- For the first time ever on DVD and Blu-ray, STOMP LIVE, the brand new stage performance. STOMP has entertained over 15 million across 42 countries and is consider one of the most successful stage shows of all time. Format: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD Rating: NR Age: 812491010143 UPC: 812491010143 Manufacturer No: WD286
Eight performers take the audience on a journey through sound and music, where rhythm is the only language…
STOMP has grown from its beginnings on the streets of Europe into an international sensation, with touring productions all over the world, and long running shows in London, Las Vegas and Broadway. This special performance brings together performers from the West End, New York and Vegas for the very first time, to Stomp’s home town and the theatre where many of the routines were originated: Brighton Dome.
Instantly recognizable household objects take on new life as percussive instruments in the hands of each of the Stompers: brooms, cigarette lighters, water bottles, basketballs and more are each explored for their sonic potential. Dance meets rhythm in “Hands and Feet” and Stomp takes to the air in “Suspension”, where the entire set becomes a musical instrument. The show climaxes with the “Bins” routine: a ten minute rhythm extravaganza in itself, using trash-cans, oil drums and plastic drums with trash-can lid combat sequences…
Combining physical comedy and athleticism, it’s a highly charged performance from an idiosyncratic group who could only come from the world of STOMP.

I love Stomp. The image quality is excellent.
But beware!!! This DVD IS NOT IN SURROUND SOUND!!!!!!!!!!
As impossible as it sounds, this Bluray is recorded in “Dolby STEREO”. So all that you are going to get is the use of your 3 front speakers and, depending of your sound receiver, a simulated effect on the rear speakers.
Fist of all, Stomp is a show of SOUND and for me is incredible that in 2009 a bluray comes with less that surround sound.
Again, I love Stomp. I have also the “Stomp Out Loud” and the difference in sound is impressive. That’s why I giving only 2 stars.
The show is worth a 6 stars! Sorry.

What sold me on this DVD was the fact that I watched 3 energetic pre-teen boys sit still and watch it with fascination and much interest for the entire duration of the show. I don’t know too many things that can have that effect so I bought it for my grandson. Clean with a lot of cool “guy” stuff and not at all corny.

It seems that it could have been a soundman’s nightmare trying to capture all the percussive sounds in the these performances..I was amazed how well it was done. I would recommend this video to anyone and feel like I had done them a favor.

As much as I enjoy the stunning performance of these guys, I find it very irritating when the dvd footage doesn’t match the sound I’m hearing! It’s like, I hear a clap, and half a second later I see their hands clapping… ??? I don’t understand how the people making this dvd could let such things happen..it is such a big production, one would expect a professional video editing job!!! This is a little detail, but nevertheless quite annoying. About the show itself I was completely blown away, and will certainly go and see these guys LIVE next time they come here!!!
