DVD Reviews of FELA In Concert
DVD Review: Fela In Concert
Summary: 1 Stars
Another terrible Kuti video! He and son Fema are great musicians with great bands but, I have videos of both and they both suck! This one is supposed to be remastered but has bad sound, bad video, and bad content. Look for them on eBay. I won't watch them again! DVD Review: Very poor product despite a great show
Summary: 2 Stars
Horrible mix and very poor images for an unbelievable and legendary performance in Paris I had the chance to attend.
This video makes me angry !
DVD Review: Fela Rules!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Fela in Concert DVD was a fantastic find. My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough (1hr in length). However, I couldn't stop dancing around in my living room to Fela's infectious "AfroBeat".DVD Review: NEED MORE..
Summary: 5 Stars
We owned this on VHS when it came out the sound quality wasn't exactly the greatest but hey if you never got to see him in concert before he past this might be a treasure. I personally would like for someone to put out another concert performance of his that's top to bottom straight up concert footage, perferably during the era with Tony Allen but that might prove to be difficult. I was fortunate to see him before he past in the late 80's once in Seattle Washington and once here in my home town both shows were effective and both were over two hours although it seemed like only 3 tracks were played. They were long sustaining and seductive grooves that hypnotized you much the way is music does on studio sessions except he was there in your face.. wicked!!! Lets hope that somewhere out there there's a vault and in that vault contains some rare unseen concert footage of this very intense, passionate and talented individual. T.DVD Review: Not flawless, but vintage Fela
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't be put off by the negative reviews of others: this is a unique document of a unique man and musician. This is the correct track listing:
1. Movement of the People Political Statement Number One
2. Army Arrangement
3. Power Show
True, it's not without its flaws: it's not quite up to DVD standard soundwise, though the camerawork is pretty decent. The worst thing is that you're not getting the entire songs outside of Army Arrangement. Power Show has no vocals and if you have the Live in Amsterdam CD Movement of the People Political Statement Number One was a lot longer with Fela doing his famous "underground spiritual gear". It's a shame this was left out, as I suspect it was. The best thing about this DVD is the close-up shots of Fela's amazing dancing wives during Army Arrangement. The other Fela DVD available which is at present very hard to get called Fela Live focuses too much on Fela and less on his dancing wives though it has better sound quality. And if you ask yourself which of the two you should buy. True fans should buy both.

Description of FELA In Concert
This extraordinary DVD features Nigeria s explosively charismatic superstar, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, at his very best in this historic concert DVD, entitled Fela in Concert, recorded live in Paris in 1981. Fela was not only the most celebrated African musician & composer of his time, but a revolutionary, cultural, and political symbol whose contributions were often overlooked in the Western world. This historic show was recorded in Paris in 1981 during an exclusive, all-night concert. Punctuated by the exotic and suggestive tribal dances and rituals performed on stage by 15 of Fela s wives, this exceptional event was captured by multiple cameras, enhancing this special DVD presentation!General DVDs
