5.0 out of 5 stars Great Jammin'!!, November 7, 2002
This review is from: Legends of Rock 'n' Roll Live (DVD)
This hour long set is HIGH ENERGY all the way! Producer Dave Edmunds winds up these aging superstars and lets em boogie out!From the opening note to the close there isn't a weak link in the party! This was filmed in Italy in the late 1980's and all those involved make this concert relevant for the time. It just goes to show how timeless these guys are. Buy this set and revel in the glory and joy of it all!A must have dvd for any music collector.

5.0 out of 5 stars Far Above Average Live "Oldies", February 19, 2001
By A Customer
Hats off to the producers of this show. Somehow they got seven legends together, and mostly got the most out of them! James Brown opens the show with solid renditions of "Papa's...Bag" and "I Feel Good", featuring high-energy choreography, and (believe it or not!) Mr. Maceo Parker!! Bo Diddley provides the best "I'm A Man" I've ever heard; Ray Charles offers an amazing "Mess Around" - one of the great moments in music history captured on tape. The lesser-discussed uptempo item is a true time-capsule entry! Fats Domino overcomes voice problems with "I'm Ready" - another under-played Fats number given solid support. (Dave Edmunds' band is "up" for this gig, no doubt.) And please note Mr. Lee Allen on sax! Little Richard's voice problems are reported to be the result of extensive carrying on between his first two songs, one reported to be his magnificent (still unreleased) country ballad "No Place Like Home", leading to halfway blown-out tonsils and a struggle to get through "Great Gosh A'Mighty". Once he gets in gear he's great, but what a shame if his clowning dictated the edit of a "new" and hitworthy LR tune. Jerry Lee Lewis, on the contrary is all business, offering three songs including "The Wild One (Real Wild Child)". B.B. King gives us two numbers including "How Blue Can You Get?", an exceptionally strong rendition. The "All-Star Jam" does not appear to have been rehearsed, and it works well. All the starts contribute and Richard gets a chance to partially redeem himself.

"Time enduring" is what you would call these magnetic and energetic super stars. Every one of them is great and performs some of their best music. I was suprised that the show stopper was - Jerry Lee Lewis.
