Customer Reviews of The Knack - Live from the Rock 'n' Roll Fun House
Love the Knack, but Not This I was disappointed with this DVD. I could not get past the cheesy production, poor lip-sync and the overall ho hum feeling of this performance. Let me say that I am a big Knack fan from the late 70's and was looking forward to another performance video to add to my collection. I think what the band was trying to do was a send off of the British 60's variety shows such as Ready, Steady Go..and that would explain the bad lip sync. In short, groups used to re-record their songs and then lip to these recordings because of union rules about playing records on television in the 60's in the UK. The problem, is that the modern production takes away from that feeling. Each member playing on a separate ministage limits interaction among the group members. Also, the moderator could have been done away with. Why didn't the band just do a live compliation video of performances? The main problem with the "Fun House" is that there is no fun. The audience looks as if they are on xanax. Comparing this to the Carnegie Hall video...well you really can't so I won't go there.
On the bright side, the song selection is quite good and Doug F's guitars are AMAZING. What is that...a new Epiphone Casino with the Bigsby tailpiece? Yummy. And the Harrison '64 Rick 12 string will jingle jangle you out of your seat, not to mention the (new?) Gretch Tennessean, Yee Haw. How about the Gibson J 160 E, Lennon/Harrison would be proud!
Overall I'd rather have this than not, but I wish that the concept was played out more cleanly and that there were more extras. By the way the discography on the DVD is incomplete, for some reason it omits "Zoom"(!?!).
A Fun DVD for Knack fans
Knack fans are really getting spoilt at the moment, with the band releasing this DVD (also on video), a live CD and their digitally remastered catalogue. This DVD is a fun concept and the band seem to enjoy themselves. It is a very good performance but, like another reviewer, I noted the strange lip-synching (is this meant to be part of the idea of the band performing for a TV show?). Other than this, I have no major complaints. The show has a great selection of Knack songs and we get to see Doug Fieger's acting skills! The DVD has only a few extras (a photo gallery, song list and discography)but overall it is very good value.
Oh My God
Terrific live performance by one of the genuine power-pop finest landmarks. Never be afraid of watching them in 2001, they really look and sound true, surprisingly young and fresh. The playing and singing reach the studio perfection looking effortless. Additional bonus are the astounding Moonesque drummer and the real gem guitar showcase... and almost no pauses between the songs. Essential.
