• Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same | DVD | (15/05/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Bombastic, pretentious and narcissistic, Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same is also one of the best concert films of the 1970s, capturing the greatest rock band of the decade in full flight at Madison Square Gardens in 1973. The notorious "fantasy sequences" punctuate the musical action but don't, fortunately, interrupt it. Playing true to their self-indulgent rock & roll personas, each band member has his own segment, as does legendary larger-than-life manager Peter Grant. Only John Bonham's is reasonably down-to-earth: during his mammoth drum solo ("Moby Dick") he is seen driving his custom car, his Harley chopper, and a drag racer at Santa Pod, as well as inspecting bulls and doing a bit of building work. Well, what else would a working-class lad from Birmingham do with his millions? Elsewhere, John Paul Jones is a demented Phantom of the Opera with an unfeasibly large organ ("No Quarter"); Robert Plant is a quasi-Arthurian knight errant rescuing a suitable rock-chick damsel in distress ("The Song Remains the Same/Rain Song"); while Aleister Crowley acolyte Jimmy Page goes in for sorcery and mysticism as he encounters the wizard from the cover of Led Zep IV ("Dazed & Confused"). But the real magic is the onstage footage: Page wields his Gibson Les Paul as if he is indeed enchanted (the violin bow becomes his magician's wand in "Dazed & Confused"), while Plant preens and prowls his way around the stage, the very image of the rock idol; and quite how Jones and Bonham managed to be such a behemoth of a rhythm section is still a mystery. For all its many faults, this remains an essential document of an era when rock dinosaurs still walked the earth. On the DVD: No extra features to speak of at all, which is extremely disappointing given the wealth of archive material concerning the band and this movie that must be available. The picture and sound are respectable without being exceptional. --Mark Walker

• Dolly Parton - Live And Well | DVD | (23/11/2009) from £17.00   |  Saving you £2.99 (17.59%)   |  RRP £19.99

  This is Dolly's first concert DVD release. The show connects the dots between her return to the rural mountain sound with material from her Grammy-winning acoustic albums - to her commercial hits that helped catapult her to superstardom.Parton and her band ""The Blueniques"" swing with ease from bluegrass to pop-country hits to mountainballads -- punctuated with Parton's autobiographical anecdotes and endearing humour between songs. Her sold-out club and theatre tour elicited not only

• Michael Jackson - Dangerous - The Short Films | DVD | (12/11/2001) from £9.99   |  Saving you £-4.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Clocking in at just under two hours long, Dangerous: The Short Films contains all the videos from Michael Jackson's album of the same name. Whatever your opinion of the man himself, you cannot deny his abilities as one of the world's finest showmen and his videos are never anything less than spectacular. There was a time when the screening of a new Michael Jackson video was a huge global event, drawing in massive global audiences. This had a downside when "Black Or White" was first screened, as the final segment in which Michael morphs backwards and forwards from a panther form and destroys a car, bar and most of a street caused huge controversy due to its perceived endorsement of vandalism. To the compilers' credit, the entire video is included here but with a full explanation of the ending and a warning not to copy it. For the converted this will be a worthy addition to the collection. For the more cynical, this is a fascinating if somewhat uneasy look at one of pop's most enigmatic and bizarre characters. On the DVD: With a wealth of rare behind-the-scenes footage and a selection of rarely seen live performances, such as a lavish rendition of "Heal The World" from the Super Bowl, the DVD certainly packs on the extras. There is also extensive footage from shoots of the video, as well as those of "Remember The Time" and "In The Closet" complete with fascinating insights from co-stars Eddie Murphy and Naomi Campbell. Other extras include Grammy Awards and NAACP Awards highlights which depending on your opinion of the man in question can be seen as either fitting tributes to the King of Pop or nauseatingly over-sentimental sycophantic claptrap. --Helen Marquis

• Queen - On Fire - Live At The Bowl | DVD | (25/10/2004) from £11.52   |  Saving you £8.47 (73.52%)   |  RRP £19.99

  By 1982 Queen were at a peak in terms of touring and recording. They were coming off the back of two of their biggest singles - Another One Bites The Dust and Under Pressure - and by now they were playing more than 60 sell-out concerts a year in the biggest stadiums of the world. Such was the demand on the band to play arenas and stadiums throughout the world that they managed to play only 4 dates in the UK between 1981 - 1983. The M K Bowl concert was one of these...

• Journey - Greatest Hits 1978-1997 | DVD | (26/01/2004) from £5.35   |  Saving you £-1.36 (-34.10%)   |  RRP £3.99

  It will be many years before Journey's music will be known as anything but soupy 70s arena rock and embarrassingly overwrought 80s pop. Journey: Greatest Hits 1978-1997 will do little to hasten the band's salvation. In fact, if it weren't such a gift to those who love the music, a case could be made for suppressing the disc's video content, so unimaginative is most of the directing and so damning is the attire (or lack thereof). But even if sweaty guys running around in tight jeans and no underwear isn't really your thing, the disc has its treats. There's MTV nostalgia, pure and simple--"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)", with its mimed quayside performance and strutting high-heeled model, is perhaps the quintessential "What were they thinking?" video. We also get exciting glimpses of the early band (with keyboardist Gregg Rolie passing the lead-vocal torch to newcomer Steve Perry) kicking out classics such as "Feeling That Way", "Lights" and "Just the Same Way". Many of the songs feature live audio as well as video, and it's here, most notably in "Who's Crying Now" and "Stone in Love", that lead guitarist Neal Schon cuts loose with some extended licks. An unexpected pleasure is 1996's heartfelt ballad "When You Love a Woman". The guys are aging gracefully, Steve Smith's drumming is better than ever, and the video itself boasts the most tasteful production of the bunch. --Michael Mikesell
