Grab it, he's the BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Jun 9 2006
By Joseph J. Brigante "Joseph Brigante" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Culture Club 1984 Live in Sydn (DVD)
This was the last concert known where Helen Terry performed with Culture Club, right before she went to do her own gig. But what really makes it such a gem is that this is the only concert available where we can see Boy George and Helen perform That's The Way (I'm Only Trying to Help You). This song is their best chemistry. As just like A Kiss Across the Ocean, the group performs Melting Pot, a song we never here any more. Grab it! How many times will you see Culture Club perform eight songs from their centerpiece album Colour By Numbers? Thanks for reading!!!

I'd call you a liar if you said you didn't love Culture Club in their hey-day, Feb 14 2007
By George Dionne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Culture Club 1984 Live in Sydn (DVD)
If you're over the age of 25, I'd call you a liar if you said you didn't love Culture Club in their hey-day. Live in Sydney captures the group at the height of their popularity with a fifteen song set that mixes longtime favorites with rare gems. the lighting, performance, and production may not be as slick as the DVDs put out today, but it's Boy George's voice that carries the show. Although it's an average show, it's a perfect slice of eighties pop culture.

Well....., Jun 14 2006
By Nathan R. Moberg "Nate Dawwg" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Culture Club 1984 Live in Sydn (DVD)
I was so excited to see another DVD feat. a live performance of Culture Club after I was very happy with the Kiss Across the Ocean concert from the Greatest Videos release. I was a little disappointed tho. His vocals on the first songs like MISTER MAN are not nearly as solid as Kiss Across the Ocean. He ad-libs many of the lyrics and its kinda annoying. (I wonder how far he was into his drug phase at this time). The band as a whole doesn't seem to gel as nicely as they did during the KATO and there is less interaction between Boy George and they other bandmates, besides Helen Terry. The songs come at a very fast pace and he doesn't really introduce the songs, one after another after another. Next, I do not care for the 1984 long hair with a big bow (or the ugly police cap he's wearing) look compared to the hat and the braids.There are definately some highlights on this DVD tho. The featurette is short but contains some good footage and interviews. My favorite part has to be "THAT'S THE WAY" (I'M ONLY TRYING TO HELP YOU) number with Helen Terry. They rock the vocals together and it is one of my favorite songs off of Colour By Numbers. Also, the song MELTING POT is a great close to the concert. The play list is also a little better then KATO, and he does a much better job on the vocals on most songs. (esp. VICTIMS. I miss the full ochestra they had on that song on KATO as well.) But I still enjoyed myself!
All in all, it's a must have for any Culture Club fan, if the wardrobe and styling is lacking, Boy George more than makes it up with better vocals. It's worth the price too. Im looking forward to more releases of live Culture Club gigs, and DEFINEATELY A DVD CONTAINING APPEARANCES ON TOP OF THE POPS, AMERICAN BANDSTAND, SOLID GOLD, or any other interviews from the early 80s!
Listmania!
