Best concert films: From Stop Making Sense to Homecoming - Evening Standard

Posted: 15 Apr 2020 02:53 AM PDT

The prospect of huddling among the sweaty masses at a gig is, sadly, a distant dream right now. Harry Styles at the O2, The Who at Wembley, both gone, and that's before you mention the festivals.

We eagerly await the day venues reopen, but until then, concert films are a welcome reminder of the joy a good gig can bring. They offer a fresh perspective on our favourite artists, capturing candid moments, delving into the unseen mechanics of live music, and immortalising some of the greatest ever on-stage performances.

So, until those IRL gigs return, settle in and enjoy the next best thing.

Stop Making Sense (1984)

Some consider this the best concert film ever, and it's hard to argue otherwise. Stop Making Sense is part rock concert, part theatre performance, part arthouse cinema, masterfully directed by the Oscar-winning Jonathan Demme, whose cameras are all-seeing but never intrusive. They catch frontman David Byrne's eccentric sparks, and steal glances at genuinely joyful moments shared by his Talking Heads bandmates. It's all choreographed to a tee, with the stage building gradually around Byrne as other musicians emerge one by one. Still, it would fall flat were it not for the brilliance of the band. It's hard to describe just how wondrously good Talking Heads are here — the vigour of Life Of During Wartime, the flooring romance of This Must Be The Place — but, luckily, we don't have to. The film captures all that and more.

Homecoming (2019)

Homecoming is Beyoncé's grandest, greatest statement. Across 137 minutes, we see each of her sides: the human, the superhuman, and the leader both political and artistic. The film covers her two nights headlining Coachella and the eight months of fervid preparation that preceded it. We're let into Beyoncé's creative process, as she obsesses over both minute details and the overarching message of the show. She was the first black woman to top the bill at the festival, and quotes from black cultural icons such as Nina Simone and Toni Morrison intersperse the masterfully edited footage. The 200-strong crew of performers, handpicked by Beyoncé from historically black colleges and universities, are captured in all their explosive energy. But it's Queen Bey who remains the magnetic focal point, as shots of the utterly enraptured crowd remind us.

The Last Waltz (1978)

Canadian-American rockers The Band clearly had friends in high places, and when they came together to play this farewell gig in San Francisco, they called in a few favours — Bob Dylan, Ronnie Wood, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Neil Young, Muddy Waters, Neil Diamond and more all turned up. They even enlisted Martin Scorsese, who shot the whole thing with typical elegance. There's a feeling of celebration from the off, with Scorsese deciding to place footage of the encore as his first scene. Despite its star-studded cast, there are some moments of endearing fallibility here, such as when Eric Clapton suffers a malfunctioning guitar strap midway through a solo. Above all, though, it's a chance to reminisce on a rare gathering of some of the 20th century's greatest musicians.

Madstock! (1992)

On the evening of August 8, 1992, tower blocks in north London began to shake. Residents panicked; police received reports of shattered windows. Could it be an earthquake? Alas, this wasn't a quiver from the little known Islington-Haringey fault line — it was a Madness gig in Finsbury Park. The theory goes that, as the ska band launched into a song, the audience ("35,000 slightly overweight blokes", as frontman Suggs later put it) all jumped at once. The impact as they landed resonated through the London Basin below the park, causing the ground to shake for miles around. Watching the footage now, it all makes sense. As the opening thud of One Step Beyond kicks in, the crowd begins to skank en masse, and the seismic energy barely dips throughout the set. The film is a heartening reminder of the weird, brilliant things that can happen once we're all allowed back within an arm's length of each other — with apologies to the neighbours.

Nirvana: Live at Reading (2009)

Many point to Nirvana's MTV Unplugged set or Live at the Paramount as the band's greatest moment caught on film, but there's a transfixing recklessness to Live at Reading that makes it essential viewing. Captured in 1992 as they headlined the English festival, it was the last time Nirvana would ever play here. Rumours swirled prior to the show — supposedly the band was about to crumble under the weight of Kurt Cobain's addictions. The frontman responded with a smirk, arriving on stage in a wheelchair and dressed in a hospital gown. He stood, collapsed theatrically, got back up, and then launched into an excoriating 25-song set. This was Nirvana at their hulking best — Cobain's insolence is thrilling, and Dave Grohl is Herculean on drums. It's all captured with minimal production, left gloriously raw.

