Makes me wanna dance, dance, dance! I bought this after watching Napolean Dynamite, I forgot he sang Canned Heat. If you LOVE Jamiroquai then you will LOVE this collection of videos. So I had an urge to dance in my pajamas in the living room while feeling like I landed on Jupiter and all without mind altering substances even! Needless to say this Jamiroquai DVD helped to fulfill my need to dance like no one was watching.
Amazing
Buy it and play the video to set a mood when you have friends over. European funk, crazy moves, and great videos. To many people do not know who Jamiroquai is, and Jay Kay will make burn into their minds. I have found that most people write down the name so they can buy the DVD for themselves. .
All Jamiroquai's Greatest On DVD!!
My favorite period is from 1992's "Emergency On Planet Earth"
to 2001's "Funk Oddysey". I have to echo the other reviewer who said that this is a
must for all true Jamiroquai fans!--
This is a great visual accompaniment to all the great music
that Jamiroquai has made in the last 15 yrs!
I became a fan of Jay Kay and the gang in 1994 with the band's
second album "Return Of The Space Cowboy" and that one remains
one of my favorites by them. . . that was good stuff!
Like I said in my review of "Space Cowboy",
I don't get the vocal comparisons to Stevie Wonder
that alot of people say about Jay Kay
because they sound absolutely nothing alike!
(And trust me, I know the Stevie Wonder reportoire very well!)
Jay Kay has his own thing: vocally, personality
and stage presence-wise! I love the way he moves, as if
defying space & time itself! As for the music, they do rely
on the 70's lexicon, but that's not a bad thing at all!
That music was real, organic, atmospheric and soulful with
lyrics that had meaning, melodies that got down into your psyche
and musical dynamics and sophistication that made it timeless!
If anything, the british kids of the late 80's and early 90's
were doing exactly what they should've been doing here in America. .
putting a new spin on the old and creating a statement for the future!
Stuart Zender is an absolutely incredible bassist!
It's like the late Bernard Edwards of CHIC, Verdine White of E,W&F
and Larry Graham of Sly & The Family Stone / Graham Central Station
morphed and merged into the body of a young white kid!
Jay Kay was a fool to let him go!!
In this day and age of over-choreographed, contrived,
corporate-sponsored pop drivel that lacks substance,
it was acts like Jamiroquai, The Brand New Heavies,
Me'shell N'Degeocello, Floetry, Maxwell, D'Angelo and a few
others that kept me going throughout the 90's!
More young people should pick up instruments, study their craft
and breathe life back into popular music, be it R&B/Funk,
Jazz, Alternative, Rock--(Whateva!)--Just make your own statement!
This collection of videos is even more the bomb for me,
being an american and never getting to see these videos
as they came out (with the exception of
"Virtual Insanity" & "Alright" )because american
radio stubbornly refused to embrace Jamiroquai's music.
SO----Long story short!
Buy This DVD collection if you like good music.
PERIOD!! (-:

Worth Getting for all true fans
From start to finish. I had the opportunity to watch this DVD last night. Over the years I had always wished that Jamiroquai was promoted more in the U. S so that their videos would be available to watch on a regular basis. That's why this DVD is well worth purchasing. Especially since it covers videos from the early years. An added bonus, are the "Jay" interviews at the end of the DVD. GREAT buy for all the TRUE Jamiroquai fans.
A MUST......If you're a Jamiroquai fan
I personally have been waiting for Jamiroquai to release a video dvd
. . . . . . and it's finally here. I got my copy at Virgin records on Hollywood
and was actually surprised when I played it because of the extra stuff that they put in there. . . . It's worth getting it. .
