Review - Product Description :
Studio: Uni Dist Corp (music) Release Date: 04/26/2004Review - Amazon.com :
A paradox: The multi-platinum wonderboys of Rascal Flatts catch up with meteoric chart success on Rascal Flatts Live while nudging beyond limits imposed by it. Sudden success can be constraining, and the Daytona Beach-based Live finds guitarist Joe Don Rooney and cousins Jay DeMarcus and Gary Levox--the band's multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, respectively--occasionally (okay, very occasionally) indulging musical passions beyond the slick-and-safe country pop and frothy love-anthems that have endeared them (as a supporting act) to Alan Jackson and Toby Keith's audiences. Among other things, the trio sounds fit to burst with gospel, as suggested by DeMarcus's cameo role as vocalist on a cover of "Lean on Me." (Um, do these guys know he's a better singer than Levox?) There's even a detectable groove on "Prayin' for Daylight," and the group's blowout encore, a cover of Boston's "Long Time," suggests a healthy restlessness within Rascal Flatts' ranks. --Tom KeoghCustomer review - 2004-09-06
- Almost like being there!After always having skipped Rascal Flatts for fear of another boy-group in country disguise I recently had the pleasure to see them open for Kenny Chesney and to mildly put it: I was more than impressed!!! I think they almost stole the show with a tight set, that had everything from their hits to ballads to jamming instrumentals to punchy rock'n'noll!
So I decided to get a shot at this CD, which I then found out it is actually a DVD with a full concert ("Melt on the Beach") and an accompanying CD. This is a Live-DVD like no other in country music; matter of fact I guess there is only a hand full of big production concert DVDs (if any at all) available. "Melt on the Beach" has great camera shots, even better music and a wonderful live feel to it. It makes you want to go out and go to their next concert right away.
The CD (although short) holds an excellent live version of "One Good Love" that drags out with playful instrumentals which you rarely get to hear in country music plus the audio version of some tracks from the DVD.
A one-of-a-kind great package that will get you dancing!
P.S.1: I don't understand why there are no other country DVD offerings available like that, when they are all over the place in pop music. Just thinking that none of the great Garth Brooks concerts or videos is available on DVD makes me wonder. Making a concert special definitely is expensive, but packaging existing videos shouldnt be that much of a deal (not one of the great Reba videos is available on DVD to my knowledge)!?
P.S.2: Fortunately this DVD is NOT region code 1, as indicated by Amazon, which being from Europe allows me to watch it too. This brings me to another questionable business aspect: coding Music DVDs with region code 1 means, that only North America (or whatever the detailled region is) is able to play that DVD. And since country music DVDs (such as the Greatest Video Hits by Travis Tritt for instance) are not issued outside of the US mostly, they will forever remain a well hidden secret for the rest of the world (unless you make an illegal copy to strap the region code, which is the only way to watch it all - can we call that promoting illegal copying by record companies!?).

- Great live DVD/CD!If you've ever been to a Rascal Flatts show, then you know what a great show these guys put on! However, if you haven't this live DVD will definitely make you want to attend one! Once you've watched the DVD, you can then take the fun into your car cd player by listening to some of the tracks on the cd. This DVD/CD package is well worth the money!
