For one thing, the Hanson brothers are real musicians; augmented by a bass player and second guitarist and keyboardist, they offer ample evidence in the course of this 12-song concert that they can both play and sing (especially Taylor, who handles the lion's share of the lead vocals) like seasoned rock & roll pros. And while their self-penned songs may not exactly change the world, Hanson has a knack for filling them with irresistible hooks, from the opening "You Never Know" through "MMMBop," the hit that started it all, and other, more recent numbers like "If Only" and "Next Time Around" (entertaining videos for the latter two are principal among the DVD's bonus features). They also throw in a cover of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride," a nod to the '60s that shows that Hanson was fully aware of the Fillmore legacy. It all makes for a righteously groovy experience, dudes. --Sam Graham

Customer Reviews of Hanson - At the Fillmore
Brillant, absolutely Brillant! This is perhaps the best you can get to besides actually being at a Hanson concert, I've been to one and it's very realistic and up close like you've just sat down to see them. It is very good, extremely energetic and absolute amazing! Isaac, Taylor and Zac have done good in the past, but this is absolutely great. They really out did themselfs this time. Doing oldies such as the "Magic Carpet Ride" just adds to the excitment, and Taylor does a splended job on the Piano, and Isaac on the guitar and Zac on the drums. It's especially good on the half acoustic sets like "Lovesong and Hand in Hand", they do a excellent job, and I recommend anyone who wants this DVD or VHS to get it, because it is well worth the money and wait to get it! Hanson at the Filmore is perhaps the best concert they've done, that they've actually taped. Great tape, and perfect concert, very fun to watch and makes you want to get up and dance and clap with them. So if your a true Hanson Fan or Collector, this would be a excellent addition to your Hanson collection....
"Are you guys ready to rock?"
So begins Taylor Hanson as they go into the rocker "Runaway Run." If anyone missed Hanson's This Time Around Tour 2000, this might just make up for part of it. They only play 12 songs and they usually perform about 25 live, but this will still brighten up anyones day.
I personally love watching live performances on TV, but lately I have been disappointed at the lack of true music performed. Many "musicians" now lipsync and don't play their own instruments or have their voices digitalized in the backround. It was a breath of fresh air to see this video and see these talented brothers play. Runaway Run and Thinking of You are great rockers in the beginning. Then they come into their accoustic set. This is my favorite part when they play "Love Song" and "Hand in Hand." Those 2 songs (however great on the album) are amazing live. Isaac's voice is superb live and it is great that he finally gets to showcase it.
Then of course they play their hit singles "This Time Around," "If Only," and "Mmmbop." This version of Mmmbop is probably their best to date and much more mature sounding than the original. This Time Around and If Only are great, especially with Taylor playing harmonica on If Only.
The only lacking part of the video/DVD is that there are no backstage clips or behind the scenes stuff like they had on their previous videos. However, the portion that is there is great!
Hanson rocking the Fillmore
I was actually in attendance at this concert, in addition to owning the DVD. I've seen hundreds of bands live, and Hanson has been the most intense. The passion they exert while playing their music is breathtaking, even though at the show itself it was kind of hard for me to get a great view of them playing since I was being squished in between screaming girls.
Hanson's three part harmony over their catchy and mostly upbeat pop-rock music (which they wrote themselves) is so much more real than all the other pop that was coming out at around this time.
The only problem I have with this DVD is how they keep cutting to the really young girls singing along to the songs and making fools of themselves... I remember the girls around me looking much older than those girls, and I really could have done without those shots included constantly. Hanson themselves should have been the sole focus.
Hanson are born musicians, great songwriters, and I wish people would take them seriously instead of associating them with MMMBop because they have matured and really have great talent to offer the world.
