THIS DVD WILL REALLY GIVE YOU AN APPRECIATION FOR THE TEMPTATIONS. THE DANCING, HARMONIES AND JUST SEEING MELVIN, PAUL, EDDIE AND DAVID MAKES THIS A DVD THAT YOU WILL PLAY FROM TIME TO TIME. THE ORIGINAL FIVE DID SOME GREAT SINGING IN JUST FOUR YEARS.....DENNIS CAME AND TOOK THEM TO ANOTHER LEVEL. THE VIDEO QUALITY WAS GOOD ON ALL EXCEPT "MY BABY" AND DAVID HAD A BAD HAIR CUT ON THAT ONE AFTER VIEWING THE DVD TWICE - I LIKE DAVID...BUT I THINK DENNIS WAS THE BETTER. THE GROUP EVEN LOOKED BETTER. I HAVE A GREATER APPRECIATION FOR THE TEMPTATION SHOW....IT IS SO MUCH BETTER SEEING THEM SING THAN LISTENING TO IT ON THE LP. YOU CAN TELL EDDIE KENDRICKS WAS A HEAVY SMOKER BECAUSE IT SHOWED THE YELLOW ON HIS TEETH ON SOME OF THE TRACKS.....HIS TEETH LOOKED SO MUCH BETTER ON THE LATER VIDEOS. YOU COULD SEE PAUL GOING DOWN HILL ON "BALL OF CONFUSION" EDDIE WAS JUST FANTASTIC ON THE "JUST MY IMAGINATION" TRACK THE A CAPELLA'S ARE ALL THAT IN RECENT YEARS I'D PLAY A TEMPTATION CD FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT WOULD CATCH A LOT OF DUST....THIS IS ONE THAT I MAY WEAR OUT....I'M CONSIDERING BUYING A BACK-UP FINALLY I WISH WE COULD HEAR ANOTHER VERSION OF THE TEMPTATION FROM SOME OTHER THAN OTIS.....COME ON DENNIS......RICHARD MELVIN AND PAUL WERE THE BEST DANCERS MY GRAND DAUGHTER SAID MELVIN WAS THE CUTEST I AM VERY PLEASED THE DOCTOR TEMPTATION ps....best buy has it for $9.99 just this week and then it goes up to 13.99....if i were you i'd grab it

I have a greater appreciation for their talent after listening to the a'capella version of songs. I have never liked Run Away Child or Get Ready, but I enjoyed the a'capellas. I agree this is a great DVD. It gives you the opportunity to note something unique in each individual member. Each one added something special.

Only one word can describe this dvd.....Outstanding!!! Features.....Audio = you can listen in stereo or 5.1 DTS (IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER) :cheers: The sound on the performances have been remastered and are absolutely superb The thing that jumped out at me was as I watched the performances was the look on the faces of the C5... it was unbridled joy!! They really were enjoying performing and being together, you can see it on their faces. Paul and Melvin were definitely the "showman" as they were the most animated and into the choreography. Also you can see the difference in the group when Dennis joined. All of the videos with him are appearances on television. They are more "polished" (for lack of a better word) as they had reached the peak of their success with the Barrett-Whitfield songs...."Runaway Child Running Wild", "Ball of Confusion", "I can't Get Next To You"...etc. As good as these songs are they just too me not as endearing as the pre-Dennis songs. They have a lot of energy but I prefer to listen to The David era songs, once again this is my opinion. The last performance on the video is a live "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" after Paul and Eddie left the group. You get a chance to hear Richard Street and Damon Harris live!! The acappella songs really give you an appreciation for the vocal prowess of the Tempts. I have to say after listening to them, Eddie just stands out as, IMO, the best falsetto tenor that ever sang a note. His tone and sound were just unbelievable. Also on the earlier songs with Eddie singing lead, I think that David is singing the 1st tenor note. I really don't think that David gets enough credit for his background work. He does some great things singing background. For the Temptation fan this is a must have DVD.....you can't go wrong

Out of the 16 performances i think 15 were new to me!! I was moved at every level and if given the chance, i would show it's grace and beauty to the world. They need to make a part 2!!

I agree. They need to make Part 2, then Part 3, then Part 4 and on ad infinitum. To become a legend one must have longevity, and the long career must be one of excellence throughout the years. To be voted the world's greatest male vocal group ever, one must have longevity, and that long career must be one of excellence throughout. The Temptations have continued the excellence that began with the Classic Five. It doesn't mean that they sound exactly the same way, that they sing exactly the same songs. That is not what constitutes a legendary group. One-hit wonders and wonders of a few years disappear quickly. But those who become legends continue that excellence throughout the long years.

They need to make a part 2!! and 3, 4, 5, 6... Often when I'm watching a video or listening to a CD and pick up on something new to me, I will say "Do they teach school? Is there a class on this?" The whole world should be exposed to such excellence. Anyone trying to be a true performer today should be required to take Temptations Basics 101.
