Summary: SMOKEY AT HIS BEST!
Review: "Smokey Robinson - The Greatest Hits Live", in my opinion, is truly Smokey Robinson at his best! I am so pleased with this video, I can hardly put it away - I can't stop watching it! If you're like me and have never had the opportunity to see Smokey in concert, but only on T.V. programs, then this video is for you! As a 28-year old songwriter, it was great to see my inspiration enjoying himself so much. Reminisce with Smokey as he glides back to yesteryear with songs such as "You've Really Got A Hold On Me", "Tracks of My Tears", and "I Second That Emotion". And wait until you hear the soul-stirring, heart-pounding rendition of "Ooh Baby Baby". You will LOVE it! On his way back to the present where he showcases songs from his "Double Good Everything" CD, he stops by such hits as "Being With You" and "Save the Best for Last". He pays tribute to some of his favorite songwriters as well as artists that he's written for. He lets loose an array of emotions in this video and youreally feel like you're right there on stage with him! He also announces for the first time to the public something that obviously hurt him very much. So come experience the sultry, silky style of the love master himself - Mr. William "Smokey" Robinson. I did! And, ooh, baby baby - I'm glad I did!

Summary: More than you know......
Review: And more than can be said about this man... THE MAN! Smokey may have aged as all of us who love him and his music, but he still can "wow" any of us. His voice, after he woke up (smile), cleared up and held up throughout the entire concert. His voice was simply unbelievable and powerful on the ballards. "More Than You Know" and "I Love Your Face" were so powerful and romantic that they can be used as "mood music". Smokey was and is a premier entertainer who has stood the test of time. I have had this video for over a year and I still love it! It is so good to have great music performed by a great entertainer! As a life long lover of this man and his music, I recommend this video/dvd for any of us who still love music we can understand and that makes sense and fosters love and romance. I only regret that there are not more like this one by this man. I had the opportunity to see him perform live again recently... in Memphis and in Philadelphia, MS... The Man Has Got It Going On!

Summary: Don't waste your money...
Review: Don't waste your money on this DVD. Yes, Smokey gave us great songs, but in this Live DVD he sounded like he had a sore throat. And the audience was BORING..get the CD when he was in his prime. TRUST ME. His singing on this DVD is horrible.

Summary: Awsome DVD
Review: Having seen Smokey in concert, I can tell you that this video is the next best thing to being there. It fully capturesd the excitment of his performance. It also captured the personality of this most gracious man. I had the pleasure of meeting him back stage after his show and he is a gentle, very gracious, and humble man. This is a must have video/DVD. I often buy a concert video after seeing a performer. This was the first one that actually captured the high energy and spirit of the performer. Don't pass this one up. It is way too great to miss.

Summary: Motown Reveiw,'99
Review: Hello, my name is Bobby. I'm a long time fan of the Motown sound. My favorites just happen to be Smokey and the Temptations, especially the late Mr. Eddie Kendricks. I haven;t had the opportunity to reveiw this video, actually I was curious if Smokey would ever come to my area again to do a live performance, Washinton D.C., I would love to reveiw this video. I will definetly keep my eyes pealed out for this one. Oh by the way, doesn't Smokey have a new cut out now ? p.s. I recently a the pleasure to see Gladys Knight, along with the Temptations at the Constitution Hall; pleasant suprise . . .

Review: I have been a Smokey fan for many many years.I have a very large collection of Smokey's music. Over the years, I've been able to obtain his music from the beginning of his career with Motown. I had the pleasure of seeing Smokey perform in Pennsylvania. His concert was fantastic. His voice is unique, no-one can imitate his smooth style. Several months ago, I watched his performance on VHS(Smokey's Greatest Hits Live) performed in Las Vegas at the Desert Inn and I can truly say that his singing mesmerized me. It gives you the feeling that every song he sings is directed to you personally. I also have on DVD his Standing Room Only concert live from Atlantic City, New Jersey. Both are a must have. Smokey you are LEGEND of all time. We Californians' are truly blessed to have SMOKEY on one of our local radio stations, Let's get INTIMATE with SMOKEY. Love Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: SIMPLY THE "BEST"
Review: I have been a Smokey fan since the sixties when he came on the
scene.The think what they did at Motown back then will never be
duplicated in any shape, form or fashion. Since Motown will not release footage of concerts from their former acts...it was really great to get this DVD. I play it all day on weekends and his CD's everyday on my way to work. I saw Smokey Robinson at the Resorts International in Atlantic City June 7, 2003 and he
still got it. His voice gets better with age and so does he. You
feel like you are the only person in the concert hall. I wish there were more concerts of his on DVD, I have the other one too.
Keep doing what you do BEST...Simply the Best.

Review: I have followed Smokey's career for many years. Watching this DVD certainly brought back memories of great times. This is a "must see" concert and I got to tell you, "Smokey is still the man" and he does an outstanding job on this night. You won't be disappointed and I certainly was not disappointed. I watch concerts every friday night in my home as a great stress reliever. This concert was a great addition to my collection. Buy it and enjoy. I bought it and I am enjoying it very much.