Awesome; I F***in' Shot That! (2006)

In the lead up to the Beastie Boys' sold-out homecoming concert at Madison Square Garden in 2004, the band handed out 50 camcorders to friends and fans with tickets to the show. The instructions were simple: film everything and give us the camcorders back afterwards. Footage from each device was then stitched together for a raucous, lo-fi thrill ride of a film. It's a choppy watch — anyone prone to seasickness should steer clear — but there are some humorous gems among the carnage. At one point, a fan documents a toilet break during an extended instrumental jam, and at another the camera zooms in on an unwitting Ben Stiller as he mouths along to the lyrics. In a peculiar twist of luck, one filmer even picks out what seems to be a young, pre-fame Donald Glover enjoying himself in the crowd.

Soul Power (2008)

In 1974, the city of Kinshasa in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) was gearing up to host the Rumble in the Jungle. The heavyweight bout between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman was to be accompanied by a music festival but, a week before the fight, Foreman injured his eye, postponing the match. The festival, known as Zaire 74, had to proceed as planned, and is the subject of this vivid documentary. It's fascinatingly candid, with snippets of Ali discussing the racial politics of the day, but best of all is, of course, the music. James Brown is the iridescent showman, Bill Withers is supremely understated, and BB King delivers lick after devastating lick. The concert was almost forgotten in the shadow of the boxing match, which took place five weeks later, but Soul Power brings it back into the light it deserves.

YouTube

Björk: Biophilia Live (2014)

Biophilia Live is superb not because it is a film of a great concert, but rather because it makes the most of being a film. It's a psychedelic trip, layering footage of Björk's 2013 gig at Alexandra Palace with post-production visuals of twitching starfish, underwater tendrils and microbial waltzes. It makes for an immersive watch, and were it not for the occasional cheer from the crowd, you might easily forget that this is a concert at all. Still, there is plenty to enjoy in the musical side of things, from the excellent 24-strong female voice choir to the innovative on-stage instruments, many of which were invented just for the album.

Britney Spears | Britney Spears inspired by Beyonce - Contactmusic.com

Posted: 15 Apr 2020 03:04 AM PDT

Britney Spears is taking inspiration from Beyonce.

The 'Toxic' singer has again urged her Instagram followers to stop being ''mean'' to her for posting multiple similar photos on her account as she is just showing how much her own self-worth has improved.

Referencing the former Destiny's Child star's song 'Flawless', Britney wrote: ''It's getting more official each day ..... the bright enlightening patterns of self love.

''If you don't believe me just look at what God is demonstrating for us to do each day for ourselves ..... self care and knowing our worth as individuals!!!!!!!

''Learning to love You sometimes is the hardest thing to do ... and do you know how I show that ???? By posting whatever the heck I want !!!!

''If I want to post a picture with the same outfit three times ... I will do so and take note from @Beyonce because I am FLAWLESS !!!!

''But seriously .... keep your mean comments to yourselves.(sic)''

Britney's post was accompanied by a quote by Osho about self-acceptance.

It read: ''Accept yourself as you are. And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against your training, education, your culture. From the very beginning you have been told how you should be. Nobody has ever told you that you are good as you are.''

The 38-year-old star - who has sons Sean, 14, and Jayden, 13, with ex-husband Kevin Federline - admitted last month she had been left ''hurt'' by people criticising her decision to share multiple photos of herself in a white swimsuit.

She wrote: ''I've read a lot of things online of people criticizing my posts .... saying I post the same 15 pictures with the same red background and wearing the same white bathing suit.

''For me I get really excited about my posts .... and I like to share them with you all!!!! I've never owned a white bathing suit before and I simply liked the red background!!!!

''Reading all of the mean comments really hurts my feelings .... and I wanted to share because you really shouldn't be saying all of these mean things to someone you don't even know .... this goes for bullying anyone really!!!!!!(sic)''

Britney urged people to be kinder amid the coronavirus pandemic.

She continued: ''Hard times like we are currently living through should really teach us to be nice to one another .... !!!!!!

''PS I saw some people were offended by me posting about horses yesterday .... I am truly sorry if I offended anyone. I think it's important to see things that bring happiness during hard times and making light of a situation can sometimes help people!!!! I love you all .... stay safe .... and be nice!!!!!(sic)''
