Backstage Pass

Rating:
Summary: Excellent overview for the price
Review: Great footage of Billy Joel and Yo-Yo Ma. An eclectic mix that has something for everyone. I enjoyed the cross section.

Summary: Mr. Zane apparently has no taste
Review: My friend owns this DVD and I came here to get my own copy. This DVD offers a great collection of varied artists' performances ranging from run-of-the-mill (only a few) to absolutely great (several). Included are performances by Yo-Yo Ma, Shawn Colvin, Charlotte Church (I think that's her name - the 15 year old singer), Stevie Ray Vaughn (Pride and Joy), his brother (I think it's his brother, singing Texas Flood), and many others.

Shawn Colvin's performance is especially noteworthy, perhaps the best in this package. Must have for Shawn Colvin fans.

Stevie Ray's performance is also excellent, as is the performance of Texas Flood included here by his brother.

Yo-Yo Ma's performance opened my mind to the classical genre. Charlotte gives a good performance, though her music is not to my liking (I guess I like classical best without vocals).

I'd love to review some more, but it's been over a month since the last time I viewed this DVD.

Summary: Matt Zane, this is lame.
Review: Wow, I have actually seen a DVD I refuse to ever see again. Backstage Pass II was "decent" in some parts, but this is very lame. In case you don't know this is put out by Matt Zane's Inzane Records who is the "singer" for Society1. This is a shameless act of greed, this DVD offers absolutely nothing. I have nothing against Society1, I am not a fan, but this DVD is horrible.

This contains interviews: with Fred Durst & Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit, Insane Clown Posse, Jay Gordon of Orgy, Nashville Possy, Jonathan Davis of Korn and others...
