a slim serving of the Lizard King mystique
The Doors was all about Jim Morrison; it was his throaty voice, a strange grace which was rather like a newborn colt, and his charismatic talent that carried the group to fame, despite the able and sometimes brilliant musicianship of Ray Manzarek (keyboards), Robby Krieger (guitar). and John Densmore (drums). Excellent Compilation of The Televised Performances
If you love The Doors like I do than this video is an absolute must for your collection. This one includes most if not all of their television appearances including the live performances of "Light My Fire" and "People Are Strange" from the Ed Sullivan Show in 1967. One of my favorite performances is when Jim and the band perform "Love Me Two Times" in black and white from a TV program in Denmark. I really like this performance of the song because in this one Jim mixes the poem of "Texas Radio and The Big Beat" in the middle of the song and it sounds really cool. Another song that I love is "Touch Me" from the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. In this performance the band perform the song with a full orchestra, it sounds very nice. Overall this is a great video and you will enjoy it very much especially if you're a Doors fan and even if you aren't one after seeing this great video you will become one.

Nice Look AtAn Awesome Rock Group.
I'm an 18 year old straight up rock fan.I love this music and it was nice for me to see one of my all-time favorite rock bands perform some of my favorite songs live and the music videos were cool too. I especially liked it because I'll never get the chance to see them in concert any other way. Break on through rocked! It doesn't hurt that Jim was so goodlooking either!Not only that but this group has raw talent and depth that today's teen pop groups can't touch! I'm glad there are videos like this one to bring The Doors to a younger generation. Me and my friends appreciate it! ... Read more

This is _THE_ live album
This video essentially captures a very refined selection of their first (commonly thought) heavier albums. The album is produced by the legendary producer Martin Birch who a.o. engineered Deep Purple's Made in Japan. SIMPLYTHE BEST HEAVY METAL TAPE EVER!!!

a dazzling show
Reba McEntire is extraordinary in this show that includes 12 songs, lots of costume changes, a couple of comedy skits, and an example of polished showmanship.
Reba The Entertainer
When you hear Reba sing on an album, you can hear the emotion in her voice. There is nothing like her, the way she brings a song to life. On tour though, her songs come to life. Visually you receieve another perspective on the song. This is a showcase of Reba's excellent talent as a singer/entertainer. A must have.

One of the best music videos ever made
I highly recommend this to anyone. She shows why she puts on the best concert of anyone in music. ... Read more

Riverdance spectacular
This is a show one can watch again and again. The setting, the music and dancing are all superb. Very well done, but not overdone, it is sure to delight anyone who watches it.

Riverdance is awesome
This is an outstanding DVD.I highly recommend it.If you have seen Riverdance live you can relive the great moments.If you haven't seen Riverdance live you are in for a real treat with this DVD from the comfort of your own home.

More Show!!!!
I really enjoyed this dvd because it had more of the show filmed than in the vhs riverdance - the show. It is a little bit of an annoyance that I have to flip it over in the middle. I definately like Colin Dunne's dancing better than Michael Flateley's, Colin doesn't seem to steal the spotlight away from Jean Butler as much as Michael did. It gets my thumbs up. ... Read more

Beautiful music and scenery, cheesy '70's production
I love the music, the scenery is breathtaking, I adore Florence, and Edward G. Robinson is always fun.However, the titles, the sudden camera zooms, and some really awful choreograhy all glaringly point to the period in which the movie was made.Watch and enjoy, but be ready to flinch.I've got a bad VHS copy, but when is this finally going to be put on DVD?

utterly glorious....but WHERE can one find it??
I saw "Song of Norway" as a child in Bombay (now called Mumbai) India, in 70mm with 6-track sound, sitting in the Balcony's first-row-center of one of the best reserved-seat "roadshow" theaters in this country....and have never forgotten it. The same theater used to have re-runs of great films in "morning shows" and this movie returned at least twice. I made it a point to see it again....and again.
Grieg's Music a Landmark for Norway
I first watched this movie just after its release at a movie theater in Boston in 1970 and saw it again aboard an SAS flight from Copenhagen to New York in January 1972. I was impressed with the scenery of the old country. Many of these places I have visited as a youth and as an adult. Edvard Grieg's music describes the love and adoration he had for his country. Listening to his music I can picture in my mind the beauty of Norway's picturesque, breathtaking landscape; i.e. fjords, forests, waterfalls and mountains.

