1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this horrendous digital transfer! Get the VHS..., March 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hugh Masekela - Homecoming Concert (DVD)

While this is a great VHS- (amazing sound) - the DVD version has increadibly awful audio (tinny, tons of hiss, echo, difficult to hear)! It sounds like someone dubbed it with a cheap portable stereo in front of a TV playing the VHS! Avoid the DVD edition- stick with the video. I do not know WHAT Shanachie was thinking with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masekela shines in his return home, August 21, 2000

This review is from: Hugh Masekela - Homecoming Concert [VHS] (VHS Tape)

South African musician Hugh Masekela returned home after a self imposed exile of thirty years but South Africans never forgot Masekela or his music. In this performance Hugh Masekela features some of the great musicians of South Africa, including the sax and penny whistle player Morris Goldberg, and moves the audience to tears with an emotional and inspiring performance closing with the new national anthem. A must for lovers of South African music, a must see for trumpet players, and a must see for anyone who has followed the struggle for freedom in South Africa.

4.0 out of 5 stars DVD can do better, August 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hugh Masekela - Homecoming Concert (DVD)

The first thing I will say is the sound is of very good quality. The music is enjoyable, the picture fine. I am really dissapointed in the lack of support for the extra abilities DVD has when it comes to music concert titles, and this DVD does little to change this. I want to be able to see it from multiple angles, get backstage footage, interviews, after party with the groupies etc etc. This DVD is fine, but come on, DVD deserves more.
