PIRATES and BOOTLEGGARS!

I threw this question out to the great minds that read the reviews posted on that musical wasteland known as Amazon. My question was something like "what Reggae/Dancehall DVDs are actually what the box claim they are" Lets face facts here, some concert DVDs are filmed on some drunken fool's cell phone with constant distractions of "hot" chick sitting at the bar. How do you slur a camera? I have thrown money away on few of those. Not my meaning of being burnt! Achis tossed his valueable two cents in but I still ended up a dollar short. So I sailed to illegal internet waters and clicked on download links. One descarga, two descarga, then three descarga till I had my answers. I threw back the stinkers, most I had to hold my nose shut, but I kept a few pearls and my lunch down. Those are the ones that I then used my hard cash to buy outright.



First up is Sizzla's Blazing The Fire. Buy it. See it. Support all involved. Nothing is as good as being front row center, but since I was states away while this concert went down, this is the next best thing.
Sizzla, Anthony B, Yami Bolo, Ras Shiloh and a few others! I can feel the build up of anticpation. I can feel the crowd. The inbetween performance cracks are filled in with face to face interviews, warm ups and general backstage mayhem. Ahh, those performances are the real reason to pickup this release out of sea of imposters. After seeing this, I need to see Anthony B live! The bright clear sound quality sometimes gets overwhelmed but the camera knows where to be. I can easily forgive the PA system. Oh, and Sizzla? He screams, he rants and raves, he sermons and pours his heart and soul into Black Woman and Child. Even the end credits catch fyah! The best Reggae / Dancehall concert DVD I have seen yet. Find yourself a copy. You will not feel ripped off.
