Cheap Music Cd

Reviews

After the death of LeRoi Moore in 2008, there was left a gaping hole in DMB's line-up that caused many people like myself to wonder if they would be able to come back from such a huge loss both mentally and musically. Big Whiskey answers those fears and then some. After the exceedingly dull American Baby, Whiskey finds the band more focused than any release since Busted Stuff. The band even channels some of the jams that got them started way back on BTCS. "Lying in the Hands of God" might just be my favorite DMB song now. This album is not just a fitting tribute and honor to the late LeRoi, but it might even be arguably DMB's best album.

I really like Dave Matthews's music.. After 'Some Devil' I was expecting very nicely crafted music with a message from the DMB. Instead it's a bombastic mess and almost mindless music and lyrics. I bought the LP and I don't know if the engineering is any better on cd but it's another 'pushed-to-the-max' style of recording.. with everything recorded at the same level, driven to distortion. There is no delicacy or intimacy in the album. I can look past recording quality if there is a message to hear in the music.. I have to do this with Coldplay.. great music, terrible recording quality... but I listen through it to 'get' the musical message. Anyway.. The Big Whiskey album has no message.. other than, "hey, we're DMB, here's some music we made." Under the Table, Crash, etc. were all revolutionary, soulful and seemed important. This last album is a 'whatever' album, infinitely forgettable.. and of course, THIS is the one they choose to go vinyl with.. sigh. Much like Ben Folds has lost his way, so has DMB. It's fine.. you run out of things to emote after a while. I just don't get all the positive reviews.. This album doesn't hold a candle to his earlier work. -C

I've always been a fan of DMB, but I noticed that their most recent albums haven't been as well-received as their earlier stuff, even though album sales hadn't dropped off. To make things even more difficult, saxophonist LeRoi Moore died during production due to injuries stemming from an ATV accident on his farm. But Dave and the boys soldiered on with their tribute to their fallen brother, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. You can especially tell they're saluting LeRoi by his instrumental interludes at the beginning of the album and after "You & Me". Critics and fans alike are calling this album the best album of the band's career, probably because it's more in the vein of Under the Table and Dreaming and Crash in that it doesn't sound quite as mainstream as their later stuff. Although I agree with that assertion, I can't exactly call the album a classic. But there are great songs aplenty, like "Why I Am"; and if you can't get energized by "Shake Me Like a Monkey", I don't know what's wrong. Another highlight, "Squirm", is the kind of theatrical track I haven't really heard from them since Before These Crowded Streets (I initially thought there was too much going on in that song, but it grew on me now). But Dave DOES go a little too far with the hard-rock-style screaming during the bridge of "Time Bomb". But that can be ignored after hearing standouts like "Baby Blue", "Alligator Pie" and the aforementioned "You & Me" (people finally picked up on the latter after the Grammy performance, but did no one see Saturday Night Live???). Though a tragedy was the inspiration for Big Whiskey, it somehow turned the album into a nice return to form for the band. I think LeRoi would have been proud. Anthony Rupert

I tried ordering this item twice as a gift for my sister, but it was 'undeliverable' for some reason. Consequently, my review if for AMAZON, not the CD. They failed to deliver my purchase (twice).

Love the album. I listened to it repeatedly for months in my car. This is DMB's best album since Crash. It has a good mix of upbeat and mellow.

I liked the way Dave and Tim were doing with their guitars. It is amazing what you can do just with 2 guitars. The blu-ray format is incredible. I won't write too much about Dave's singing skill. There are plenty of them. But just assure you that you will not regret your purchase, if you like good vocal, realistic lyrics and good guitar playing...

if you like dave matthews and acoustical, you'll love this. Tim Reynolds is simply the best!

As promised, the cd was in good condition and I recived it on time. Thank you.

The audio and video are superb. You ARE sitting inside these guitars. Its amazing. Put it on a 100 inch or bigger screen in HD with high resolution audio, and its pure heaven.

