View From Space With Heavenly Music (2006) ReviewI agree with the previous posts that the picture quality is excellent and the music is also very good. The only thing I don't like is that it is only about 10 minutes of footage which repeats, and repeats, and repeats... It is good but I was expecting something a little different with city views, night views, or atleast something recognizable. I haven't figured out where any of the shots are from yet.View From Space With Heavenly Music (2006) OverviewAs viewed and filmed in High Definition by astronauts on the space shuttle, this is the Planet Earth as few have seen before.

Deep Purple: Live at Montreux 2006 (2007) ReviewI don't watch a lot of concert videos, but as a fan of classic rock, I figured Deep Purple was a safe bet. This concert took place in Montreux in 2006, so Deep Purple wasn't in their prime, but this is still a solid show. The band sounds excellent, but the lead vocals don't always keep up the pace. This is never too much of a concern however and as the show moves on, Ian Gillan is able to get into the groove with his vocals. The technical aspects of the concert are top notch, with a lot of cameras used and that provides numerous perspectives, giving it a kinetic texture. The lighting is great and the camerawork is terrific, a professionally photographed and enjoyable to watch concert from start to finish. Below is a list of the songs performed.
1. Pictures of Home
2. Things I Never Said
3. Strange Kind of Woman
4. Rapture of the Deep
5. Wrong Man
6. The Well-Dressed Guitar
7. Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye
8. When a Blind Man Cries
9. Lazy
10. Keyboard Solo
11. Space Truckin'
12. Highway Star
13. Smoke on the Water
14. Hush
15. Too Much Fun
16. Black Night
VIDEO:
The concert is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. This is a recent concert and as such, it looks quite good. The image captures all the bright lights that flash across the stage, which means at times detail is lost, but even during strobes, the visuals hold up well. The colors weren't as vivid as I expected, but hues still come off as bright. No trouble with contrast, black levels are spot on and don't waver in the least. This is as close as you can get to being in the front row unless you were there, so I think fans will be most pleased.
AUDIO:
I went with the DTS HD 5.1 option here and without question, this soundtrack rocks. The sound design here is impressive, I couldn't believe how well crafted the audio was at times. While the video was close to the live experience, I have to think this sounds even better than being at the show in person. The surround use is beyond great, thanks to directional presence and just superb movement. The instruments really shine in this mix, but the vocals also sound terrific. This disc also includes a Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 option, as well as an LPCM stereo soundtrack.
EXTRAS:
This disc includes interviews with the band, as well as the London Hard Rock Cafe performance in 2006. This concert runs about an hour and should please fans. The interviews cover a wide range of topics, from the story behind Smoke on the Water to their fans and beyond.Deep Purple: Live at Montreux 2006 (2007) OverviewFew bands are more closely associated with Montreux than DeepPurple and there was simply no other contender when it came to choosing theact to headline the closing night of the 40th Montreux Festival in 2006.The band duly delivered one of their finest live performances, sprinklingsongs from their latest album "Rapture Of The Deep" through a set chockfull of their classic tracks. There was even a brand new song "Too MuchFun" written especially for the occasion and, of course, a show-stoppingperformance of "Smoke On The Water".Tracklisting: Live At Montreux 2006: 1) Pictures Of Home 2) Things I Never Said 3)Strange Kind Of Woman 4) Rapture Of The Deep 5) Wrong Man 6) TheWell-Dressed Guitar 7) Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye 8) When A Blind Man Cries 9)Lazy 10) Keyboard Solo 11) Space Truckin' 12) Highway Star 13) Smoke On TheWater 14) Hush 15) Too Much Fun 16) Black Night Bonus Features: London Hard Rock: 1) Fireball 2) I Got Your Number 3) Strange Kind Of Woman4) Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye 5) Rapture Of The Deep 6) Wrong Man 7) Lazy 8)Perfect Strangers 9) Highway Star 10) Smoke On The WaterInterviews with the band.

Santana: Hymns for Peace - Live at Montreux 2004 (2007) ReviewThis is what happens when you get a collection of some of the world's best jazz musicians, very talented vocalists, and Carlos Santana on one stage together...just a spectacular performance!
Santana and his band are worth the price of admission alone but add Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin(Santana's mentor back in the 70's), Wayne Shorter, Ravi Coltrane plus Stevie Winwood from Traffic fame, and a collection of wonderful female vocalists and you have one of the very best concert DVD's in a long time. The people attending this concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival saw a history making performance.
Add to this, the camera work was excellent and the sound spot-on. The selections of songs were very eclectic, with pices ranging from, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Harry Bellafonte, and of course Santana. Often, when you get too many front-line musicians on the stage together, it can sound like a train wreck but that never happens here. There seems to be a real sense of symbiosis, all the pieces fall together perfectly.
If you want to see Santana perform his more popular songs get, "Supernatural Live" or the "Santana Live By Request" DVD's.
However, if you want to see "real performers" performing at the highest level, playing songs that inspire them, while having a great time, get this DVD.Santana: Hymns for Peace - Live at Montreux 2004 (2007) OverviewOn July 15, 2004, Santana took to the stage in Montreuxaccompanied by a stunning line-up of guests to perform a concert of songsabout peace and understanding that they dubbed "Hymns For Peace". Joiningthe regular Santana line-up in the band were Chick Corea, John McLaughlin,Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ravi Coltrane and Idrissa Diop with furtherguest appearances through the night from Angelique Kidjo, Barbara Morrison,Patti Austin, Sylver Sharp, Steve Winwood and Nile Rodgers.Tracklisting: 1) Afro Blue 2) Adouma 3) Redemption Song 4) Exodus / Get Up Stand Up 5)Blowin' In The Wind / A Place In The Sun 6) Just Like A Woman 7) What'sGoing On 8) Peace On Earth / Boogie Woman 9) Why Can't We Live Together 10)Light At The Edge Of The World 11) Let Us Go Into The House Of The Lord 12)Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) 13) Day Of Celebration 14) Ah Sweet Dancer /In A Silent Way 15) Jingo 16) A Love Supreme 17) Ode To JoyBonus Features: Additional tracks: 1) One Love / People Get Ready 2) Imagine 3) Give PeaceA Chance.Behind The Scenes footage and interview with Santana.
