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. :-)
