it was a fantastic night for captain fantastic.......2007-09-15

i was at that wonderful show in MARCH indeed it was a night to remember.i have seen elton on every tour since 1982 and i have never seen a bad show.
some were better than others but you always get your monies worth this was no exception the song selection was from all periods of time and his performance as always was A-1.the extras included on the second disc are equally as exciting .

Incredible Performance.......2007-09-09

I was there the night of March 25th 2007 and what an evening it was. I know that's cliche but it was, of the 8 times I have seen him, the absolute best show I have seen yet. Not only did he play for 3 1/2 hours, but he rocked it out like only the greatest of all time can. To hear his voice now perfroming 60 Years On to open his 60th birthday was beautiful, and that was the first of 33 songs. He played for the die hard fans, playing Where to Now St Peter, Ballad of a Well Known Gun, All the Young Girls Love Alice, and many others we haven't heard in well over 20 years at least. If you're an Elton fan, you most defiantely have to get this. You'll fall in love all over again. If you are just a casual Elton listener, this will make you really understand how wonderful he truly is, and hopefully get you to dig deeper into the archive that is Reg Dwight's music. I will never forget that night forever. It was simply amazing and now everyone will get to experience just how magical that evening was.

Disappointed.......2007-08-23

The camera needed to be a bit further back. As much as I enjoy close ups, and I mean close ups, I like seeing a concert not looking up nostrals or in ear canals, constant camera angles made it difficult to enjoy.

THE CHAMPIONS.......2007-08-23

this sums up one of the greatest crowd orintated bands in the world ,there will never be another queen or freddie mercury sadly, the ultimate live rock dvd,this shows what you pay your money for when you go to see a live concert sadly there are few bands left that can come close to what this dvd shows of queen

Great Show.......2007-07-24

The concert is great. The music sound is great and watching the video on a large computer screen is great. However, I don't recommend the video for high definition tv's. It shows somewhat scratchy on a high definition screen but the sound is still very good. Queen gives an outstanding performance and Freddie Mercury delivers high energy with powerful vocals. All of the songs are favorites for Queen fans.

The Wall (Live in Berlin) seemed uninspired and gimmicky in 1990 but looks and sounds terrifically compelling on DVD, thanks to its vivid image quality and greatly improved audio mixes. The freshly mineswept Potsdamer platz--a once-thriving plaza destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943--proved the perfect place to mark the opening of the Berlin Wall with an all-star production of Pink Floyd's magnum opus: a Wall for a wall. An unlikely assemblage of musicians augments Roger Waters's impressive house band (led by guitarist Rick DiFonzo and organ wizard Nick Glennie-Smith), with everyone from the Scorpions to Joni Mitchell to the Military Orchestra of the Soviet Army getting in on the rock-opera action. Cyndi Lauper, Bryan Adams, James Galway, Thomas Dolby, and Albert Finney all turn in tasty cameos, while Sinead O'Connor looks unaccountably aloof in "Mother." The documentary is thorough and juicy, and producer Tony Hollingsworth offers an above-par essay in the booklet. --Michael Mikesell

There could have been no better way to celebrate a great piece of History. The music and the stars were fantastic.

Live in Berlin.......2007-08-06

I have other dvds of Pink Floyd, but without a doubt, this is the Greatest one that I've ever viewed. I had always wished I could have been there in person - but after viewing the whole concert on a large screen High Def. TV - I had a better view than the 250,000 people that were there!

Awesome.......2007-06-27

I saw part of this late one night while half asleep and searched for more than a year to find it. Highly reccomend to anyone who is a Floyd fan. Or a fan of Rock Opera's.

Great Cover to a great album.......2007-06-08

This is a great DVD.
It becomes greater once you read the album notes.
One can only imagine the feeling that those who attemped the concert felt considering it was done after the Berlin Wall was torn down.

