Summary: WHEN GREAT ARTISTS LISTEN TO BAD DIRECTORS...
Review: 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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Performance
Review: This performance had nothing to do with the 80s... just go see one of his concerts today. He's just as energetic and vibrant as he's been for over 20 years.

I dunno what that other person was referring to, but Rick was not "crawling around" as if to compare to some of today's bubble-gum pop princess-types... he would get down on the stage to get closer to the fans. And there was nothing like a "middle finger" in the manner that viewer conveyed.

This concert is good clean fun with a playlist full of memorable songs performed by the man that made them great. Good light show, good special effects, and it even incorporates some videos fo the "Tao" release. It's been a long time coming and it's worth the wait.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Class Act All The Way!
Review: 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.
