Ted Nugent - Full Bluntal Nugity Live
For all his political bluster and braggadocio about clean living and killing his own food, let's not overlook the fact that Ted Nugent the guitarist and showman is an entertaining dude, a quality that's in abundance on this two-disc DVD package. In fact, there's more Nuge here than pretty much anyone could need: two hours from a 2001 concert in hometown Detroit (Ted twice comes onstage astride a bison, showing he hasn't lost his flair) mixed with rehearsal and sound check footage, plus enough extras (old concert performances, Nugent's audio commentary, etc.) and assorted bells and whistles to carry over to a second disc. There's even a clip of Nuge lip-syncing "Journey to the Center of the Mind" with his '60s group the Amboy Dukes. Nugent's tuneless hard rock songs and screeching vocals are as, uh, distinctive as ever, but at least the 50-plus rocker has ditched the loincloth and Tarzan act.--Sam Graham
