The show hits full stride with Mark Knopfler's exquisite "Brothers in Arms," which segues nicely into "Money for Nothing" with guest vocals by Sting, who then performs two hits from his Police years. And while Elton John and Eric Clapton form the centerpiece of the concert (especially Clapton and Knopfler's acoustic "Layla"), Paul McCartney anchors the show with a spectacular four-song conclusion. Phil Collins's expert drumming is matched throughout by legendary percussionist Ray Kooper, and McCartney's fully orchestrated "Golden Slumbers" is a genuine show-stopper, followed by a "Hey Jude" sing-along with everyone on stage. They all follow McCartney's lead for a rockin' rendition of "Kansas City" (which the Beatles had performed as early as 1960), by which time Music for Montserrat had given its royal audience a show they would never forget. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Music For Montserrat Live - Dolby Digital & DTS
Whow !!! Great !!! How to make a good concert ?
Easy ! You take Mark Knopfler (without Dire Straits but still great), Eric Clapton (and his fabulous guitar and vocals), Phil Collins (with one song and a lot of battery), Sting (wonderfull as usual), Paul Mc Cartney (singing good old songs), Elton John (i don't like him so much but that's ok) and some others (such as the legendary Carl Perkins and his "blue suede shoes").
Tell them to play with each other and you'll get a fantastic "jam session" !
With some moments of real anthology like this FABULOUS "Money for Nothing with Mark Knopfler, Sting, Eric Claton and Phil Collins (at the battery) !!! And they all have fun on stage !!!
Who wants more ?
A must-have DVD for a noble cause !!! Run for it !!!
A MUST Have - good, great and some magical performances
This is a Must Have DVD for any Rock & Roll fan. The list of performers alone should peak your interest. Imagine Mark Knopfler, Sting, Eric Clapton & Phil Collins doing the best rendition of 'Money for Nothing" you have ever heard, then add Ray Cooper's animated percussion, a choir and and an orchestra - WOW! The individual performances are very good, but when the performers team up - it is phenomenal! Other notable selections include Eric, Mark, Phil, Ray and Jools Holland in 'Same Old Blues'; when Paul McCartney, Elton John and everyone else team to do 'Golden Slumbers', 'Hey Jude' and 'Kansas City' it is magical. The video quality and sound are both excellent. Thank goodness this is a DVD, I have experienced this so many times other media wouldn't have any quality left.
Amazing moments but weak start
I'd love to give this 5 stars, but I thought the initial Phil Collins track, the Arrow and Jimmy Buffett tracks could have been eliminated. Phil is stellar on the drums throughout, but he takes his solo appearance on Take Me Home, the first track on the DVD, and hams it up so much he ruins it. Jimmy and Arrow, while not exactly outclassed, just don't seem to have the stage presence of the legends that follow. So I usually start with Carl Perkins (track 3), and then cut to Mark Knopfler (track 5?), then the rest of the show.
That said, there are not less than 3 or 4 literally goose-bump inducing moments when the performances and/or the combined stature and command of these legends just takes over and you have a kind of magic. One is the effortless showmanship of Carl Perkins, wearing blue suede shoes to sing his timeless classic (rather see him do it than Elvis, honestly). The crowd reaction when Knopfler introduces Clapton to play along on Money for Nothing. Then Elton John completely filling the hall with just the piano and his powerful solo vocals on Live Like Horses (an appreciative member of the orchestra sitting behind Elton is seen shaking his head in awe and admiration).
And of course, as others have said, McCartney singing Hey Jude when Elton comes in on the second verse. Chilling. The sing-along with everyone is spectacular. I even thought Ray Cooper was a hoot. I've never seen a guy get so much joyous mileage (or style) out of a tambourine and a pair of sunglasses.
