Simply Superb.......2007-05-09

This DVD is a real blessing for me because the group isn't coming anywhere close to me anytime soon. The video editing and production is generally fine, and for the most part doesn't intrude on the performances. However, the audio quality is just great, so for best results, play loud! My great hope is that these guys will sell enough units to allow them to do another studio album to follow up "In Session". I heartily recommend this DVD for anybody who loves being amazed by true masters doing their thing.

The Four Freshmen Live from Las Vegas: "You Stepped Out of a Dream".......2007-03-11

I have been a fan of the Four Freshmen since the 1950's, and the current group which bears the torch for the FF tradition is absolutely SENSATIONAL! The vocal blend of Brian, Curtis, Vince, and Bob is energetic and stylistically true to the original Freshmen sound, and each member is a virtuoso instrumentalist in his own right. You FF die-hards out there are about to be AMAZED! Three very minor issues on this product: 1) the placement of "Indian Summer" is listed incorrectly in both places on the DVD jacket, although correctly listed on the DVD's Menu itself; 2) as the credits rolled at the end, I was settling-in for "My One and Only Love," only to have it cut short as the credits faded (darn); 3) finally, the sparse, "live" audience at the Suncoast Hotel in Las Vegas did not do justice to the spell-binding performance of these four chaps--the response of the audience was "tired" and void of any true understanding of the talent, or of the genre for that matter, of the performance they were experiencing. Had I been there, I would have been yelling, screaming, and clapping until my hands were raw! As original Freshman, Bob Flanigan, said in his introduction, "This group is the best Four Freshmen of all time." I think he's right!

It's a Blue World.......2006-11-08

This is a great performance by the current Four Freshmen roster. The only other video recordings of the Freshmen you can buy are on the "Easy Street" VHS or DVD, and those are all from a 1950's TV show and often involved the group acting out their song on a set. This is over 20 songs from a live performance, where they play their own instruments, and very well at that. The harmonies of course are dead-on and in my opinion the current group's vocal projection is even better and clearer than the older groups. I was also surprised to see how well each of them play their respective instrument.

Customer Reviews:

good stuff!.......2005-08-02

Very clever comedy with excellent skills shown by the writer/director/actor Tom Huang. I particularly thought the dialogue balanced the funny with the dramatic and the movie gives you a good feel (or reminder) of the hardships, fun and growth that occur during freshman year.

True to life.......2004-06-22

Good intelligent movie. Reminded me a lot of the college experience. Very witty writing. Well balanced movie that is both poignant and funny. As a bonus has a good short film included in the DVD.

The bonus short film is excellent!.......2004-05-08

The main movie is good but I actually got this DVD for the bonus material, specifically the short film "Red Thread". I'd seen it at a film festival and thought it was funny and sweet. Plus, the main characters are Asian American and that appealed to me. The lead actress is Keiko Agena from "The Gilmore Girls".
