4.0 out of 5 stars 15 best performances of Ed Sullivan, March 24, 2004

This review is from: Rock 'N' Roll Forever: Ed Sullivan's Greatest Hits (DVD)

This DVD presents 15 performances (10 in color, 5 in black and white) selected from the Ed Sullivan Show aired at different times in 1950's and 60's. The performers are, in the order of appearance, Jackson 5(with 10 year old Michael!), Bill Haley and His Comets, Elvis Presley, Doors, Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, Roy Orbison, Beatles, Temptations and Supremes, Loving Spoonful, Mamas and Papas, CCR, Young Rascals, and Janis Joplin. Each performance is a gem(with a possible exception of one which appears to be lip-synced); the DVD could very well be called "the 15 best performances of Ed Sullivan". The picture quality is excellent, and the sound clean and good. The commentary by Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas is concise and yet helpful.

So, why not 5 stars? There are only 15 songs, one each by the above 15 performers. Granted that this DVD is priced a little lower than others, the entire show is only 50 minutes. By the time it ended, I felt that I had seen only the first half of it.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a rip off., October 29, 2003

This review is from: Ed Sullivan Rock & Roll Revolution (DVD)

I was really excited when I saw this dvd. It had a lot of the artists I hoped to have and it was reasonably priced. It was however, overpriced as it turns out. The songs start and stop abruptly, in the middle of songs. There is talking over the performances. This is not what it appears. Beware...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good performances, but not enough, January 5, 2005

This review is from: Rock 'N' Roll Forever: Ed Sullivan's Greatest Hits (DVD)

I loved the performances on the DVD: the Doors, Bill Haley, and early Elvis, Ray Charles, James Brown, and Janis Joplin, but I was a little disappointed that it only included one Motown performance: Diana Ross and the Supremes and the Temptations. The Tempts were the best part of this video especially knowing the background to their appearance. No Marvin Gaye? No Four Tops? Well, David Ruffin sings the "(I Know) I'm Losing You" duet with Diana, but Diana gets most of the lead. The song sounded pretty watered down for her. Ruffin was the best part of the duet---such a dynamic performer! I was disappointed in the Mamas and the Papas' performance (very very disappointed). There definitely should have been more performances.
