Johnny Maestro's voice is truly a gift that keeps on giving. In this live performance from Stamford, CT, Johnny and The Brooklyn Bridge perform sixteen of their greatest hits and I can assure you that their voices and harmonies have never sounded better. I was pleasantly surprised to see "Your Husband, My Wife" among the songs that the band chose to perform. While band members may not have particularly cared for the song's lyrics, I believe that it remains one of their greatest accomplishments. As always, Johnny flawlessly hits the notes on "Blessed Is The Rain", "The Worst That Can Happen" and Bobby Hatfield's rendition of "Unchained Melody." The interviews with Johnny and other band members provide valuable insight as to what has united The Brooklyn Bridge over the years. This DVD is a must for all Brooklyn Bridge fans. It shows us why the band continues to sell out concerts and it gives us hope that Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge will begin to receive the recognition and respect they so rightfully deserve.

From the very first time I heard the marvelous voice of Johnny Maestro, I became a solid fan. Sure, this concert would definitely have benefitted from 5.1 sound, and other amenities, but the voice of Johnny Maestro, and the solid backup of the Brooklyn Bridge (and the excellent two singers from the former Del Satins), carried this DVD into the Must-Have category. Get it, crank up the sound, sit back and put your feet on the coffee table, and enjoy the heck out of this excellent performance.

Out of all the 50's & early 60's Rock & Rollers, Johnny Maestro has remained the one singer who sounds exactly the same as he did back then. It's hard to believe but if you close your eyes, you can't tell it's a 21st Century concert. The BB harmonies are right on as well. The only complaint, and why I did not give this 5 stars, is the interviews that pop up between songs. It would have been nice to see the concert with no interruptions. But, by all means, get this. You won't be disappointed.

Great song selection. Would've given 5 stars if it had been widescreen, 5.1 sound AND they hadn't mixed the interviews in with the live songs. The interviews were informative but they should've had an option to listen to them after the concert, not mixed into it.

This is an excellent concert..If you remember the fifties with a wonderful group called the Crests..This dvd is for you.What great music.they played..Johnny maestro and the crests,became the brooklyn bridge...Members from both groups became one...The sound. the music,were beautifully performed with great style..The brooklyn bridge are,top notch,spirited,and motivated..This is how i would describe,.the brooklyn bridge....Some groups go thru the motions,but this group is hip alive,and really gave the audience,what they wanted and more...I think you noticed,that i love the music...yes this is an excellent dvd...5 star rated...Good music for all ages.thank you stewart L.

Johnny Maestro may have gray hair, but his voice is just as crystal clear and beautiful as ever. This was a most enjoyable show, first class all the way. I will enjoy it over and over.

Some voices mellow through the years and assume a timber which belies the ravages of time. So it is with Johnny and the Bridge. Sounding in great voice, the boys re-visit many of their tunes from days passed by and make you glad that they did. With inter-spaced interviews between songs, the concert speaks for itself as it glides through the musical years on a sled of glass. If you enjoyed them then, you will enjoy them now. A must buy for fans who have been running the course for years, and those who are just joining in. A great concert by an ongoing class act.

Johnny Maestro has a wonderful voice. This concert DVD is very entertaining and the behind the scene interviews by the group make it very interesting. It is very refreshing to see this group perform. They sing their #1 hits. They really enjoy singing and dancing and putting on the best show. Anyone who is a fan of Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge will get lots of pleasure out of this DVD.

The shame of a too early death of one of the best vocalists ever. Had to buy this DVD video after having been a long time fan and seeing Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge live. So badly wanted to see him again. This is the only video I know that exists of him performing and it is a must have for any fan. I watched it on a 42 inch high def TV and the video is crystal clear. can't wait to play it through my surround system and crank up the volume on those wonderful vocals. Any fan of Johnny should have this in their collection. You won't be sorry.

If you liked the Crests, you'll love this dvd. Great sound and a good picture. Johnny sounds better then ever.
