Title: A nice, if imperfect, look back
Review: 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.
Is the review positive or negative?
