DVD Reviews of Greatest Hits [Region 2]
DVD Review: The Supremes' Magic Captured Live
Summary: 4 Stars
We re-watched this DVD last night that I'd purchased in 2007, and I decided to look up what reviews there were. I agree it's great to have it and to see captured the essence of the magic that made The Supremes (not nickpicking here on which incarnation -- simply referring to the group as an entity overall) unique, excellent, prepared and original in what they did and how they presented it.
I've read that pop music history has more recently downplayed the significance of The Supremes' success and place in the medium. I disagree. I was watching this vid and, again, I realized I was viewing three performers still in just their twenties, and realizing that which they made look so effortless, poised, sophisticated, energetic, mature and flawless meant there was that much more proportionate hard work and rehearsing put into it. Here, Cindy, Mary and Diana perform professionally far beyond what their then-ages would normally have hinted at...think about all their musical genre peers in the late 1960s, in and out of soul music, at that time.. I was struck how when The Supremes at their height of success were live on TV or in concert, theirs wasn't a girl group presenting a performance: rather, they were a musical act sort of performing like a Broadway show presentation, complete with segue lines, gestures, choreography, costuming, arrangements, and personas all planned and set. Maybe we need more of that in today's all-too-impromptu (and sometimes undertalented or unprepared) young musical artists.
Me, too -- I wish this had been in color -- but that's OK, it lets today's music fans see what made The Supremes in concert SPECIAL. Every part of their group, performance, and image intertwined and was equally important in making the act successful and unique overall. Cindy's visual warmness, Mary's beauty and personality, and Diana's talented leading vocals and charisma just blended so well. They came onstage and were real acting pros: if we only knew, later on, how much that onstage acting ability came into play based on the turmoil that went on in the group back- and off-stage.. ;)
As one previous reviewer petitioned, I agree that hopefully -- now, in this "Motown 50" year -- we'll see the suits presently overseeing the Motown label's assets releasing, finally and mercifully for us fans, some boxed set that can present the restored and complete other Supremes specials in which they co-starred such as Anatomy of Pop, TCB and GIT. Motown worked hard for and earned The Supremes, and in turn they did the same with their success. We fans, who underlined all this happening for them, ultimately most deserve a positive response to this request of ours!
The special played well enough on my Vivo-brand DVD, and I agree that the bonus Flo/Supremes '64 footage was fun. (Now I know where maybe Diana got the idea for the Boeing 747-distance stageing between her and Lynda and Scherrie for RTL 2000 -- you could've fit a couple of sets of Marvelettes or Velvelettes between Ross and Wilson & Ballard in that '64 stage performance. :-)
DVD Review: SUPREMES
Summary: 3 Stars
THIS PROGRAM WAS RECORDED IN 1968 AFTER FLO LEFT THE GROUP SO WHY WOULD THEY PLACE AN EARLIER PHOTOGRAPH ON THE COVER./the show is in black and white but still very dramatic and much better than the reflections Dvd.it would have been great if there had been footage from backstage, maybe there is somewhere. this is a must have dvd.DVD Review: Never better
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the pleasure of seeing Diana, Mary, and Cindy perform at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago during their last concert tour together in the fall of 1969. Seeing this fantastic DVD brings back the thrill of that evening. The show they perform here is basically the same one as the one on The Talk of The Town album - and it is wonderful to actually SEE the gals perform it live. (The concert that I saw in 1969 had a different run-down in songs - more like the Farewell album). This DVD did not play on any of my US DVD players - but luckily I have a multi-Region player - and it plays fine on it. As others have mentioned, it is in black and white - but the quality is very good - and it is a rare gem. I highly recommend it!DVD Review: Ripped Off!
Summary: 1 Stars
When I ordered this DVD last Christmas there was NO warning about it being a Region 2 and therefore incompatible with my DVD player! This was a big disappointment because there are NO other full concert versions of The Supremes or Diana Ross and the Supremes available for purchase on DVD! Why can't this be remastered and released on a normal DVD that fans can purchase and enjoy? There were several concerts of the Supremes that were filmed - including their 2 television specials with the Temptations - "TCB" and "On Broadway" - both in color - that could be released as a boxed set. Motown/MCA should be ashamed of themselves for sitting on a gold mine and depriving fans of seeing Diana Ross and the Supremes live in concert! DVD Review: Supremes Greatest Hits on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent Concert. Eventhough it is filmed in black & white, not color. Also it is Diana Ross & the Supremes, not The Supremes. False advertising thru the person selling but even excellent in black & white. Shame not in color. Not the greatest hits, but once again a excellent concert!!!.I reccommend it to any supremes fan. 99% word for word as the CD, Diana Ross & The Supremes "Live At London's Talk Of The Town". Purchase it and enjoy!!
Vince!!.A die heart fan!!.from way back!!!
