5 comments about Music in High Places - Sugar Ray (Live from Australia).

1. (...) This DVD / VHS is very enjoyable and pure entertainment. Watching these guys in the outback was fun. The music was refreshing. I went out and bought all of the Sugar Ray records. Then I found out that Music in high places was going to put this Sugar Ray show on the shelf. This DVD has all the great songs by Sugar Ray. It is the best of anything they have done. You will not be let down.



2. One day I was flipping through the channels and came across this playing. It was halfway through, but I enjoyed what I did see greatly. It made me a Sugar Ray fan immediately! And an obsessive fan of the georgeous Mark McGrath...:)



3. If you like Sugar ray, you've gotta get this video!!! Live from Australia! Songs like "Someday" and "Fly" performed!



4. This DVD covers several fronts...not only does Sugar Ray: Music In High Places provide an exquisite visual and intellectual excursion, taking you across the beautiful Australian landscape and into a bit of the continent's history, but it also offers great acoustic performances from the oft underestimated band Sugar Ray.

   Their music seems to coexist with the sunny beaches and colorful greenery quite well...especially "summer tunes" like Someday, When It's Over, and Fly. Familiar songs, no doubt...but their live performances, truly add another dimension...

   A highly recommended virtual outing, for Sugar Ray fans and general music lovers alike.

   Includes extras such as a "Just the Music" option, Sugar Ray biography, interview, etc.




5. Great DVD! Highly recommended for Sugar Ray fans, mellow music lovers, and...get this: aspiring musicians who desire to sing harmony and/or play bongo drums! I seriously learned both from enjoying this DVD! Being a big Sugar Ray fan, this was a classic, and easily one of the best things the band has done; they play all their hits acoustically against a lush Australian backdrop. You really get to know the band, too, through their often amusing and insightful tour of the Outback. It seems like it would be very fun to hang out with them. I'm ever grateful to Sugar Ray for inspiring me, as one of the first bands I started listening to, and for teaching me how to make music.
   
   Check this out. It's well worth your time and money.
   
   You'll see. And hear.
   
   Sugar Ray rocks!

5 comments about Music in High Places - BBMak (Live in Vietnam).

1. I definately think it is a great video, because you get to see Christian, Mark and Ste just acting "normal". It was fun just to see how crazy those guys are!! They performed songs how they did before they got a record deal, just with one or two guitars. They sound amazing, and they sing about 6 songs including Still On Your Side, Back Here, and Ghost Of You And Me. Plus, need I mention the fact that they show Mark and Ste shirtless?!?! Comeon, that's a reason to get it right there!!



2. This dvd shows why BBMak is heads above other "boy bands" -- for one, these guys can actually sing, and secondly, two of them can actually play guitar. I like the stripped-down versions of their songs here better than on their cd. A nice bonus is that you can watch/listen to just the music performances, skipping the sound effects and tourist commentary in-between songs.

   Oh, the guys are still handsome, too...particularly Christian with his beautiful eyes.

   The dvd features DD 5.1 and DD 2.0 mixes. A minor complaint, but it would have been nice to have had a PCM stereo track.

   The strangest thing about this dvd is Mark wearing a "M*A*S*H 4077" t-shirt during some of their touring. I don't know what his thinking was behind that, but it seems insensitive to me.




3. "Music in High Places - BBMak (Life in Vietnam)" is a nice show showcasing the talents of British band, BBMak in the beautiful country of Vietnam. Not only is the music nice, but it's complimented by the enchanting backdrops of the countryside. The BBMak guys perform everywhere from a forest to a cave. This is definitely great for BBMak fans, but I would also suggest it to others who want to listen to music while looking at some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.



4. I used to be a fan of BBMak when they first got popular in the U.S. but then all of the sudden, the band just kinda disappeared. So I stopped listening to their music until I found out about this DVD. I was interested in the DVD right the way as I am a Vietnamese myself. This is one of my very first purchases on Amazon.com.
   
   First, this is a great DVD for all the BBMak fans. They're truly talented individuals, each of them can really sing. Just 2 guitars and 3 vocals, they have put up a great show. Well, let's talk more about this show. If you're like me expecting a concert crowded with fans, then you would be a little bit disappointed at first when u play the DVD. There're just performances done in serveral locations in Vietnam by BBMak with absolutely nobody around. But just think for a second, this is a "Music In High Places" DVD, so people from there would be like "poor" maybe!? Lots of them wouldn't know much about popular music or just foreign music in general. I doubt that a lot of people from the locations BBMak was shooted knew who BBMak are.
   
   Second, still, this is a great DVD for BBMak fans. Besides being so talented, they're really nice people. I couldn't think anybody would enjoy places like that in Vietnam, especially a so sucessful band like BBMak. But they really appriciated what they were shown to, the history, the people and all. There're a lot of behind the sences, interviews and some of the history about some places in Vietnam. So yeah, all the BBMak fans should have this DVD as well as all the other music fans.
   
   Note: What you see from this DVD is not all how Vietnam is really like. I'm from Hanoi, the capital of the country and it's much different from the places that are shown on this DVD. I would really like people to know how beautiful my city is but it seems like people from other countries are only interested in the poor/nature places, it's kinda sad.
   
   And Gosh, people from there speak much better English than the 2 ladies on the DVD. It is sooooo embarrassing for me to watch the DVD with a friend. I feel bad for BBMak because those two just talked, talked and talked to get their jobs done. They didn't care if it would make any sense...
   
   I would still give this DVD 5 stars because asides from my personal frustrations, this is truly a great DVD. So, go get it, people!



5. I enjoyed the senary of Vietnam, looked hot and humid as I am sure it was ; )
   And the guys in BBMak were pretty good too; they sounded great, played wonderfully, and harmonised super! The only thing that would have made this DVD better would have been more songs, but the 9 or so songs are more than plenty to enjoy! And they are some of the best ones! Perticularly, "Ghost of You and Me" performed in this huge marble cave! The acoustics were amazing! You could just tell while the guys were singing, that they were being blown away by it too. Thus were singing their hearts out!
   A very good hour and 20 minutes watch. I'd recommend this to anyone; BBMak lover or not.

1. I must say it's expensive, production is amateurish, and duplication quality is poor, but it's well-made and heart-warming. There is no West chauvinism I usually find in the products of this kind. Recommended, although a little bit short.



2. After hearing so much about Bhutan, I was disappointed that this was all that the team could come up with. Also, it lacks brightness in general, I don't know if it's the colors or lighting, or what. However, it's not bad considering there's barely anything out there on Bhutan. And I think it's worth the money. If you only had to get one video on Bhutan, though, I'd go for the Living Edens one instead.
