Some things never change--and when it comes to the Everly Brothers, that's definitely a good thing. Seen here performing at London's Royal Albert Hall in 1983 following a lengthy and acrimonious split, Don and Phil barely miss a beat. They were in their mid-40s, and performing together for the first time in some 10 years (Phil had smashed a guitar and walked offstage in what you might call a fit of pique), but their harmonies are as perfect as ever, to the point where it's hard to tell who's singing which part. Backed by a band of crack British musicians, they run through some 21 songs, including a dizzying array of hits. "Crying in the Rain," "Wake Up Little Susie," "Cathy's Clown," "Bye Bye Love": the Everlys may not have written most of their tunes, but they sure know how to pick 'em. This is the real deal. --Sam Graham
Description
After years of separation, the two voices and acoustic guitars that laid the foundation for pop music were united again to harmonize in London's Royal Albert Hall as thousands of fans who flocked to the scene were joined by generations of musicians they inspired, from the Beatles to the Beach Boys. With an all-star band featuring keyboardist Pete Wingfield, guitartists Albert Lee and Martin Jenner and drummer Graham Jarvis, the Everly Brothers sing 20 of their greatest songs, proving originals are still the best. Songs: Claudette, Walk Right Back, Crying in the Rain, Cathy's Clown, Love Is Strange, When Will I Be Loved?, So Sad (To Watch Love Go Bad), Bird Dog, Be-Bop-a-Lula, Barbara Allen, A Long Time Gone, Step It Up and Go, Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Devoted to You, Love Hurts, ('Til) I Kissed You, All I Have to Do Is Dream, Lucille, Let It Be Me.

4 out of 5 stars Everly Brothers Reunion Concert.......2007-05-13

An excellent production, lets me re-live the concert I saw many years ago. Great memories.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2006-12-17

My older sisters were of the generation for the Everly Brothers but I think I had them in my psyche. I am of the Beatles generation but I can hear the Everly Brothers in the Beatles. Regardless of the generation, the E.Brother's music are part country and part rock. Listening to them on this DVD brings tears to my eyes. Their voices are so pure and they soar to beautiful heights.

This is one great DVD and I can recommend it to anybody who wants to hear the genesis of rock & roll even before Chuck Berry. Beautiful music, beautiful voices. Worth the price.

2 out of 5 stars A Soulless Disappointment.......2006-03-17

I bought the DVD sight unseen for a friend adding a copy for myself. It was good seeing the Everly Brothers performing together again. They brought their tuxes. They brought their Guitars. They forgot to bring their souls. Don and Phil Everly clunked their way mechanically through all their great hits. The performance was better than simply mediocre. But the SOUL, that thing that animates a performance and brings life to it and makes it true art, was missing. I am old enough to have seen the Everly Brothers perform live and on television giving far more animated and engaged performances than their "Reunion Concert" in Royal Albert Hall. The magic is gone; probably forever. It is a tragic loss to music, to the Everly Brothers fans and to those of us who came up during this exciting period of musical change.

Thank you!

5 out of 5 stars The reunion Worth thier effort.......2005-09-15

Perfect harmony, perfect songs and even more important perfect delivery! A must have in your collection where songs were written and sung that had meaning and were understood. Too bad we had to wait so long for their reunion. What a waste of talent!
Definetly worth the cost and a collectors item.

5 out of 5 stars Great Concert.......2005-09-03
