way to short!.......2005-10-02

I liked this DVD, but it just was way to short! If you really like the osmonds it would be worth it for you, but is you are a casual fan, don't bother.

Best of Miskladen - The Osmonds.......2003-05-05

This is a must for all Osmond fans - although the dvd is only 47 mins long it brought back all the memories of the Osmonds in the 1970's - from their outfits to Jay performing "Crazy Horses"- certainly the audience didn't seem very enthusiastic about it but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing!!

Blast From The Past.......2002-11-24

Relive your childhood watching this DVD. But don't be mislead by the track length of 47 min. I can't believe Pioneer hasn't changed this to the correct length of 30 min yet. Far too short for a Concert DVD.

The Osmonds, the musical brothers from Utah who enjoyed a blockbuster bubblegum career in the 1970s, are captured in 1972 performances taped in Germany as part of the MusikLaden program. Fronted by pinup king Donny, the brothers appear onstage sporting leather (or is it vinyl?) jumpsuits bespangled with rhinestones and color-coordinated silk scarves. Singing frothy pop songs, they even occasionally play their instruments. Those who couldn't stand the Osmonds back then sure won't be won over by this trip into the archives. In fairness, though, if it's viewed as a cultural document, there is a certain innocent charm to the proceedings. There is squealing galore for Donny, who naturally ventures into the audience to kiss a young girl before breaking into dance moves that make him look like a pubescent Elvis. The Osmonds serve up a sugary child's helping of '70s rock, such as during "Crazy Horses," when one of Donny's older brothers fronts the band and cuts loose with a bizarrely awkward if exuberant imitation of Mick Jagger's stage strut. Proof that this was a less cynical time: despite all the artifice, no one seems concerned about hiding the band that's actually playing the instruments, and at times the camera even focuses on the frazzled hippies doggedly wailing away behind a stack of amps. --Robert J. McNamara

A nice, if imperfect, look back.......2004-12-10

As someone who is both a guitarist and familiar with the Osmonds' music, I was afraid that this would turn out to be a lip-synched TV performance--a la American Bandstand. I was pleased to see that it was a live performance and that all of the guitar solos (with the exception of "Down by the Lazy River") were played by Alan and Wayne Osmond. This was obviously a less than ideal concert situation, as the stage was too small for their dance moves and the microphones were mixed terribly. You can hardly hear any of their trademark harmonies, except when Donny is singing his solo songs. Those who wonder whether the Osmonds actually played their instruments will have ample evidence: a (brief) drum solo, some decent guitar playing and several keyboard highlights from Donny. I might have rated this DVD higher if the sound quality had been better. Since I know of no other live video of the Osmonds from this time period, I recommend it highly for Osmond fans.

As a true Osmond fan, I was just a little disappointed in this DVD. Although, I found most parts enjoyable. The way the cover looks I was thinking more of like the concerts I use to attend. If you a are true die hard Osmond fan you will appreciate this DVD and it will bring back memories of the 1970's. If you are more of a Donny & Marie fan, this video is not for you.

The Osmonds In A Different Light.......2001-10-04

As a diehard Osmond fan, I enjoyed this video for the nostalgia and because I never had the opportunity to see the Osmonds in concert in the 70s. I had to chuckle at their dance moves, etc., only because they were so young, and people have a different perspective of things when they get older. At least I do. The video itself did lack in quality. I don't regret buying it and will definitely watch it again.

Got to have this one!.......2001-06-28

If you love the Osmonds you have to have this video. They perform all their greatest hits from the days of Tiger Beat and Teen Beat. Great jumpsuits and dance moves! It will definitely get you to remember your teenage years with a smile.

Awesome music video.......2001-06-20

I bought this video last December down in Branson at the Osmond Family Theater. If you are a fan of the Osmonds, you will certainly enjoy this video. As I watched this tape, the words to every song the Osmonds sang came back to me like I listened to all my Osmond albums yesterday. It's nice to see Marie on the tape as well. Donny is still my favorite Osmond Brother. As you watch this tape, don't be surprised if you start singing along with all the songs.
