4.0 out of 5 starsAll things considered, not bad, plus a hidden little bonus
By Philip P. Obbard on April 1, 2006
Format: DVD
My first exposure to Bowie was seeing him on MTV in the "Let's Dance" video back in 1983. While I've since acquired just about everything he's ever recorded, and have no trouble identifying the strongest part of his career as coming to an end around 1980, I still have a fondness for the 1983 incarnation of Mr. Jones. I also - truth be told - love horn-laden, synth-heavy, bright rearrangements of much of the older material showcased on the Serious Moonlight tour, like "Star", "Station to Station", "Scary Monsters", etc.

I enjoyed this video back on VHS, and it has transitioned as well as can be excepted to DVD. I am still annoyed at a few of the artistic choices -- especially truncating the beginning of "Station to Station", as well as omitting tour staples like "Modern Love" and "Star", from the video record -- but at 20 songs, I can't accuse the producers of being skimpy. It serves well as a record of an exciting, commercially successful tour -- and one that isn't as artistically bankrupt as critics claim.

The video quality is still somewhat grainy, but the sound is excellent.

Getting the "Ricochet" documentary as a bonus is a real treat.

Finally, for a hidden bonus: I almost bought the revised SOUND & VISION box set back in 2003 just to get the live b-side version of "Modern Love" -- a rarity from the days of vinyl that had previously not made it to CD. I'm glad I didn't, because it's actually hidden away on this DVD, as the soundtrack for the "Gallery" feature!

3.0 out of 5 starsLet's Dance!
By A Customer on April 7, 2001
Format: DVD
This is the way old tube cameras recorded things back then in the eighties - lights would smear, and soft focus filters and spotlights shining through smoke just add to the at-time-fuzzy, at-times-glossy look. Don't believe the reviews that say the DVD had bad visual mastering; my criteria for this disc is simple: Does it look and sound the way it did when it aired on HBO those many years ago? It does. That's both relief (the master video could have deteriorated - except for a couple split second breaks, it hasn't) and unfortunate (the sound needs to be remixed/remastered). About that all-important sound: Background hiss exists, but what really bothers me is that the mix doesn't do justice to Carlos Alomar's guitar. A modern mix would bring him out more, but who knows if the unmixed audio tapes from the show even exist anymore? At least the vocals are clear. About the show itself, this was Bowie at his most accessible, with everyone dressed up in shirts & suspenders and proper shoes (except for Earl Slick, who looks and acts like he escaped from an episode of Welcome Back Kotter), and just a few smoke and light effects, with some great performances; Cat People sounding great, and even Fame - which often turns into a laborious affair - is engaging.

5.0 out of 5 starsSerious Bowie.
By Cary S. Ashby on November 15, 2004
Format: DVD
Two words - classic Bowie! Taken from the Vancouver show of David Bowie's 1983 world tour, this concert is a great representation of the Thin White Duke's career up to that point. Bowie's voice is strong and his performance epitomizes the charisma and energy for which his live shows are known. Although not nearly as theatrical as the Ziggy Stardust through Diamond Dogs era ('72-'74) or the Glass Spider tour ('87), it's a fun concert filled with lots of hits. Except for "Sorrow" and "The Cracked Actor", Bowie performs no Ziggy-era songs, but he does indulge in a Hamlet-esque, show-stopping rendition of the latter. Dressed very dapper in baggy suits, Bowie parades the stage, playing with the audience and giving them their money's worth. His band is one of his strongest - with Earl Slick on lead guitar, Tony Thompson on drums, and the funky saxophone section, The Borneo Horns, to name a few. A masterful performance. In summary: a must for die-hard Bowie-heads and a great way to get started for those not acquainted with the music of the talented David Bowie

5.0 out of 5 starsUnderestimated
By Philippe Olivier on August 15, 2003
Format: DVD
If we take a look at Bowie's career so far(1964-2003), a lot of fans will say the 1969-1980 period was by far the best. It's true. But I would extend it from 1967 to 1984 (going to 1986 if we include the enjoyable Labyrinth soundtrack). According to me, The Serious Moonlight Tour was the best ever for Bowie, despite the fact that Bowie himself said its worst period was 1983-1984... Let's say he doesn't like fame, but enjoy the money !!! The interpretation of songs like «Life on mars», «Rebel Rebel», «Young Americans», «Fame», «Space Oddity» and «Cat People» are close to perfection, better than the LPS.
The presentation of the songs, the crowd, the technical aspects makes this video one of the best I have ever seen. I only hope that one day, Bowie will admit that the Let's Dance period was as good artistically as the amazing Ziggy Stardust and Thin White Duke periods, completing a trilogy of eccentricity, coolness and fame...

5.0 out of 5 starsgreat straightforward concert
By Enrique Paolo Valte Ursua on May 13, 2007
Format: DVD
This how a David Bowie concert is meant to be: the songs are delivered the way they sound on record as precise and better; the musicians and singer can ad lib without being self-indulgent; and having more than 20 songs on the set within that durations gives you the concert goer your moneys worth. I have been to a Bowie concert myself and I really enjoy watching it live and this dvd shows how it really looks like live.
