WKRP in Cincinnati - The Complete First Season

Amazon.com

One of DVD's most requested titles, WKRP in Cincinnati is a blast from the past and an absolutely golden oldie. But this first-season set is bound to cause static with fans who have eagerly anticipated its release. Because of pesky music rights, the songs don't remain the same. "Hot Blooded" is not playing when mild-mannered newsman Les Nessman (Richard Sanders) puts on a toupee in anticipation of an awards-dinner date with bombshell station receptionist Jennifer (Loni Anderson). It's "Beautiful Dreamer" and not "Fly Me to the Moon" that chimes when Jennifer's doorbell is sounded. Any number of generic songs have replaced the contemporary and classic rock so vital to WKRP, which is, after all, set at a radio station, albeit one that is best known for its farm reports. Enter Andy Travis (Gary Sandy), the new program director charged with turning the station around, beginning with changing the format to rock & roll. Andy, the series anchor, is something of the head guard at a nut farm. In seasons to come, he will wonder if he is one of the nuts, which include: "Big Man," Mr. Carlson (Gordon Jump), who is easily flustered, especially by his formidable mother, the station owner; polyester-clad sales director, Herb Tarleck (Frank Bonner), hopelessly old school and on the make for "Jenni-poo"; and morning DJ, Johnny Caravella (Howard Hesseman), a former "boss jock" now reduced to playing "You're Having My Baby" by the Hallelujah Tabernacle Choir. Also on staff is Bailey (Jan Smithers), Mary-Ann to Jennifer's Ginger, and who lacks the confidence to assert herself at the station; and Venus Flytrap (Tim Reid), whom Andy hires to be the nighttime DJ. It's a seamless ensemble of likable characters on par with The Mary Tyler Moore Show's WJM news team. WKRP is one of those rare series that hit its irresistible groove from the get-go. Hesseman sounds all the right notes as Johnny, reborn as Dr. Johnny Fever (ranked no. 73 on the Bravo "100 Greatest TV Characters" chart).

As the season unfolds, the hits just keep on comin', including the classic "Turkeys Away," about a Thanksgiving stunt that goes hilariously awry ("As God is my witness," Mr. Carlson insists, "I thought turkeys could fly"), the "Goodbye Johnny" two-parter in which the (briefly) departed Johnny's replacement is involved in payola (resulting in Mr. Carlson mistaking cocaine for foot powder), and "Never Leave Me, Lucille," in which Jennifer desperately tries to reunite Herb with his wife. Purists may balk at the replaced songs, but the sharp writing and performances provide WKRP's real music. --Donald Liebenson

The commentary? Oh please.......2007-09-15

In the middle of Les Nessman's classic turkey day reporting from the Pinewood Shopping Center, I decided to turn on the audio commentary. I was treated to Hugh Wilson and Loni Anderson. Personally I think Hugh Wilson was drunk. He told a long boring and completely incomprehensible story having nothing to do with what was one of the great episodes in sitcom history.

And where was the editing? Apparently all the editors were brain dead from inserting Muzak onto the station turntables so I guess they missed what was going out over the secondary audio.

Fox Corporate marketing ruins an experience.......2007-09-14

Thanks for NOTHING FOX! Years I've waited for the chance to see the WKRP show again, and what happens - Fox decides we gotta sell it for $ 19.95 cause, well, gee, that's a magic number isn't it? And so to ensure to sticker price meets some marketing guru's vision, they make a DVD with elevator music and cut out not only the original songs, but too much of the dialog and scenes that occurred during the songs. The voice overs to try and salvage some of the script - boo!
You know, I'm not rich, but I'd pay a buck or two more to get the original songs/dialog/scenes, which ought to cover the cost of licencing most of the key songs and salvaging the continuity of the show.
Just one more ripoff cause someone at Fox can't be bothered to do the grunt work of getting the rights to the songs.

So good to see our friends again.......2007-09-13

One of the best television shows ever is still enjoyable 25 years after its original airing. The characters are outstanding and grow on you. The classic "turkeys away," the contest no one could win and Les's date with Jennifer are all here. I've been sharing it with my kids and they have been enjoying it, too.

