CD Reviews

Very, very interesting and impressive

"This is another surprise, following the Going to California Vcd from Tears for Fears that i got at CDnow only recently. It is a documentary from 1985: footage from a may'85 gig from their Big Chair tour, video's from the BC-singles, interviews with Roland, Curt and Ian. It gives a very interesting picture of who they were at the time, how they were like as a live band in those days, and background information of what some of the songs are about, how they were written, and their early history as a band. It's interesting to sort of 'meet' with them this way. Back in early '85, i considered myself too young to get to concerts (or i did not have the pocket money and transportation means). Apart from charting video's and listening to their records, my only reference were interviews with those guys in teeny-pop magazines, where mainly Curt was in the picture. I always thought that Roland was a shy, withdrawn sort of a guy; but in this video, he actually turns out to be a very funny, intelligent, highly talented musician, articulate and like a guy-next-door - humble and without any high ego-trouble.

This is not a full integral concert video (which is why i rated it 4-stars in stead of 5), but it does give a good idea about their live sound: with much finesse and control. It makes you wonder what took them so long after the BC tour, to come up -not before 1989- with Seeds of Love.."