Much better than I expected.......2007-06-07

I love Pink Floyd/Roger Waters stuff (In The Flesh Live is my favorite concert DVD) but I'd avoided this for years because, frankly, I didn't want to see The Wall done by a bunch of people not even remotely connected to Roger Waters' music (Scorpions, Jerry Hall, Cyndi Lauper, etc). Finally I gave in and what a surprise! Not only is the stage show an unbelievable spectacle to behold but the music and performers are great. Van Morrison, Scorpions, Cyndi Lauper, Ute Lemper, Bryan Adams, Paul Carrack, Sinead O'Connor,etc., all do really good jobs with the songs they are given. The only two performances that I didn't care for were Joni Mitchell (Goodbye Blue Sky) and Jerry Hall (Are All These Your Guitars?). Joni Mitchell's voice is very good but she embellishes a little too much for my taste and Jerry Hall's speaking part was a bit too over the top. Other than that, my only disappointment is that this is in (it's original) fullscreen version. An anamorphic 16x9 presentation (it is cropped however from the fullscreen) does exist on The Wall: Live In Berlin (Special Edition) but this disc is either a) a non-Region 1 disc or b) no longer unavailable. The 5.1 sound was very good but lacked a bit in the low end. Overall, the concert is spectacular, the performers are really good, the audio is great, and the video is average. The documentary is worth watching, too. I was completely overwhelmed with how good this concert really was and only regret not having gotten the disc sooner.

While Pink Floyd's widely popular Pulse ranked as one of the bestselling DVDs of 2006, Rush: Replay x 3 is a similarly praiseworthy treasure-trove that's geared more for long-time Rush fans with a working knowledge of the band's evolution. New fans and late-blooming converts are just as likely to enjoy this three-concert package (compiled from previously available VHS releases from the 1980s), but it's the die-hard devotees of Canada's premiere prog-rock power trio who'll get the most from this epic-scale, remastered DVD package. Particularly welcome here are the miniature reproductions of the official programs from each of the tours featured here: "Exit Stage Left" (1981), "Grace Under Pressure" (1984) and "A Show of Hands" (1987-88). With tour-diary notes by the band's illustrious percussionist and co-founder Neil Peart, and often humorous personnel profiles and equipment list by Peart, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and bassist/synth player and vocalist Geddy Lee, these handy booklets offer both tour-related nostalgia and successive glimpses into the band's creative process. Lavishly illustrated, they're also fascinating as visual records of the band's on-stage look, album designs, and related materials.

As presented here (as opposed to earlier releases on VHS and laserdisc), the concerts are intended to complement the same live recordings (with some variations in playlists) that were previously released on CD, and the "Grace Under Pressure" CD, included here as a special-bonus fourth disc, is an all-new release exclusive to this package. If you own them all (and what self-respecting Rush fan wouldn't?), you'll have a near-complete collection of these pivotal performances. Both "Exit" (recorded at The Forum in Montreal, Quebec) and "Grace" (Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto) have been re-edited to an even hour apiece, while "A Show of Hands" (National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, England) clocks in at 90 minutes. While they lack the visual splendor of Pulse, each concert offers an equal serving of highlights, notably "The Trees" and "Xanadu" (on "Exit"), "The Spirit of Radio" and the muscular medley of "YYZ/The Temples of Syrinx/Tom Sawyer/Vital Signs" (on "Grace"); and the stunning Alex Lifeson showcase "La Villa Strangiato" (on "A Show of Gands"). The latter also includes an obligatory and always-impressive Neil Peart drum solo (on "The Rhythm Method"), and while the original video source results in occasionally murkey image quality (as also happened with "Grace Under Pressure" director David Mallet on Pulse), there's no doubt that the 5.1-channel Dolby Digital remastering (supervised by Lifeson and Mike Fraser) represents a substantial improvement in overall sound, especially for those with DTS decoders. For those who think a little Rush goes a long way, Replay x 3 will probably qualify as overkill, but true fans will be ecstatic despite the absence of certain previously available material or any backstage features that would allow a more intimate glimpse of prog-rock's most enduring practitioners. What's not here is regrettable; what is here is fantastic. --Jeff Shannon

3 out of the 4 cd's didn't work.......2007-08-27

I would probably give it a 5, however only 1 cd out of the 4 sent actually would play. I tried on multiply cd players, but no luck.

