Awesome-I Shot That! description
Directed by one "Nathanial Hörnblowér" and shot by 50 fans, Awesome is the Beastie Boys live and direct. (The full title includes a four-letter word in its six-letter-plus-apostrophe incarnation.) The place is New York’s Madison Square Garden. The date is October 9, 2004. The show begins with scratching from DJ Mix Master Mike as the amateur operators, armed with Hi-8 cameras, get busy--from the audience, at the concession stands, and even in the bathrooms. Subtitled "An Authorized Bootleg," Awesome features the tracksuit-sporting trio, Mike D, Adrock, and MCA, running through numbers from all six records. (Later, they bust out the pastel tuxes for a pro-shot suite of jazz-funk.) Selections include "Brass Monkey" (Licensed to Ill), "Shake Your Rump" (Paul's Boutique), "Pass the Mic" (Check Your Head), "Sure Shot" (Ill Communication), "Body Movin'" (Hello Nasty), and "Ch-Ch-Check It Out" (To the 5 Boroughs). On stage, they're joined by Keyboard Money Mark, percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, and Doug E. Fresh, "the world's greatest entertainer," who adds a little human beat-box to their rhymes. For viewers concerned about Blair Witch-style vertigo, rest assured that editor Neal Usatin has stitched the shaky footage together skillfully enough to stave it off. Almost as essential as their Criterion Collection Video Anthology, Awesome may be the world's most professional home movie. Nathanial Hörnblowér, incidentally, is the nom de film of MCA, AKA Adam Yauch. --Kathleen C. Fennessy |

♥♥♥♥♥ |
Great concert, but a little bit lacking.
|
Lets start with the good: This is a very cool concert DVD. I love the whole feeling of it, it really feels like "an authorized bootleg" as the Boys have billed it to be. It shows them at their live best. There are some amazing performances on this disc.
Now on to the bad: Although the concept of letting the fans shoot it is very cool and enjoyable, the editing could have used some work. It jumps from shot to shot every few seconds. Also, there are too many weird effects thrown in that give it less of a feeling that you were there. Also, the setlist could have been better. The 3 instrumentals right in the middle of the concert seem to slow it down and make it tedious. They could have used those 3 songs to play some more of their hits, such as Fight For Your Right or Hey Ladies (which are strangely missing from this otherwise-complete setlist).
Overall: This is definetly worth a purchase. |
