Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dynamic and smooth
Review: This DVD is not even 5.1 surround , but the sound is excellent. Yes you do have to crank the volume up a little bit more but the result is astounding. Use good playback equipment like revell sub and willson puppies with mark levinson amps. and enjoy the artistry and the strange jacket that Lee is wearing!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Smooth Play
Review: This DVD is what having a DVD player is all about. I find it amazing that there are companies pushing to make a 1942 black and white, monophonic Jimmy Stewart movie, yet us jazz and music lovers have a handful of options to select from to keep our palette full. Fourplay has outdone many of the others, because they saw the value in just PLAYING music! We get the benefits, because this is one can can sit back and enjoy, without the remote "skip" control at the ready. Solid performances by one the ever changing FAB FOUR, with great guest performances by the likes of Phil Bailey of EW&F, and Chaka Kahn. So get between the sheets and enjoy this digital masterpiece, it is worth every dime and then some!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fourplay on dvd is awesome
Review: This is a dvd you play over and over. I have seen fourplay in concert plus I have all of the albums from the group, even my son who is a teenager that loves rap liked this dvd , does not get any better than this thats for sure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Smooth & Relaxing Jazz!
Review: This is a great DVD for obvious reasons.You get a talented group like Fourplay to perform many of their hits in front of a small crowd, and the sound is outstanding.The visuals are perfect, and you get to see each member up close! The guest stars are a nice bonus too! Philip Bailey (of Earth Wind & Fire), Phil Perry (needs to learn some restraint! ), and the 'fabulous' Chaka Khan, who shows why she is popular among Jazz musicians. If you love contemporary jazz, invest in this DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding Performance
Review: This is a truly amazing performance and a wonderful DVD. The musicians place with great subtlety and emotion. In particular, Lee Ritenour plays with a quiet intensity that makes the songs come alive. I have never been a Fourplay partisan but I really enjoyed this performance. Incidentally, Phil Perry, who appears with Lee Ritenour in "GRP All-Stars Live From the Record Plant" makes an appearance as one of the back-up singers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I simply loved it
Review: This was fantastic I would love to see more just like this from them. All great musican should record sets like this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is it 0 or 5 stars?
Review: Very good concert, very good performances, very good music, very good sound, resuming: 5 stars. But not everything's perfect; in "volume one" you hear a thing while you watch another. The audio-video sync has not been what I was expecting of a DVD (as it has happened in many other occassions). When I buy a concert of such talented musicians, I want to see how're they playing in real time, not that stupid delay. Volume 2 is OK.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What a Shame
Review: With today Technology with 5.1 or DTS this DVD do not have either. The Video is very poor, with the lighting making the proformers turn the color of blue. True, the music is good. But no excuse for not producing a better DVD. Take a lesson or look at the quality of George Benson or SANTANA. If you compare these titles you will indeed be very disapointment at FOURPLAY quality.
