I've been an Incognito/Maysa fan since the early Nineties and have been dying for the group to produce a concert DVD. When I saw this I just had to snap it up. I'd glad I did, but I was not blown away as I was expecting. Overall, I felt that this was a solid workmanlike effort, but not up to zip and exhilaration I feel when I listen to the 'Cogs. The big detractors for me were 1) I was expecting a more current show. This DVD is drawn from a TV show recorded ten years ago. The initial advertising failed to mention this. 2) No Maysa!!! It's no fluke that every great Incognito vocal track features Maysa Leak. So whenever they performed a number that Maysa recorded ("Still A Friend Of Mine" for example), I found myself really missing Maysa's vocal presence. 3) The audience was on life support. You have to understand that this show was taped in Germany. The Germans are lovers of great music in all its forms and styles, but German audiences are notorious for not being very animated. It was just odd to see the Cogs working up a sweat and the audience just standing there. Even urging from Bluey or Pamela Anderson didn't move these guys! 4) This was originally a TV show so the sound and production value are not as good as you might find on a true concert DVD. 5) Did I mention no Maysa??

This is a must own for any Incognito fan simply because it is the only concert performance of the group I could find. Hey, Bluey, why don't you get the gang together an do a proper concert DVD!!!

For any real Cog fan this is a must have DVD dispite the fact that this is the only concert DVD they have to offer,this perfomance basically
consist of songs from the 100 Degrees and Rising CD and IMO this happens to be one of if not the best CD from Bluey & the Gang and I have them all.
my only dissapointment was it was simply not long enough but a fine perfomance none the less!

Nice try, but it's just not Incognito without Maysa. The Incognito musicians are fantastic, but if you're looking for the true feel of the songs, or anticipating Maysa going even deeper into the waters, you will be sorely disappointed by her absence. Sorry guys.

This concert, which was just released, was recorded in 1995 and featured all their greatest hits at the time. It's funny how good music trascends time. The recording and musicianship is sharp although the vocals, at times, seem to be a little off key.

Great performance for anyone seeking the heart and soul intensity that Incognito has provided over the years.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is one of my favorite bands of all time. There isn't much material to purchase from these guy's in the way of DVD's Live but I was happy to have this. The audio quality is very mediocre on this recording as well the lack of high definition but like I said it's better than nothing. Their music and talented musicianship is awesome!!!

Thanks,

I love this band! Incognito, a man with a voice and a dream to give people a chance..... JP "Bluey" Maunik is the man! Captures everything from "Inside Life" to "100 Degrees & Rising".

Hightlight, Joy Malcom's peformance of "Spellbound & Speechless" low light her take on "Colbri", sorry it was purely amusing.

Another highlight Pam Anderson, damn, that sista can sannnnnng!!!!"

Buy this purchase before it dissappears.....


Must have for any diehard Incognito fan!

This is one of the best concert dvd's I have ever seen. Having over 200 music concert DVD's in my music library, I rate this one in the top 5. This concert rates with Santana, Sade, Maze, and Mary J. Blidge. The group is off the chain , and Joy Malcolm's - SPELLBOUND and SPEECHLESS, as she flips into her cool mode is too much. If the groove does not get you, the funk will take you out! A must have for any serious collector of great music dvd's.

I bought this DVD after some initial reluctance. I truly missed Maysa's soulful and haunting voice esp. in songs like "Still a friend of mine" (it's done awfully on the DVD I actually skip it everytime!). After listening to the DVD a couple of times though, it's become a hot favourite.

Pam Anderson does justice to her songs, "Good Love" and "Don't you worry bout a thing", a big nineties hit in South Africa. Joy Malcom is a star, and I like her attitude on Stage, "Spellbound and Speechless" being her signature tune.

When Incognito toured South africa in 2005, the sound quality was so terrible that half of the people walked out during the show.
This is the only live perfomance from the band that I have and I treasure it so much.

Great DVD!!!! I love Incognito- the put on a fabulous live show. I saw them once in NYC at Irving Plaza and was blown away. They where having so much fun on stage. They are from the UK and rarely come to the USA.
Go catch them live if you can- you will "not" be dissapointed.

If you are an Incognito fan then this dvd is for you! This video ROCKS!! When you compare Incogito with other bands, Incognito wins all the time.

This is the only concert dvd out there by Incognito so you better get your copy while it lasts.