I love DMB so I have a bias to his music. This concert is great but the Blu Ray picture and sound quality of this are UNBELIEVABLE! Amazon's price is the best and you won't be disappointed!

Its the same . Its the same. Its the same. Great another full price release of old played out live music im the sucker that bought the first 10 repeat albums. Why do I need this?? Come on DMB i love you guys but stop already with the monthly release of the same 10 songs remixed and rearranged its getting RETARDED!!

Got the product within the time frame given to me. Product was in perfect condition. Pleased with this purchase.

Hi, If you just want the CD, it's 10$ in Itunes ... sound amazing. Thanks

I just heard about this release, and was excited to buy it, but when I saw the price, I was stunned! I have been a DMB fan for many years, and have several of their CDs. I have never seen them charge this much for their music! Why start now? I'm going to shop around for a discount. Hopefully, I can find a copy at a decent price!

Considering I have seen DMB 48 times and saw them start out in 1993 on the East Coast I am not your average fan. I have been waiting 15 years to get a great LIOG on DVD, and am a huge fan of Jeff Coffin and what he does to #41...All the BW songs sound great; Always loved Dive In, think the outro is amazing... With that being said the 4 bonus TRAX on the DVD are f"ing" incredible! Love Time Bomb and this is one of the sickest Two Steps ever recorded, Carter's drumming is beyond sick!!! I also would have loved to see Tim's Stairway Interpolation during Watchtower... seems he started a few shows later... If I were rating the dvd alone I would give it a "5" If I were rating the CD alone I would give it a "1"; hate it, what a joke to charge $60 for this package and the same setlist is repeated except for 7 songs! (I don't count Rye Whiskey as one; as that is not much of a song).. Why not give us Broxton N! on DVD instead of this crappy Lucca show??? All in all they should have just released the DVD separately and charged $!8 .. and also released a BluRay version... One last point... the sound engineer did an amazing job ... Joe Lawlor...this is one of the best sounding DMB recordings released!

Great DVD of all the videos from Dave Matthews Band up to 2001. Great 'making of the videos' shorts & extra features - including subtitles to all the songs. In case you want to figure out what Dave is singing in Ants.

Shows the videos going back to early DMB... some good tunes from the group.

Excelent compilation of the DMB's hits. This is a must for DMB's fans. And if you are not, it is great opportunity to listen to one of the best pop music bands out there. I particularly enjoy this DVD because many of the songs that are prior to the Everyday album were not recorded in good quality, so it was hard to find decent studio versions (Apart from the fact that this band sounds much better live). Besides, the videos are amazing, so full of creativity, with unsual camera angles, some are so surreal. The quality is great, clear and clean video and great Dolby 5.1 sound. Furthermore, they added subtitled lyrics, so one can sing along. The only con is that the extra features are not so good, I expected more interviews with the band members, instead it is just a bunch of clips from the video making. I got the Under THe Table and Drumming DVD, and there one can understand what was on Carter's mind when jamming with the rest group members, he explains the approach he used for each track. It is excelent. I would be great that BMG sell a DVD with a jamming session. These guys are so good musicians and there is so much chemistry between them that it must be delight watching them in during the creative process of making their music.

Love this DVD. It has his most well-known video's and it has the suprise of having "The Space Between" on it. I was quite thrilled with it and hope they do another one soon. Would also love to see the VH1 storytellers with Tim Reynolds. Dave really tells some funny stories. Please release that! But for now, I will stay satisfied with this DVD.

Me myself, I'm not a fan of the music video. I think it is a terrible way to promote an album. This DVD has all of their videos in excellent quality and behind the scenes footage and much more. I enjoyed this, although I thought it would be a terrible buy.

