3-story Santana being aired at SciPort in conjunction with the Red River Revel

A huge downtown, indoor pop concert will air Revel week, employing a 15,000 watt sound system, says Eric Gipson. The show, All Access, is a tribute to the 70 mm film experience.

NYTimes reviewer Stephen Holder said it "has the feel of an illustrious all-star benefit concert as experienced from the godlike perspective of being able to float a few feet above a prime seat near the front of the orchestra. The deep surround-sound acoustics and panoramic visuals match or surpass anything you could experience in a concert hall, even when equipped with high-powered binoculars."

All Access is to be presented in the 3-story dome-screened IMax Theater at SciPort.

The concert will be shown to the public throughout Revel Week, Oct. 1 - 8, says Gipson, Sci-Port Public Relations Manager. Find him at (318) 424-8678 or egipson@sciport.org.

Having viewed this gigantic concert film I have to say
a) I enjoyed myself - largely because of the 70 mm curiosity of it all and
b) upon reflection I realized it's not a great and highly recommendable flic.

The pop star interviews are too frequent and ponderous and the production has no surprises or transcendent moments. That said, I certainly enjoyed the Kid Rock sequence, the BB King & Roots and the George Clinton bits. Indeed, there seems to be something for every taste in it.

One hint for enjoying the Imax theater: sit in the highest row you can reach so as to minimize neck strain.

This is the movie being aired in conjunction with the Revel.
