Finally, a Piano Guys concert on DVD
I finally get an opportunity to review a Piano Guys concert! There are, obviously, some differences between a music video/mp3 versus a live performance. One of the things I love about a live Piano Guys show is the banter between Jon and Steven. Now, this DVD doesnt have a great deal of this banter, but there's enough there to get a good feel for what it's like to see them live.
One thing that may confuse people who follow TPG, is the fifth performer in the song What Makes You Beautiful. Tel Stewart was a member of The Piano Guys and still helps make their music videos, but he is no longer "officially" one of The Piano Guys.
This concert lasted about 3.5 hours from start to finish, but that's mostly because some songs had to be done several times to get the sound and video just right. The DVD runs about an hour and fifteen minutes if you include the three bonus songs. The Piano Guys like to loop audio tracks, so a song with only one cellist has 8 cellos all playing...
Amazing-as always!
Absolutely fantastic! This was a fun one to watch! Most of the songs included are from their first CD, and it was tastefully put together, they had a wonderful twist with "over the rainbow/simple gifts"-which is my FAVORITE, where a childrens choir sings in a "moving musical movement" for lack of a better term for us non-musical people who don't know the lingo! :) My children aren't allowed to watch television regularly, but when they do they request The Piano Guys. My three year old LOVES them and listens to them almost during every waking moment-seriously. He ONLY chooses this DVD or the DVD from the deluxe edition sets of their second CD and Christmas CD. It used to be Bob the Builder, now it's The Piano Guys-and you'll find me watching it with him! Just to mention, this DVD is mostly songs, not as much "banter" as I would have liked-guess I'll have to go to a real concert for that!
Great Sound
They did an excellent job on this. The sound detail you can hear makes it worth having this. I hope they release the DVDs version of Beethoven's 5 Secrets on mp3.
