Product Type: DVD

Only the most dedicated party poopers could find serious complaint with this inspired performance by soul crooner Teddy Pendergrass. After suffering a serious spinal cord injury in a 1982 car accident, the now-wheelchair-bound singer took the better part of two decades to resume live performances; following a return to the stage in 2001, he recorded this 76-minute, 14-song performance at Los Angeles's Wiltern Theater on Valentine's Day '02. No, his voice doesn't have the same raw power it had before the accident, but the material is solid (from solo hits like "Close the Door" to a terrific medley of tunes from his days with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes), and Pendergrass's sheer joy at being back in front of an appreciative audience is palpable. DVD bonus features include an eight-minute featurette (with band interviews, rehearsal footage, etc.) and a five-and-a-half minute interview with Pendergrass himself. --Sam Graham

Ready Teddy.......2005-07-26

Few artists have affected me as Teddy Pendergrass has. Jackie Wilson is my all-time favorite singer/performer. David Ruffin, Teddy Pendergrass and Otis Redding are in the next tier, with other soul artists coming afterwards.
From the mid-1970's 'till today, I have played Teddy's music incessantly. In fact, the night before his tragic March 1982 car accident, I was playing his music--as he would say--over and over and over again.
When I need a boost, I watch concert footage of him from the early 1980's. I had heard about this performance about six months ago and recently bought it. However, it took me some time to watch it. I just wasn't ready to let go of the old vibrant Teddy. I watched it a few days ago with tears in my eyes. Teddy is still the man.
Some of the best music ever made was made by the Teddy Bear. Teddy proves that a succesful life involves not being dealt a good hand, but in successfully playing the cards that you were dealt.
We have lost Jackie, David and Otis. Though Teddy was nearly taken from us, we are truly blessed that he is still here. In this concert, he delivers an extremely thoughtful and powerful performance.
I truly love him and want all to know that this footage is an emotional experience.

TRULY INSPIRING!!!.......2005-06-28

I didn't know what to expect from this concert. Let me tell
you, it did not disappoint! If you like, Harold Melvin and
the blue notes, or Teddys solo hits, you will love this concert!
You look, and sound fantastic! God bless you TP!
