Re: Delta Heavy DVD

I'm sure there's no way in hell they could have gotten clearance for
90% of what they actually spun.

And THAT is probably why it's not an actual concert. Hell being that those concerts were in 02. How many of those record labels have gone out of business by now. That's one BIG clearance issue.

Yep it does show Pigweed diving of the stage but later in the tour perhaps Austin. Sasha talks about his 'new' Album, 'Airdrawndagger' this feels like a decades ago now, by comparison 'Heaven Sent' sound just as good as did 6 years ago.
On the subject of tracks, I am sure they would have had clearance for many tracks actually played but would bet they didn't want to pay royalties, you can get between ?500 and ?700 GBP for a track if you get it onto a GU compilation. One interesting bit is a Miami boat party which looks like a who's who of dance music.
Looking forward to other comments on this DVD particularly form anyone who actually went to any of those shows.

Re: Delta Heavy DVD

I wasn't at any of the dates and I thought it was dope. The editing was kinda wack, it seemed really thrown together, golden arm was played far too many times, and it was a little shorter than I would have hoped but all and all it was cool to watch. There are some funny bits in there as well. The interviews are good, especially jimmy van m. He definitely left me wondering where the fuck he's been the past almost 4 years. I guess I didn't realize he was the brains behind the whole thing. I'm intriqued as to what if anything he has brewing right now.

Re: Delta Heavy DVD

yeah van m is very talented

Re: Delta Heavy DVD

Well, Well said DVD dropped through my door yesterday!
Managed to watch it last night. The main part of the DVD is a documentary/diary of the 2002 US tour. Clips of tracks feature as a backdrop to the dialog but appear to be dubbed on later in production. Other features include the original visuals used on the tour. The tour starts in Miami as we all know as it was famously broadcast on Radio 1, what is striking is how empty and lacking atmosphere the Arena was. Later shows at Atlanta and others look by comparison to have been rammed and absolutely going off. There's an insight for those who don't know them, deeper into the two very different characters of Sasha and John. Footage from the tour bus and behind the scenes makes up pretty much the rest. The pair both seem to be using almost exclusively vinyl and acetates, this is only 3 years ago oh how thing have changed.
Well produced and certainly worth getting hold of to watch once or twice, however whether this is long awaited nemesis that was anticipated by many? I'm sure everyone will have there own opinion.

nothing has been said more true. very very nice write up.

Re: Delta Heavy DVD

watched, hated it for the fact they didn't cover NYC / DC, hated it that they were interviewing bus drivers rather than putting on at least 5 - 10 minutes of the best nights they had, hated it that they had so much fucking talking about a CLUBBING tour rather than have the best music of the time playing in the foreground (as opposed to being voiced over by someones chatter),

dont think I'll be watching this again.....
