Rating: Summary: MAZE IS... AMAZING!!! Review: After viewing several of their shows in New Orleans, including many Essence Music Festival appearences, this DVD is an example of the group's powerful following. Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly delivers true soul, exceptional vocals, refulgent lyrical expression, and instrumental harmony pleasing to both 'old schoolers' and 'generation x-ers'.With all conviction, I believe that Maze has broken the boundary of both written and musical interpertation in Soul & R&B. Pop in the DVD, grab your favorite bevarage, move the coffee table, and prepare yourself for one helluva party. Jon jon@radio-fx.com

Rating: Summary: Best Live Album Ever Review: Having a chance to see this concert again confirms this concert to be one black musics greatest live albums ever, period. Since I have worn out my VHS copy and vinyl copies it's great to finaly get this on DVD, on the technical side the definition and clarity are superb, as far as the musical event goes, it speaks for itself. As a British Maze fan It's clear to see why the British went crazy when Maze made their first visit to the U.K. Anyone buying this, sit back turn the stereo up loud and enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly: Live In New Orleans Review: Having purchased the album, the cassette {twice} and now the DVD, I can truly say that I'm glad they released it! No one can perform like Frankie and the boys do live, they have a simple set, but a sound that moves you into feeling like you're not at an arena, but that you're swept away to one of the biggest family reunions there has ever been; all that's missing is the bar-b-que, and this concert makes that happen in the luxury of your own living room or wherever you have a DVD player. The songs are done with the precision of a studio set, and the chemistry will make your jaw drop. With so many groups losing their focus as to how to please their fans, Maze knows right where to place their ears... right on our hearts. Buy the DVD!
Rating: Summary: Classic performance; poor audio/video. Review: I have been a fan of Maze since they were known in the '70s as Frankie Beverly and the Raw Soul. I remember the controversy in Philadelphia when a prominent DJ predicted Frankie Beverly would be unsuccessful due to the roughness of his voice. How wrong he was. Frankie Beverly is considered to this day one of the most talented R&B artist ever. I recently saw him at the Hampton Jazz festival, and his concert there was as exciting as the first concert I saw of him in the late '70s. In fact, this DVD shows Frankie Beverly in a classic performance, but the sound is not good and the video looks like VHS quality. If you like Maze and can tolerate the relatively poor sound quality of this DVD, buy it as the performance is good. But, if sound and video quality are equally important to you, I'd borrow this one. Just don't borrow it from the person that will say, "no my brother, you got to get your own.":-)
Rating: Summary: A Concert in your own livingroom! Review: I just purchased the DVD and have watched it 3 times in a row. It is the bomb. I have been jamming for hours on end. Frankie B. and Maze are one of my favorite bands. The music just moves you and you cannot help but sing along and groove to the jamz. This is a must have. I only wish it was longer. I am now going to get the Live in Los Angeles DVD. You can never have too many. Good going guys!!!

Rating: Summary: Frankie Beverly Live in New Orleans Review: I own over 40 dvd's and I have to admit Frankie Beverly's Live in New Orleans dvd audio sound quality does not measure up with any of them. This dvd sounds as if it was produced in mono format. This is not true stereo or dolby digital recorded material. For those that own a high quality system as I do, you will be highly dissappointed in the audio production and picture quality of this low production dvd. I have VHS recordings I've taped off tv that sounds better than this dvd. Frankie get your sound and production crew up to speed in recording and picture format for the great work you do in live performanances!
