Music Video
Distributors, MVD, offers an in depth video look into a show from
Gregory Isaac’s “Here by Appointment” tour in 2003. Filmed at North
London’s Rocket venue, Gregory performs his top hits on stage,
including Number One, Night Nurse, Mr. Brown, and more.
Gregory pours his
heart to the crowd, and the disc is, if nothing else, a
picturesque representation of the experience in seeing The Cool Ruler
perform live.
While the
production values are decent, the selection of venue for the filming
leaves one wondering what has happened to the Cool Ruler. The acoustics
are a bit lacking on the DVD, and
it’s hard to keep one’s attention as the vocals and the music are on
different levels. Mr. Isaacs vocals have slipped over the years,
and a more nasal approach is clearly heard and is only inflamed by the
separation of music and vocals on the DVD track.
Extras features
offer additional interviews, glossary, and more, which offers hope of
value in this DVD
for one of reggae’s true legends, The Cool Ruler.
