Music DVD & Blu-ray Reviews

Fall Out Boy's new live DVD, 'The Boys of Zummer Tour: Live in Chicago,' lets fans experience all of their hits in one place.

Bonamassa and his band fire on all cylinders on this live 2-CD or 2-DVD set. Recorded, amazingly, at a single sold-out Los Angeles concert in 2015, the selections pay tribute to the three "Kings" of the blues: Freddie King, Albert King, and Bonamassa's mentor B.B. King.

Fans of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will have lots of fun with 'Circlin' Back: Celebrating 50 Years Live'.

For a less musically talented band, being able to reconceive the sounds within the songs physically and rhythmically could have turned this kind of release been a box set of cheap sonic “tricks” designed to fool the listener into thinking the extra money it costs to buy the “enhanced” version of an album was well worth it. For Chicago? It allowed them to see just what was possible with the sound.

Newly released in standalone DVD and digital formats, the band's final show with founding keyboardist Jon Lord includes classic hits – "Woman from Tokyo," "Highway Star," "Hush," "Space Truckin'," and of course "Smoke on the Water."

This is Johnny Winter at his peak in a stellar performance with guest Dr. John on Swedish TV in 1987.

Mika's songs lend themselves naturally to orchestral treatment. His voice is an instrument of precision and sparkle as well as range, dancing between a supple tenor and a relaxed falsetto; with masterful vocal control, he sings with subtle power and finely tuned sensitivity against the orchestra and background singers.

Pete Seeger is a genuine American treasure. Anyone who loves folk music or is interested in American music history should have this pack in their collection.

The new Alan Jackson concert DVD, 'Keepin’ It Country – Live at Red Rocks', gives you that “being there” experience. He's an entertainer you just do not want to miss.

We see a few scenes of Janis and fellow musicians hard at work in the studio, and plenty of performance clips, but where the film excels is in showing us how her life fed her performances.
