AAPA REVIEW:

PJ HARVEY – On Tour, Please Leave Quietly (Island) - DVD
Released May 2006


Apart from her music the most appealing thing about PJ Harvey is her unique talent for the totally unpredictable and that maybe just like modern day life not everything is necessarily better if it's always perfect!
Here we have the first official live PJ Harvey DVD with a great summary of her musical input from the past 10 years which was taken from her last worldwide tour (2004) when she was out promoting the critically acclaimed "Uh Huh Her" album (island records). In-between the live set of 16 songs we are also able to witness what is happening backstage and the DVD extras also include an exclusive interview with the artist along with additional behind the scenes footage and excerpts from songs that were not included in any of her gigs that all help make this DVD different to the norm (unlike the majority of artists who get to that stage in their career when they release the standard "highly polished" compilation, singles or Greatest Hits album) and therefore a really good acquisition. And on the subject of PJ Harvey, she ends up having a not to dissimilar impact and influence on the (alternative) music scene that Bowie had in the 70`s and Depeche Mode in the 80`s in that consistent Top 20 chart entries are much better in the long run than a number 1.
