Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge.......2007-05-07

If you liked the Crests, you'll love this dvd. Great sound and a good picture. Johnny sounds better then ever.

5 out of 5 stars What a treat!.......2007-04-27

Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge deliver a solid concert performance. I have watched this DVD many, many times, and I enjoy it just as much as the first time. I do agree with an earlier review that the interview segments should have been separate from the concert. However, listening to Johnny Maestro's incredible vocals is wonderful in any context. There is a richness to his voice that the years have only made better. Great singer, great band, great songs.

5 out of 5 stars Johnny Maestro & Brooklyn Bridge.......2007-01-22

I received my CD quickly and I am pleased with the product.

5 out of 5 stars enjoyable concert.......2006-04-02

Johnny Maestro has a wonderful voice. This concert DVD is very entertaining and the behind the scene interviews by the group make it very interesting. It is very refreshing to see this group perform. They sing their #1 hits. They really enjoy singing and dancing and putting on the best show. Anyone who is a fan of Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge will get lots of pleasure out of this DVD.

5 out of 5 stars Like an aged wine.......2006-03-01

Some voices mellow through the years and assume a timber which belies the ravages of time. So it is with Johnny and the Bridge. Sounding in great voice, the boys re-visit many of their tunes from days passed by and make you glad that they did. With inter-spaced interviews between songs, the concert speaks for itself as it glides through the musical years on a sled of glass. If you enjoyed them then, you will enjoy them now. A must buy for fans who have been running the course for years, and those who are just joining in. A great concert by an ongoing class act.
