The Asylum Street Spankers have something for everyone; blues, jazz, pop, folk, country, children's songs, Christmas songs, raunchy songs, gospel, novelty songs, etc. They've been my favorite band since I first picked up their Children's CD (Mommy Says NO!) from the library 10 years ago. I was fortunate enough to see them perform on their final tour [Wammo wasn't performing that night :-( ]
Whenever I get the chance, I introduce people to these talented people!

What A Performance

"The Asylum Street Spankers have always put on a great show. I've seen them in Concert in Chicago in November 2006 and what I really loved was the combination of fantastic musicianship, great melodies and their natural, sometimes naughty humour. The Re-Assembly DVD ist the culmination of all concerts by the group. Not one clunker in the set list and you can see that they had fun.

For the music and the performance I gave the five stars. Minor gripes I have (they didn't influence my rating): The picture quality is so so, i.e. it is in Widescreen but not anamorphic. This means you get less screen resolution because you have to manually zoom the picture to fit your screen. Also, I found that when the camera is in motion, the movement on the screen becomes a bit jerky. Last bit of griping: It would have been nice to get a 5.1 digital surround sound to get the "I'm in the audience, close to the band" kind of feeling. But again, this didn't distract me from thouroughly enjoying this performance. I'm watching it over and over again.

And now go and get spanked."

"I have been seeing the Spankers Live for about 7 of their 10+ years of existence, and this show has it all. First and foremost, it has every single person who has played in the band, and they are tastefully inter-twined in a fashion as to allow each one's talents to shine through without seeming overcrowded. Good Music, wonderful talent and humor, filmed thoughtfully......and great sound. If you've not seen them, buy this to learn how good they are and what you are missing....if you have seen them buy this to see other members you may not have known to be a part of the band.

And, I was able to play both parts and the bonus features, so the previous commentor's DVD Player may not have been working correctly."
