Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have always been a Gary Puckett fan, and was very excited to learn that a current DVD was available in which he performed several of his big hits. But I do have to say that I held off purchasing it because of some of the negative reviews I read here. But while I have tremendous respect for the reviewers who took the time to share their opinions, reviews and assessments can often be quite subjective, and what someone else thinks may differ significantly from what I think -- in either direction. So I bought the DVD, and I'm very glad that I did. I really enjoyed it, and thought the performance was very good. It was also nice to watch the "back stage" interview, which gave me a new insight on and appreciation of Gary which I had not had from just listening to records (which I still have), cassettes (ditto), and CDs. I guess my take on this is the same as my take on the Gary Lewis and the Playboys DVD which I bought at the same time, and other DVDs like the various Petula Clark ones I have purchased, all of which I have enjoyed -- I consider it a real treat that these legends continue performing and that through the DVDs I have the chance to see them when they do not happen to be performing in my neck of the woods. Do they sound like they did 40 years ago? That would be impossible (as I have proven on my own recent CDs - see www.lawtunes.com). But these current performances and interpretations are a piece of music history and having them available to us is a gift which I for one very much appreciate.
