not as good as all the hype

A different way of telling a story

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I'm not sure if this the same show I saw but it came out about the same year so I'm doing a short review of it. "Two Centuries Of Boogie," I believe, was the subtitle to the Foghat disc I saw in which most of it was footage from a concert, but there also were some short interviews.I got this because it was labeled under "blues" and I wasn't familiar with the band, so I took a shot. However, it turned out to be more of a hard-rock band than blues. The heavy-metal sound with driving beats wasn't bad, and probably would make a good workout tape. Guitar work dominated the instrumentals.The lead guitarist, Bryan Bassett, I believe, was a big dude and man, he can play! The lead singer (and a guitarist) "Lonesome Dave" Peverett, died a few years back so this concert disc was a tribute to him. In his interview, Dave said his group did a lot of slower material which he personally liked, but concert crowds wanted them to play mainly fast and loud stuff, so that's what you hear. Too bad, because, the last song - which was a video and not part of the concert - was what he was talking about: a very, very good slow song. It's excellent and would have liked to have heard more like it.
