Movie ReviewsKiller!! Christine E. Peard | Los Altos, CA United States | 07/25/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Jerry Lee gives an absolutely electrifying performance! No doubt in my mind that he still "has it" and any fan of his will "want it"! He literally rocks the stage! Don't miss this downright orgasmic experience!" Best Video So Far Raven A. Ruch | Vancouver, WA USA | 02/03/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've just "discovered" Jerry Lee Lewis since getting the "Last Man Standing" CD. I have always known of his existence, but not much of his music. I recently got this DVD and I have to agree with the reviewer that said it was a "truly orgasmic experience". This man was hot back in 1969. He is incredible. My only wish is that it would have been about 3 hours longer. Now all I want is more Jerry Lee. Wow. What a show." Lousy production values ruin promising project... little grey kitty | Santa Fe, NM USA | 07/02/2009 (2 out of 5 stars) "I am a huge Jerry Lee Lewis fan, and it's with reluctance
I don't recommend this dvd. I have often wondered why D.A. Pennebaker's fim of the 1969 Toronto Rock 'n Roll Revival Peace Festival has never been released as a whole. Now I know why, bad sound. Of course the sound of the live performances is great compared to the sound of the archaic video clips interspersed among the live performances. While watching this dvd I constantly had to adjust the volume. The sound of the old video clips is way below that of the live segments. As for the live performances you get barely audible piano on most songs, tinny guitar, and too much bass. Only the drums seem to have been recorded properly. As for Jerry's performance I would say it's about average for that time period. There are other dvds of this festival, one with Little Richard, and the recently released John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, all using Pennebaker's film footage. After watching this dvd, I will probably pass them up. If you want to see Jerry in his prime, get the Austin City Limits 1983 show on dvd." |
