Devo - Live In The Land
Of The Rising Sun
The godfathers of the discordian pose are not
dead, and they layer the self-immolating irony like tapioca on sushi
in this bizarre event, playing at rock stars for an unselfconscious
crush of crazed Japanese Devo-tees. Hilarious futuristic nostalgia.

Live Aid
The biggest concert event in history? Might
just be. 1.5 billion viewers, just about every meaningful name in
the pop/rock catalogue performing on two continents. This is the concert
the Beatles would have probably reformed to play. Now you can see
all ten performance hours, every act, without the cut-offs, sloppy
switching and ragged sequencing that marred the actual live experience.

Toronto Rocks
What is it with T.O. and the Stones? They rehearse
there, get busted there, play charity concerts instead of serving
time there... And here is the epic show they headlined in 2003 that
the Ontario government set up to convince the world the SARS epidemic
was over, featuring a best-of Canadian lineup and a motley international
grab bag (the Flaming Lips open for Justin Timberlake?). A fine show,
supposedly the largest ticketed single day event in history, with
half a million in attendance, but in twenty years no one will be calling
this the SARStock Nation. Region: 1

Marillion
- Brave
In 1994 neo-prog artrockers
Marillion made a brave move with this concept piece, commissioning
filmmaker Richard Stanley to help them tell the tale, based on a true
story, of a young girl found wandering in the UK with amnesia. It
ended up losing them their record deal, because brave isn't always
smart, but we are left with this fascinating atmospheric gem of feature-length
music video

The
Rolling Stones - Rock And Roll Circus
A legendary document from
1968, as famous for its flaws as its triumphs (Yoko wails painfully
and Marianne Faithfull mesmerizes, Ian
Anderson lip-synchs poorly and Pete Townsend sets fire
to the place), withheld from release for years by Jagger, (who does
embarrass himself), it's the extra interviews and bonus footage that
make this DVD a collector's must-have
