Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was 60 minutes of pure fun. It was great to see artists who have rarely been seen on DVD (or virtually anywhere since their heyday). This is a good mix of 70's/60's Pop, R&B, and Adult Contemporary. The pros far outweigh the cons of this production. Seeing an artist such as B.J.Thomas who had great success with multiple hits during that era sounded wonderful and is usually only seen on the small club circuit scene. Same could be said for Lou Rawls & Dionne Warwick (although they are on many other PBS/Concert reunion DVD's). The reunion of Tony Orlando & Dawn was a fun treat and Debbie Boone making an appearance to sing her huge 70's classic was a visual and listening pleasure.
Groups that only partially have original members such as The 5th Dimension, The Association and Peaches & Herb sound good with replacement singers.
I would rate this May 2003 recording the following way:
Audio quality: 4.5 Stars
Video quality: 5 Stars
Acts/Performances: 4 Stars
Has a strong line-up, some fun humor and good selection of material for each artist. Hope to see a Vol. 2.
