not available, never received it.......2007-05-10

I never received this product, did it ship? Where is it? Still waiting to receive it. Linda Briggeman

Save your money!.......2007-04-22

I've recently purchased quite a few classic rock DVDs and have enjoyed every one until now. If Gary had at least TRIED to sing the songs somewhat like the originals, it might have been ok, but he butchers them. He sounds (and acts) like a tacky lounge singer, or as Simon Cowell would say, "Bad karaoke". He uses this quiver in his voice and all I can hear is the Cowardly Lion from "The Wizard of Oz" singing "If I Were King of the Forest".

Warning: Watching this DVD may be harmful to your memories of some great music. Watch it at your own risk.

I doubt that I'll ever watch it again.

Gary Puckett rocks on the stage!.......2006-12-22

Many people thought Gary Puckett was a flash-in-the-pan,with or without his band The Union Gap. On this DVD,you'll see Puckett with a new "Union Gap" rocking live with his six Top 20 hits WOMAN WOMAN,YOUNG GIRL,LADY WILLPOWER,DON'T GIVE IN TO HIM,OVER YOU,THIS GIRL IS A WOMAN NOW and others. GP&TUG put out five Columbia Records albums between 1967 and '70,including GARY PUCKETT & THE UNION GAP'S GREATEST HITS(the '70 release) which features one or two original tracks. Then,Puckett went solo and also re-recorded the band's hits several times which were identical to the original recordings. Anyway,if you're a "solid gold oldies" fan,this item is for you.

Still a joy.......2006-07-18

After reading some of the reviews, I wasn't really sure what to expect of this DVD. However, I would have been astounded if, after nearly 40 years, these songs didn't sound different. Yes, they do, but they are still wonderful which has not only a lot to do with Gary Puckett's beautiful voice, but also with his natural charisma. He comes across as a genuine and sincere person and someone who really enjoys his audience. I have only seen this DVD six times in the two weeks since I received it, but I enjoy it more each time I watch it. The interview is also a special bonus. I look forward to many more years of listening to his wonderful voice.

Gary had an off night.......2006-05-07

Sorry, but Gary Puckett obviously had an off night when this concert was recorded. He hardly sounds like himself. At times he's even a bit off key.
It's not just a matter of aging. I have CDs he has done in recent years and have heard him in concert, so I know he can sound even better than he did during his hit making years. It's just a shame they didn't record him in concert another night.
Gary Puckett is one of my favorite singers, but I found this DVD unlistenable.
