"Actor: Sarah McLachlan"

• Santana - Supernatural - Live | DVD | (18/09/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Like the hit album that inspires its name, Supernatural Live brings journeyman guitarist Carlos Santana back into the mainstream by surrounding him with younger superstars eager to bask in his formidable musical presence. Resuscitating stardom through sheer proximity can translate to forced pairings or superfluous music-making, but credit Santana himself with minimising such missteps: a fusion artist before the term was coined, the erstwhile Mexican street musician long ago extended his technical reach and broadened his stylistic palette by hungrily assimilating different styles of music. Accordingly, he shifts gears easily, whether soloing behind Dave Matthews, trading lines with legendary saxophonist Wayne Shorter, or spicing up a hip-hop excursion with Lauryn Hill. Santana justifiably taps into the late 90s breakout for Latin pop, hardly surprising in light of his early identification with "Latin-rock" via his 1968 recording debut. His early reworking of Tito Puente's classic "Oye Como Va" thus pops up as the set closer, while the concert kicks off with a frenetic, horn-powered "(Da Le) Yaleo", given added spectacle by a swaying corps of female dancers in feathered headgear. Elsewhere, the guitarist hosts a procession of the stars that added their marquee value to the Supernatural album, including Rob Thomas (the massive hit, "Smooth", here performed as a medley with "Dame Tu Amor") and Everlast. But a duet with label colleague Sarah McLachlan on "Angel" yields the concert's only anticlimax--on a ballad built from spare piano and a poignant lyric, Santana's innate taste leaves him little to contribute beyond a delicate tracery of classical guitar. Production values are excellent, with crisp camera work and sound mixing. A special remote camera, mounted on the neck of Santana's guitar, presents his intricate fretwork in nifty close-ups that are wisely held to just a few songs. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com

• Sarah McLachlan - Mirrorball | DVD | (18/03/2000) from £8.33   |  Saving you £-2.34 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  This video companion to the Canadian singer-songwriter's triumphant live album confirms in sight what that recording advanced in sound--Sarah McLachlan and her fine, flexible stage band have evolved into a superb live performing unit, breathing added fire and nuance into McLachlan songs that were already stunning in their original studio versions. Always a strong, charismatic singer, McLachlan now conjures a rare balance of delicacy and power, measured here in performances of signature songs that add a new, more muscular edge matching her band's rock firepower. Thus, "Possession" expands beyond its already sensual promise to touch on truly erotic abandon, while "Building a Mystery" focuses its portrait of a narcissistic poseur with a harder edge and a newly amended, adult lyric that's entirely appropriate. Shot on McLachlan's 1998 headlining tour, the concert captures her in a more theatrical and frankly glamorous (if slightly funky) vein than her fabled Lilith Fair shows: in her floor-length blue gown, sparkling blue mascara, and bare feet, she evokes a more demure, Gen-X cousin to Cabaret's Sally Bowles. On the DVD: With 23 featured songs, Mirrorball on video adds nine tracks not heard on the CD. The audio mixing is generally excellent, providing some hall ambience but retaining a front-array, proscenium placement to instruments. Shot on film, rather than videotape, the concert preserves the stunning, subtle lighting effects of McLachlan's touring production, albeit at slight visual sacrifice in lower-light segments in which the resolution is grainier. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com

• Paul McCartney And Friends - The PETA Concert For Party Animals | DVD | (29/11/2005) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £13.99

  Washington DC-based PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is the most influential organisation of its kind in the US with support across the media and fashion industry. Recorded in New York in 2001, and hosted by the ever-enthusiastic Paul McCartney, this show throws in everything from self-conscious alternative comedy turns to Sarah McLaughlin's musical tribute to the late Linda McCartney--whose championing of animal welfare is reflected in video clips. There's the presentation of the PETA award in her memory to Pamela Anderson-Lee, as well as an amusing interlude featuring the shopping mall antics of veggie turn-on Chris P Carrott. The event ends with a shambolic but enjoyable run-through of hits from the B52s, with a guest spot from Chrissie Hynde, then a breezy rendering of rock & roll standards from McCartney and a backing band of seasoned veterans--including neat guitar work from Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour. Throw in a handful of PETA celebrity promos and you've got a video you're unlikely to play often, but which is a varied and entertaining indication of the support this organisation now enjoys. --Richard Whitehouse
