Summary: Not bad.
Review: I recently purchased this DVD while out looking for some different music releases. Admittedly, the only song I was familiar with was "Take My Breath Away" as I am a huge fan of the motion picture Top Gun. Anyway, I found this to be a quite entertaining DVD purchase. While it's not quite what I was expecting for a concert video, Terri Nunn's vocals (not to mention her unbelievable beauty) more than made up for any shortcomings this disk may suffer from (at least for me). Overall, I recommend giving this DVD a chance.

Summary: Decent DVD of a great band...
Review: I'm not sure why everyone seems to be giving this such poor reviews... I didn't have any problems with the audio or picture quality. The dvd is a lot more stripped down and basic feeling then the releases of more well known acts that are flooding the market today but it is hardly "amateurish." I saw Berlin for the first time this past October and was totally blown away by Terri's stage presence. There seem to be less and less performers out there today who truly seem to love what they do and have the massive talent to back up their efforts. Terri is one of those talented (wow, can she sing!) and charismatic few who can truly and honestly connect with her audience. This dvd did a fairly good job of capturing what the band sounds like live. The only performance here I didn't truly enjoy was their cover of Marilyn Manson's "The Dope Show" which I thought disrupted the flow and feel of the performance that was captured for this particular show --I have no idea why there were scantily clad hired dancers prancing around the stage with Terri and her backup vocalist. But I still enjoyed it very much and consider it a great buy for both casual and hardcore Berlin fans.

Summary: This DVD is better then a sleeping pill
Review: Last night I sat down to see Berlin. A bang from the 80s. I still have the old VHS Berlin videos tape! I first noticed that the entire setup looked like it was in a garage or as someone else put it, a basement. The crowd was NOT a representation of Berlins fan base. I don't see the 18-22 year old crowd, all in excellent shape, except the front row, being Berlins fan base. It looked very staged. The audience was so well behaved that you had to keep taking notice. Now the music... First off, when she did "The Dope Show" I almost fell off my chair. It was fingernails on the chalkboard. Her other songs were "satisfactory" at best. To sum it up this video was very staged to the point where it is cold. She could have done a much better job in performing. Considering that she has been doing this since Jimmy Carter was in office. If you are thinking about buying this video then you should be a dedicated Berlin fan who would watch anything that they put out regardless of content. If you are not the above then be forewarned.

Summary: Fantastic!!!!!!
Review: Nobody loves to sing more than Terri, and it comes across in this DVD. Both her and the band put forth a spirited show, playing both old and new material. The video is flawless, but the backing vocals are buried in the mix for some reason. A great video for both longtime fans as well as newcomers to the band. Highly recomended.

Summary: Audio Quality is criminally bad. Nunn deserved better.
Review: Others have written full reviews so I will just add one warning to potential buyers-- the quality of the sound engineering work is absolutely shameful. Unforgivable. Nunn's voice is muffled and horribly compressed and, unfortunatley, the better your system the WORST it will sound. Trust me. This beautiful performer, and her bandmates, deserved so much more. Go ahead and purchase if, like myself, you are a big fan-- I am certainly going to keep my copy unless a well-recorded Berlin concert DVD comes out.... just know what you are getting. Good Luck!

Summary: Great live show will= great live DVD...
Review: The shows rock harder than you assume a band known for "80s snyth pop" would. Terri's voice live is incredible and is an underrated singer. I was literally dragged to the show,expecting to see a washed up band. What I got was a band that sounded potent and current, with Terri putting on a show with unbelievable energy and charisma, who looks like she was cyrogenically frozen in 1988 and released yesterday. Go to the show if you don't believe me. The DVD is going to be "Storytellers" style, and doing some of the songs acoustic (it actually works) with the original members.

Summary: Average Release. Some Ups and Downs.
Review: This DVD release by the band probably best known for Take My Breath Away from the Top Gun Soundtrack has some pluses and minuses. As far as the positives, lead singer and sole remaining original member Terri Nunn looks as great as ever. The set list is a good representation of the bands output and the musicians are fairly good. As far as the other, I have to disagree with the reviewer who thought there were 15 people in the audience. I think it was actually around 20. The audience for the most part looked like a bunch of aspiring models around 20 years old which would have put most of them in pre-school when Berlin had its heyday so I doubt they grew up being fans. The audience did seem to come alive though during the second song, The Metro, which is one of the band's more rocking numbers. You could almost hear the audience saying, "Hey, these guys are pretty good. What's their name again?" As far as the sound mix I didn't experience the volume changes that some other reviewers described but I listened to it on the DTS 5.1 mix and maybe the problems were on the Dolby Tracks. I did think the overall mix could have used some improving though, especially the drums. Although most of the drums sounded ok, when the drummer hit the one Tom Tom in the front it sounded like he was hitting a plastic trash can. Overall, if you are a Berlin fan I would recommend to consider adding this to your collection but if not your money will probably be better spent elsewhere. Hopefully the band will consider putting out another live concert release in front of their own fans and maybe include their 80's videos as an extra.
