British neo-psychedelic rock outfit Primal Scream perform their 1991 album Screamadelica in its entirety in this 2010 concert filmed at London's Olympia venue. Although Primal Scream never really broke up, the band has seen numerous personnel changes and long periods between projects. But the group is in fine form for this 10-song set featuring frontman Bobby Gillespie, guitarists Andrew Innes and Barrie Cadogan, keyboardist Martin Duffy, bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield, and drummer Darrin Mooney. The shaggy danceability of wonderful workout songs like “Don't Fight It, Feel It,” “Shine Like Stars,” and “Loaded” keep the crowd moving, while a gospel choir, brass section, and films by artist Jim Lambie projected onto a backdrop add to the exuberance. Presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and stereo on DVD, and DTS-HD 5.1, Dolby Digital 5.1, and LPCM stereo on Blu-ray, extras include a 40-minute “rock and roll” set (with tracks including “Accelerator,” “Burning Wheel,” and “Suicide Bomb”), and the behind-the-scenes documentary “Classic Albums—Screamadelic.” Recommended.
