Post Description

The Blue Man Group return to their rock concert experience in their latest DVD, captured during their 'How to Be a Megastar 2.0' tour. If you already own 'The Complex' much of this material will be familiar as it nearly the same format as the group's previous rock concert tour. That's not necessarily a bad thing. As in 'The Complex',  'How to Be a Megastar' opens with 'Above', which if you've seen/heard from 'The Complex' you know is simply an amazing song. The concert presentation is exciting, with a screen obscuring the stage and only shadows of the Blue Man projected on the screen as, one by one, each takes to their PVC instruments to begin the melody, with a swirling of images of the band and the Blue Man as the song launches into guitar, drums, keyboards, bass, and percussion in an explosive cresendo. Awesome. The remainder of 'How to Be a Megastar' essentially follows the same progression as 'The Complex' with some new material and new rock conert movements. The premise of the tour is the Blue Men have purchased an 'updated' rock concert experience manual from an infomercial and are incoporating the new material into the show. The band is amazing, as it was before in 'The Complex'. I miss the guest vocals of Tracy Bonham and Annette Strean of Venus Hum. Annette was gorgeous and belted out an exciting cover of 'I Feel Love' in her unique style in 'The Complex' and is replaced on the current tour with a new vocalist. She's fine, but it's hard to follow in the footsteps of Annette and Tracy.

Bonus material includes a music video for 'I Feel Love'; a piece of comedy called 'Mono Makes a Plea - Save the TVs' campaign (bemoaning the switch to digital signals which will effect us all...) and finally, and perhaps most importantly, a documentary called 'Inside the Tube'. It features the founders of Blue Man (Phil Stanton, Chris Wink and Matt Goldman) as they discuss the group, the philosophy of the Blue Man and the evolution of Blue Man from a theatrical presentation to the rock concert experience of 'The Complex'. It's a fascinating insight; Stanton, Wink and Goldman are extremely intelligent and creative individuals with a lot of passion for what they do. 
The DVD also includes a CD version of the concert.
