PJ HARVEY Please Leave Quietly Island ***

Early on, a weary PJ Harvey confesses that she wants this DVD to be a "patchwork quilt of what it's like to be on tour". Forget floral blankets and lace trim, this is all dark edges and camp costume changes. Shot in murky black and white, it glues together fragments of the same songs, soundcheck footage and video diaries. The quiet West Country Girl Nick Cave once wrote about is glimpsed only offstage. Performing, Harvey is a mix of erotic angst and gorgon-like fury, displaying

as much enthusiasm for old (Dress, Down by the Water) and new material alike. There's a 28-minute interview, which makes up for some indistinct off-stage audio, but it doesn't distract too much from the incendiary burlesque of Ms Polly Harvey. www.pjharvey.net

GARY MOORE & FRIENDS One Night in Dublin - A Tribute to Phil Lynott Eagle Vision ***

The rock guitarist's grimacing face, the look halfway between agony and ecstasy, is one of the most ridiculous aspects of the genre - the axeman cometh by any other description. Here, at last year's celebratory concert at The Point to pay sincere tribute to Phil Lynott, Gary Moore, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson and Eric Bell provide many such gurning moments. All the former Thin Lizzy guitarists are on hand to rock the joint, and they don't disappoint; quite a number of classic Lizzy tunes are pulled out of the hat: Don't Believe a Word, Emerald, Jailbreak, Whiskey in the Jar and (cue a capacity audience going ape) The Boys Are Back in Town. Old songs by old lags, beefed up with massed guitar chords; the DVD has it's you-had-to-be-there moments, but by and large it works. Extras include interviews with the leading players. www.gary-moore.com
