Product: Music for Montserrat (1997)
Rating: 5.0
Legendary Concert!
I originally came across this DVD while searching for material from Mark Knopfler. After looking at the set list, I tried to find it but it had gone out of print. I was thilled to see it available once again and bought it immediately. All I can say is this is an excellent show! The only drawback to me (but not enough to drop this rating to a four) is the flow of the music early on....Phil Collins does an excellent job on the opening track with Take Me Home, but then we shift to Hot Hot Hot, Blue Suede Shoes and Jimmy Buffet. Just seemed kinda screwy.However, this is the turning point of the show with no weak performances the rest of the way. The highlights being Brothers in Arms, Sting, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Layla and a great medley from McCartney to wrap things up.The DTS recording is solid, but not at the level of Clapton's 'One more Car, One more Rider' or the Eagles 'HFO' but not many are. Still, it's well done and not a detriment to the disc whatsoever.The bottom line is it's a legendary lineup for a very worthy cause...BUY IT!
