5.0 out of 5 stars Finally on DVD, Just a fun group to watch, March 13, 2007

Concerned One "Thrashfan" (IA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Damn Yankees - Uprising: Live! (DVD)

Filmed at a concer in denver in about 1992, this video show a highly overlooked supergroup of the past, who at the time were a the top of the power pop hard rock scene. Consisting of Tommy Shaw of Styx, Ted Nugent, Jack Blades of Night Ranger, and Michael Cartellone, this band just clicked. The set list includes Damn Yankees, Uprising, High Enough, Don't Tread On Me, Where You Going Now, Fifteen Minutes Of Fame, Come Again, Coming Of Age, Renegade (Styx), Cat Scratch Fever (Nugent), and Rock In America (Night Ranger). The behind the scenes footage is as fun as the energetic stage show, and shows how well a bunch of big personalities can just make things flow together into good work. A mix of power, ballads, souther twang, and you get the Damn Yankees.

This DVD does not have any extras, or special features, videos ect..., but it does not need them, because what is here is pure gold. Sure it would have been nice to see the old videos from MTV, but this is just right as it is. Get this video for a supergroup that did live up to their expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A deep Fiery presentation..., April 17, 2007

Jeff T. Jesmorh "Jeffrey" (Mexico City.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Damn Yankees - Uprising: Live! (DVD)

The Damn Yankees band, was formed back in 1990 by Jack Blades (former NIGHT RANGER)on bass, Tommy Shaw (former STYX) on rhythm guitar, Ted Nugent on lead guitar, and the relatively unknown Michael Cartellone on drums. Achiving since the beginning an explosive chemistry. Then, the band recorded the first studio album called simply DAMN YANKEES (1990). Featuring great Rock and Pop songs like "Coming Of Age", "Come again" and the power ballad "High Enough" where the ethereal choruses, the emotional melody and the powerfull guitar chords and voices just make one thinks: What a great american band we have here!... Afterwards in 1991 appeared in the market the VHS Damn Yankees with live unplugged and studio videos from the first album. In 1992 the second and last album: DON'T TREAD, were the answer to all the market expectatives with songs as "Don't Tread On Me", "Fifteen Minutes Of Fame" and another great ballad "Where You Going Now", that kept the same group level of creativity and quality.

UPRISING is a DVD where you can be the eyewitness and feel the driving levels of firy intensity and musicality with interpretations of the best songs of the band plus tracks of STYX ("Renegade"), Night Ranger ("You Can Still, Rock In America) and Ted Nugent solo career ("Cat Scrash Fever"). Really a great concert of a great american band, full of scenes of band's comentaries having fun! a good purchase if you like the madness of four guys that play Hard melodic Rock!.... Good Luck!

My boyfriend & I just watched this concert & WOW, it was fun and those guys are hot. I know it was recorded 15 years ago, but it is fun to watch & those guys can sing--they sound great... and Ted was a kick.
It's a fun Party DVD to watch...i'm ordering it. One of the best concerts so far on VH1 Classic :o)
HIGHLY RECOMMEND !
