The Pogues: Live at the Town and Country Club London

Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy

The Pogues playing on St. Patrick's Day in London's Town and Country serves to remind fans why we loved the band and possibly why their breakup was inevitable. A thoroughly sloshed Shane MacGowan mumbles and screams his way through most of their hits to that point in time. Of course, real fans like the mumbling and the screaming. Lots of energy, great guests - The Specials, the late Kirstie MacColl and especially the late great Joe Strummer - who not only gets up on stage for a stirring rendition of London Calling, but serves as a kind of host for the evening as he discusses what made the Pogues so great. The video times in at a paltry 60 minutes which leaves you begging for more, but between the singalong Wild Rover and the silly string silliness of Fiesta, it is a jam-packed entertaining piece of music history. Extras: Completely Pogued - Documentary (55 minutes)

David Byrne: Between The Teeth

David Byrne, David Wild

Bobby Allende, Jonathan Best

"Fortified with a new band, and a bevy of fresh arrangements, Byrne sought to do more than debut virgin material at this show; he was out to recast his entire past. It was the first time the singer offered live versions of sings from his celebrated Talking Heads days since that band stopped touring eight years ago....Some of this material had never before been performed live. Twisting a full continent of sound into an unnameable shape, Byrne's group combines everything from samba and mambo to R&B and pop. Despite a considerable history to live up to, Byrne proved at this show that he has never been better." - New York Daily News. Play List... 1. Well 2. (Nothing But) Flowers 3. Girls On My Mind 4. Something Ain't Right 5. Life During Wartime 6. Women vs Men 7. Hanging Upside Down 8. Lie To Me 9. She's Mad 10. Blind 11. Make Believe Mambo 12. And She Was 13. Buck Naked 14. Road To Nowhere

Tom Zé Astronauta Libertado

Igor Iglesias

Tom Zé, Rita Lee

The enlightened and extra-terrestrial Brazilian genius-multi-instrumentalist flies to Asturias in 2008 to give a music workshop. His journey takes us on another: that of his career, the ostracism with which he would be punished, his perpetual crusade for the materialization of “the idea”, his unique inspiration and incredible sense of humour. All emitted through his words and those of the people that surround him. An authentic pioneer, a free and cosmic spirit.
