David Byrne: Ride Rise Roar

This doesn't touch Stop Making Sense. The sound it very good but it's the old music talking music talking music talking formula completely screws up the flow - too many taking heads... - duh. You would think that in 2014 they would have figured out how to use the technology but NOOOOOO! I would give it 2.5 stars. I like the concert stuff but as I said it's a documentary about the concert and concepts not a concert film. This sound is the only part of it that it's on the same level as Stop Making Sense. For entertainment value and a concert film Stop Making Sense blows this away. I would only lay the money out if you're a completest and have to see it for yourself. The dancers just make it more the editing more ADD.music talking music talking music talking music talking... o yeah fantastic what a screwed up film Stop Making Sense would have been if it had followed the same formula.

My brother and I loved experiencing this tour at Brisbane's Convention Centre in February 2009. We were sitting right up the back (and to the side). From there the whole show sounded big and beautiful, and the choreography (complimented by excellent lighting) made me 100% aware that I was experiencing pure unique showbusiness - something very special indeed. From the back of the venue this was a show that made use of the whole stage, and almost all of the time.So the wonderful thing about this Blu-ray is that I now have a complete impression of the show - the close-ups I could only imagine, the entertaining background story, and perfect surround sound. I am very happy with the way this film proves the value and integrity of the show, and gives us an insider appreciation of the intricacies involved.I like the comment made by the male dancer about David Byrne aggressively berating a security guard who was trying to confiscate a punter's camera - having already made it clear to the security people that punters could take as many photos as they liked. (The complete opposite of Placebo at the same venue a few years earlier, when Brian Molko spotted the red glow of a camera LED, stopped the show, brought up the house lights and demanded that security eject the poor guy with the camera).David Byrne doesn't ever do a half-arsed job. I strongly recommend "David Byrne: Ride Rise Roar" to anyone who attended this tour - and to anyone who is a fan of his music and art.

I give five stars to David Byrne, the band, and the choreographers and dancers for a great performance. The music and innovative dancing are great. Unfortunately the director/editor didn't choose to show the performance, but decided instead to slice it into 1 second shots from all over the place, so we can rarely ever see what's happening on stage. INFURIATING to try to watch a show edited like this, and it does a great disservice to the dancers and choreographers because we don't get a chance to really see what they are doing like the live audience got to see. So a 5 star show is lowered to a 2 star video, ruined by bad editing.

I like the Talking Heads. I haven't cared for most of David Byrne's solo work, but the Eno collaboration was one of the best albums I've ever heard. I'll be listening to it 10 years from now.This DVD combines the Eno classic with classic Talking Heads. It's great. Here's the setlist:Here's the set list:1. Once in a Lifetime2. Life Is Long3. I Zimbra4. Road To Nowhere5. One Fine Day6. The Great Curve7. My Big Nurse8. Burning Down The House9. Houses In Motion10. Air11. Life During Wartime12. Heaven13. I Feel My Stuff14. Everything That Happens Will Happen TodayNow about the video. I've always liked the tight stage space Byrne's DVDs tend to have. The camera stays close. The dancer's choreography is oddly sensual. That one's hard to explain. Watch and see. You're here for the music anyway.This DVD is great.

I saw this tour live at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, of all places. Simply unforgettable! A wonderful record of a legendary tour/performance. Highly recommended!

Art is very subjective: if you are not a David Byrne fan (I am) or Brian Eno fan (I am), then I can't tell you that you willdig this DVD (you might or you might not). With that caveat:When I had heard David Byrne was touring in 2009 after a collaboration with Brian Eno,I knew that I shouldn't miss that opportunity.The concert did not disappoint. The music/dance combo reminded me of Phish at Clifford Ball (Tweezer), and I was amazed at thechoreography which made the dancers appear to move randomly although there was never a "lull": the dancers always knew what to do.The white wardrobe seemed to give a very relaxed feeling, and blended well with the funky performance (BTW, thanks David, I got tosee you do Crosseyed and Painless two full years before I finally got to see Phish's version. Apparently missing Cities and Xeyed andPainless by a show or two during 1.0 was pretty common for me. The opening you put on that song was very cool).Ride Rise Roar, which was shot very well, definitely gave great insight into the production of this tour. It is very reasonably priced,demonstrates the seamless mixing of two art forms and gives a good balance between older TH/Eno songs and the newer DB/Eno songs.The only detraction: how the heck does Strange Overtones not make it onto the DVD? I'm glad I got to see that live...

Outstanding film.Byrne is terrific and the performances were captivating. The unique blend of music and modern dance made for an audiovisual feast. Concert footage brought you into the performance in ways not possible if attended live. As much as I enjoyed the performances, my favorite parts were the insights into the creative process and glimpses into the performers' off-stage personalities.If you like concert films, you will love Ride, Rise, Roar!

ブルーレイなので問題無く再生できました。内容はバーンのソロ最新作とトーキングヘッズの定番曲を素敵なバックダンサーのダンスと一緒に楽しめる、とても楽しいステージでした。ただ曲間にバーンやスタッフの解説が入るので字幕が入る国内版の方が良かったかも・・・

リージョナル１（米国など）なのでパソコンはコード変更すればみられますが、DVDプレーヤーではみられないかも。要注意です。
