This review is from: Rip It Up Live [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What a terrific concert tape! This is a seamless compilation of two concerts in the eighties in Japan (if you look closely, you can see some costume differences). It is beautifully filmed in front of high-powered audiences.

I liked this group's music in the eighties but didn't like their video style. I much prefer this concert footage. Unlike so many concert tapes, the cameramen don't try to stick the camera in the performers' throats, there is a good deal of footage of the whole stage. And with good reason: besides Pete Burns prancing all over the stage, the go-go boys in their bare-buns g-strings are an exhibition of their own!

All of the popular D/A songs are performed here, very well, and moving smoothly from one to another. Again, whoever did the editing for this footage is a master.

This is not only fun to watch and own, but will be of value in the future for documentation of eighties rock/pop.

Pete Burns is really great in this particular concert filmed in Japan!! If only it was available on DVD!! I am not a big fan of Live concerts and would much rather see videos but this is all that they have to offer for this band so it is a must have for the Dead Or Alive fan! Pete Camps it up good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's Rip It Up ..... LIVE!, March 11, 2003

This review is from: Rip It Up Live [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Dead Or Alive's concert from Tokyo is the best live performance I have seen from the band! I have been a fan for 5 yrs, and I wanted to see there later stuff before I became a fan!

The concert starts off with one of there best songs (at least I think so) "Hooked On Love". The band connects all their song from their CD "Rip It Up" and makes it a non-stop gender-bending show! The sing alot of their hit such as "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record), My Heart Goes Bang, Something In My House, and Brand New Lover"!

If you are a fan of DOA, or a fan of 80's music, I recommend you buy this video. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
