When I got this DVD it turn out to be much more than I expected.Gladys and the Pips were in rare form singing such songs as Every Beat Of My Heart,Friendship Train,On and ON,Grapevine,Midnight Train To Georgia.Gladys does a beautiful randition Evergreen and The Way We Were.And of course when Ray Charles came on stage.OH MY MY.Ray and Gladys did Neither One Of Us. This is a must for all R&B for the price.You could not beat it. Buy this one.You won't be sorry

I think people tend to forget that the days of Digital recording, 5.1 surround sound and HDTV are pretty recent. How can a 1980 performance look like a million dollar... We all know the limitations of older recordings and that's what you have to keep in mind before buying vintage concerts. Personally I am attracted by the emotion you can feel watching such amazing and unbelievable musicianship. There are only too few of these remarkable DVDs available today. Please keep'em coming, I am all for it, because high end technology can't make up for the awful music being released today. Keep the 5.1-Blue Ray-schmaltz and give us the real deal. (of course if you got the real deal in high quality I won't mind either! LOL)

I was very dissapointed when I saw this DVD for the first time. Sound and video are terrible, believe me, terrible.

The music is perfect, I love Gladys and Ray, but for me you need a good mix between performance and sound. This is not the case, very old concert and cheap production. Regards

I had not seen Gladys and the Pips since the 70's and I wanted a nice video of them in their prime. I was not disappointed! The video picture was not as clear as a more recent show would be but it was more than okay. The audio was very good, I could hear both Gladys and the Pips very well. I enjoyed the show, the selection of songs and the appearance of Ray Charles. I would recommend this video for all video collectors!

This DVD is essentially (two songs) the same as Gladys Knight and the Pips Live in Los Angeles. Selling both of these DVDs together really constitutes somewhat of a rip-off. One doesn't need both.

If you even LIKE these two entertainers, you'll LOVE this tape. Gladys is so young and pretty and Ray's voice is at it's best. A real fun tape.

Although this dvd shows Gladys and the Pips in the beginning of their career, I think you should look for a more up to date dvd. By the time Ray started performing with them, it was time to go to sleep. I'd pass this one by.

early years of gk&p not at their best.

ray charles is ray charles nothing more needs to be said

This is an excellent show. Gladys performs with the PIPS and does her greats such as Midnight train, The way we were, Every beat of my heart etc. and is later joined by Ray Charles who entertains us with songs such as Hit the road Jack and does a superb duet with Gladys on Neither one of us. I highly recommend this show - keep in mind that it's vintage (80's)so don't expect 2008 sound quality/picture. Still, the sound and picture as is is not bad. More shows of this time should be released such as Diana Ross Live - Natalie Cole Live - Gladys Knight Live etc.