Good audio, poor video transfer.......2007-07-13

Well, if you want to have these 3 classic concerts on DVD, what are you going to do? Too bad the video quality is about the same as the VHS (i.e., bad). I haven't watched Show of Hands yet, so my review only applies to Grace Under Pressure and Exit Stage Left...

great.......2007-06-29

This was a gift but the individual I sent it to loved it. Of course they are a big Rush fan

Successive blasts from the past..........2007-06-27

The three live recordings of Rush contained in this boxed set are all very good examples of the band at different moments in their development. They are also examples of the style of their times in terms of editing and pace.

The first is just plain good, with lingering camera work and reasonable sound. The enthusiasm of the band shines through and the shots of the audience are just hysterical: "Did we actually dress like that?"

The second shows the pervasive nature on the then rising MTV in its Miami Vice clothing styles and relentlessly quick intercutting during each song. Sound is good but you wish the camera could linger to see what each of the musicians is actually doing. Again, "Did we actually dress this way?"

It is a deep seated peeve of mine that directors insist on this frenetic style of intercutting. Rush is composed of three of the finer musicians out there and getting an extended look at picking techniques, fingerings and the like would be wonderful. But, alas, it is not to be...

The third is just plain fun.

I recommend this to all fans of Rush, and to casual fans who may have an interest in looking at one of the finest prog-rock ensembles to ever come rolling along.

Now, if Geddy would just put down the Fender and pick up his Rickenbacker once again...

Great Momento - but not much more than that.......2007-05-15

It was great to relive all of these concerts I originally saw on Betamax (yes, Betamax). The energy and performance of these shows are still contageous and enjoyable to watch and it is good to have these "markers" of their career.

However, other than some nice packaging, menus and the GUP soundtrack, there is nothing new and most disappointingly, no improvement on quality, except for the audio. Could they not have dug up the original masters for a digital transfer that would have imporved the picture quality, especially on ESL?

Well, the improved audio mix almost makes up for it. I was content to put it on my laptop and just listen to a very clean mix through my earphones. I hope to hear the 5.1 mix sometime soon.

For a really great quality video and audio Rush show, see "R30" - that is magnificent DVD concert mixing.

Freddie on Fire.......2007-08-12

I won't repeat the things already written about this DVD. Indeed, perhaps the best live recording of Queen, i.e. of Freddie who is the soul of the band. I disagree with one comment which appeals to us to listen to modern bands. There are NO great bands these days. If someone creates a good song he or she quickly releases an album with that song surrounded by junk songs. People are after the quick buck. The sole raison d'etre of today's musicians seems to be monetary gain. Artists of the past like Queen were smart, well educated and from good families. They didn't need the money to live comfortably. They did music out of their hearts. They were inspired. Today's musicians do not seem nearly as creative. Things are driven too much by commercialism. No spirit. Just money.

BTW, Brian May left his career as an astronomer to become a Queen member and now at the tender age of 60 finally finished what he had started years ago - his doctorate in physics.

One of the Best Queen Concerts.......2007-03-23

Queen is outstanding at this concert. Freddie is in peak form as well, gyrating and singing to rock it. Queen was one of the hardest working bands; you can definitely see it here. All songs were performed expertly and Freddie's vocals can't be beat. The whole band had the greatest energy and Freddie is quite beautiful dancing around as usual.

The Bonus DVD was surprisingly one of the best I've seen as far as bonus material. There's an interview with Brian and Roger together during this concert tour. And a great interview with just Freddie in Munich during the same tour. Freddie appears to be more relaxed than usual and is quite handsome (can't help it, he was a beauty).
Also included as bonus material, a few songs performed live at other concert locations during the tour. Queen's concert just goes on and on and on.
Queen fans will love this concert. This is a keeper.............

