Giant on the Box features two longish television performances. First up is a '74 German broadcast that finds them on tour in support of what was ultimately to become their biggest-selling record, The Power and the Glory. During the 50-minute set, comprised of material from that album as well as a tune from their cult hit (mind you, at over 150,000 units sold at the time - and as a British import, no less - it may be more than a cult record after all) In a Glass House , a medley of tunes from Octopus and a dip back to their first, self-titled, album for an extended version of "Funny Ways," Gentle Giant demonstrate why they were such a compelling band, especially in concert.

Daniel Lemire Chez Vous

2008

Le DVD Lemire chez vous, c'est en premier lieu la captation du tout dernier spectacle de Daniel Lemire, spectacle présenté à guichets fermés plus de 125 fois partout au Québec au cours des deux dernières années. Capté au National en juin dernier, le huitième one man show du célèbre humoriste pose un regard vif et mordant sur l'actualité à travers ses personnages bien connus : Oncle Georges, Ronnie Dubé, Yvon Travaillé, Maurice le fumeur... Avec une collaboration de Jean-Pierre Plante aux textes, Lemire nous revient dans une mise en scène dépouillée et sobre, privilégiant l'humour intelligent, les bons mots et son indéniable sens de la répartie. Du stand-up comic à son meilleur! Un one man show que toutes les critiques ont qualifié d'"intelligent", d'"hilarant", d'"extraordinaire". Un spectacle de grande qualité, à voir ou à revoir absolument!
