5.0 out of 5 stars The Petite Dynamo, November 25, 2005

This review is from: Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine - Homecoming Concert [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Filmed in 1988 at the Miami Arena, with a sold-out, enthusiastic audience, Gloria Estefan is a marvel in this well-filmed concert from the early days of her incredibly successful career. The musicianship of the Miami Sound Machine is also terrific, and they put on a show that is full of energy and pizzazz. Gloria looks stupendous, with flawless skin and a glorious mane of hair, with 2 skin-tight costume changes, and an electric personality. My favorite piece is the stupendous "Conga," and Gloria dedicates "Words Get in the Way" to "The Ballad King," Julio Iglesias, who is in the audience, and takes a bow. There are 2 medleys sung in Spanish, as well as part of "Anything for You," and the rest is sung in English. The guys in the Miami Sound Machine deserve a lot of credit, and they are: Bass: Jorge Casas, keyboards: Clay Ostwald and Jim Trompeter, percussion: Rafael Padilla, trombone: Teddy Mulet, trumpet: Randy Barlow, guitar: John De Farria, sax: Mike Scaglione, and drums: Kiki Garcia. The audio and visual quality is very good, and total running time is 80 minutes.

Song list:
1: "Hot Summer Nights"
2: "Bad Boy"
3: "Surrender Paradise"
4: "Can't Stay Away from You"
5: "Let it Loose"
6: Medley: "Baila Conmigo," "A Toda Maquina," "Dingui-Li-Bangue"
7: "Falling in Love (Uh-Oh)"
8: "Words Get in the Way"
9: Medley: "No Sera Facil," "Me Enamore," "Renacer"
10: "1-2-3"
11: "Rhythm is Gonna Get You"
12: "Conga"
13: "Betcha Say That"
14: "Dr. Beat"
15: "Anything for You"

5.0 out of 5 stars This Should Be On DVD, March 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine - Homecoming Concert [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is my favorite, sure it's dated but you get the true sound of the real Miami Sound Machine, the concert was great and the band made it magic with awesome sound and talented musicians, this is what got me to be a Gloria fan to begin with, her and the band that night were on fire, great sound and good song selection, why this is not on dvd I don't know, I have her Evolution DVD which is ok but not the same band and intensity, this is great for the true sound enthusiasts..

This is the best of Gloria--this definitely needs to be on DVD. Like others have said, this was classic gloria from the late 80s, when she was young & had energy--like all of us once did. That is why we buy these things to remember. PUT THIS OUT ON DVD!!!!
