Description
First of all, I'd like to state quite categorically that I am a big fan of James Blunt so it is quite hard to write an objective review of this (for me) essential purchase. Having said that I give the album four stars rather than five...The first disc is a DVD recording of an excellent set recorded for the BBC. When I saw the broadcast, there were interviews with James between the songs which are mercifully absent here so you get the whole show uninterrupted complete with tracks that were not originally broadcast. The songs are great reproductions of the now famous album tracks complete withmore… orchestral accompaniment on some songs and some nice guitar and keyboard licks spacing out songs such as 'So long Jimmy'. Highlights for me are undoubtably 'High', 'Tears and rain', 'Goodbye my lover' and 'You're beautiful'. Also on disc one are all the videos for the single releases plus some short films showing the making of and some interviews. There are two videos for 'High' of which I prefer the first, shot on Tenerife near Mount Teide featuring James buried in the sand up to his head with some surreal characters appearing. The video for 'You're beautiful' where James jumps into the water from a great height is a classic understated, but dramatic interpretation of a definitive song for the year 2005.Disc two features an audio concert recorded in Ireland and it's here that the set disappoints a little. Some of the songs are given a stripped down treatment such as 'High' and 'Tears and rain' and for me lack the power of the originals or the versions featured on the BBC DVD on Disc one. Plus points are tracks not on the 'Back to Bedlam' album but previously released as b-sides. These are 'Sugar coated', 'Fall at your feet' and the tremendous finale 'Where is my mind ?' with its Coldplay like chorus. This song provides a fitting climax to the show and is also on the live DVD.The packaging is adequate without being spectacular and I think in summary the release was an inevitable outcome following the huge success of 'Back to Bedlam' and 'You're beautiful' and will satisfy most fans clamouring for more product from James Blunt in the space before the inevitable follow up album. So load disc one into your DVD player, crank up the volume and enjoy a flawless performance of some great songs.
