Editorial Reviews

All The Way In is a CD/DVD set recorded live in April 2009.

Berlin's electro-pop sound features the enduring sound of Terri Nunn, which is why All The Way In is the most preferable place to hear this Los Angeles-based group's music.

Berlin made its first national impression with the provocative single Sex (I'm A...) from teh gold-selling debut EP Pleasure Victim in 1982. The synth-soaked punch of No More Words from 1984's Love Life album and the number one ballad Take My Breath Away from the film Top Gun are the album's high points.

The range of Terri Nunn's vocals elevated most of Berlin's efforts above the norm of the run-of-the-mill synthesizer glitz. All The Way In captures Berlin at their best in front of a hometown Los Angeles crowd.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Effort but I Wanted More, July 10, 2009

First of all I'm a Berlin fan, so I may be biased, but I'll be honest. The sound quality of the drums, bass and guitar are a little flat and I wish they had included the entire concert on the DVD disc. However, I'd say that it is a strong effort by this band. The Jefferson Airplane, Duran Duran and Marilyn Manson cover songs are nice. Overall, the true Berlin fan will like this set.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hometown Concert 2009, July 17, 2009

Terri Nunn and Berlin return to their hometown Anaheim, CA for an entertaining 14-song live recording taped in April 2009. Anaheim was the city where it all started for Berlin, so it seemed appropriate for a hometown concert filming.

Recorded at The House of Blues, this new set covers most of Berlin's biggest hits such as "No More Words, "Take My Breath Away," "The Metro," and the always ear-catching "Sex (I'm A...)."

Never a band that does an identical show, Nunn & company also turn in a few surprising covers including "Somebody To Love" (Jefferson Airplane), "The Dope Show" (Marilyn Manson), plus a more appropriate cover of fellow 80's icons Duran Duran on "Ordinary World."

Though All The Way In doesn't pack the sonic punch of Berlin's previous concert album Live: Sacred and Profane (2000), it is still something that true Berlin fans will want to own. The band has stronger moments, and weaker moments in the set, as does Terri Nunn.

On the bonus 10-song DVD you can really see the love Berlin's many longtime fans have for the band, and Terri Nunn shows plenty of appreciation in return during this intimate concert. Though climbing on to a fan's shoulders and wondering through the crowd might not have been the greatest idea, for the mic has some feedback in the process.

Long before Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, Nunn was the original Orange County blonde bombshell. Nunn remains in good vocal form (on most of the songs), over 25 years since the debut Berlin release Pleasure Victim.

OK well first off the people who can't tell this recording sounds like it's coming out of a cardboard box must be tone deaf. That being said it is really the only flaw in an otherwise great set of songs. The sound is slightly better on the dvd but not all of the songs are included which I do not understand at all, plus Touch is on the dvd but not the cd. I'm not quite sure who makes those decisions but they need to be relieved of duty.

Another thing completely unrelated to this package but relevent to their live shows is the complete reliance on big hits and cover versions to satisfy a crowd. Voyeur maybe their (well whoever the band is at a specific time) best work since the very early days and yet they barely if ever touch it live. I'm truly hoping for some new songs with Carlton,Chris and Dave in the next year or so and they are incredible live if they happen to be in your area don't miss them.
