The title of Like the Deserts Miss the Rain comes from "Missing," the first of nine videos on this collection (and the band's biggest U.S. hit). While all could be described as "stylish"--much like Everything But the Girl--they're otherwise quite different. Sometimes Tracey Thorne and Ben Watt appear; other times actors take center stage. "Single," for instance, features a man tumbling across town: down the street, into a Laundromat, in and out of a dryer, etc. Then there's the "populist" video for Simon and Garfunkels "The Only Living Boy in New York," directed by art house favorite Hal Hartley (Henry Fool). (The duo appears to have added a few dozen members.) The DVD also includes three live performances, including a fine version of Massive Attack's "Protection" (featuring Thorne on vocals), and three demo tracks that play as photos of the duo pass by. A fine career overview of one of the U.K.'s most enduring acts. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Mis en scène par nulle autre que Lise Dion, Les Grandes Gueules… Complices, se voulait un univers déjanté, un monde en trois dimensions de projections, costumes et chorégraphies où revivaient les désormais célèbres personnages du duo, Jocelyne, Enrique Eglesias, Jean-Marie Biensûr, Ti-Rouge, Stéphane Sansoucy, Jacques Rougeau. Dans le spectacle Complices, les Grandes Gueules jouaient la comédie, de la trompette et du trombone, dansaient et chantaient... Un spectacle de variétés avec une finale belle et touchante digne des grands humoristes québécois. Renversant!
Spectacle d'humour intégral capté à la salle André Mathieu de Laval le 24 août 2002. Stand-up comique et sketch de personnages incluant Jocelyne (top modèle), Armand (le père à José), Stéphane SansSoucy (le siffleux), Ti-Rouge (Yen a pas d'job) et Robert (salut les crottés)
Dans ce nouveau tour de piste, Larocque aborde des sujets qui ne sortent pas nécessairement de l’ordinaire mais, en revanche, l’angle qu’il utilise est intéressant. Courts, efficaces et toujours aussi punchés, tous ses numéros font mouche, et ce, sans exception. Dans Vu d’même, Sylvain Larocque est drôle, intelligent et surtout très pertinent. De tous les spectacles de l’artiste, celui-ci est sans aucun doute le plus achevé. Bref, c’est évident, l’humoriste est au sommet de son art. D’entrée de jeu, l’humoriste a tenu à remercier son public d’avoir osé venir le voir, et ce, malgré son apparence. «Je sais, je n’ai pas l’air d’un gars qui, après le spectacle, va aller gambader nu dans un champ de marguerites. Pas que je n’aime pas ça mais, quand ça fait deux fois que tu te fais arrêter par la police, tu comprends le message…» .
