Blu-ray Review: Owl City Live From Los Angeles

Release Date: February 7th, 2012
Rating: NR
Run Time: Approx. 209 minutes

Owl City is one of the most creative artists of our time and you can figure that out never even knowing who he is and only hearing one song, any song. You can imagine our anticipation seeing just how he would translate his solo music, recorded alone on the computer in the basement to the stage with a band but he did it and he did it very well.

Filmed on July 21, 2011 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA, Owl City Live From Los Angeles is a must have for Owl City fans. Owl City is so pure and so complex… just magic. To see that come alive on stage, there’s nothing like it.

After seeing this, I must go see Owl City live now. An Owl City concert wasn’t necessarily a priority before specifically because I was concerned about how his work would fit on the stage. But I am satisfied with what I’ve seen and just want to soak myself up in his music live just as I do when I’m listening on my own. Hearing this young man’s music is one thing but seeing his vision come to life, as Adam Young said during the concert, “I can’t even begin to describe how humbled I am to be with you this evening.” This really is a beautiful moment and I want everyone to make it their mission to go to an Owl City concert before they die.

Bonus Features:

Extended Interview – On the Blu-ray, viewers have the options to watch the concert as is, watch the concert with an Adam Young interview intertwined, and watch an extended version of the interview on its own. The extended interview is not much longer and does not even begin as an interview but instead a behind the scenes look at putting together the performance for “Fireflies.” Even if you do watch the concert with the interview intertwined, I recommend watching the extended interview because there is plenty of insight even within the few minutes added here. Don’t skip out on watching this!
