I remember seeing Carman April 2, 2001 on his Heart of a Champion tour! I loved it! I wasn't familiar with Carman or Christian music back then, but he put on an amazing show! I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart that night! Having this DVD reminded me of what amazing music Carman has and it truly does reach young people! Anyone who buys this DVD will not be sorry! Carman' performance blew me away!

This is a great CD compilation of MJ's early solo work!
You are reminded of what a genius and child prodigy he was!
The way he delivers a lyric with such passion and knowingness,
though he was only a preteen on alot of this material..is amazing!
This was some of the music in which I cut my musical teeth on
as a singer!--I won my 3rd Grade talent show (1972) singing
"Got To Be There" to a standing ovation! (-:
I can remember when Michael and his brothers, The Jackson 5,
debuted on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1969 when I was 5 yrs old.
He made such an impression on millions, irregardless of race
or socio-economic class, that they were catapulted to
superstardom overnight, and the rest, as they say, is history!
There are the great early solo hits of his:
"Ben", "I Wanna Be Where You Are", "Maria ( You Were The Only One)",
"Got To Be There", etc., as well as great album cuts like
"Ain't No Sunshine", "People Make The World Go Round",
"Dear Michael" and others that really take me back to those
magical childhood days when I spent hours between the speakers
learning every syllable and inflection of Michael's voice to a tee!
Of course, a few years later, my voice changed and I couldn't hit
those notes in a full-throated natural anymore..I had to switch
to falsetto! (-: But Michael's beautiful, rich, other-worldly
tone and range was one of my first vocal teachers.
Now that he's passed away, his music means so much more to me.
I saw him come from nowhere, a young prodigy of immeasurable
and unprecedented talent who became a superstar at age 11,
then on to a teenaged star with his family on a weekly TV
variety show, to selling millions of records with the albums
"The Jacksons, "Destiny" and "Triumph", to his role as
the Scarecrow in "The Wiz"...then there was his transcendent
jump to mega-stardom with "Off The Wall" (1979),
"Thriller"(1982), "Bad" (1987), "Dangerous" (1991), etc.

No matter what anyone may have to say negatively about
him today, Michael Jackson was an innovator,
a true talent, groundbreaker, and a worldwide icon!--Bar None!!
Many entertainers, like myself, cut their musical teeth on
his work and went on to have very lucrative careers because of it!
REST IN PEACE MICHAEL!!--Thank you for all that you were!
His musical legacy will live on forever!

This is a great book! I always enjoyed watching him on "Mikael's navy" when I was a kid. I was amazed as I got older he never seem to age. So when he died and I believe 95 it was very sad. But this book brings back many fun memories for him and the reader! I highly recommend it!

This playing in the Background as I type. It is just surreal that I can relive seeing Kraftwerk Live, in 2004, at Coachella. The biggest bonus for me, going to that festival ! I have been a fan since the 70's. My Dad, introduced them to me as a teen, and they have been with me since. I will play this over and over. Love the selection !  Love the sound and video quality. I am glad I am not the only one with an errant disc label. Disc 1 is 2. Disc 2 is 1. That will save me from trying to sell it for a bajillion bucks on Ebay as Super Rare ! I would have loved some more "Behind the Podium" shots to see just what goes on back there. I will assume it is a flurry of hands punching keys, twisting dials and clicking of mice ! Also missing are a few David Lee Roth high kicks by Ralf and jumping off a stack of speakers by Florian ! Wouldn't that be sweet !

I have seen Curtis Mayfield perform on a number of occasions in Baltimore, Maryland. I remember his starting with the Impressions with Jerry Butler and later taking his place as the lead singer. He has always been one of my favorite entertainers. He was a true poet and humanitarian and spoke out against racial injustice early in his career. And this performance he gives on this dvd is nothing short of his exceptional ability to play and sing real music.

It galls me that Nureyev is not as well-remembered as he should be.  Baryshnikov deserves his fame, but Nureyev led the way, breaking the old mold that kept male dancers in the background.  I believe our acceptance and ascent of strong male dancers even in the hip hop and music video worlds began with this charismatic genius, who stole the show just by walking onstage.  But his magic didn't end at mere stage presence--the man moved in mysterious and inimitable ways, and when he leapt...he stopped your heart and stole your breath.  It's hard to watch him in this particular video because he is only months away from passing away, and you can see he's struggling to be brave.  But the excerpts from his most celebrated dances are wonderful and he tells his own story with a Puckish twinkle that makes the words come alive.  If you really love dance...buy this DVD, in remembrance of one of the greatest dancers, ever.

This DVD has a bunch of great songs!  The sound quality is good and the performance is fun to watch.  I only wish he could have played every song from every album!

This is a "tie" in of all the classics from the popular CBD show. It includes the Barbra Streisand tracks. Pure entertainment. Judy and Barbra belting as one, one of the best memories".
This CD is full of laughter, tears, and happiness.
The quality is excellent. The best I've ever heard. Hipp-o did wonders. The old "The Judy Garland Show" Stanyon records CD tracks have terorable quality and the "Judy" boxed set isn't that great iether. This is crystal clear.
From television studios in Hollywood...Here's Judy!

This awesome concert was recorded back in September of 1984 in Buenos Aires, Argentina by Ivan Lins along with Pedro Aznar, Luis Alberto Spinetta and Leon Gieco; the original LP release in 1984 was at the lowest issue of only 1,000 copies; so if you didn't get it back then, this seems your only chance to get your hands on a true piece of history, and a masterpiece that is.

