Famous for their stirring love songs and soaring vocal lines, Air Supply was one of the most popular soft-pop bands in the 1980s. This 2001 DVD companion to the 1999 CD release features new introductions by Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell and a wonderful selection of live concert footage and music videos, primarily from the 1980s, but some recent footage as well. The DVD opens with Hitchcock and Russell's description of a chance, 1975 meeting at a Melbourne rehearsal for Jesus Christ Superstar that led to the 1976 formation of the duo Air Supply. Hitchcock and Russell preface each of the 15 musical selections with background information about the song and their reflections about individual performances and venues. The romantic music of Air Supply is well represented by songs such as "Lost in Love," "Sweet Dreams," and "Now and Forever," and the crystal-clear video footage is packed with interesting camera angles and romantic effects. The Dolby 5.1 surround sound is impressive--the only exception being the live concert version of "Every Woman in the World," in which the lead vocals seem muffled and overpowered by the background tracks. Optional onscreen lyrics accompany "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," and "The One That You Love." Air Supply fans won't want to miss this great compilation of favorite songs. --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

Amazon.com & Product Descriptions Do Not Match - Read On...
Definitely a must have product for a true Air Aupply Fan. A trip back in time to the late 70's and 80's. I have to admit, I actually saw them live in concert in the mid 80's while going to college in Providence Rhode Island (hey, I also saw U2).

Now on to the video selections and descriptions. The Amazon.com review is more accurate - it indicates the DVD has 15 videos and opens with the guys from the band talking about how they met. This is accurate. However, the product description names 18 songs - 7 of which are NOT on the DVD I own. The DVD I own (with a UPC number that matches the Amazon.com listing: 078221469296) has 4 songs that are NOT listed in the Product Decsription.

I purchased my DVD through an Amazon Seller, and everything about the product appears real (it was still factory sealed).

Regardless of the product content error, the collection is still excellent, and the overall quality is very good to excellent as well.

Here are the 15 tracks on the DVD version I own (the ones with an asterisk * are not listed in the product description):
1. Lost in Love
2. All Out of Love
3. Every Woman in the World
4. The One that You Love
5. Here I Am (Just When I Thought I was Over You)
6. Sweet Dreams (Live)
7. Even the Nights are Better
8. Young Love
9. Making Love Out of Nothing at All
10. Just As I Am
11. The Power of Love (You Are My Lady) *
12. Lonely is the Night *
13. Keeping the Love Alive *
14. One More Chance *
15. Now and Forever

Experiencing an awesome journey with Air Supply
I absolutely love this DVD, and am so thankful that someone thought enough to put it together. I cherish it for so many reasons...the interviews with Graham and Russell - two men who have inspired me more than they'll ever know. After all, they've sung about things I've felt deep in my heart, they've written words I haven't been able to so eloquently speak (Graham Russell, I love you for that), the memories, and the promise of more Air Supply in the future. I'm delighted that this group has stood the test of time, and that they continue to make music that means so much to so many of us. Thanks to them for being so generous to their fans over the years, and for not being too discouraged when times got tough. The video clips of past concerts in this DVD are such a treasure! It warms my heart to hear the music, it touches my soul to re-live the memories, and has left an everlasting impression in my life! Thanks Air Supply!

Wonderful collection of Air Supply a
This is a wonderful collection of the great Air Supply songs of the 1980's. The description given by Amazon is incorrect in that there are no performances from the Live in Hawaii special. Also Air Supply was wrongly overlooked and not invited to the Arista 25th anniversary special. However, the footage is wonderful. There's a nice mix of videos and live performaces. It's great to have this all in one package and on DVD. The best part was to hear Graham and Russell in the present talk about these old hits and share their thoughts about them. Definitely worth every penny!