Music Replacements Make Better Sense.......2007-09-09

First of all, contrary to original reports these are NOT double sided disc.
Secondly I think the music replacements make better sense for WKRP than the original rock music. Think about it. Would a station with the futile staff of WKRP play actual top 40 rock music or cheesy generic rock? This would also help explain the terrible ratings. Also we do get the Red Wiggler, Ferryman Funeral Home jingles, Scum of the Earth and Hoyt Axton songs.
Also contrary to popular belief Jennifer's doorbell scene has not been cut, however, Fly Me to the Moon has been replaced with Blue Danube.

I hope they release the other three seasons rather quickly

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.......2007-09-07

DO NOT BUY THIS ABORTION! This is an abomination, a show about a RADIO station where the MUSIC has been RUINED! It's like the Mona Lisa with no SMILE! Like Gone With The Wind without TARA! BOYCOTT ALL FOX DVDS UNTIL THEY FIX THIS!

Jump roping that's worlds away from anything seen on the local playground bursts from the screen in this Disney Original Movie about the clash between two athletes and their respective sports. Boxer Izzy Daniels (Corbin Bleu) has a hard time taking neighbor Mary's (Keke Palmer) devotion to jump roping seriously, but as Izzy trains relentlessly to maintain his undefeated status and win the Golden Glove, Mary's team practices just as intensely for the city Double Dutch finals. Izzy gains a reluctant respect for Mary's sport when he accompanies his sister Karin (Kylee Russell) to a competition, but it takes some serious convincing to persuade him to fill in for a teammate who's abandon the team on the cusp of city finals. Izzy quickly discovers that Double Dutch is more demanding and rewarding than he'd ever imagined, but when the entire school finds out about his newest sporting exploit, he's taunted into quitting. As Izzy tries to regain his boxing focus, he suddenly realizes that winning the Golden Glove is more his father's (David Reivers) dream than his own. After some serious soul-searching, Izzy decides that he can't let what others think keep him from doing what makes him happy. This action-packed Disney Channel Original Movie takes a unique look at the varied world of sports and features some great catchy new music from Corbin Bleu and Jordan Pruitt, but the game-winner is its focus on the importance of following one's heart. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Fast Food for the Soul.......2007-06-01

This DVD was a gift for my wife, who is one of the "Jump In" fans in this house. I don't have quite the enthusiasm for this movie that they do, which leads me to believe that it is something of a "chick flick."

A tight plot, engaging characters, and quick pace put this show several notches above "viewable."

I enjoyed the story of a boy learning how to deal with conflicting demands and responsibilities.

The jump-rope contest choreography is impressive, and helps make this DVD a good buy, although sports purists might question the fusion of jump-rope tricks and boxing in another scene.

Disney Studios seems to be re-discovering the bourgeois inhibitions that made it a global success, so those who require relevance, naughty words, and people with the self-control of an ADHD tomcat in their entertainment will be sorely disappointed in "Jump In." Aside from these deficiencies, this is a highly entertaining musical.

I love this dvd .......2007-05-19

This dvd is awesome and the bonus stuff is just great .

Another great family film starring Keke Palmer.......2007-05-17

I bought this because of child actor Keke Palmer appears in it and I was not disappointed. It's such a fun film with cute actors, lots of incredible double dutch scenes and a great tutorial offered in the special effects section. It's a must have!

OUTSTANDING.......2007-05-15

We are from South Africa, and the movie only came on our disney channel after we got the DVD, so my kids were pretty happ with themselves. It was a really nice movie, it was heartwarming, and i found it very touching. We even shed a few tears!!!My kids now want to do Double Dutch!!!

fun family movie.......2007-05-12

This movie won't win any oscars, but it's great for what it is, a great family film. It's so hard to find movies that all of my children (ages 2-10) will sit down and watch and that WE feel good about them watching. This is one of those movies. Made in the same mold as High School Musical, I hope Disney continues to pump out these type of movies. They're slightly cheesy, but a refreshing change from many movies marketed today for kids.

Customer Reviews:

MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY CARTOON VIDEO !!.......2007-09-03

This is one of the coolest holiday collections in Disney history. Three stories are included on this dvd.

The first one, I hate so i don't remember the title. But it's a very depressing story about a boy and his donkey.

The second one is a Chip N' Dale CLASSIC that features, Mickey & Pluto. (Pluto's Christmas Tree) I personally am a HUGE fan of the Chip N' Dale cartoons, simply because they are silly without losing their comedic value. I laugh THINKING about it.

