| | Customer Reviews: annoying omissions in UK version (03 May 2008)several tracks listed on the USA version have been left off this release e.g. all of Jeff Beck, some of Carlos Santana, some of John Mayer. The layla performance - title 2 on dvd 2 - is inaccessible via regular menus - how stupid & annoying. If I buy a music DVd I don't expect to have to play childish hide n seek games with it to find the songs. Buy the USA version. Guitar Heaven (10 May 2007)Where to start.If you are a lover of the blues, or an electric guitar fan then this is THE DVD you must have. This surely has to be the finest gathering of artists ever assembled in one place. I was blown away with the guitar playing of all the players, it is amazing the sounds that come from their instruments, hearing is believing. I shan't list the individual performances, I will let you enjoy finding out for yourself. I will say though that "Clapton" is at his absolute best, the king playing to his court, the number one of all time. This DVD is at the top of my play list, and will not let you down. I assure you that if you had to save one DVD from your burning house, this will be it. If you want to go to guitar heaven, then buy this, turn up the volume, press play and just enjoy. Fantastic!!! (04 March 2005)Absolutely fantastic! I don't know what else I could say to describe how i felt watching this DVD... it "got me on my knees!". a breathtaking experience. i only wish i was there live! PS the hidden clip on disc 2 isn't necessarily next to the words MAIN - mine was beneath the guitar solos bit :) This DVD has a hidden extra!!!!!!!!!! (15 February 2005)Put disc 2 in In the menu, go to Extras Move the 'pointer' to the option 'Main' but don't select it Move left one more time and you'll notice the 'pointer' vanishes then Hit select - a rather familiar riff will fill your ears....fantastic. Oh and by the way, the whole DVD is magical. Just brilliant! There's lots of stuff (even though there are sad omissions, like Jeff Beck), and lots of styles, although blues is obviously the common link... There's lots of interesting and amazing playing throughout, and even Clapton seems to play with a little more fire than usual... It was a pity the old bluesmen get so little time, but I enjoyed the whole thing a lot and even those guitarists I didn't know about... made some fine discoveries too, of course... At some point halfway through watching it, I felt Lynyrd Skynyrd would have fitted the bill just perfect, and I wished they had played there... guitar power they don't lack, that's for sure... and Rossington, Thomasson and Medlocke are all brilliant... But anyway, even though one wishes it was a 3 DVD set, there's plenty to get one's teeth into... First off, the bluesmen (Robert Cray, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Vaughan, BB King, Buddy Guy) all put on a beautiful performance and it is very clear they are enjoying themselves, which adds to one's own enjoyment... Then it's country time! Somebody I had never heard of is Vince Gill, but his country songs, and especially the solo on "Oklahoma Borderline" left me in awe... A nice addition is James Taylor... he gets to play some blues side by side with Joe Walsh, who just can't stop being the goof he's always been and who puts some of the best performances on the DVD, "Funk 49" and "Rocky Mountain Way"... Walsh is always great to see live... John Mayer was another unknown for me... he's very young but classy and passionate... I enjoyed his performance... There was also Steve Vai and his band who just floor anyone with their performance... one song is enough to blow you away... intense! There were lots more great performances: J.J. Cale, Larry Carlton, John McLaughlin... Highlights for me were the bluesmen... Clapton's own performances and his collaboration with Santana on a scorching "Jingo"... Tyminski & Block... Vince Gill... plus Joe Walsh... Vai... McLaughlin... and an Indian player called Vishwa Mohan Batt, who plays a veena that he built himself out of a guitar..... Clapton's band puts the finishing touches to the show..... or so it seems because after him, comes one of the absolute best moments in the DVD, when the lights dim and a voice comes out of the speakers: "Señores y señoritas.... it's fiesta time!" Of course, it's that "little old band from Texas", ZZ TOP! It's such a damn shame they get so little time in the DVD, because their performance is hugely enjoyable and you can see the big Dallas crowd having fun with the band... Yes, it should have been a 3 DVD set! |
