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

No Less than 5 Stars

***MINOR SPOILER ALERTS FOLLOW***

I'm not sure why anyone would give this lees than 5 stars. I've read the reveiws of those who did, and I just don't see it.

If you know anything about this DVD, it was shot by people in the stands....ummm, therefore: no, this is not professional camera operators. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!!! In fact, there is a point where one of the guys goes to the bathroom and takes the camera with him. Since these are just regular joes, it is a little shakey, but what do you expect?

The edits are a bit quick, but that keeps it interesting (especially the cut to the guys that snuck back stage). I think the added effects to the show make it cool, like how during "Whatcha Want" the colors polarities are reversed just like in the video.

I like the premise of this show, because it gives depth to the audience. In so many live shows when they show the audience, it gives this feeling of some endless mass of people. This DVD actually puts a face to the fans and much of the flavor comes from the folks in the stands. It kind of gives you the feeling that you're sitting next to these people, instead of being some robotic camera hanging from a line.

Actually, this show is less about the Beatie Boys and more about the fans watching their concert.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS: the selling points of this DVD are the same things people are comlaining about. This DVD puts you in the pits, in the dirty stands, and next to the drunks pushing and yelling. Between the intense point of veiw of the bleechers and the safe, steral, robotic veiw from a professional cameraman....I'll take the former any day of the week.