Newley's masterpiece and Tanner's acclaimed performance
Did you know that Anthony Newley never sold the film rights to Stop The World...? The studio's promotion notwithstanding, this Warner Brothers release (and the two additional versions that followed, with Sammy Davis, Jr. and Peter Scolari, respectively) are filmed records of the show in performance on stage. Newley was, in fact, so protective of this show and so concerned with the idea that it might fail to earn it's place in the musical theatre canon because of mishandling or misrepresentation that he twice refused to appear in filmed versions of the show. After the New York critics raved about him as an actor/writer (rather than writer/actor?) he obsessed that the show would be shrugged off as a star vehicle, useless without him. (Likewise, his followup show "Roar of the Greasepaint..." starred Norman Wisdom until producer David Merrick refused to present it without Newley in the lead!) For the first (and only good) "film" Newley endorsed his London replacement Tony Tanner, who had turned this show and role into something of a personal triumph when Newley left for Broadway. Any reservations you may feel about coughing up $20 for a non-Newley "Stop The World" will be found unwarranted when you see Tanner's brilliant star turn. Wry and cynical, by turns put-upon and smug, Tanner breathes glorious life into one of the most alarmingly ambiguous musical roles ever written. Dripping with adroit charm, yet roundly dislikable, Tanner is a marvel to behold.

Stop The World, Please
I was disappointed with this release.I was looking for a 1996 version that starred Peter Scolari and Stephanie Zimbalist.Saw it on t.v. once and loved it,but, can't find a copy anywhere.

GREAT.The more you see it the better it becomes
I saw this in the theatres about 10 times before it ever came out on video.Since I now have the video, I have seen it at least 50 times and it gets better each time.This is the type of show you must see about threetimes before it becomes great.Each time you see it, something new seemsto show up.Would not recommend it to anyone under 16. Try it, you'll loveit.It makes you think and use your brain. ... Read more

Prince is Brilliant!
I've been a Prince fan for years and came across this on cable about two weeks ago for the first time.Amazingly brilliant vocals/guitar work/creative performance by Prince, and Shelia E. was awesome on drums, really fun.I went to my local mall the following morning obssessed with buying anything Prince.Unfortunately my Sign O' the Times cassette from back in the day is worn out and I had to special order it on CD...Still waiting!I forgot what an awesome album it is!I highly recommend this VHS (don't know anything about the DVD version, sorry).

Words cannot describe it!
Who cares how long it took..? Actually I do, and so do plenty of others it seems - it's at sales rank position 73 on 22 June 2005 and apparently still rising! Still, here it is at long last. This is the real deal
One of the best - if not THE best - rock concerts ever recorded on film. Anyone who has been waiting for the DVD release should wait no more. Don't know if this is an "official" release, and don't know why it's only available on amazon.ca. But sound and widescreen picture are great. I've played my VHS version a hundred times, but there are things on this version I've never noticed before, or heard before, the sound is that good. Yes, for some reason the "You Got The Look" video is out-of-focus and grainy, but the sound is still OK. Until he releases a DTS-ES version, this is the one to have. ... Read more

Fascinating Computer Animated Visuals !
The Mind's Eye is my favorite and most prized CG animated videotape of all time---it was my first of it's kind.There were other computer artists and animators who jumped on the bandwagon with their releases at the time of this new emerging video trend.Quite often the results were rather crude and archaic looking with bad visual and audio editing techniques. Many used a cheap Casio keyboard production for soundtrack music. They released poor imitations that were absolutely nothing like this collection.The competition just couldn't hold a candle to the Mind's Eye...
The past, present, and future storyof civilization
This video, while famous for its compilation of then ground-breaking CGI, is really most interesting for the story that it tells. The sequence of the segments ambitiously chronicles the the formation of Earth ("Creation"), the rise of human civilizations ("Civilization Rising"), the technological advances of humanity from the advent of agriculture to the future exploration of the cosmos. The video speculatively concluded with a segment of what might be the next sentient species to arise on Earth (birds?).
reply, where did they go?
This is the video that got me hooked on computer animation years ago.It was released in two versions, 1 in general video stores released by BMG video and another in Radio Shack stores, they are about 70% the same but the rest is very different.Some clips share the music and titles but the images were totally different. The R.S. version was custom made for them, and yes 8th track (the temple) was replaced with (Q factor) (Tingri) (The way I feel).Yes 3 for 1!The seperate music CD features the original 8 tracks by James Renolds.By the way - the next 2 videos in the series also had sepererate R. S. versions, although not as drastic a difference as this first one. ... Read more

A Truly Old-Fashioned Christmas!!
This is one of those early Amy Grant special Christmas programs which include not only her own music, but the traditional and reverential music of the season.She is joined by her family and friends by the fireplace, with some very special guests, and we see the snow, sled, and the Christmas tree with all the trimmings, as well as the brilliant colors of the season.
Very creative its page, would like to see some video clips.
It would like that if it is possible he/she sent me video clips of Amy Grant, of preference, whole

one of the most tasteful & reverent Christmas TV shows ever
This is a gem enjoyed by my family & myself(an Amy fanatic!)-includes songs from her 1st Christmas album; "The Animals' Christmas"(the Jimmy Webb cantata she did w/Art Garfunkel in 1986); a tender rendition of "Away in a Manger"(not available on any Amy album); & excellent concert footage of her "Unguarded" tour-a must have! ...

