Superb !!! November 5, 2007
I enjoyed this DVD so much.
If all these artists on this DVD were to perform together here in the UK tomorrow, I would sell my house to get a ticket.
Patty Labelle and others kept on referring to and thanking PBS, I am not sure what PBS is, but whatever it is, KEEP IT GOING..
Great selection of songs performed from some great 70's soul artist September 9, 2007

I was pleasently surprised by this dvd when I viewed it for the first time. It turned me on to some great soul artist, plus let me enjoy some artist that I was already familiar with. All the artist seemed to be in very good, to great form that night. Sad that some of them have passed since. I also enjoyed the selection of songs, and they all brought back quite a few memories. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan of these artist, or to someone who has a growing interest in soul/classic R&B music.
Unlike quite a few of the reviewers, I thought the audio was very good. I am running a Onkyo receiver with Fosgate Audionic speakers, but I have also heard this dvd on low end equipment and it sounds fine to me.
If there is a gripe with the sound, it would be the way they mixed the crowd cheering/applause in on the master. The crowd volume is constantly raised and lowered(almost mixed randomly) throughout the whole show. There is also some poor editing on "We are Family" where the whole rhythm of the song gets knocked off.
On a side note, if you ever get a chance to see a show at the Borgata(where most of this was filmed), you should. The sound system is very clear in that venue.
I've watched this dvd about 10 times over the last few years and have yet to grow tired of it. Everyone that I've shown it to has gone out and bought it as well.
Superb! August 16, 2007
This is a DVD you will treasure most: the sound, lighting, video quality, and overall performance of each artist, whether it is the performance by hostess Patti Labelle, Harold Melvin's Blue Notes, the Chi-lites, the Stylistics or George McCrae, is superb! Thanks to PBS for making it possible.

Good But Could Be Better... Much Better January 15, 2007

Being a child of the seventies, I enjoyed this DVD very much. Yes there were many bald heads, gray hairs, some pot bellies and loud suits but the voices were all intact and the replacements of many legendary singers did excellent jobs. My only concerns was the sound quality was VERY poor. The band was always louder than the singers. Additionally, with some artists I wanted to hear more than just one song. I wanted to hear more from Heatwave than just "Always & Forever", I wanted to hear "Boogie Nights". I wanted to hear more than just "Best of My Love" from the Emotions, I wanted to also hear "Don't Ask My Neighbor". Despite this, it was very nice to see many of these groups still kicking it. Lastly, pay attention to the linear notes and watch the interviews. That was very informative. You know if someone had the "Sinbad Seventies Jams" from HBO on DVD and were selling them, I would love it. Now those were great seventies nostalgia concerts.