The last one is truly the best: Mickey's Christmas Carol. I bought two copies of this movie and sent one to my friend's little boy because I loved it so much.

It's based on the Charles Dickens classic: A Christmas Carol and sticks to the script the whole way through. The cast of characters do an excellent job portraying all the original characters in the book! Mickey as Bob Cratchett, Scrooge McDuck as Ebenezer Scrooge of course, Goofy as the ghost of Jacob Marley, and even Donald Duck shows an excellent performance in the ALMOST miscast role of Scrooge's light-hearted, warm loving NEPHEW! LOL

The ONLY reason I didn't give this movie 5 stars is because of the depressing "donkey cartoon" in the beginning. I promise you it will be a joy for your family for years to come!

*PLEASE EXCUSE ALL SPELLING ERRORS!!*

"A DVD to Remember".......2007-06-18

This DVD has Pluto's Christmas Tree with those lovable chipmunks, Chip 'n' Dale. It also has Mickey's Christmas Carol which I remember watching every year on television growing up in the eighties. This DVD is worth it for those two alone. I have not seen The Small One. What would have made this perfect is if they would have also included the short where Donald is aggravated by his nephews and so a snow fight ensues (forget the actual name of the short). I remember they would air this one on tv as well right before Mickey's Christmas Carol to fill up the entire hour time slot. Still, this release is a must-have for anyone who grew up with these fond memories as a child. Just the music and singing in Mickey's Christmas Carol is enough to warm my heart.

I bought it for ONE reason only.......2007-02-28

I have two favorite Christmas Specials from when I was young - 1) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the animated short, not the Jim Carrey movie) and 2) Mickey's Christmas Carol.

The Grinch is still shown (usually) each year, but it's been a number of years since I'd seen Mickey's Christmas Carol and I had to have it. Yes, it's the same old Dicken's story, but there are some CLASSIC moments (Goofy as Marley saying Scrooge will be visited by 3 ghosts but he's only holding up 2 fingers).

One of my favorite versions of the Dicken's classic.

I JUST LOVE IT.......2007-02-01

I HAD THE VHS VERSION, AND WE WATCH IT EVERY YEAR.
I LIKE THE THREE STORIES, BUT SMALL ONE IS MY FAVORITE

I WONDER WHEN CAN I FIND THIS DVD ON SPANISH.??

THIS DVD IS ALSO IN SPANISH?

Description

Comedy and screen legend Richard Pryor hits the comedy road in Moving, a good-time tale of a flustered suburbanite trying to relocate with his family from New Jersey to Idaho. Dave Thomas, Dana Carvey and Randy Quaid are among the comic ensemble in this movie that packs "a houseful of laughs" (V.A. Musetto, New York Post). Next, Pryor has a driving ambition in Greased Lightning, the decades-spanning true story of Wendell Scott, who cracked the all-white world of stock-car racing, built cars from junkyard parts, endured taunts, overcame setbacks and won NASCAR and Grand National crowns. "There's not a more likable movie currently on view," Time reviewer Richard Schickel wrote about this biopic that marks Pryor's first lead film role.

I have yet to see Greased Lightning, but Moving is Richard Pryor's funniest movie ever. I wanted this movie so bad on DVD I had to buy a bootleged version off Ebay! It's nice to see that you can finally purchase it legit. A must have for any comedy collection.

Richard Pryor's best comedy ever.......2007-01-20

I have been waiting for 'Moving' to come out on DVD for a long time. It is by far, one of the funniest comedies ever made. With Pryor, Dana Carvey and Randy Quaid you can't go wrong. Plus, you get a bonus movie of 'Greased Lighting.' What more could you asked for.

Classic movies.......2007-01-12

I purchased this movie just for "Greased Lightning". It is about the first man of color to race in Nascar. It was worth the price by itself and "Moving" was also a good movie but not as good as "Busting Loose" or some of his earlier films.

