Eurythmics: peacetour
Other // Unrated // June 20, 2000
List Price: $24.98 [Buy now and save at Amazon]
"Eurythmics: peacetour" is up there with "Stop Making Sense" as the definitive DVD concert release...perhaps even knocking the Talking Heads from that high perch. The 96 minute concert, recorded on 12/6/99 in London, includes the following songs:
Video: Sharp, vibrant, and colorful, as would be expected from a concert shot less than a year ago. Some bits look exceptionally soft, but this was presumably the way it was originally shot. The widescreen video on "Eurythmics: peacetour" is essentially flawless and is enhanced for widescreen televisions.
Audio: "Eurythmics: peacetour" includes both 2.0 surround and 5.1 mixes, and the 5.1 mix is absolutely breathtaking. Without a doubt, of the close to 200 discs I've watched, this blows the rest away. The 5.1 mix is completely enveloping, making me feel as if I were on the floor with the rest of the crowd. This is a reference-quality disc.
Extras: There are far more supplements on this disc than I would expect from a concert release. First of all, 2 songs ("17 Again" and "Sweet Dreams") feature 3 different angles, along with lyrics, a stills gallery, and a discography. The most notable extra is an hour-long documentary entitled "peacetalk" with interviews and music, including a number of intimate acoustic performances with just Dave and Annie. This documentary would've been worth the price of entry alone; tagging it along with a full-length concert makes this disc a must-have.
Conclusion: Arista has shown a strong commitment to quality DVD releases, and "Eurythmics: peacetour" is just exceptional. Though this disc is unlikely to convert anyone to the band's music, I can't recommend "Eurythmics: peacetour" highly enough. The disc retails for just $24.95.
