Review title: 5 stars for the music & extras, 3 for the film direction
Product review: I've been a huge Calexico fan for about three years now, and since I live in Austin, I've been lucky enough to see them at SXSW and ACLFest. So to say I was looking forward to the concert DVD is a serious understatement.In this show, their sound is great, as always. But there's something about the conventional style of direction and the remoteness of the large stage (singer/guitarist Joey Burns normally is MUCH more animated and connects with the audience a lot better) that gives it a "PBS Pledge Week" feel. It seems more like a recital than a rock concert. The only thing that's consistently watchable is drummer John Convertino's amazingly expressive, dynamic technique (it's like he treats the sticks like paintbrushes).The music is awesome and the extras are really nice, so I'll only take one star off. Buy or rent it, but do NOT think it's a good subsitute for seeing them live.
