Title: Go rent something else
Review: Let me preface this by saying I love Steve Earle's music but this really is an appalling DVD.No doubt like many others, I was looking forward to this DVD, hearing Steve speak about making this album and it's subsequent reception from the public, the press and the politicians here in the US.What we get is a jumbled collection of live footage (which at times hints at how great a Steve Earle concert can be but generally falls short, especially with the Doctor Who-like effects) and some video that looked like it was shot with a Sony Handycam. I have no reason to suspect otherwise. The film has no thread and completely fails to draw you in. Poor sound, poor footage and poor editing will leave you wondering why you wasted two hours watching this - its not 2 hours long but you keep on rewinding because you can't hear what was said. This DVD is the musical equivalent of someone being given a fine piece of steak and deciding to make a sloppy Joe out of it.
Is the review positive or negative?