Product Description

At 6pm on April 20th, 1992, Roger Taylor, Brian May and John Deacon, the surviving members of Queen, took to the stage of London's legendary Wembley Stadium to announce the start of one of the biggest events in rock history, organised by Queen themselves to pay tribute to their former colleague - the incomparable Freddie Mercury. The atmosphere of emotion, mixed with joy and sadness, shared by stadium audience, worldwide television viewers, and performers alike, was an experience that will never be forgotten Queen had invited some of the greatest musical talent in the world to join them in paying tribute to Freddie, who tragically died of AIDS on the 24th of November, 1991. The aim of the concert was to celebrate Freddie's life and work, but also to increasepublic awareness of the awful disease which prematurely ended his life. A bonus result was a huge and still growing sum of money raised by the event and its spin-offs which has provided funds to help fight AIDS worldwide ever since. All the guest artists offered their participation for free. The concert was broadcast live on television and radio to 76 countries, from the USA to Russia, and all proceeds, then and now, go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charity formed at that time whose charter is the relief of suffering from AIDS throughout the world. The 72,000 people who were fortunate enough to see the concert live did so in glorious Spring weather in front of a stage 370 ft wide by 90 feet deep. The Stage was flanked by scaffolding towers over 80 ft tall, and crowned at the centre of the proscenium arch by a giant Phoenix - a symbol from Queen's crest designed by Freddie in 1969, and now the emblem of the Mercury Phoenix Trust. It is a lasting tribute to be shared by all. Profits from this DVD will be donated by the Mercury Phoenix Trust to AIDS charities; thank you for buying it.

COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTING!.......2007-05-27

If I could give it a "0" stars I would. They cut all the best performances out of this DVD from the original airing. ESPECIALLY the amazing Extreme Medley...as well as Def Leppard performing "Now I'm Here" with Brian May (which was ironic as they showed Joe Elliott and Brian May in the cover booklet.

I wish I could get my money back.

Freddie Mercury is alive.......2007-03-24

Great DVD. If you are a Queen's fan, must add this show to your collection.

A great tribute to a Great Man.......2007-03-09

Freddie, as I've mentioned in my "Queen+Paul Rodgers" review was/is absolutely irreplaceable. Although there are several members of bands that I've been in that I wouldn't have missed at ALL, should THEY have taken a dirt bath, Brian May, John Deacon, & Roger Taylor are to be commended for quelling their grief at Freddie's loss. And, believe me, the magnitude of Freddie's loss is sadly, brazenly displayed here, "other" performers "doing" Freddie's part. In the "oh, be serious" category, a couple of members of "Guns 'n Roses" display how poorly they play/sing, and...well, my Mama always told me, "if you can't say anything nice about somebody, don't say anything at all" - so I won't mention Elton John or George Michael. And although I have quibbled about David Bowie of late ("Americans Scare Me?"), he is definitely THE STAR here: on "Under Pressure," he duets with the great Annie Lenox, late of Eurhythmics (I don't know how to spell it and it's a stupid name!), and she is great, although that black makeup around her eyes is very distracting from her beauty. Then Bowie reminisces about the music scene, late sixties/early seventies, and brings out Ian Hunter & Mick Ronson of Mott The Hoople. They, with Queen, perform an effervescent "All The Young Dudes." Finally, Hunter leaves, and Bowie/Ronson/Queen perform an almost tender version of "Heroes," a song from Bowie's "lost in the wilderness days." But what happens next is so shocking that it - alone - justifies the price of the DVD: Bowie drops to one knee and prays The Lord's Prayer. And I'm grateful that we get to see Mick Ronson (who, by all rights, SHOULD have gotten R Wood's job when Mick Taylor left the Stones in 1974) perform his last concert. He's suffering from the cancer that would kill him just over a year later, but, by his performance here, you'd never know it. These are MY interpretations of the Tribute Concert Film. For more information about "whose performance was not included," refer to all the other reviewers - and remember that I DIDN'T say "justifiably," either.

