Music in High Places - Collective Soul (Live from Morocco)

Rating:
Summary: A splendid acoustic performance...
Review: If you like Collective Soul, or if your just a fan of acoustic music, this is the DVD for you. Collective Soul is at their best here playing a variety of hits in Morocco. Some of the songs that you wouldn't think would translate well to acoustic, such as Gel, are brilliant. Every song is great, the scenery is beautiful, ... you can't go wrong!

Recommended.

Summary: Finally Heaven has shined the light down on me
Review: Let me sum right at the start, any Collective Soul fan worth his loyalty to the band, has to have this awesome compilation.
Sadly as an avid fan from one of the PAL territories, I could experience this compilation in the NTSC format only abt a month back. Its a beautiful compilation. To be honest, Im a little bit peeved that there are no songs included from Disciplined Breakdown and Dosage. Both these albums were absolutely fantastic and the songs from them could have easily lend themselves to some beautiful acoustic prformances, not to mention that these album were released way before Morocco. In my opinion Music In High Places could have added an impromptu jam session showcasing a couple of songs from these albums.
But then again this is the only official Collective Soul DVD and for all thats lacking, I would still buy this because the songs have been done fantastic. Especially the unplugged version of Gel, where there are a couple of Moroccan kids singing in chorus and going gaga with the bands performance. One sore thumb is the lack of any Morocco style jamming with the band on any one [or more than that ;-)]of their songs, which would have been the icing on the cake.
The individual band members display a honest sense of attitude and though the documentary doesnt dwell indepth with individual characters, you do get a feeling that they are definitely an unpretentious lot.
Overall you know that the people who were responsible for the production loved what they were doing and that technical finesse has gone into the making of this DVD. Rock on guys!!!

Review: Months ago I was flipping the channels and stopped on MTV for a second... then I was glued. I wasn't even much of a fan before this but I knew when it was over I wanted it on tape or DVD. I want to invite my friends over if only to show them the performence of "GEL" with the children of Morocco. Just Amazing. Wish I could rate it higher.

Summary: The Best of the Series
Review: This is, withiout a doubt, my favorite music DVD of any that I have heard. I have been a fan of Collective Soul for a long time and I love all of their albums. The original versions of the songs on this DVD are all very good, but the acoustic performances of the songs are twice as good. When I first saw that Heavy was going to be on this DVD, I wondered how they would pull it off on acoustic and had some doubts but they did an awesome job of making the transfer to acoustic. A must have for all acoustic music fans. An all around incredible DVD
