A Must for Petula Fans

By Nancy C. Laflure on January 25, 2002

Format: VHS Tape Verified Purchase

Not only is the concert, "A Sign of the Times" fabulous, but the
extra biographical history at the end of the tape is absolutely
priceless and a real must for any Petula fan. Also, the concert
portion is filled with not only her live performance in Norfolk,
Va.in 2000, but it shows her performing her hits from the 60's on different TV shows, such as Ed Sullivan, Hullabaloo, Lloyd Thaxton, Carol Burnett, Dean Martin & more, then goes back to her performing live on stage. Also included are home movies of her, Claude and the children. There is no money value that could
possibly be put on this tape for any Petula Clark fan. Highlights of the tape are "Color My World", "Who Am I", "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love", "Downtown", "Tell Me it's Not True", and a beautiful song, "Here for You". It's a must have for sure. Don't miss out on this one. Truly a fabulous tribute to a legendary performer, and a great gift to her fans. Don't forget to watch past the concert for more footage and Petula talking about her life, family, acting, and of course, singing.

I Couldn't Live without Pet, but...

By Todd J. Brandt on April 25, 2002

Format: DVD

Unfortunately, the concert portion of this DVD is almost painful to watch. Pet seems to be struggling with her notes on many of her 60's classics (although she hits the high notes on such Broadway fare as "Tell Me it's Not True" without breaking a sweat), and this distressing performance is only exacerbated by her shockingly unkempt appearance. Straggly hair, unflattering makeup, and the ugliest costumes ever to grace a major celebrity stand in stark contrast to the svelte, swingin' Pet of the Sixties that we see in cruelly contrasting footage.
On the plus side, this DVD features a fascinating documentary on Pet's life and career, which is endlessly entertaining. Also, the bonus FULL LENGTH clips from "The Ed Sullivan Show," "The Hollywood Palace" and Pet's own TV specials are worth the price of the DVD alone. Now, that's what we'd really love to see: a collection of Pet's classic performances from those great variety shows of yore.
Petula can still dredge up her old power and clarity, on record and in person. Sadly, when this concert was recorded, she was not at the top of her form. Buy this DVD for the "extras."

AN INTERESTING CONCEPT THAT BACKFIRES

By Thomas C. Rizzo, Jr. on April 1, 2002

Format: VHS Tape

Someone must have thought the idea was brilliant and, in fact, the concept is an interesting one - film a contemporary concert with British superstar Petula Clark, then edit it by intercutting her present day performance with clips of her singing the same songs on various variety shows televised in the 1960s. Unfortunately, Clark was not in top form for the two concerts that closed the Virginia Arts Festival in Spring 2001 and were captured on film for broadcast by PBS late last year, and her weaknesses are even more pronounced when compared to her work thirty-plus years ago. (This is not to say she's past her prime, since her performance in concert in Long Beach in January 2002 was brilliant - and should have been the one to be captured on film.) Cutting back and forth between Clark "now" (dressed in a succession of unflattering ensembles, with her hair a mass of disheveled curls, she frequently struggles to reach or sustain notes) and "then" (with her powerful voice wrapping itself around notes with such clarity that you can hear her dot her "i"s and cross her "t"s) ultimately leaves the viewer wanting to see more of the old black-and-white clips and less of the recent performance. Guests Lou Rawls and Richard Carpenter contribute some pleasant moments, but with much of their appearances left on the cutting room floor, their inclusion here seems almost superfluous. Far more interesting is the 30-minute documentary that chronicles Clark's incredible life and career, now in it's sixty-second year, that is tacked on at the end of the concert portion and added an extra star to my review. Even non-diehard fans will find this section - with its rare clips and commentary by fellow artists who have shared the stage with her in the past - to be a fascinating portrait of a true superstar. If only her performance here could have offered better testament to the fact that Petula Clark is truly deserving of the title "show biz legend."

Truly the songs of the times!

By David E. Pouliot on September 5, 2013

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

While the video quality may be that of the 90's, the concert and blend with prior original appearances is spectacular. Moreover, the DVD has a great Biography piece that I never new about this performer...she's been singing and acting since WWII! In fact one might say she was Britain's version of Shirley Temple. The additional cast members, including special guests Richard Carpenter and the late Lou Rawls were great. The bonus features contained many surprises...a real DVD Gem. The melodies sung are a true reflection of the signs and the songs of the times!

Still magical

By Amazon Customer on July 19, 2002

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

As a long-time Petula fan, I must say I was a little perturbed by some of the comments above on Pet's unkempt appearance and trouble reaching high notes. After watching this concert, the verdict is... I agree. Some of those outfits are really ugly, especially that gold lame number which is way too big on her. And what's with the false eyelashes? They are so thick she can hardly keep her eyes open!
But... on the plus side, Pet still has that magic that has endeared her to millions of fans around the world. I also bought the CD of this concert and when you listen to that, you don't hear the strain in her voice that for some reason is evident when you watch the video. Her renditions of the songs from Les Miz,and Blood Brothers are superb. And by the way, who is the idiot that decided to leave out her incredible rendition of "With One Look" from Sunset Boulevard?? This is outrageous, considering that it IS included on the CD of the same concert.
All in all, get this DVD, by all means, the extras included are a treasure you don't want to miss.