Pure Entertainment and music superstars.......2007-03-08

It's an original aproach to Queen Music from the point of view of many top artists. I enjoyed the full concert and the A&E Music special with backstages and some cool stuff. If you are a Queen or Freddye's fan, this DVD must be in your hands.

great camerawork and typical high quality singing/performance from Shania.......2007-08-01

This dvd is my favorite of Shania. It has just enough pictures and interactions with the crowd, including the proposal, to make it more heartfelt and real without becoming sappy. However the real star is Shania herself. This was a very good, if not great performance by her, and the crowd seems to energize her and vice versa. This ia must have for Shania fans, especially of her later works.

I've been a fan of Shania Twain since her first album. I was never a big country music fan, but Shania's music crosses the boundaries of pop, rock and country.

In the mid and late 1980s, Def Leppard was the biggest-selling rock band around, and the two programs on this DVD collection hark back to the British quintet's commercial heyday. Historia is an 85-minute look at the band's videos circa 1980-1988, from its debut, "Hello America," to its huge radio hits "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Love Bites." These videos, either silly "concepts" or lip-synched performances, are par for the early-MTV course. In the Round, in Your Face is a 90-minute concert culled from the 1988 Hysteria world tour; the excited fans are as much the show as the band, especially when hit after hit, from the opening "Stagefright" to the closing "Photograph," is played. --Kevin Filipski

Def Leppard Rocks In This Exciting Concert Movie.......2007-09-17

Def Leppard are recorded live on video for the first time from their 1987-88 in-the-round concert tour supporting the release of their long-awaited Hysteria album. The concert is filmed on location from McNichols Arena in Denver, Colorado with additional footage from The Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia. If you've never seen Def Leppard in concert, I strongly urge you to purchase this video as it captures the band performing all their hits from Hysteria, Pyromania, and High 'N' Dry. This is Def Leppard at their best performing to an audience of mostly teenage girls. Their performances are energetic and entertaining and never slow down or get boring. They really know how to rock like nobody's business. So if you currently don't own this video, buy it today and enjoy Sheffield, England's finest band rock the house.

A good value for quality music........2007-07-11

I have been a fan of Def Leppard from way back. This DVD is a good value
for the money because you are getting the equivalent of two complete
concerts for the money paid. Sound quality is excellent. I was very happy
with this purchase and applaud Def Leppard for producing this DVD. It is
a major relief from the rip-offs that a lot of the people in the music
business try to pull off.

Liked these on VHS, love them on DVD, must have for Leppard fans.......2007-04-26

I originally collected these on VHS, great collections themselves individually. But, now on DVD, the quality is a bit better, the sound rules, and the 5 bonus videos, (work it out, Slang, all I want is everything, promises, goodbye), round out a great def leppard collection. Historia contains earlier versions of videos and my personal favorite leppard song video, Rock Rock, which was only released in Japan on video, and on historia for our viewing pleasure. So, must have for the Leppard fans, check it out, great value too here on amazon. Also pick up the Visualize/VideoArchive DVD to round out the Leppard DVD collection, and don't forget the Rock Of Ages DVD.

Def Leppard - Historia/In the Round, In Your Face.......2007-01-26

If you are a fan of Def, you will want to add this DVD to your collection. It has most all of the old MTV videos and live concert footage. We are quite pleased with this purchase. Wish there was more video/concert footage from the Def of old, so if anyone knows of any other out there, place a post. Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Joe Elliot needs to go back to the dark hair? I always thought that he looked better before he started dying the hair. Just my opinion. Also, anyone that can drum with one arm is pretty darn impressive. A DEFinite must see!!

Great DVD.......2007-01-20

Great DVD for the true Def Leppard Fan..a must have for your collection!

You haven't heard Queen's greatest hits until you've experienced them in surround sound on Greatest Video Hits 1. Disc 1 includes 16 of Queen's most popular singles, restored and remixed in 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS, and the results are nothing less than spectacular. Reformatted for widescreen TVs, Queen's early videos are visually basic (typically combining lip-synched band footage with concert performance clips), but they effectively chronicle the group's musical and stylistic evolution, and "Bicycle Race" includes previously unseen footage of an all-nude female bicycle race! (Optional commentary is provided for all videos by guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, with archival quotes from the late Freddie Mercury and bassist John Deacon.)

