Summary: Lotsa Roger, but the rest?
Review: Supertramp fans are in for a real treat with Hodgson performing several of the band's biggest hits. The magic is still there, folks. But one song only for Greg Lake and Ian Hunter? Both are rock icons and deserving of a little more attention. Can't deny this is one nice package of artists for viewers who have a fondness for classic rock.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This DVD is great Fun
Review: This concert DVD is great fun. I've seen another version of the All-Starr band live and really enjoyed it. On this DVD Ringo is more prominant in the mix when he's drumming and sounds great. The Sheila E. solo spot is great, as are all the solo spots.

If you're looking for high art this isn't it. What it is is a fun band to watch.

P.S. If you like this DVD you'll love the other Greatest Hits of the All-Star Band DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT!--but where's the rest of it?
Review: This disc would have gotten five stars, had the whole wonderful show been included and put in the correct order. This was a fantastic tour, why in the world would they cut half of it out and put it in a blender? If there ever consistently is an over 2 hour show that just flies by, it's an All-Starr Band show. Every one of them has been great fun to see and hear, and this show was one of the best. The biggest omissions from my view are the rest of Greg Lake's songs, and not showing the dueling drum solos between Sheila and Ringo. Ringo NEVER did drum solos, but Sheila brought it out on this tour--how could anyone cut that out? Ringo's drumming was inspired more than it has been in decades on this tour (prodded by Sheila I think) it's a shame so much of it was left on the cutting room floor...

The other small complaint I have with this is the rear 5.1 sound mix has too much echo and delay to be mixed as loud as it is. On some of the songs that became a distraction, which is something you should never be noticing at all. It may not bother any of you, and is still a more exciting listen than the stereo mix.

Don't think twice about buying this disc though, what is here is very enjoyable. If it sells enough, who knows, maybe we can get all the old shows put out--complete please--on DVD too. That other All-Starr Best of DVD is a nice preview to what is sitting in the vaults somewhere. The complete All-Starr Gary Brooker version was out on VHS, why not DVD? How about it, you studio business types out there, start giving the people what they want on DVD! And stop cutting up great shows! Anyone that wants to buy a concert video, wants the whole show, its as simple as that. Why is it such a foreign concept to these companies? They just keep feeding us half-baked releases over and over again, when they have all the ingedients for REALLY tastey releases still sitting in the cupboards.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: [Knock off]
Review: Very poor sound quality, sounds like old kerokee songs, one worst than the other... the video quality and production is a joke ...
