Customer Reviews of Bauhaus: Gotham
immaculate form a powerful, gorgeous collection of sound and vision that captures a fine band that has gotten quite extraordinary with time (and to think that they basically threw this together after many years of divergent roads)! For youngsters who want to delve into the magic of "goth" and old timers who were there at the beginning and want to re-live the magic, it is all here in stunning form.
The creators of this DVD pick up on the mystery of Bauhaus playing a city of great mystery. The deft use of light, perspective and silence enhance the effects. The corridors of Gotham emanate the energy of this band's presence. The joy that emerges from so much depth becomes palpable as the viewer is drawn into the profundity of 4 musicians who started a musical upheaval.
Peter Murphy and gang deliver an immaculate performance that always gets new!!
Shine on you crazy diamonds.
Excellent concert...dissappointing sound.
I saw Bauhaus twice on this tour, once during their 4 show run at the Palladium in Hollywood, and again during their U.S. tour. I remember how much I enjoyed the shows, how cohesive they sounded together, how much they enjoyed playing together. A dream come true, to see a band that was already 'mythical' and 'legedary' by the time I first heard "bela legosi's dead" in high school in 1985.
All of these elements come through again on this DVD, but I must say I way disappointed with the sound. It sounds like it was recorded by from the back of the arena as opposed to "sound board" quality. Maybe this was intentional, to give a "Press the Eject" rawness to the show? With such a clear picture, why would this be released with less that perfect sound?
It could have been a longer show as well, clocking in at only 64 minutes. The ommision of Terror Couple Kill Colonel and Silent Hedges, as well as Severance from this concert that were included on the CD version doesn't make sense. It would have been nice to have versions of Hair of the Dog and Rose Garden Funeral of Sores as well.
Other performance notes, Peter Murphy on guitar gave All We Ever Wanted a magical quality, complete with clips from the bands early days. Some nice "acoustic" treatment with Daniel Ash on 12 string guitar and Kevin Haskins on keyboards. Danny's killer goth-jazz sax playing too. David J's fretless bass was unfortunately drowned out in the poor mix.
Performance: 5 stars Sound: 4 stars
