The Poodles first DVD In the Flesh, is a tale of two, maybe three, film episodes
(depending on how you count). First, there's the 'rockumentary' where
you get an inside and quite candid look into the lives of all four
Poodles, with concert footage interspersed as segues to the biography.
The band members discuss diverse subjects including the band's origins,
their discouragement of drug use, and how their songs reach many
generations. The Poodles are quite the phenom in their own country. This
portion is enlightening, but somewhat difficult if you were looking
strictly for a Poodles live show.
The second part is the concert film itself where you can watch and enjoy
The Poodles in a representative 12 song performance from the 2009 Clash
of the Elements tour. Though the show starts with good, but not
necessarily rousing, songs Too Much of Everything and Caroline (a bit
more rousing), The Poodles deliver the favorites as the show moves
along: Metal Will Stand Tall, Echoes of the Past, I Rule the Night, and
Night of Passion.
The boys are glamorous, outrageous (vocalist Jakob Samuel is
particularly stylish with his stud metal cod piece), and quite
formidable in performance and stage presence. Even better, they look
like they're having an equally good time as their audience; this simply
adds to the energy and authenticity of the show.
Can't get to a Poodles concert? Living in America, I doubt that I ever
will. Therefore the concert footage of In the Flesh is quite satisfying,
and better than the simple audio of the No Quarter CD.
The third part, if you're still counting, is some additional 'behind the
scenes' footage and videos promoting Clash of the Elements.
These three elements make In the Flesh a distinguished and entertaining
representation of The Poodles' music in a personal and professional
context. Additionally, veteran director Steve Ravic seamlessly blends
the authenticity of personal reflection with the glamour and grit of The
Poodles live in a very artistic, sometimes even extravagant, style. I'm
hardly a film critic, but the cinematography of In the Flesh is rather
impressive.
While In the Flesh is delightful video treatise of the life and times of
The Poodles, I would offer a simple suggestion when viewing this DVD.
If your heart was set on seeing The Poodles 'live and in concert,' even
if on video, I recommend you select the full concert video first
(select: live only). Reserve the lengthy, sometimes tedious, documentary
for another time. You may become dissuaded of the validity of my
aforementioned praise.
