Live in Hawaii (With Bonus DVD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although most of the songs on the Hawaii concert are the same as the earlier Tiki-Tour albums (Cincinatti, Mannsfield, etc.) this concert stands out far above the rest...and easily rivals his previous live albums such as Feeding Frenzy and Tues-Thurs-Sat. Why? Because the energy and playfulness of this album is far beyond anything Jimmy has done in years. This is Jimmy at his best. The instrumentation is crystal clear and the transition of songs works extremely well, and with wonderful introductions. This concert rocks from start to finish and offers great versions of his classic and newest songs, while flawlessly mixing in a variety of musical styles such as Hula, Zydeco, Latin, and Jitterbug Swing. This is the ultimate concert...and easily stands on its own. Great Job Jimmy! If I could only own one Jimmy Buffett album, this would definitely be the one. It has it all.

Blue Hawaii (1961) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What is a self-proclaimed intellectual doing watching (and loving) Elvis films? I make no claims about Norman Taurog as a director, nor about the credibility of the script, nor about the authenticity of the Hawaiian music. I DO claim, however, that Elvis is the The King. The songs, the music, and the singing are fantastic. Everything else is strung onto Elvis like strings of popcorn around a Christmas tree.
Not all Elvis films are this good. What makes this one better are the glossy production values; and the letterbox print definitely helps. Angela Lansbury puts in a highly amusing performance as Elvis's ditzy Southern Belle mama (after all, Hawaii is the southernmost state, no?). The whole story hinges around Elvis's return from the military and his desire to return to his cozy beach bum existence, while mater and pater want him to join the family pineapple firm.
The King, of course, is subject to no law. He goes into the tour guide business, marshalling a well-preserved teacher and her four teenage charges around the islands. His Franco-Hawaiian girlfriend is jealous that there's more than tourism going on behind closed doors.
At the end, everything comes together. Elvis gets hitched AND finds a way to work in tourism and for the pineapple firm at the same time. All is at peace in the world, and the music wells up. Finis.

Janet - Live in Hawaii (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is Janet so of course I had to give this 5 stars and its worth it. If you saw the concert you know its amazing. If you haven't read on. The concert starts off with janet running around the beach and under the waterfall topless and then she enters the stage fully clothed, amazing how does she do it. She plays the songs "If, That's the way love goes, All for you", and more of the classics and the new ones but nothing compares to the stage performance of "Would you mind". She has way out done her performance of "Rope Burn". In "Would you mind" she of course gets a guy out the audience and she puts him on this table specially made for a person that moves around and that's all I can tell you about it. The features are even better. It has a photo gallery, rehearsel, and a series of performances of "Would you mind" around the United States. The only bad thing I have about the DVD is that the crowd in Hawaii were not as wild as the New York crowd. The crowd had their burst of excitement but not full shouting like the New York crowd. The DVD is worth the money, the concert also last way over 2 hours long.
