Rating: Summary: For Hardcore Fans Only Review: As has been stated by another reviewer, the sound quality is lacking on this dvd. Whoever did the mastering made a poor attempt to ensure the sound and video were in-sync. DO NOT attempt to listen/watch this in 5.1 - it's maddening! At first I thought Rick WAS lip-synching! And the lack of audible crowd noise was disturbing. Listening to the stereo version helps with the audio-sync problems, but doesn't cure it completely. Unless you can overlook these serious problems, DON'T buy this, and DON'T pay full price!
Rating: Summary: Never thought I'd see the day...... Review: I caught this one when it was first broadcast on Showtime 327 years ago..and have only a 15th generation bootleg vhs dub to remember it by.I never,ever thought it would make it to DVD..being a long forgotten concert by an artist whom critics have always loved to hate,and who hasn't had anything in the top ten in more than a decade...This is a pleasant surprise indeed! His rabid and loyal fanbase will gobble this up in record time,So I won't preach to the choir....If you are a passive fan or just want to enjoy a great show from a great performer,dust off your parachute pants and pre-order this gem!...Now,if I could just score that KISS concert that HBO aired in '79.............
Rating: Summary: It was a great show!!! Review: I have this concert on VHS and can't wait to get it on DVD (my VHS is just about warn out...LOL). I have been a major fan of Rick's since I was 12 years old...I am now in my mid-30's and I still get goose bumps over THE MAN!!! You must get this DVD. IT ROCKS!!!
Rating: Summary: Best concert film from Rick! Review: I liked this one better then BOTLD.. He does not act to wild on stage, and he actually gets out there in the auduence and makes so girls swoon! We get to see "I Get Excited" as well as "April 24 1981" along with "Inside Silvia" just to name a few...
I am glad that someone is going to release this one to DVD... It has been a long time coming... New review to come soon...
Rating: Summary: I can'r believe it.......I am soooo happy about this DVD!! Review: I remember seeing this concert on Showtime every chance I got!! We didn't have a VCR then so I had to put it on an audio tape!! And I still have it!! Although personally I had a crush on the Bass player Mike Seifrit. And I was lucky enough to meet him 2 years later when rick played at "Alpine Valley" in East Troy, WI in September 1984, and then I also went to see him in New york at Radio City Music Hall later that month, and he remembered me!! I sure hope this dvd comes out before 2010!!!
Rating: Summary: DON'T GET TOO EXCITED Review: I, like many other R.S. fans, remember when this concert originally aired on Showtime, way back in 1982. The thought of being able to watch it again on DVD, remastered in 5.1 surround sound, had me dancing in my living room. I should have reserved my excitement until I actually saw the DVD. While the picture quality is comparable to VHS, disappointly, the sound was even worse!
Much like the DVD release of "Beat of the Live Drum", "Live and Kickin'" had the same problem of the words/music not matching up with the video...you'll see Rick singing a song, but you'll hear the words about 1/2 second before he opens his mouth, not a long amount of time, but more than enough to ruin this DVD concert.
I suppose it's good to have a durable DVD copy of this, but I'll stick to the VHS copy I made over 20 years ago. Perhaps the company that released this DVD didn't take the time to make sure the video and audio were in sync.
Also, the "bonus features" should have been called "Bogus features"! They include the backstage footage that was seen in the original broadcast of the concert and the pre-show footage, again, already seen on tv. A very disappointing DVD overall. We will have to wait until Rick actually releases the upcoming concert DVD, to be recorded live in Rockford. Il next month.
Until then, try and find a decent VHS copy of "Live and Kickin'".
Rating: Summary: Rick Rocks! Review: It's about time something this cool finally comes out on DVD!!! I've seen the concert on old VHS and it's a great show! The tape is so old though! This is what DVD was invented for! Put on your pink and purple converse and watch some classic Springfield! (...)

Rating: Summary: Rick Rox! Review: Pink & Purple Converse are for sissy's! Don't listen to that last guy, He's off his rocker. However, This DVD is sure to rock. I saw the show back in the day. This was originally a Showtime concert back in 82. Now in digital 5.1. It's about time!
