Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Famous for their stirring love songs and soaring vocal lines, Air Supply was one of the most popular soft-pop bands in the 1980s. This 2001 DVD companion to the 1999 CD release features new introductions by Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell and a wonderful selection of live concert footage and music videos, primarily from the 1980s, but some recent footage as well. The DVD opens with Hitchcock and Russell's description of a chance, 1975 meeting at a Melbourne rehearsal for Jesus Christ Superstar that led to the 1976 formation of the duo Air Supply. Hitchcock and Russell preface each of the 15 musical selections with background information about the song and their reflections about individual performances and venues. The romantic music of Air Supply is well represented by songs such as "Lost in Love," "Sweet Dreams," and "Now and Forever," and the crystal-clear video footage is packed with interesting camera angles and romantic effects. The Dolby 5.1 surround sound is impressive--the only exception being the live concert version of "Every Woman in the World," in which the lead vocals seem muffled and overpowered by the background tracks. Optional onscreen lyrics accompany "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," and "The One That You Love." Air Supply fans won't want to miss this great compilation of favorite songs. --Tami Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars A Prelude To X to Z(Ecstasy for the short-minded).......2007-01-06

Please miss the Why or Y question why i like this DVD. Start from X to Z. Great tunes. A never-ending list for my great classical ear for music. Just skip 96.1 FM here in Jax., Fl ok. And you'll know what I mean.

Just look at the C(see) with your eyeball straight ahead to the television even on the go.

Rigght!!!

With Love

2 out of 5 stars Not as good as I had expected.......2006-08-18

I like Air Supply songs. This DVD is a big disappointment. Sound quality could have been better.

4 out of 5 stars Amazon.com & Product Descriptions Do Not Match - Read On..........2006-03-30

Definitely a must have product for a true Air Aupply Fan. A trip back in time to the late 70's and 80's. I have to admit, I actually saw them live in concert in the mid 80's while going to college in Providence Rhode Island (hey, I also saw U2).

Now on to the video selections and descriptions. The Amazon.com review is more accurate - it indicates the DVD has 15 videos and opens with the guys from the band talking about how they met. This is accurate. However, the product description names 18 songs - 7 of which are NOT on the DVD I own. The DVD I own (with a UPC number that matches the Amazon.com listing: 078221469296) has 4 songs that are NOT listed in the Product Decsription.

I purchased my DVD through an Amazon Seller, and everything about the product appears real (it was still factory sealed).

Regardless of the product content error, the collection is still excellent, and the overall quality is very good to excellent as well.

Here are the 15 tracks on the DVD version I own (the ones with an asterisk * are not listed in the product description):
1. Lost in Love
2. All Out of Love
3. Every Woman in the World
4. The One that You Love
5. Here I Am (Just When I Thought I was Over You)
6. Sweet Dreams (Live)
7. Even the Nights are Better
8. Young Love
9. Making Love Out of Nothing at All
10. Just As I Am
11. The Power of Love (You Are My Lady) *
12. Lonely is the Night *
13. Keeping the Love Alive *
14. One More Chance *
15. Now and Forever

3 out of 5 stars Air Supply look much better in 2004.......2004-09-01

I am surprised to see how much they aged on this DVD. They look a lot better now in the recent August, 2004 performance at Casino Rama. Russell voice is even stronger and richer comparing to those early years. I am totally impressed. It was a great concert.

North American fans may not have a chance to listen to 'Keeping The Love Alive' on air . It was a big hit in Asia and they deliver it live on this DVD. Now and Forever are tastefully arranged showing clippings of their past performances and still pictures. Still wish 'Without You' is included in this DVD. All in all, this DVD made you travel back in time to those late 70's early 80's years.

5 out of 5 stars I love Air Supply!!!.......2004-08-15

I have always been a fan of Air Supply. The music soothes something within me and I feel so uplifted every time I listen to their songs. The songs describe my feelings of love exactly. I wish I could express to Graham and Russell how wonderful I know their music is. I grew up listening to them and I will continue to listen to their music. There just isn't anything bad anyone should be able to say about this group.I love, love, love Air Supply!!
