If Band in Berlin is successful as period entertainment, it fails as documentary, in part because, as a documentary, it's essentially bogus, passing off re-enactment as documentation.
Instead, Band in Berlin relies on simple ironies and fatuous visual counterpoint (a lullaby is sung against slides of Hitler as a child, etc., etc.).
Seeing Band in Berlin is like watching a reconstructed concert by a vocal ensemble imitating the Trapp Family Singers, singing German folk songs and Christmas carols, without either Rogers and Hammerstein's songs or Lindsay and Crouse's book for The Sound of Music.

 The bright lights tonight / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
Berlin and Dave Alvin cut their teeth together in the seminal punkabilly band The Blasters during the late '70s and early '80s, and so Alvin was a shoo-in for the project.
Indeed: The band dates back to the early '70s, even though it was their 1987 hit remake of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba" that catapulted them briefly into the mainstream and squarely into the American consciousness.
The band's commitment to their own uncompromising cultural and musical identity is impressive by any measure – particularly in this world of flavor-of-the month bands (not to mention fly-by-night ones).

What if Berlin had stayed as is (was?) I believe the arrangements would have changed from the very techno-esque first ablbum to what we are able to hear now.Bands that survive over 5 years will adjust to the what the public listens to, and buys.
Some Berlin songs had signature patches (such as the percussive noise filter patch from "No More Words" and the 808 drums from Metro cheezy though they may be) that actually defined some keyboards, genres and eras (such as the era of Mitch learing the songs when he was 14).
This is much better than the incarnation of the band where there was a live bass player when she first got it back together.
