Customer Reviews

ATROCIOUS!!!
I agree with all the negative reviews: save your money! As a Diana Ross fan since her days as a Primette, I am mystified that there has never been an official release of any of her solo concerts (Central Park anyone?) or the many great shows she did with the Supremes (the final concert at the Frontier Hotel?). What gives, Diana? Berry? Whoever owns the Motown catalog these days? Having collected this concert in every format that it has appeared in since VHS, I can say with complete confidence that this DVD is the WORST; it's so awful that it might as well be Freddie Poole on the stage. The laser disc (remember those?) has the best version of this concert and there is a Brazilian all-region DVD that's almost as good. Keep moving and happy hunting!

Huge disappointment
I understand that this concert was recorded thirty years ago, so I was not expecting a brand new, never-before-seen show. However, although one reviewer here referred to this new DVD issue as "remastered," I see no evidence of that at all. It looks like an old VHS recording that has been transferred to DVD and shows all the wear-and-tear of those thirty years. What I had expected was a sharper picture and higher quality sound, but this product does not deliver that. It is grainy and muddy and is a disservice to the artist and the audience.

Diana at Her Peak !
NOTE: This concert is a remastered version of a show from September of 1979, and was first aired as a special on HBO during Thanksgiving Weekend of 1979.

Since her days as a Supreme, Diana Ross is at her best on stage, and she drew a legion of hardcore fans that would attend every concert they could.
Diana also became a sought after headliner for Casino Showrooms, and this show was taped at the Circus Maximus room at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

First I must state that a key reason I continue to enjoy watching this show is beacuse it focuses on my favorite Diana Ross album, The Boss, that was released in 1979. Five (5) of this shows songs come from this album, I Ain't Been Licked, No One Gets The Prize, It's My House, The Boss, and All For One.

The rest of the set list is made up of her classic solo hits like, Touch Me In The Morning, Do You Know Where Your Going To, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, and one nod to the Supreme's era, a short take on Baby Love. In fact this was the only tour of Diana's not to include a medley of Superme's songs.

Ms. Ross rounds the show out with a medley of songs from Lady Sings The Blue's, the always popular, Reach Out and Touch, featuring cameos with the late Marvin Gaye, and Ross' 3 daughters. Two other songs include the introspective, Remember Me, and the beautiful Stevie Wonder composition, To Shy To Say.

This show is also from an era when casino's would schedule two (2) headliner shows per night, and required that the shows not exceed 60 minutes. Thats said, the staging and pacing of this show are second to none, and it shows the professional that Diana is.
