Wolfmother Please Experience Wolfmother Live

Published Feb 21, 2008
The first concert DVD from these 70s-obsessed rockers from Oz nicely showcases the riff-happy power trios live prowess. The bands Sabbath-Zeppelin-Deep Purple jams get kicked out righteously before a sold-out and screaming hometown crowd in Sydney. Hits such as "Woman, "Dimension and "Joker & The Thief bring the boogie with so much energy that nobody seems to mind that singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale (he of the Rob Tyner-esque fro) sings a lot of songs about unicorns and witches. And nor should they, quite frankly, because this is unabashed beer-drinkin, head-bangin, book-tossin rocknroll of the utmost competence. Also included is a short documentary ("Meet The Mother) that strips away the cock rocking image to reveal a pleasantly normal set of fellas with heads well screwed-on. Other extras include two songs from what appears to have been an extremely boisterous show at Brixton Academy in London, five music videos and an awards show performance.
