Later With Jools Holland - Louder (DVD 2003)

As 'Later....' is the only live rock show on TV we as viewers are very limited, and often you have to sit through a lot of stuff you don't like to get to one artist you do. This DVD solves the problem for rock fans by compiling tracks from this genre in one handy package ! There are some great performances as you would expect from the likes of the Foos, Screaming Trees, PJ Harvey, BRMC and Mazzy Star. I was also impressed by the likes of Mercury Rev and Soundtrack of Our Lives who I had not heard before but will now look into. The extras (interviews) are good although there could have been a bit more. The only downside is some of the performances by the acts I was most looking forward to are a bit below par (Alice in Chains,Metallica,QOTSA) but still better than most of the dross out there. All in all, highly recommended for any fans of contemporary rock.
