Cactus - Live DVD
Review by Gary Hill
I admit it; I’m a progressive rock and heavy metal junkie. That doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate good old blues oriented 1970’s styled rock – who doesn’t?
More
Cactus - Live, Loud & Proud DVD
Review by Gary Hill

Cactus might not have gotten the attention that groups like Led Zeppelin and Cream did, but they were an extremely capable band cut from that same cloth of hard rocking, blues based classic jams.

John Cale - Live at Rockpalast DVD
Review by Gary Hill

While this is billed as John Cale and Band, the first is a more stripped down performance.

Canned Heat - Live at Montreux 1973 DVD (2 Disc)
Review by Gary Hill
I don't know what it is with labels these days. Well, actually I do. I just don't like it.

Canned Heat - Live at Montreux 1973 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
Canned Heat were one of the cooler bluesy hard rock acts of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Certainly there name has become something of a legend over the years.
More
Ray Charles - Live at Montreux 1997 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
Here we have a DVD from the Live at Montreux series of an artist who lives up the “Montreux Jazz Festival” title. I know, I frequently poke fun at the misnomer of this festival, but it’s good to see one that’s actually true to that musical genre.


More
Ray Charles - Live In France 1961 DVD
Review by G. W. Hill

Anyone who doubts the talents and skills of Ray Charles, or who regards him as anything less than a real musical powerhouse, really needs to watch this DVD.


More
Chic - Live at the Budokan DVD
Review by Gary Hill
Remembering the days when rock music was seemingly fighting with disco for its very survival – or at least it seemed like it. Disco really felt like some evil monster.
More
The Chieftains - Live Over Ireland – Water From The Well DVD
Review by Gary Hill
With the title of this DVD one might think they are getting a concert video. That’s not what this is, so perhaps that’s the first thing we should clear up.
More
The Chieftains - Live at Montreux 1997 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
The Live at Montreux series of DVD’s is pretty much a series of winners. You just can’t go wrong.

John Cipollina / Nick Gravenites Band - Rockpalast: West Coast Legends, Vol. 1 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
This is one of the best DVDs in the series. The performance here moves between pure blues and jam band sounds.

More
Circle Jerks - My Career as a Jerk DVD
Review by G. W. Hill

I always liked the Circle Jerks a lot.


More
Eric Clapton - Live at Montreux 1986 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
Eric Clapton might well be one of the highest rated guitarists in the business. Sometimes his talent deserves those accolades.
More
Eric Clapton - The 1960s Review DVD
Review by Gary Hill

I’ve never been one of those people who were blown away by Eric Clapton. That said, I’ve always felt that music he did in the 1960s was, without question, the most vital and important of his career.


More
Cliff and the Shadows - The Final Reunion: Live From the 02 Arena in London DVD
Review by Gary Hill
The “Cliff” mentioned here is, of course, Cliff Richard. If you are a fan of his solo career and want to find that music, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
More
Clutch - Full Fathom Five DVD
Review by Gary Hill

As far as I’m concerned Clutch is an incredibly cool band. Their blend of classic rock textures with metal and other sounds produces something that’s basically a cousin of stoner metal.


More
Joe Cocker - Cry Me A River DVD
Review by Gary Hill
If you are not a hardcore fan of Joe Cocker, it’s easy to think of him as the caricature portrayed by John Belushi on “Saturday Night Live.” This DVD shows that there is a lot more to the man than that.
More
Commander Cody - Rockpalast: Blues Rock Legends, Vol. 1 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
I really like this DVD a lot. Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen perform an intriguing blend of blues, rock, jazz and R & B that at times shifts near to Frank Zappa.

More
Leonard Cohen - Leonard Cohen’s Lonesome Heroes DVD
Review by Gary Hill

Fans of Leonard Cohen will certainly find this in-depth. Pretty much anyone will find it in-depth.


More
Leonard Cohen - Bird on a Wire DVD
Review by Gary Hill

There was a day when real movies about musicians were fairly common. This film, centering around Leonard Cohen’s 1972 tour comes from those days.


More
Coldplay - XYX – The Story Behind DVD
Review by Gary Hill
The latest release in the unauthorized series of biographies on Locomotive, this time they turn their attention to Coldplay. As one might guess when that word “unauthorized” is in the title, they aren’t able to use music from the band.
More
Albert Collins - Live At Montreux 1992 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
The Live at Montreux series is a pretty sure thing. These shows are always quite good in terms of audio and video production.
More
Phil Collins - A Life Less Ordinary DVD
Review by Gary Hill
This video is not perfect, and is not quite what I was expecting, but is pretty darn interesting. Indeed, I was thinking that I would find a lot of musical snippets and clips, and while there are some (from all phases of Phil's career, I might add), they are short and far and few between, but that is not the true purpose or beauty of this video.
More
Alice Cooper - Live at Montreux 2005 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
I've been an Alice Cooper fan for a very long time and have seen him live on numerous occasions. As such I suppose I'm a pretty good person to review this new DVD.
More
Alice Cooper - Brutally Live DVD
Review by Gary Hill
Recorded in London on July 19, 2000, this is a great record of Alice's Brutal Planet tour and a killer concert video to boot. The show begins with a warning from the robotic "controller" to get away while you have the chance.
More
Elvis Costello - Spectacle – Elvis Costello With... Season 2 DVD
Review by Gary Hill

When Elvis Costello emerged in the punk/new wave movement of the 1970s it’s a pretty safe bet that few ever thought he’d become a talk show host.


More
Counting Crows - August and Everything After: Live at Town Hall BluRay
Review by Gary Hill

I’ve got to admit to not being a huge fan of Counting Crows.


More
Cream - The Making Of Disraeli Gears DVD
Review by Gary Hill
You've really got to love this series of DVD's. When these people say classic albums, they mean it.
More
Cream - Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2005 BluRay
Review by G. W. Hill

I remember when I first heard about the Cream reunion I really wished I could have made the shows.


More
Cream - Classic Artists: Cream DVD
Review by G. W. Hill

This is an exhaustive documentary. It really showcases a lot of cool things, from early footage, killer interviews and real insights.


More
Kid Creole - Live at Rockpalast DVD
Review by G. W. Hill

This is a two disc set, showing off two different concerts by this band.


More
Cro-Mags - The Final Quarrel: Live at CGBG 2001 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
Punk should be raw and angry, and Cro-Mags definitely deliver. There is so much energy and angst on the stage you can almost think of them as extra members of the band.
More
Sheryl Crow - Miles from Memphis Live at the Pantages Theatre Blu-Ray
Review by Gary Hill

I’ve never completely gotten the whole Sheryl Crow thing.


More
The Crusaders - Live at Montreux 2003 DVD
Review by Rick Damigella

Here we have a Montreux Jazz Festival gig that is actually jazz! Yeah!


More
Culture Club - Live In Sydney DVD
Review by G. W. Hill
Alright, alright, I know - a lot of you are probably scratching your heads and saying, "MSJ is covering Culture Club?" Well, the truth is, while I'm definitely a prog and metal head, I can appreciate good pop music and that's exactly what Culture Club always did.
More
The Cure - Lost in the Labyrinth DVD
Review by Gary Hill
Let's just get it out right upfront, I've always liked The Cure, but never been what you'd call a fanatic. So, this biography DVD is something to which I've really looked forward.
