Product Description

R&B legend Rick James was one of the most influential black musicians of all time. As an artist, songwriter and producer, James provided the funky hits that resuscitated Motown Records in the late ‘70s. His Punk Funk sound updated the label’s style and saw it through the mid-’80s. By 1981, Rick was at the peak of his commercial success with the platinum selling Street Songs album and the hit singles "Super Freak" and "Give It to Me Baby."

The following year, Rick James & the Stone City Band took the stage in Essen, Germany to open the 10th Rockpalast-Festival. This 1982 performance was the first time James played in Europe, bringing his brand of American Punk Funk to a whole new audience. Together with the Stone City Band, James did not disappoint, burning up the stage with his trademark sound and special effects.

Now for the first-time, this classic performance is available on DVD. Featuring classic hits like "You and I," "Mary Jane," and of course, "Super Freak," this is Rick James at his very best. Super Freak 1982 is not only a must-have collectors item but also a fitting tribute to an R&B legend.

Customer Reviews

Pretty damn good performance!
I've been to and have seen some very nice concerts and this one was on point. This is one of the best concerts that i've seen on dvd. I had the pleasure of seeing Rick James back in 1998 here in Detroit at the Fox theatre and he gave one heck of a show then. That was when he had just gotten out of prison. I would recommend this dvd to any true Rick James fan. This is a classic performance. I went out and copped it soon as it became available.

Sorry, god rest his soul, but this video was not my cup of tee. I ejected it from the tv.

Rick has always been a character, i liked the concert. But the crowd was so quiet at one point, i didn't know they were there!!