Wonderful Video.... But Would Have LOVED to See More of Those TEMPTIN' TEMPTATIONS
This video was absolutely wonderful and a whole lotta fun to watch. It was great to see so many legends perform their timeless hits. I loved to see The Four Tops, Somokey & The Miracles and everyone else that was featured. The only problem I had with this video though was I really would have loved to see more of my all time faves..... those Temptin' Temptations.

Detroit is the music hall of fame!!
This video only begins to demonstrate the influence that Detroit artists have had on modern music. How many commercials, tv shows, and movie films used motown songs??
More Shows Please!
In this film you get to see more then The Temptations and The Supremes, you get to see Junior Walker and The All Stars, The Four Tops, Martha and The Vadellas performing their number 1 hits, I wish they would do more films like this showing rare clips of the Motown artists. The Motown artist back in the 60s, were the hardest working performers in the 60s. Hopefully in the future we'll see more like this. ... Read more

Complete Doors Concert On Film - May Be The Only One
This is the legendary Doors at their peak in this, the only complete concert ever filmed of the controversial superband. The concert was filmed live at the Hollywood Bowl during the July 4th weekend in 1968. The concert includes my favorite Doors' song "light My Fire" (extended version.)

The Doors-Live at the Hollywood Bowl
I watched the video twice and came to the conclusion Jim Morrison
It Blew My Mind
I was there....July 1968 in the Hollywood Bowl.What a show!!!When I watch this video in retrospect, I'm unsure why I was so enraptured.I'm a lot older today, my musical tastes have changed.However, it is part of my history and music's as well.This is a very fine show for the younger generation to understand what it was like in 1968.People are strange, indeed. ...

Hey!Where's the DVD???
This video is a very entertaining 90 minutes of excellent music, short interviews, and backstage footage.MB20 is a crazy bunch of guys; their antics, mock accents, and quips are funny even if you're not a big fan of their music already.The lighthearted footage makes a nice juxtaposition with the passionate performances of their songs from YOSLY (plus a few extras). Loved it
I received this as a Christmas gift in 1999 and I loved it. I was so happy to finally have a video I could watch whenever I wanted. I loved their version of "Time After Time." It was the best remake I have ever heard. I really loved the videos at the end, which I play over and over!! The funniest part to me was when Rob talked about his dirty mouth and how he curses alot. That was funny. The music was great and so were the behind the scene extras. I also loved the end when the credits were rolling and they start talking about opening for the Rolling Stones. Rob's accent is hilarious. If you love MB20 you should have this video.

CHEERS GUYS!!
Not only one of the best videos but one of the best concerts I have ever seen, this video shows the guys at there best with this classic collection of Matchbox 20 hits... the only beef I have is, whens the dvd version of this video going to be released? Read more

I have to write this.
I love this DVD!!And so does my 3 yr old.
What a throwback...
I have always loved FREE TO BE YOU AND ME, but now I can also watch the DVD with my daughter.It's so great to be able to share with her the stories and the songs that I grew up with...She loves the babies (Mel Brooks and Marlo Thomas) the most!

Free to Be You and Me - As Long As You Are Like Me
I rented this on a whim and it brought back a lot of memories from my 1970s days in elementary school.This video made its rounds in the public schools.The songs are catchy and the film quality is good.

Yankee Doodle Dandy
The movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy" was an extremely good patriotic movie.The most important aspect about the movie was that it raises patritoic sentiments toward the United Stats in everyone who observes it.

I have always liked the music of George M. Cohan. This gave me the oportunity to understand the man.

Its pretty good, however
Its pretty good for something from 20 years ago, however, I was worried my toddler would get A.D.D. watching it because the scenes are constantly changing and erratic. My toddler enjoys "Toddler Tunes" and "Silly Songs" by cedarmontkids much more.

Old Fashioned, But Good
Yes, this is the one I remember. As a child, I loved this video, but my 2-year-old...not so much. Maybe he'll grow into it. I think the pace of it is just too slow for him right now. It would be great if Kidsongs would reproduce some of these classic sing-alongs with an up-to-date style.

