2.0 out of 5 stars Good music is timless, March 17, 2007

This review is from: Motown: The Early Years (DVD)

I was disapointed when I discovered that this was not footage from original performances. As I continued to watch I was really enjoying listening to the music it brought back many memories and the performances were well done. If you like Motown this is worth viewing.

This review is from: Motown: The Early Years (DVD)

Even though it's described as "The Early Years", these are all recent performances. A rip off.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sad State of Affairs, March 13, 2007

By 

Andre M. "brnn64" (Mt. Pleasant, SC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motown: The Early Years (DVD)

This DVD shows a pretty sad state of affairs. The performers look (and sound) terrible and are way past their prime trying to party like its 1969 (Martha Reeves trying to squeeze in a 60s style dress is particularly pathetic). Imagine a senior citizens home giving a performance at the Apollo Theater and you get the idea.