Disc 2, while not remixed, features six excellent videos (including the previously unseen "Liar"), and a hidden, alternate-edit video of "Bohemian Rhapsody" originally seen on Britain's Top of the Pops (and accessible by entering "Title 10, Chapter 1" on your DVD remote). "Bohemian Rhapsody" is the obvious highlight of both discs, and its history (both audio and video) is thoroughly explored, including May's fascinating deconstruction of the song's original studio recording tracks. Mandatory viewing for Queen fans, Video Hits 1 will leave you begging for Video Hits 2. --Jeff Shannon

a stellar compilation of 70's Queen classics.......2006-08-17

This is a very thorough collection of Queen promo videos from the first eight Queen albums. The bonus live footage and previously unseen gallery of photographs are especially worth the price of admission. The 5.1 surround sound mix doesn't hurt either!

Great product, but poor videos.......2005-12-30

As other people have said, the audio quality is really excellent, but the videos themselves are just in so many cases horrible. It makes a big deal about how they've been painstakingly restored, but some of them look worse than those old videos they show in junior high science classes. That doesn't mean that they're not entertaining, though. It is cool to watch the progression of the band from their hair days to the mustache days, but a lot of the videos just look bad or aren't very impressive to begin with. Sometimes lip-synching just doesn't work out the way you plan it! The video for "Spread Your Wings" is really fun to watch, though. It was shot in freezing weather, and you can tell from the faces that Roger and John make that they just want to wrap it up and get inside. On the second disc there are extra videos, along with a featurette about the making of "Bohemian Rhapsody." It's quite fascinating to listen to Brian talk and talk about all the different overdubs they did in the song! All in all, it's definitely worth buying, but make no mistake: if you have GVH 2 already and are expecting the same, don't. The video quality is just so much poorer, but if you can get past that then it's a treasure trove of Queen!

Great Version of the VHS Tape, and Extra Material.......2005-10-12

This Double DVD set is a superb version of the VHS tape I played to death. The Picture IS better, as well as the Audio. The HUGE difference is that the full Music Video plays, and the savage edits done by the "Torpedo Twins" are not used; this makes for a great set of QUEEN music videos... complete in all respects.
Disc two has some live extras that have previously only been available on the VHS tape called RARE LIVE, dating from 1973 onwards.
Add this together with the commentary, and the superbly detailed documentary of the Making of BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY and all things related, and it is a brilliant set. Hopefully many of the other commercially available VHS tapes will be brought to DVD, and this will allow a set of awesome QUEEN concert footage, and with any luck the 1976 HYDE PARK concert should be on DVD, if the BBC will release the tapes.

The early videos dont really help the music.......2005-09-15

Queen's music is much stronger than their early videos. Most were poorly produced, or they used technology that severely dated the material. Most of the videos here have not been cleaned up and, quite frankly, look awful on modern televisions. And, since the videos are not groundbreaking or relevant to their music, they don't really matter much.

With that said, it is still an interesting look into how the band changed over the years, and its a chance to hear some great songs that never get airplay (such as Spread Your Wings). The commentary is good at times, but at others it is simply boring. In addition, it appears Roger and Brian did the commentary, while old interview clips from John are just dropped in... as if he were sitting there commenting too.

Perhaps the most distracting thing about this DVD is the main menu and the painful way you have to scroll through each song before you get to the one you want.

Queen - Greatest Video Hits 1.......2005-08-18

Back in October 2002, I first bought this dvd. I was in awe when I watched it. To me it was pretty rare. At that time I had been a Queen fan for about a almost 2 years. I thought this was really excellent. But then I went on the internet and there are so much more rare videos. Like the early videos from the actually good albums.
I've only seen a few pictures of the videos, but they are pretty good. What the creators of this dvd should do is make a dvd with all the complete videos. That's a 5 disc collection, that would rock. They should also officaly release the Queen concerts. Instead of all these bootlegs and everything. Well all in all I'll give this 4/5 stars. They have the main videos, but not a lot of the early ones. Long live Queen.
