Classic Performances. leaves you thirsty for more Tea.,
By
This review is from: Tea Party Live: Intimate and I (DVD)
This DVD is a compilation of 2 performances for Much Music (you know that channel that used to play music videos), one 8-song set from '98 and a shorter 3-song set from 2000, and an interview from the '98 appearance. All the music is availiable in 5.1 Dolby (sorry no DTS) but the Dolby sounds great.I've only really watched the '98 set so far. It's a mix of their first three albums but leaning more heavily on Transmission and Edges of Twilight. This is amazing from "Army Ants" to "Psychopomp". I saw these guys just once on their last tour, they are one of the most pro live acts I've ever seen; for a trio, they do it all (and make it look effortless). I won't talk about how good it all is, if you're a Tea Party fan, you just need to get this. My only gripe here is about "Save Me". While the performance we do get is fantastic (Martin's vocals are top-notch, Burrows' drumming is the classic familiar amazing drumbeat that trips the listener into a trance and the Tabla ensemble compliments the whole piece), Stuart here is playing the Sitar. The sitar is somewhat complimenting too but he ends up trading the Sitar in for his amazing bassline (which was absolutely integral to the album version of the song and anchored the whole thing down). I really miss Stuarts' bass line and (maybe even moreso) Jeff Martin's Bow-playing. Those two elements were, again, absolutley integral. Anyways, Like I said this are two brief sets leave us hungry for another Live DVD (would be cool to have one of their long Aussie sets from 2001 or 2002, whatever it was) where we would hopefully have the bowed-guitar version of "Save Me". Better yet, these guys could regroup to "Save" us all with great live performances (sorry bad pun). I'm giving it 4 1/2 stars due to the version of "Save Me".

As a Tea Party admirer I never get tired of what comes next. When the Tea Part puts out a DVD they set out to please. You feel like part of the audience when you are watching this DVD. A MUST HAVE!

Awesome,
By D. Bruce - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tea Party Live: Intimate and I (DVD)
Any Tea Party fan will know how great this band was live. This DVD definitely captures that greatness.In my opinion the Tea Party's most creative and darkest period were the years when "Edges of Twilight" & "Transmission" were recorded. This live performance has a nice little selection of songs from both these albums. The opening track `Army Ants' really sets the scene. I have heard the studio version of this song over 100 times, but nothing prepared me for the sonically charged sound that comes from Jeff Martin's guitar in the introduction. There are also some good bonus performances and interviews. Highly recommended purchase 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Great intimate show.,
By Deimos "." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tea Party Live: Intimate and I (DVD)
Great set of live songs performed to perfection. For a glimpse of The Tea Party in their element here it is, you wont be sorry. This is when Much music actually had talented guests perform on their show live.
