4.0 out of 5 stars This could have been a 5 star Video, March 6, 2001
By Diana Smith (Beverly Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I am 55 and have considered myself to be a diehard fan of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons for almost forty years. What a surprise when I learned that I could obtain a very inexpensive video! However, the first six songs were truly uninspiring. Frankie Valli appeared stiff and unsure of himself. His voice was weak and the arrangements were not consistent with the music going on in my head. The Seasons and the band overwhelmed Valli and you could tell he wasn't connecting with the audience. I was shattered by the marginal rendition of "Dawn." After the sixth song "My Eyes Adore You," I felt stricken. Then Frankie turned the mike over to one of the Seasons for a song called "Silver Star" with the note that this song had been recorded--I assumed not too long before the tour. I expected the worst!!! Boy was I wrong! It was the beginning of the video I had hoped for. The song was quite good and the singer's voice was reminiscent of the sixties' Valli. The next song brought Valli back with a change of clothes and, I suspect a change of show, for Frankie was in great form with the beloved "December of 1963" (the only disco song I ever liked). After picking up steam from that, the group belted "Swearing to God" and then went into a short set of Doo Wop songs like only Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons could do. From "Remember When" through "Blue Moon", I was transfixed. This set also gave me an oportunity to get acquainted with the newer Seasons--not the group of my youth. They just made me a believer and kept the "sound" up to the very end. The final songs were pure heaven. The audience was just rockin' out. How I envy them!! I really would prefer to look at this as a 4.75 rather than a 4.0. I'm pretty much only upset about "Dawn" and "Working My Way Back to You". No doubt I will enjoy this video over and over for as many years as I have. I have introduced Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons to my eighteen month old grand-daughter through their Anthology, as I did with her mother and auntie, and when she is a little older I'm sure she'll love the video as well. Her favorite is "Big Girls Don't Cry". I'm delighted that it was played near the end of the show so that it is among the best of the evening.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Video to Watch Numerous Times, January 23, 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Whether or not a video or movie deserves an "A" grade depends on whether it can withstand repeated viewings. This concert by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons fits that qualification. The songs you think of when you think of The Four Seasons are all here in addition to a half way point in the concert of doo wop music. The Four Seasons have always been my favorite singing group and they did not disappoint me in this video. If you enjoy The Four Seasons you owe it to yourself to buy this video.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring and uninspiring, November 27, 2003
By A Customer
As a fan of the Seasons...my Dad drove me all over to see them play in concert, this is probably one of the weakest recordings ever done by the band. Frankie's voice is gone, clearly augmented by the back up group known as the "Seasons". The mixing clearly lowers Frankie's microphone so as not to make his voice the main voice.

That it is only 76 minutes in length is a bigger dissapointment. How can 30 years (At the time) of material be whittled down to only 76 minutes. Too many great songs left off the set, which could have been added had they dropped the lame 50's doo-wop stuff.

I'd rather see a documentary on the history of the group, including t.v. performances and other concert film from their prime. The Seasons have gone through more line-up changes than Yes. If they really want to do a reunion, cure Gaudio's stagefright, make amends with Joe Long and dust off Tommy DeVitto's guitar.

On the plus side, I think Larry Lingle won Mullet of the Year Award for that hair style!

5.0 out of 5 stars Valli & the Seasons at their best!!! A bargain from Amazon.
While this video is 5 years old, it serves as a testament to a group that has treated its audiences to the treasures of Valli's falsetto and the group's fabulous harmonies for 35... Read more
