Product: Music for Montserrat (1997)
Rating: 5.0
Great Sound and Great Music
The usual group of London England musicians gather in Albert Hall for a fund raiser for the island of Monserrat which had been devastated by a volcanic eruption. Beatles producer George Martin kicks off the concert and probably had a hand in the DVD production. The sound quality is superb. The Albert Hall ambience is right on. The musicians are at their best. Phil Collins kicks off with a great number. The concert then sags a bit until it's revived by Mark Knofler. If you watch the backup group closely you'll notice that the excellent session guitarist is quitely joined by an old guy named Clapton. From that point on the music soars as Knofler, Collins, Sting, Clapton, Elton John, and finally McCartney put on a show that can be watched over and over again.