It was said that Pedro Aznar was recording with David Bowie around the time of the concert, and decided to put on hold that recording, just to be in this concert with Maestrisimo Ivan Lins.
For years there had been a debate whether who sang better Ivan's song (Setembro = September) if Ivan Lins originally on his 1980 CD Novo Tempo or Pedro Aznar in 1982, and here both of them join forces and sing an astounding version of Ivan's jewel.

Here, needless to say Ivan sings in Spanish besides his natural Portuguese, and even talks to the fired-up audience in a very acceptable Spanish; we had listened to Ivan sing one or two songs in Spanish in previous albums, but here his super talent is evident in a magnificent way; a true artist, a true star.

This one is perhaps one of Ivan's hardest CDs to find -if not the hardest-, even Ivan has considered this concert one of his ten best events in his career.

A w e s o m e!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot recommend it anymore!!!!!!

P.S. Inside the cover, Ivan says:
" This concert of 1984 was an incredible experience. Wonderful, exciting. We were all crying...I would place that concert like one of the ten most important moments of my career as an artist. That's why I remember it so much".

Getting inside the life of famous people is intriguing to me, and this is a great opportunity to learn about one of my all-time favorite entertainers.  Enjoyed reading the old routines and taking a trip down memory lane from Bob's viewpoint.  Thanks, Bob, for sharing your life with us!

If you like Tony's voice on a studio album, then this is your chance to hear for yourself that the original, raw product is even better! There is nothing like Tony on stage. His voice becomes even stronger, more powerful  and full of feeling! Whether he sings his own songs or this absolutely  fantastic version of Red Hot Chili Pepper's Under The Bridge, Tony reveals  himself as a true artist, and one that has learnt to make the best out of  his talent. The CD is good fun, rocky, with a great atmosphere, and we  cannot help but envy those who were present at the recording. A jolly good  buy, if you ask me!

I so enjoyed hearing those short live performances on American Idol in high quality. The purity and beauty of his voice, and the way the crowd went crazy! It's a nice intro to those unfamiliar with his vocal artistry; and it's a nice reminder, sometimes, not to watch and hear him sing, but to just listen.  Although he's got it all, it's his amazing instrument, that amazing voice, that slays me. Great buy!

For me this DVD brings back a lot of memories.  In 2002 I moved to the east coast and just happened to take a computer job that was a few doors down from the World Gym where this is filmed.  And I just could not believe the luck - Levrone has been my favorite bodybuilder overall (after Arnold) ever since I started following different pros in magazines like Muscle & Fitness, and I never dreamed I would not only join the gym he owns, but actually get to know him somewhat (he's a really cool, humble guy).  And World Gym is still one of my all-time favorite training environments, too, very raw and basic with a lot of focus on iron and not as much on the fitness dilettantes that fill the marble palaces we train in today (e.g. Lifetime).  Too bad that all good things come to an end, as Kevin moved to Hollywood to pursue acting, and his World Gym is now some kind of facility for boxers or MMA or something.

What really blows me away still is not only his amazing physique with the most perfect proportions I've ever seen (at least by my eye for aesthetics), but he's FREAKING STRONG.  I used to think it was incredible to watch him do 405 on incline bench for 6 reps... but I'd never seen him do 405 for *shoulder press behind the head* (on the Smith machine, but come on, that's unbelievable).  His delts and traps look like a gigantic manta ray or something.

You also see and hear a lot from his co-owners who also prepare his meals for him - plates and plates of meat and veggies that make me hungry every time I watch.  It was very interesting to hear them discuss the expense of the food it takes to be Kevin's size and condition - even when buying in bulk it's quite astonishing.

You may need to set your TV to display this in the old aspect ratio of 4:3 to avoid everything looking too stretched wide.  Other than that, sit back and enjoy - you'll see all the exercises for different areas of the body but the video does move along so it's only one disc of less than 2 hours.  Kevin's band also is featured with many tracks included in the background as he trains.

A classic performance with Jimi at his best! Disc 2 is a never-before-seen (by me anyway) black and white sort of home camera behind the scenes version of his entire appearance. The footage is professional grade. Very nice indeed. Jimi at Woodstock is an experience for those who wonder how good he was and a trip down memory lane for us who know. This double disc is a must for any music lover who wants a record of just how music got to where it is today. 5 very high stars!

This is an outstanding collection of tracks recorded by Nick Lucas from 1955 to 1980. The sound quality is excellent, even though a few of the cuts were taken from vinyl because the original master tapes no longer survive. I enjoyed the new versions of several songs he originally recorded for Brunswick in the late 1920's, including "Brown Eyes, Why are You Blue?" His previously un-released 1964 update of Bing's "Can't We Talk it Over?" is another highlight.

Perhaps the most remarkable track is the final one, "The Magic Waltz." Recorded in Rancho Mirage shortly before his death, I was amazed at the strength and quality of his voice, especially given the fact that he was 83 years old at the time! I got a lump in my throat listening to this recording.

Nick Lucas was truly a great entertainer, and it's a pity that he did not record more throughout the last 30 years of his career. As these recordings will show, he was as good as ever during this period. Buy this CD - you will not be disappointed!
