  • "Thanks a lot..."
    author: Princess Morgenthal

    I think Stan is rather incredibly sexy. But what's even sexier is getting one seriously underpriced DVD with EVERY piece of footage a WOV completist could ask for. The menu and transitions between videos are hilarious...you can tell Stan had his hands (of love) in the entire process of putting this incredibly rare and worthwhile thing together. It's inexpensive and high quality. BUY IT and help support this old fringe cult leader! WE LOVE YOU STAN!

  • brought back great memories of a great live show
    author: Hank Vann

    One of the best concerts I've seen was Stan at the Piggery in Byron Bay, Australia, many years ago. Sheer intense musical lunacy with great musicianship. Just what's captured on this DVD. Sign me up for the next one of contemporary performance. Being subversive in a 3 minute song is a rare skill worth emulating. Good one Stan!

  • An tremendous DVD from Wall Of Voodo's mainman
    author: David Bontron

    Even if some of the material herein is kinda rough, this is an absolute must-have for every fan of this so talented artist, which stands as one of the few real writers among rock lyricists. First of all, because this collection is really difficult to purchase here, in France, a reason for which I thank CDBaby for giving me the opportunity to find it. Secondo, this footage spans a lot of the career of former Wall Of Voodoo singer/songwriter, from the WOV days (those clips & looks!!!) to 1995 and the albums "Black Diamond" & Drywall's "Work the Dumb Oracle" (the latter being, in my opinion, his finest work since he went solo). His fine duo with Police's Stewart Copeland, "Don't Box Me In", is very Tuxedomoon-like... More personnaly, I was astounded to realise he did a track for a french movie I saw as a kid (Terminus - a kind of french answer to Mad Max - with belgium/french mainstream icon Johnny Halliday), "End Of the Line" (a song I already knew as a bonustrack from the remastered version of "The Big Heat", his first solo LP), closing a circle...

  • A blast from the past...
    author: Jaime Drysdale

    Not the best video production, but they are the original film clips. Somehow it seems the best way to view these songs is in their original (and rough) format. A great collection of behind-the-scenes clips from various tours too. A remarkable tribute to a truly remarkable singer-songwriter. My only criticism is that I wish there were more tacks on this DVD!!

  • The best darned DVD money can buy!
    author: Maxwell Murdoc

    Derek asked me to stop by and write a review for Showbusiness Is My Life by Stan Ridgway. Words escape me....ah, what the hell...this is a fantastic collection of Stan's video's but to make it better (as if it can get any better) there are a bunch of Wall of Voodoo video's too. I even like the unpolished look that Stan added to the menu. For 18 bucks, how could you go wrong? If I had enough money, I'd buy a copy for everyone. No I don't have enough money so don't ask. How's this Derek? Huh? No Really, the DVD is fantastic!

  • Excelent compilation!!!
    author: Luis Canon

    I was so anxious to have a Stan Ridgway/Wall of VooDoo DVD, I have all cds but this DVD is really incredible. Stan is a Hero in South America too!!! Thanks cdbaby.com!

  • Great DVD!
    author: Mark P.

    A fantastic compilation of Stan Ridgway's video material through the years.

  • Showbusiness Is my life
    author: Mark H.

    Great DVD of Stan and the boys! A must see for all Ridgeway and Wall of Voodoo fans!! great stuff!!

  • I'm always waiting for the next one
    author: Thierry

    Interesting, but would have deserved a best production... Rare videos with approximate sound. For fan only. I am. Can we hope Stan to be back in France again ?

  • Finally on DVD!
    author: Ron of the Weird Desert

    This is FINALLY re-released on DVD after all these years. Artwork could have been a hair better, (Stan only deserves the best!) Now all they have to do is release a 2xDVD of all of Wall Of Voodoo's videos, interviews, and performances. Then the world could live as one.

  • GREAT SONGS & VIDEOS FROM A TRUE AMERICIAN ARTIST THANKS
    author: TONY CLARKE

    GREAT DVD ALL YOUR FAV STAN RIDGWAY & WALL OF VOODOO

  • Fantastic career retrospective!!
    author: Jay Heycock

    Absolutely awesome career retrospective!! Everything from early Wall of Voodoo to newer solo stuff, it's all here. You can't go wrong with this DVD. Great quality throughout also.

  • Excellent & Exhaustive
    author: Alvaro Díaz

    Superb Collection. The vids are great, especially "The Big Heat" and "Drive She Said", which are like mini B-movies (by the way, Stan should sue Michael Mann and Tom Cruise, as it is pretty obvious that "Drive She Said" inspired the otherwise excellent "Collateral"). "Big Dumb Town" and "I Wanna Be a Boss" are two of the best videos I've ever seen, and the "Terminus" promo reel is awesome. My only complaint is that "The Drywall Incident" is not included, but it appears in the "Holiday In Dirt" DVD as a hidden bonus, another masterpiece that every Stan fan must own.

  • Excellent DVD from a great artist
    author: Ulrich Angersbach

    I recently bought the Stan Ridgway DVD "Showbusiness Is My Life". This DVD features music highlights from his career, including the Wall of Voodoo perod. Also some selected videos. Alltogether a great and fascinating compilation which I can strongly recommend even to those who are not yet familiar with Stan and his music. I love Stan's music since more than 20 years now and still enjoy the wise lyrics of this extraordinary artist. The DVD is a "must buy" for everyone.

  • I've waited all my life for this
    author: Heywhat

    I've waited all my life for this. One rubbish reviewer but one hell of a DVD

  • Svengali Musicalis Strikes Again, Spaceman!
    author: jan bunting

    the spirit of salvador dali is alive & well this sonic opus of momentus import to us fans. heck even strangers would revel in it's gonzo artistry. my parents, who are in their 80s love it too. so whether you are tragically hip or just think you are do snap one up immediately. it's the one DVD they'll be watching Galactically throughout the Cosmos and under the Pyramids' too.

  • Hail, O Great Sage!
    author: Oyvinn Thon, Norway

    This was just as kooky as i thought it would be, kinda like a trip inside the head of THE MAN, Stanard Ridgway! Great stuff, every old clip a Black Diamond in itself. You just can't stop the show....WE WANT MORE!!

  • author: Heather Drain

    There are a handful of artists who are talented and visionary enough to make the meeting of sound and image the best it should be. Stan Ridgway, both solo and in such bands as Wall of Voodoo, Drywall and Chapter 11, is one of those few. Nothing shows this better than "Showbusiness is My Life." It is by far one of the best and most comprehensive music related DVD's out there. It will make a believer out of you if there are any doubts about Ridgway the man and musician, not to mention the importance of video in relation to music.

  • A great collection... finally on an official, factory-pressed DVD!
    author: John in Montreal

    Great to finally be able to get a great quality DVD of this fantastic collection! All the videos, solo and with Wall of Voodoo... home video, "you are there" tour footage... rare TV and concert appearances. Definitely worth the upgrade from the old VHS and DVD-R versions... this one's factory pressed and it looks and sounds great!

  • Great collection!
    author: Matthew

    Good stuff - lots of videos, and on the road footage. Neat!

  • Stuff I had never seen before... neat...
    author: Tom

    This is a must for those of us who follow Stan Ridgway's works...

  • Stan the man
    author: chazmo

    Great live WOV clips from tv. The Stan videos are like little movies. Big Dumb Town is a bit disturbing but also brilliant. If you like Stan and WOV you'll love this DVD.

  • AT long LAST!
    author: Skeek
