Several people mentioned they felt the audio quality is not so great. Actually, the audio quality is very, very good. The problem is, the center channel volume was recorded waaaay too low, causing the vocals to sort of get lost in the side channel ambience. If you listen to this DVD through a multi-channel surround sound system, simply use your remote to boost only the center channel volume by 7-10 dB, and the sound stage balance is brought back into perfect harmony. It is then that you realize that the overall audio quality was not the problem. Stereo-only listeners, however, will indeed be let down by the audio. The only downside to boosting the center volume comes between songs, when the announcers are eardrum-shatteringly loud, causing one to have to toggle the volume up and down throughout the DVD. But even that should not cause one to miss this terrific performance!

This is an excellent show. What I especially like about it is that most of the songs done by the original artists are better than the original recordings. Taste of Honey in particular are great. You may have to look hard, but there is a second, Part 2 Dvd of this that is almost as good.

If you were born in the 50's or 60's, you will know every song on this selection and will probably be able to remember where you were, and more importantly, what you were doing 'back then' when the music played. I experienced this DVD while out with my coworkers and it wasn't long before we were up and 'doing the hustle,' laughing and swapping stories from the past. The music is infectious. I reminds me of a great time in my life when worries were few and the future held unlimited promise. I'll bet you will feel the same way, too. But it gets better. I ordered the DVD and played it at home. Everyone got down in my home! From my husband, born in the 50's to my daughter, born in this decade, and everyone inbetween. Disco Explosion Live would be great for getting together with friends and reminiscing, teenage dance parties, or just boogying to around the house.

Just watched this love-fest for the second time, and Irene Cara's performance of "What A Feeling" is far and away the show-stopper. If you can watch it without getting a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye, you are six-feet under!

The DVD itself is noteworthy for the you-are-there impact, not for stellar audio recording. Still, if you missed your chance to see all these performers live, it's nectar for your boogie-loving soul.

Classic disco hits performed with style and energy by the original artists in front of an enthusiastic audience. Very good quality. This DVD proves how great (and timeless) the music of the 70s are. Throw in Chic's "Live At Montreux 2004" DVD and you'll never have to leave the house. So get yourself a good sound system and enjoy the show!

Simply wonderfoul, I was remember the best decade of music, the soundtrack of my life.

"Get Down Tonight" features a one-night reunion of hot disco acts from the 70's. Although the artists work in a medium that prizes youth but tends to take a lot out people over time, the singers and musicians have fun and every one of them delivers a fun performance on this DVD. Would like to have seen Donna Summer be part of the show, but her video at the end is enjoyable.

Great DVD. Picture quality is great. Sound is excellant. The selection of performers is second to none.
