Blue Man Group - Complex Rock Tour Live (DVD)

All Music Guide

The Complex Live DVD is a captivating look at The Blue Man Group's vibrant live performance. Having spent the last decade wowing audiences across the globe with their eccentric theatrics, this particular release captures the group touring in support of their second album, The Complex. Filmed before 9,000 fans during two nights in midAugust 2003 at NextStage Amphitheatre in Grand Prairie, Texas, the rock spectacle that is The Complex Live celebrates The Blue Man Group's rise in popularity and how audiences around the world have embraced their quirky sense of humor and stylish brand of electronic music. The Blue Man Group don't only put on a rock concert, they deliver a total show. It's a raw combination of conceptual art, sound sculpture and vaudeville. They've successfully managed to bring their smallsetting audio/visual mix to a grand stage and pulling off such a task doesn't always work. The Blue Man Group's videos with Dave Matthews ("Sing Along") and Bush's Gavin Rossdale ("The Current") are included as well, making The Complex Live package even more enticing. "Exhibit 13," a stunning tribute to September 11th, is an added bonus.
