Gimme Danger

No other band in rock'n'roll history has rivaled The Stooges' combination of heavy primal throb, spiked psychedelia, blues-a-billy grind, complete with succinct angst-ridden lyrics, and a snarling, preening leopard of a frontman who somehow embodies Nijinsky, Bruce Lee, Harpo Marx, and Arthur Rimbaud all rolled into one. There is no precedent for The Stooges, while those inspired by them are now legion. The film will present the context of their emergence musically, culturally, politically, historically, and relate their adventures and misadventures while charting their inspirations and the reasons behind their initial commercial challenges, as well as their long-lasting legacy.

For sure, Dire Straits weren't big name in music videos genre ( i mean, not as Michael Jackson or Queen were in 80's), but this collection has some interesting points. Here i must admit, it's not complete compilation of DS videos. At least "The Bug" video (from "On Every Street" album) is not included (i can't find a reason why). - "Romeo And Juliet" - example of using abstract and in some ways theatrical style in music video, pure geometrical forms, conventional acting of characters. - "Money For Nothing" - DS' biggest hit, one of the earliest music videos ever based in general on computer animation. All figures are made of squares but characters are very expressive. Looks nice even now, 20 years after release. - "Calling Elvis" - good work with puppets using "Thunderbirds" cartoon characters Disappointing thing is no comments or additional information on videos appears in DVD, even no names of persons who directed videos.

Dire Straits are my favorite group, and so I love the music on this tape. But let's be honest, most of the "videos" consist of people pretending to play their instruments. That just gets kind of old for me after a while. If you're going to buy a Straits video, I recommend seeing/hearing Straits in their purest form: live. Alchemy (1984) is my favorite; On the Night (1993) isn't bad.

There is not much to say about Dire Straits and their music. When I received the DVD I really enjoyed it, however poor editing was disappointing. I wish they had retained the original clips, at least that is what I expected to see for "Money for Nothing" instead of some cartoon stuff. They could have added them as extra material like it was in Santana:Supernatural, where you can have the concert and choose to view the very popular songs (e.g Smooth) as a video clip. Also the visual quality can sometimes be low as they are of concerts from long time ago. Yet, Dire Straits is an epic group and I'm glad to have this one in my collection.
