Hanson - Tulsa, Tokyo & the Middle of Nowhere [VHS]
Most people will never get the chance to meet the celebrities they most admire. Fans of teen rock sensation Hanson can, however, get the next best thing with the 1997 release of Tulsa, Tokyo & the Middle of Nowhere. Isaac, Taylor, and Zac take you along behind the scenes on their world tour and let you see their own personalities through interviews and action clips. While there are several musical selections, this is not a concert video.  One standout musical segment is an a capella sound check in the Sydney, Australia, Opera House where they sing "MMMBop." Elsewhere, the guys tell the story of how they wrote "MMMBop," followed by clips from the making of, and finally the music video for the song. Also included is a re-edited version of their video for "Where's the Love." The program runs 82 minutes and concludes with live performances of "Where's the Love," "A Minute Without You," and "MMMBop" from their performance at the Beacon Theatre in New York. -- --Larry Clark
