Short concert on what looked like the coldest night of the y

"TPOH is a woefully underappreciated Canadian rock band that had its brief Stateside success with the song "I'm an Adult Now" in the late 1980's. This DVD showcases the band in an outdoor concert in their native Canada in what looks like 20 degree Fahrenheit weather. Good songs, catchy hooks, and plenty of attitude. Given the temperature at the show, I'm glad I watched it in my living room instead of in person.



What also makes this a good concert video is the lighting -- mostly plain white light that showcases the band in vibrant cinematography and natural-looking light rather than bathing them in multi-colored stage lights just for theatricality's sake."

Happiness Indeed!

""As much as she'd like to believe, she's leading a brand new way..." This band is quirky and fun and the show on this DVD is a good one. The thing I like so much about TPOH is their vocal harmonies. There's a certain sound that the female backing singers create when their voices combine. The sound has what I call a "pleading" quality. Abba had it. I wish I knew the right terms to describe it. If you like TPOH, you'll enjoy the concert. If not, you might enjoy it anyway!"
