Clifford's Sing Along Adventure ReviewIf I were rating this video just based on how well I like it, it would be one star for sure! It's done in a very amateurish way, the adult stars are truly strange looking and acting---extremely overacting! The kid stars seem poorly coached. Clifford really has no role except to be there---it could be any dog or animal star---his personality in the books has no part in this video. However, my 2 sons ages 5 and 2, and their friend age 5, watched this today absolutely fascinated. They sang along, did the hand plays, and seemed to think it was the best thing going. So I had to take their opinion into consideration and give this 3 stars! The songs are old classics (although when singing Kumba-Ya My Lord, for some reason they seem to not want to say Lord and say Friend instead) and it's always good to have kids exposed to classic kids songs, so I guess this does have some merit!Clifford's Sing Along Adventure Overview

Ghost Blues: The Story of Rory Gallagher & the Beat Club Sessions (2010) ReviewGhost Blues The Story Of Rory Gallagher is a must have for any Rory Gallagher fan or for anyone who simply loves the great Blues guitarists! This fantastic 2 disc dvd set covers the life of Rory Gallagher from his childhood in Ireland to his untimely death in England at the young age of 47. Born William Rory Gallagher on March 2, 1948, Rory was the first child of Daniel and Monica Gallagher, who both were musically talented with not only singing, but Daniel also played accordian. At around age 5 or 6, Rory loved to sing and play his songs on a little dimestore plastic ukelele. It wasn't long before Rory's parents bought him his first real wood guitar at the young age of 9. Rory quickly showed his natural talent and began winning talent contests, using the prize money to buy yet a better guitar. In 1961 Rory's parents bought him the very first Fender Stratocaster guitar in Ireland- a Sunburst model which cost 100 pounds. Rory's younger brother Donal tells many great stories about Rory on this dvd and about how this guitar might as well have cost 100 million pounds, as his parents went into great debt to afford this gift for Rory. Rory used this very famous guitar through every decade up until his death in 1995.
There are many very rare pictures, films and stories on this tremendous dvd about Rory. He was the first great Blues guitarist in Ireland who opened the doors for all the other great Irish bands such as Thin Lizzy, U2 and many others. There are also many great photos, stories and films from Rory's first band from the sixties, The Taste. Besides many great commentaries and stories from his brother Donal, we also hear from Bob Geldof, Bill Wyman, Cameron Crowe, his bandmates, many others and Rory himself on this dvd. The stories from his brother Donal are wonderful, as we hear how there were no blues bands in Ireland, so Rory had to learn everything from listening to Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly and other blues greats on the radio and tv. Rory's genius didn't stop with just the guitar, he also played slide guitar, alto saxophone, bass, mandolin, banjo, harmonica and coral sitar. He was well known playing at the Marquee Club in the U.K. sharing the stage with other greats such as Cream.
On the second dvd are rare, never before seen performances from The Beat Club Sessions in 1971 and 1972. These early, rare performances have been cleaned up so the picture looks absolutely fantastic with crisp colors and superb sound! The cameras showcase Rory's early guitar work and is a real treat to see up close! A very young Rory is joined by Gerry McAvoy on bass guitar and Wilgar Campbell on drums playing the following songs:
1. Laundromat
2. Hands Up
3. Sinnerboy
4. Just The Smile
5. Used To Be
6. In Your Town
7. Should've Learned My Lesson
8. Crest Of A Wave
9. Toredown
10. Pistol Slapper Blues
11. I Don't Know Where I'm Going
12. Going To My Hometown
13. I Could've Had Religion
14. McAvoy Boogie
15. Hoodoo Man
16. Messin' With The Kid
In the late 80's, Rory began to have health problems and in 1995 he had a successful liver transplant. Just before being released from the hospital, Rory developed a MRSA infection. His health quickly deteriorated and he died on June 14, 1995. Ireland lost their leader of the Irish rock movement and the world lost a great blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and bandleader. This dvd set is a fitting tribute to Rory Gallagher whose life was too short, but whose tremendous talent will live on forever through his great trailblazing blues music!Ghost Blues: The Story of Rory Gallagher & the Beat Club Sessions (2010) Overview

Volkerball (Special Edition) (2007) ReviewThis is the special edition of Voelkerball which comes with 2 DVDs and a live CD in a CD sized digipak which folds out. This DVD is in the NTSC format so you won't have a problem playing it on a regular DVD player in America. There is also a booklette which has the song names and is filled with black and white pictures also on the back it says 'to be continued'.
The first concert footage is one that took place in France in an ampatheater and it's a full concert with 19 songs. It is also the best out of all the concert footage that they show here. They are wearing lederhosen type costumes that are black and it looks kindda funny and of course Till and Flake run around and act goofy. There are a lot of pyrotechnics going on like the fire masks, flaming mikes, flamethrowers, sparks shooting out all over the place and they use a lot of light effects more than on their other DVDs. Overall this is a very good show full of good songs, great effects and energy and the only problem I can think of is that Till seems to lose his voice at times and sometimes he's hard to hear but this is still a good concert.
The next concert footage is in England but they only show them play 4 songs. I didn't really care for this footage because they show the audience too much and I didn't like some of the camera angleing. Also they played a couple of the same songs from the French concert but overall the footage is okay.
The next concert footage is from Japan and they play 2 songs plus they show a trailer. Again the 2 songs that they do play were also played in France but it's not that much of a problem here but the little trailer they showed is just clips of the concert and of fans.
The last concert footage is from Russia and they play Moscau which they didn't play in France and they have some woman on stage woman on stage singing and dancing with them. The problem that I have with this song is that throughout it they cut to footage of them in Russia and meeting fans so it ruins the atmosphere of the song it would have been okay if they showed it at the end or beggining of the song but what can you do?
The extra DVD is has a documentary where the band and manager talk about the shows and touring which would be okay to wath every now and then. However there is also a making of which is just boring and not really worth watching. There are subtitles in english, spanish, portuguese, french, japanese and german.
The CD is taken from the show in France and it has 15 of the 19 songs. The cd is good with no real problems but I'd rather watch and hear the footage than just hear it.
All the songs in all the concert footage and on the CD: Reise, Reise, links 234, keine lust, Feuer frei!, Asche zu Asche, Morgenstern, Mein Teil, Stein um Stein, Los, Du Riechst So Gut, Benzin, Sehnsucht, America, Rammstein, Sonne, Ich Will, Ohne Dich, Stripped, Rein Raus, Moskau
I would reccomend this DVD to anyone who likes Rammstein or who likes to watch a good show. Whether you get this special edition or the cheaper one without the documentary is up to you just as long as it's Voelkerball by Rammstein because you'll love it .Volkerball (Special Edition) (2007) Overview
