Customer Reviews

You must add this to your archives!
This video is one of the better made and edited reggae video I have seen. It features some of the top singers and DJs like Wayne Wonder, Beres Hammond, Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, Buju, Bearning Spear, Maxie Priest, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Garnett Silk. The performances are taken from several concerts held in Jamaica and and overseas. A majority of the video was shot at Sting "94 and JapanSplash 1994. DVD sound quality certainly adds a new dimension to this video. It would be nice to have a similar video made that highlights more of the individual performances of each singer and/or DJ (Dennis Brown, Garnett Silk, Luciano, Buju etc.)

Must Have for Reggae Collectors
This video may be a little boring by today's standards (it's about 10 + yrs old), but the coverage of DENNIS BROWN, LUCIANO, SHAGGY, MAXI PRIEST, YAMI BOLO, AND GARNETT SILK are crucial 'must have' items for any true reggae music collector!

The production & editing are excellent (especially by REGGAE standards....as many reggae videos are poorly produced)

Reggae = yes, Movie = no
I enjoyed this film more in the theatre (better sound). As I viewed it again, it's pretty boring. There's no dialog. It's not even a movie really. It's just concert footage. The Mystic Revealers are especially boring. I wish it featured more Luciano, and Garnett Silk...
