This review is from: What Is Hip: Live at Iowa State University (DVD)

Just to correct the one reviewer this is not the same Ohne Filter lineup
nor show...Its one of the many formations that TOP has presented over quite a few decades, and i can honestly say thats part of the magic that make them one of America's most exciting Funkiest, Tightest Masters of their Style...I LOVED this performance..Albeit it may not be perfect, but who cares?? Its One very Hot performance with lots of jams, and dead on
TOP music...To answer the one reviewer's questions on why TOP or other acts put out so few dvds is simply this: Most people burn them reducing the profit margin that's supposed to go back to the musicians and producers of the performances..Same with cds...Bands like TOP make their money touring and doing session work...But what a sweet ride this one is.
If you are a True TOP of fan, its well worth the ride for 2hrs..!!

Excellent DVD for an excellent price on Amazon. For music lovers, you get not only to hear, but see them in action.

When I bought this I must say I was hoping for something better. I know ToP went through lead singers and lineups like lunch but I never saw this one live. The footage looks like and sounds like something left over from the High School Audo Visual Squad. While the performances are decent, inspired even, this DVD STILL doesn't provide me with what I want, Blu-Ray quality video of ToP along with Dolby TruMaster sound. This ain't it.
