Priceless Souvenir,
By
This review is from: The Final Reunion (DVD)
It's easy to forget that Cliff Richard and The Shadows were only together for ten years, 1958-1968 or perhaps more accurately 1959 -1968. They were the soundtrack of my life through those teenage years of mine. This DVD and concert represent that period in their history. Anyone looking for Cliff songs after that period (Devil Woman, Miss You Nights, We Don't Talk Anymore, From a Distance and so on) will not find them here.The quality of this DVD is outstanding. It is so well filmed that you only rarely see a camera, the sound is crisp and, as mentioned in other reviews, not a lip-syncher in sight. We were fortunate to be at the Sheffield concert on Cliff's 69th birthday and can vouch that this DVD is the complete concert. Even the beginning pictures of microphones and guitars are exactly what are seen in the arena. It is just like being at the concert. The Shadows were in fine form for their set. I personally would have loved it had they played `Flingel Bunt' but it was not to be. And does anybody look like they are having a better time than Hank Marvin? The sounds that he gets out of a guitar are extraordinary. All 42 songs are great. My only disappointment is with `Willie and the Hand Jive'. I wish they had performed the original Hank solo at the beginning instead of a newer arrangement. But I nitpick. For the traditionalist, it was interesting to see that the version of `Move It' they performed only includes the original 1958 words; it does not include the additional verse written I think some 20 years later. I recommend this DVD to anyone who was there on this tour. It is a priceless souvenir. I also recommend it to anyone who couldn't go. Once you view this DVD, you'll think you were there. By the way, the synopsis for this DVD is incorrect. It was not recorded in London in 2002. It was recorded at the O2 Arena in London in September, 2009.

This review is from: The Final Reunion (DVD)
This concert is everything it should be: Cliff & the boys are in such amazing shape, it's hard to believe they're all Old Age Pensioners! They're on top form, and the O2 Arena is packed. I must admit I prefer Cliff's rockers to the ballads, but he's a complete professional whatever he does.The picture and the editing are both excellent -- as is the sound. But not only does Amazon not provide a set list -- there isn't even one on or in the DVD case! So I give it below: 01) Reunion 2009 (Introduction) 02) We Say Yeah 03) In the Country 04) Gee Whizz It's You 05) A Voice in the Wilderness 06) Living Doll 07) Dancing Shoes 08) I'm the Lonely One 09) A Girl Like You 10) Do You Wanna Dance 11) Shadoogie 12) Dance On 13) Wonderful Land 14) The Savage 15) Sleepwalk 16) High Class Baby 17) I Could Easily Fall (in Love With You) 18) Willie and the Hand Jive 19) Sea Cruise 20) C'Mon Everybody 21) Dynamite 22) Lucky Lips 23) Travellin' Light 24) Time Drags By 25) All Shook Up 26) Please Don't Tease 27) Apache 28) Foot-Tapper 29) Atlantis 30) F.B.I. 31) I Love You 32) The Next Time 33) Don't Talk to Him 34) On the Beach 35) Summer Holiday 36) Bachelor Boy 37) Nine times out of Ten 38) It'll Be Me 39) Visions 40) Move It 41) Singing the Blues 42) The Young Ones For those who want more Shadows, there is of course their wonderful Final Tour DVD as well. My only regret is the absence of Jet Harris. Can there still be bitterness even after fifty years? Oh well.
