The Stranglers have always been my favourite band since the mid 70s. I fell out of interest after Hugh left and didn't see them again until recently. I had heard that Paul Roberts singing didn't suit the band, but that Baz Warnes did. I thought, with open mind, I would get this DVD to listen to make my own mind up. The string section was great, the original 3 members of the band were great. Paul Roberts really didn't suit the music of the band and spoiled what could have been a great concert. Thank goodness he's gone now. If you like the Stranglers and want it to stay that way do not listen or watch this DVD, it's like a Karaoke singer or pub singer wrecking the songs.
a band from the punk era, who were always superior musically to comparable punk bands, and evolved to a good pop and rock band. This is a great concert featuring all their classic hits, and later stuff from more recent albums. A good retrospective selection and introduction to an evolving band with a distinct sound.
All the Hits..Paul Roberts in top form, JJ manages to look menacing even in a Suit!! Jet Black..a Legend. Dave always eccentric & John Ellis rock solid. The Electra Strings quite superb and not bad to look at either!!!! This is the Stranglers off the wall..with strings!! for anyone who never made it to the gig you MUST buy this...its History.
