Best of Musikladen Reviews

Sweet, but too short
This is a review of the Roxy Music only VHS (The DVD with T-Rex & Roxy was not available when I purchased this). This video is a must-have for fans of early Roxy Music. Eno is rarely seen in footage, but appears in full glam glory in this Musikladen concert. The filming was probably state-of-the-art in 1973 with fun little psychedelic special effects. My main complaint is that it is so short. I would love to find a video with this, plus footage of later concerts, maybe manifesto or something from around the time of country life to compare it to.

Great live Eno-era Roxy Music footage
Roxy Music: BLISTERING early 70's live versions of tunes from the first two Roxy Music albums. Neat to see Eno manipulating Phil Manzanera's "In Every Dreamhome..." guitar solo. A treat for Roxy/Eno fans. Great sound, good video quality. Amazing how boring these guys grew to be in later years -- they had so much energy back then! The very last Roxy track is from an Enoless, Jobson/Weton, version of the band. Not as great as the Eno era, but worthwhile.

T-Rex: Unlike the Roxy material which is all live and contains no overdubs, these segments from various appearances on Musikladen combine a live T-Rex take with extra lead guitar and vocal overdubs by Marc Bolan. Also unlike the Roxy material, the T-Rex segments have psychedelic blue screen effects throughout the songs which are kind of neat and appropriate for the time, but also a little distracting. Still, I like the T-Rex songs and the sound quality is excellent. T-Rex weren't really big in the US so its kind of a treat to see and hear something besides "Bang a Gong". Long live glam! This is a very cool, offbeat, DVD.
