Pretty Much What I Expected
This is an enjoyable 1 hour documentary that I found fairly interesting to watch the first time after it aired on television. When I just watched it again in the dvd release I realized that it is seriously lacking as any kind of document of Bruce Cockburn's life and career. As a document of this one solo tour in 2008 it gets the job done I suppose.
Bruce's amazing musicianship and songwriting skills do of course come through in the songs he plays - some snippets and some full length songs. Although I did find the concert footage a bit sterile. I could tell that an audience was present but they are not shown and there is no interaction by Bruce with them. At any of the dozen Bruce shows I've been to(and the many live recordings I've heard) there is a palpable connection between audience and performer. A real love for Bruce that is manifest by the audience laughing at any mildly witty thing he says and even people unable to restrain themselves from shouting out song requests...
Very enjoyable hour with Bruce
There is not a lot out there beyond Bruce's albums so when I saw this I had to have it .ive seen him live twice in 1987 and this past march and I really enjoy anything he does . I always feel better after hearing him sing play guitar or just talk
Must have...
Unless you are fortunate enough to have an extended visit with Mr. Cockburn, this documentary is your opportunity to turn the photograph over and read the writing on the back.
If Cockburn's music resonates in your spirit, get this DVD. You won't be disappointed.
