 | YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER PEOPLE.THIS CONCERT IS FROM 1985 NOT 2005!
THIS CONCERT IS WHEN PEOPLE USED TO KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
AND THAT'S WHAT RICK SPRINGFIELD WAS ALL ABOUT;REMEMBER THE WORD "ENTERTAINMENT".
LIVED AS AN ACTOR;AND GOT THE LADIES!
LIVED AS A ROCK STAR;AND GOT THE LADIES!
[THE AMERICAN DREAM]
AND DID IT IN THE BEST DECADE OF ALL THE 80'S!
WATCH THE CONCERT AND REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE A FAN OF HIS AT ONE TIME AND WANTED TO GO TO HIS CONCERT{ADMIT IT}
YOU OWNED THE ALBUM "WORKING CLASS DOG" {ADMIT IT}
AND DROVE AROUND IN YOUR 1985 CAMERO OR TRANS AM SINGING JESSIE'S GIRL {ADMIT IT}
TO PUT IT IN A NUTSHELL:EVEN THOUGH IT IS 2005.ANY TIME YOU PUT IN THIS DVD.AND TURN UP THE VOLUME IT IS 1985 AGAIN IF ONLY FOR AN HOUR.
YOU CAN STILL SEE HIM IN CONCERT.JUST LIKE YOU CAN STILL SEE
BON JOVI.BUT THE 1985 SHOW WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN THE 2005 SHOW.THEY TRIED ALOT MORE BACK THEN.TO GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY'S WORTH FOR YOUR TICKET PRICE.
SO BUY THIS DVD AND OWN A CONCERT OF A PERSON WHO WAS THE IDOL OF MILLION'S BECAUSE OF T.V. AND RECORD'S IN THE 80'S.

| Vonda Mills wrote a review not even worth reading.She evidently doesnt have a clue.This performance is Spectacular and there is nothing pathetic about the 80's.The music scene was so inventive and diverse,a time period which will be truly missed.Rick rips through all his greatest hits with bursting energy and his backing band is top notch.The video effects are cutting edge for the time.Rick was and always will be a pop rock icon. |

| This is the second of two concerts that Rick taped for cable in the eighties and,unfortunately it is not the better of the two.
The earlier "live and kicking" showcased Rick at his best,
whereas this performance is marred by a Director's "vision"
Shot as a "piece" rather than a concert,it is filled with atmosphere and ambiance--both of which serve only to slow the performance and misrepresent his skills as a live performer!
I'm sure that it all looked great on paper in 1985,but after "HARD TO HOLD" Rick needed to exercise a bit more caution in his project selection.
Own it if you must,But for a much more accurate representation of Rick at his on stage best get the new "ALIVE" DVD and strap in! |

| A big one. This is very old. It is representative of what was so pathetic and tacky about the 80s. I was not sure what he was doing writhing on the ground like that. He may have been possessed by an unseen evil(he did date Linda Blair for a short while) or was feeling the effects of some type of social disease that was so prevalent in the pre aids 80s... But who knows,who cares?? This was the eighties at it's worst. This is for die hard fans only or for someone wanting an 80s flash back. Just keep the remote handy as this is something that can only be enjoyed in small (very small)doses. Did I love it? NO! But Rick loves himself enough for the both of us. So who cares?? |
