Rick loves his job!,
By Tanya Crowell (Ottawa Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rick Springfield: The Beat of the Live Drum (DVD)
What a great performance on this dvd!I remember hearing Rick's music when I was 9, that's when 'Jessie's Girl was big, and I have been listening to his music on and off for the last 28 years. I never got to see him in concert, living in Canada I don't even remember if he came here, but watching "The Beat of the Live Drum" is a musical treat. He loved his job then as I'm sure he does now, (despite his inner struggles, *read his book!*) but his energy and enthusiam in this performance clearly showed how much he enjoyed it. While he didn't really talk to the fans aside from introducing his song "My Father's Chair", he did connect with them throughout the show with songs like "Human Touch", "Stand Up" amoung others, which is more than most artists today do. They who don't indulge in the occasional handshake, but prefer to stand back from the audience instead of going to them. Rick does plenty of both here, at one point I thought he was going right in. (I would have taken him home) :) That's connecting with your audience. Also, while Rick would occasionally "prowl" the stage, I would hardly call his actions inappropriate or vulgar........ So, as for the posters on here who thought he was too wild in this show, clearly have not been to concerts today. If they did they would probably passout. I loved it, and hopefully one day I'll get a chance to see this gifted man live. In the meantime, I have this. Rock on Rick! Oh, and the videos for Celebrate Youth, State of the Heart and Dance This World Away are a nice bonus as well!

Class Act All The Way!,
By kevin (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rick Springfield: The Beat of the Live Drum (DVD)
Vonda Mills wrote a review not even worth reading.She evidently doesnt have a clue.This performance is Spectacular and there is nothing pathetic about the 80's.The music scene was so inventive and diverse,a time period which will be truly missed.Rick rips through all his greatest hits with bursting energy and his backing band is top notch.The video effects are cutting edge for the time.Rick was and always will be a pop rock icon.

WHEN GREAT ARTISTS LISTEN TO BAD DIRECTORS...,
By christopher rush (BOSTON,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rick Springfield: The Beat of the Live Drum (DVD)
This is the second of two concerts that Rick taped for cable in the eighties and,unfortunately it is not the better of the two.The earlier "live and kicking" showcased Rick at his best, whereas this performance is marred by a Director's "vision" Shot as a "piece" rather than a concert,it is filled with atmosphere and ambiance--both of which serve only to slow the performance and misrepresent his skills as a live performer! I'm sure that it all looked great on paper in 1985,but after "HARD TO HOLD" Rick needed to exercise a bit more caution in his project selection. Own it if you must,But for a much more accurate representation of Rick at his on stage best get the new "ALIVE" DVD and strap in!
