Both concert DVD's are a lot of fun, and the music is great. I have to give the Megastar DVD the nod as the best of the two DVD's. Watching the concert in HD is such an improvement. The light show is far superior, the music tighter and more refined. Sound is slightly better. Their new female vocalist Adrian Hartley projects her outstanding voice better than the Complexes guest vocalists. Megastar also has a Ace of a cut playing Pink Floyd's One Of These Days. It is one awesome over the top rocker that might make you say, Blue Floyd Rocks, Pink who?
Last comment, HD TV is like looking out a clean window, while the old tv is like looking out a very dirty window. If you can afford one buy it. Blue Man Group Rocks! Megastar 5 Stars The Complex 4 Stars.
Blue Man Group is a strange experience, I suppose. It's as much theater as rock band, but then what great band isn't as much theater as rock?
This DVD shows a concert tour the group did, rather than a Las Vegas show. So, it's a performance from band to audience, and not so much a comedy and audience involvement show as they would do in Sin City or elsewhere. As such, it's a lot of fun to watch and listen to, and is not likely to grow old with repeated watching.
I'm not going to dwell on each song or particular aspects of the show, other than to say that their performance of Baba O'Reilly is one of the best rock performances recorded, ever, by anyone. That cut alone is worth the price of the DVD. It will astonish you that they can pull it off live.It will rock you from head to toe. I would have bought just that song on a DVD and been perfectly satisfied. It's that good.
And the rest of the DVD is almost as fine. Five stars, without hesitation.
