Young roger daltrey12/19/2023 Overall very much worth getting for a good addition to anyones collection, hearing the songs played with a great orchestra is fantastic, just don't expect too much.Handel's Messiah is almost pop anyway, it has so many bona fide hits. Sound is very good in dolby 5.1 perhaps a little imperfectly mixed at times but very acceptable, video is excellent. Conquistador was fantastic, as was stairway to heaven (though the led zep version is obviously untouchable). However it was not one person who left me a little empty by the end of the show, the sight of so many great stars on stage singing together such great songs should have been an unforgettable concert, and as good as it was I still believe most tracks were no where near the best versions I have heard live. In my opinion she detracted from the overall quality of the performance. and I will never understand why she insisted and screaming all the way through "with a little help from my friends" what happened to just singing the song the way its meant to be sung with passion. The main turn off the vocals of Darlene love who started with a quite good version of Jumping Jack Flash, but continued to completely destroy great songs like let it be and ruby tuesday. However the DVD left me a little cold in the end. Overall most of the songs are done very well with some blistering guitar work and some fantastic vocals. The incorporation of the magnificent and full orchestra with some of the great songs of all time is an absolute pleasure and thrill to watch and hear. The sheer uniqueness off this concert tour makes this a must have in my collection of music DVDs. Still, aside from the curiosity (or novelty) factor, one has to wonder why anyone would prefer these versions to the originals. Daltrey, who never seems to tire of those Pete Townshend songs, sounds great on "You Better You Bet" and "Who Are You," as well as outside fare like the Stones' "Street Fighting Man" and Love, despite an occasional tendency to oversing, brings soulful fervor and conviction to the likes of "Ruby Tuesday." The DVD sound is superb, the visuals are good, and performers and audience alike seem to be having a good time. Some of it is pretty predictable (there's a feeling of inevitability to "Stairway to Heaven," "With a Little Help from My Friends," "Pinball Wizard," and others), but there are also moments of genuine inspiration. But that didn't stop the producers of this 90-minute outdoor concert from assembling a wildly disparate cast, ranging from Daltrey, Cooper, and Procol Harum's Gary Brooker to Darlene Love (best known as the voice of the Crystals' classic "He's a Rebel") and lesser lights like singers Alvin Fields and Nikki Lamborn, to raise money for the Let Music Live charity and to celebrate the music of the Beatles, the Stones, the Who, Led Zeppelin, and others. A Little Help From My Friendsīe honest now: what rock fan hasn't fantasized about one day seeing Alice Cooper and the Who's Roger Daltrey on stage together, belting out the Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up" with backing by Pete Townshend's brother, Ringo Starr's son, and the bombast of a full symphony orchestra? Well, OK, so maybe that peculiar pairing is no one's idea of rock & roll heaven. This program features a full orchestra, gospel choir and vocalists such as Roger Daltry, Alice Cooper, Paul Young and Darlene Love.ġ. IT'S ROCK 'N' ROLL TO ITS CORE!
