dancin in the street.......2007-06-26

I own this dvd and have owned it for several years. I did not get it from this site. I amazingly found it in a store and the only reason that I bought it was because of David Ruffin. When I first bought it I watched the whole show, but with subsequent viewings, I only watch the parts with David and Eddie Kendricks. Now I did not pay alot for it but it was worth every penny just to see these two. I had never had the pleasere of seeing them in concert before and i was not disappointed. David is masterful on stage and it makes me very sad that I never was able to see him in person. If you have the opportunity to buy the dvd, DO SO! you will not be disappointed either. If you are a David Ruffin fan or Temptations fan.
The only bad thing about the concert in general is the rest of the show is forgetable.

I just don't get it. Some reviewers rate this DVD based on all of the performances from all of the performers. That would be like judging a Muhammad Ali fight based on the undercard. Who cares? It is extra gravy. Ruffin, one of the best vocalists and entertainers ever, becomes the center of attention as soon as he, well, walks on center stage. He singlehandedly makes this a 5-Star review. I bought this DVD solely to see him and Eddie Kendricks perform. With a DVD, you can skip the preliminaries--as I suggest you do--and go straight to the chase. Ruffin, Motown's greatest act, was the Temptations. Make no bones about it. Though they would have been a good group without him, they became untouchable with him. Ruffin's solo career, because Motown did not properly promote it, did not live up to its billing. His work was as good, but it simply was not promoted as it should have been. The music from his post-Temptations days remains, arguably, the least appreciated music there is. I had the privilege of seeing him perform twice. Once, just before he left the Tempts. A second time, while he was performing with Eddie Kendricks in a show similar to this. Both times he was simply electrifying. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. This goes to my major gripe regarding this DVD: Poor camera work. The director must have gotten a whiff of some wacky weed for he misses ALL of Ruffin's splits and most of his dancing. Instead, entirely too much time is devoted to the splendid dance moves of the background singers (who are EXCELLENT, but Ruffin should have been showcased more. What a shame. Nevertheless, if you want to know what REAL soul is, check this DVD out. If you're not tapping your feet throughout, especially on the grand finale, "I Know I'm Losing You," have someone check your pulse.

Listening to your the favorite music of your young adulthood can be saddening and uplifting. We find out that the idols of your youth have aged, just like you. Some of the stars, like Martha Reeves, should let her songs live in our memories. Edie Kendricks and David Ruffin, on the other hand, show that time may have taken the glitter off their voice in their prime but they still have it; the charisma and showmanship are still stellar. Even if nature has made their voices a little ragged in places, age has enriched their ability to interpete the songs with greater subtlety.

MOTOWN REVIEW.......2005-09-19

The sound and picture quality was excellent. David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks were the best performers overall.

Dancing in The Street.......2005-09-17

The performance by David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks is extroadinary. Eddie has lost some of his voice by this age but David Ruffin may just be the best Motown ever produced. At this age he demonstrates vocal ability that even Marvin or Michael never had. I only wish more concert video of these two were available. It is sad that todays musicians aren't even on the same scale of these two. I would have pruchased the DVD for twice the price.