No great shakes

I'm not a Monkee fan but this is fun
I happened to catch this on TV years ago. The Monkees got together for one more episode of their show and they made it seem as if the show had never ended! This was like the 500th episode or something like that !I loved that idea! I'm not a Monkees fan but I have to admit this is a clever and funny special. The guys are all in good form and the tunes from the Just Us album featured in this sound like good stuff to me. I can't believe some critics on here are picking on the Monkees for being childish at times! LOL! It's the MONKEES people! Sure there are plenty of enjoyable moments of goofy stuff in this TV special and that's the charm of it. It's often as silly as the Monkees TV show was back in the old days and as always it's clear that the boys know just how silly it all is. I also notice that a lot of folks were unhappy with the Monkees getting together for one more half hour episode and pretending that the show had been running all those years. I'm sorry folks but that was a very entertaining idea. This special may be just another half hour episode to some but to me this is a winner. Even a non-fan like myself will have to admit that coming back for one more trippy episode was clever. This special taught me that the Monkees still can entertain and are always worth a look and a listen.

PROUD!!!!!!!!
i dont know why these ppl hate this video its a good price and so what big whoop its a 30 minute video id kill just to see them even if its just 30 minutes and since they are older give them a little credit on there antics in the movie i still love them and this video is good do not listen to other reviews cause obviously these ppl arent true monkees fans only those who are would not care how the video is or the music thats in it to see them do it is good enough for me

Justus doesn't do justice to a good album

A Must for a Tina Turner and Marvin Gaye Fans
This is an excellent video all the way through. However there is something very rare and seldom seen on it. This tape has a long lost duet between Marvin Gaye and Tina Turner. The performance is one of the best I ever seen by both performers. Plus there are things to be seen by Tina and Marvin.You can see Tina do A Fool In Love and Marvin do Hitch Hike. Not to mention that you can see the early Aretha Franklin before she became the Queen Of Soul, also the Godfather of Soul James Brown's raw dancining skills at work. Overall the duet between Marvin and Tina was the perfect climax to Shindig Soul video. A true lover of early Soul/R&B music, Marvin Gaye and Tina Turner wouldn't be disappointed by purchasing this tape. I highly endorse it.

Electric&Grand
This Video Blows The Mind.this is a GOlden Time in Soul Music.So Many Great Talents.This is What Soul Music Used To Be About Great Talent&Full Of Fantastic Performances.

The Soulful Vibe of Shindig!
Some of the best clips of rock'n'roll performers are to be found on Shindig and this edition, "Shindig! Presents: Soul" is chock full of great perfomances by James Brown, Joe Tex, Booker T & the MGs, TinaTurner, Aretha Franklin, Major Lance, and a see-it-to-believe it duet byTina Turner and Marvin Gaye. So good, they really need a 2nd edition ofthis! Actually, a 2nd edition of the whole Shindig! series is a must! ... Read more

Great video...but for salsa dancers only.
I bought this video a few days ago and then read the comments on this product page and I was bit hesitant to open the video. However, it is great and in fact one the best that I own from the Josie Neglia series. The salsa moves are excellent, popular, but for advanced salsa dancers only. I found the moves to be great refreshers since I have been taken salsa lessons for almost 10 years now and dance regularly. These moves serve as refreshers for those who are salsa dancers and possibly instructors. If you are a beginner this video is not for you and in fact there's nothing on the box that says "beginner salsa" therefore I am not sure where the notion of this video being for beginners originated. Once again the moves are fantastic, common and will help you to break down the moves more if that's what is needed to perfect them. Not a good choice for beginners
I read the reviews of this video and then bought it anyway because I'm not a total beginner and thought I would be bored with a lot of simplistic breaking down of moves and easy patterns. I was wrong! This is too hard for beginners of any level, even if you already know the basic step and a few turns. Most of the combinations are really complicated, and they provide only brief instructions. Horrible for Beginners
As a beginner I am now taking salsa lessons and still very disappointed with this video.As per this tape if you're a beginner stay away.Good instructors always count "1,2,3,,5,6,7," while showing you the exact steps/footing.As an instructor Jose Neglia doesn't even know how to count - she says "quick, quick, slow,,quick, quick, slow".Not only is that really bad instruction, she furthermore often loses the tempo when she says "quick, quick, slow" which confuses the beginner even more.One more thing, she instructs the dance steps very quickly "quick, quick, slow" then demonstrates it very quickly.If you are a beginner there's no way you'll enjoy this tape. ...
