back in the day nobody was out-Funking Rick James. together with the stone City Band Rick James always had a smoking Synth,Guitar,bass,Synth Driven Groove that kept Heads Bopping.then he could turn around&make a smoothed out slow Jam. very Versatile Soul brother. I have seen this concert for years.Rick showcased how He got down. this was Rick in His Prime&Peak.Rick was Sharp,funky&funny all at once. this is a Must have show for any fan of the Funk. Rick James was the last Great funkateer this show showcases the bandleader in Rick&How His Band was on Point from start to Finish.

As a huge fan of the original Punk-Funker, I was very excited to receive this for my birthday! The band was TIGHT! I never saw him in concert (I was too young then) but to see him on DVD has truly made my year! Rick kept the crowd going, even after he and the band finished their set and left the stage!

My highlights for me has got to be the MARY JANE MARCH (showing Rick giving a nod to Leopold), ALL DAY ALL NIGHT, & FREAKY!

A must have for Rick James fans!

People People People Please! If you have ever seen Rick James live you would know this is the real Rick James. The one that showed up for the show but forgot to bring the show with him. The band was cooking soul food while Rick was in the backstage eating. When he was on stage he was rushing through it all so he could get backstage to Mary Jane. I love Rick James but let's face it, this was one that should have got away. I was very upset buying this junk, it's not how I want to remmember Rick James. If he had spent more time on the set and actually sing his songs than jumping around and messing with the crowd, who you could feel they wanted Rick to cut to the chase and stop getting them up for a flash of James. ONE STAR!

This DVD is one step up from a fan recording the concert on a camcorder. The color is very dim cheap looking. The sound is very muffled, making it almost impossible to distinguish the different instruments. The performance is at a concert hall in Germany, which seemed cool at first, but isn't. Very cheap lighting on stage.

I bought this for a music fan in my family and we rushed to put in in the DVD player to watch it. We tried very hard to like it, but the quality was to bad to really get into it.

Rick James is amazing and so is his band, but this DVD looks like a bootleg.

It's not the best concert, but it's worth checking out if you like Rick James.

Rick has always been a character, i liked the concert. But the crowd was so quiet at one point, i didn't know they were there!!

Rick James at his finest, rick being just Rick, Wonderful Live Performances , and good songs, and some I personally Have not heard. Pretty good quality, good dvd. would recommend.

I've been to and have seen some very nice concerts and this one was on point. This is one of the best concerts that i've seen on dvd. I had the pleasure of seeing Rick James back in 1998 here in Detroit at the Fox theatre and he gave one heck of a show then. That was when he had just gotten out of prison. I would recommend this dvd to any true Rick James fan. This is a classic performance. I went out and copped it soon as it became available.

This is a classic perfomance of the ledgendary Rick James & The Stone City Band. This is the Super Freak in his prime, you can pretty much tell that they're all high as a kite, yet still they deliver the highest form of entertainment. Definately worth every penny. .....

This is the only live per4mance by Rick James avaiable on the market. And this alone makes it a must-have.

Besides, the concert is kickin'.

Rick won't let you down.