Ok, so the eye isn't gay, but it's no more incorrect than the film's title. The eye is very queer in every other way. Oh hang on I think it might have experimented, once. It's eyesexual. THE PLOT: Endless dumb scenes of the two gays, err guys, in bed together in just their underwear isn't my idea of entertainment. This made my eye uncomfortable; the film maker shouldn't confuse horror with homo. Oh, but there was no horror either. Punctuated by unstopping slo mo soft sex scenes with really bad pornograpohy, err photography, this film is only surpassed by porn flicks. But the scenes served their purpose: to make it three times longer. The film. It's so one-eyed, this film. No wonder the HUGE EYE popped out that young gay's head and bulged into some monstrous sex object. This one-eyed monster was more like another ball, not an eyeball. Yes his inner eye became his outer eye some 500 times engorged. But instead of being the Enlightened Giant from beyond it could have been, it was a pissweak pipsqueak that just stood there motionless most the time, staring into vacant space. It must have been blind; it never stopped it. So the cock-eyed thing floats around on its tendril perving on chicks, and feeling them up. What a nerve. The optical effects are a green plasma lamp - a disc one - superimposed in the pupil of the giant plastic. Furtherless, the chicks with stalks don't realise it's a monster. At least if the eye hypnotised them and even instantly, that would be the film's one suspension of disbelievable bit. If this film was aware, there might be plenty of opps for sight gags, and wit. For different situations. But there aren't any situations. Devoid of not just vision, but all senses, this film has no hearing, taste, smell, or touch. How anyone can see anything in this film is beyond dimension. It was cornea as hell. The director is blind. Probly a cyclops, judging by his vision. Oh but that means giant, not one-eyed, though he was certainly that. I could only watch the entire film with one eye. He's got about 12 different names as director. He must be ashamed of himself. Keep an eye out for this film. I could never see this film again, unless I was blind. Or in another dimension.

I think This Movie is Great.....Tuff Tootles to those who think otherwise I am A Big Fan Of Full Moon Pictures,and I don't take them too seriously or write a 100 page essay on how I hate this movie the way some people do...Make Popcorn and invite freinds and have fun watching the fun cheesy movie that is destined to be a cult classic in the near future..Hey It already is..........Don't sit in a dark room room punching yourself in the face saying I hate this Movie,I hate this movie whah...Whah...

This film is really out there. It has some pretty good effects which i wasn't really looking forward too, so, that surprised me for a low budget film. The acting is wellll...lets just say it has its moments..lol. But, the film has some great funny parts thats for sure. If your into comedy/horror than this film is a great pick up for you other than that, its a rental for sure.

This is not to be confused with Roger Corman's tribute to B-films, that's The Phantom Eye. Also don't confuse it with Forrest Tucker's alien invasion movie, that's The Crawling Eye. Nope, this one is a collection of bad actors, sets that don't fit together, a script which confuses the sets, and a giant eyeball on a stalk that has a thing for women.A goofy scientist is trying to view the eighth dimension. His test subject is accidentally infected by something from said dimension. It swells into the giant eye. The eye swarms around an apartment building by using the air vents. Huh? The vents are about four feet by three feet.The scientist has a wife who tries to bed every male in the film (except Weird Bill) as she wants it all the time. Two male bodybuilders who do heavy drugs and hang out in their underwear are one of her targets. They are also a target for the Eye.Anyway, the Eye runs around the building feeling up women and blasting people with green rays. Luckily it is sensitive to light. In the end it is cornered (don't know why it couldn't get away) and flees back to its home dimension.Really bad film. The bodybuilders apartment is a two-story studio with the door on a landing in the top half. The script occasionally calls the lab the attic and the attic the lab. To make it worse, the bodybuilders place has a peaked ceiling with beams (shouldn't that one be at the top?).So we have a film with a bad script, bad acting (I love Weird Bills fake voice), lots of nudity, strange characters, and a monster eye. It's so bad, what's not to like?The DVD has no special features except a small group of trailers for other films. There is not even a scene selection option. At least it does have tracks.
