The entire album was performed live, featuring original album singers and musicians, such as Thijs Van Leer, Fish, Damian Wilson, Edward Reekers, Anneke van Giersbergen, and several special guests including Simone Simons (Epica) and Star Trek's John De Lancie as narrator.

Morrissey - 25 Live
Morrissey - 25 Live
Filmed live during Morrissey’s most intimate gig in decades at the Hollywood High School in Los Angeles on 2 March 2013, this is the first authorised Morrissey film for nine years and marks 25 years of the solo career of one of the world’s most iconic and enigmatic performers. The film opens with fans talking about their unwavering devotion to the singer and the unique appeal of this unusual venue – a striking contrast to the sold out arena concert at the Staples Center on the previous night. Tickets to the concert in the 1,800-seater school auditorium were sold out in 12 seconds and this now legendary concert became Morrissey’s penultimate performance on the US Tour. Featuring many classic tracks from the artist’s prolific repertoire including Meat Is Murder, Everyday Is Like Sunday, Please, Please Please Let Me Get What I Want and The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, Morrissey 25: Live is an unmissable cinema event for fans worldwide.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Dire Straits live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London. Recorded over two nights, 22-23 July 1983, while on the tour for the album Love Over Gold. Song listing: Once Upon a Time in the West; Expresso Love; Romeo and Juliet; Private Investigations; Sultans of Swing; Two Young Lovers; Tunnel of Love; Telegraph Road; Solid Rock; Going Home - Theme from Local Hero.Superb. Excellent music, expertly performed and perfectly captured. There's an artistry to the whole event, from the minutiae of the performances, to the arrangement of the songs, to the song running order. Even the closing track is perfectly chosen!

I went and watched the premier release of this live concert at the cinema on the 6th of May 2010. This was to coincide with the first release on DVD and Blueray. And can I say what an event, apart from the clothing dating the experience, the music was excellent. The remastering of the soundtrack was excellent. I went with my younger brother, and we both commented after it was actually like being in the front row. The 5.1 sound really bought out the feeling of being there, were the voices and cheering on the soundtrack or people behind me in the cinema? One downfall was the lack of advertising for the event, and the lack of crowd. But hey this is a review of the film, and can I again reiterate, it was excellent. I grew up on the cassette, the video and then the CD. Now I have enjoyed it in another form of media, I loved it. The mixing was great, the song choice was great, the seating was great. Good on you Hoyts and whoever else was involved. Again the film was great, and I can't wait to get the DVD.