Description

Johnny Depp became an instant heartthrob and certified star in this second season of the Fox-TV sensation co-created by Patrick Hasburgh and Stephen J. Cannell (THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, SILK STALKINGS). Depp stars as Officer Tom Hanson, who along with Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise), Harry Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) and Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete) forms an undercover police unit to infiltrate high school crime. Under the command of Captain Fuller (Steven Williams), these tough but compassionate young cops tackle such explosive issues as steroid abuse, crack addiction, racial violence, teen suicide, AIDS, Ioki's escape from Saigon and much more. 21 JUMP STREET - THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON includes all 22 action-packed episodes from the hit `87/'88 season featuring such guest stars as Christina Applegate, Jason Priestley, Pauly Shore and Brad Pitt in one of his first screen roles.

Different from the original.......2006-12-27

It's great that 21 Jump Street is finally out on DVD, but for some reason, they have changed the episodes. The background songs are different and some of the episodes have stuff cut out of them. I guess I'll just have to keep my copies of the show I taped off the tv when it originally aired.

Thumbs up!.......2006-08-31

Love this show! Too bad not still on the air-the problems this show uncovers are still out there! The actors are great-Johnny Depp is dreamy!

21 Jump Street - Season 2.......2006-02-24

What a hottie! This is where my favourite actor in the world, Johnny Depp, got his major start (aside from Nightmare on Elm Street of course!) and he stars with the great Peter De Louise! Take the time to sit and watch the whole series - it starts off a little slow but gets better!

Music issues aside, this is a good TV show on DVD.......2005-12-22

I bought season 2 soon after season 1. I liked season 2 better. The episodes are more consistant and more refined. It has been so long since I saw these on TV, I have forgotten the original music. The DVD music sucks and is almost the same through all the episodes. Don't but the Jumpstreet DVDs for the music.

If you liked the show when it was on the air, you should enjoy them on DVD. They hold up pretty well. If you want to see them for the first time, keep in mind they used to be better with original music and some episodes are dated.

What I enjoyed most were the memories the show brought back. Cutting my hair like Depp, wearing headbands made from old shirts, flight jackets, and thinking a guy could weigh 120 and still be tough!

Best known today as the series that helped launch Johnny Depp to stardom, Stephen J. Cannell's 21 Jump Street was also one of the first hit programs for the fledgling Fox network, a status that lasted for most of its five-year run (1987-91), thanks to its engaging mix of youth culture and police drama. As outlined in the pilot, Depp's baby-faced Ofc. Tom Hanson is transferred to the special Jump Street division, a unit that utilized young cops to infiltrate juvenile crime. Unlike many of Fox's youth-oriented shows of the period (i.e., Beverly Hills 90210), Jump Street took its stories seriously, and addressed numerous social issues in its episodes; though some of the fashions and slang seem dated, the program remains entertaining decades later. The Jump Street set compiles all 13 episodes of the debut season, including the two-part pilot; the solid extras feature commentary by co-star Peter DeLuise, as well as interviews with fellow Jump Street officers Dustin Nguyen, Holly Robinson Peete, and Steven Williams (whose Captain Fuller replaced Frederic Forrest's Jenko halfway through the first season), as well as the prolific Cannell. --Paul Gaita

Description

It all begins here, as baby-faced rookie Officer Tom Hanson (Johnny Depp) is assigned to an elite squad of young undercover cops - Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete), Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise) and Harry Truman Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) - to infiltrate high schools and fight crime. Frederic Forrest and Steven Williams co-star in this classic first season that also features such guest stars as Jason Priestley, Josh Brolin, David Paymer, Sherilyn Fenn and Blair Underwood in what became Fox's first runaway hit and remains one of the coolest cop shows in TV history! 21 JUMP STREET - SEASON ONE includes all 13 explosive episodes - including the rarely seen two-part premiere - and is now packed with extras that include all-new interviews with stars Holly Robinson Peete, Dustin Nguyen, Steven Williams and series co- creator Stephen J. Cannell and an exclusive audio commentary with star Peter DeLuise.

21 jump street season 1.......2007-07-08

This was purchased as a gift for a friend and I can only report that she likes this old tv series, thus the purchase of all seasons. i have not seen it myself.

Please release ORIGINAL VERSIONS.......2007-07-04

I lOVED this show as a teenager when it was first on. I think I missed this first season with Capt. Jenko - so I was excited to see how it all started. I rented this series to see it and decide whether to buy it.

I'm embarrassed to admit that the show did have an effect on me -- we would talk about the show the next morning at school. The show was probably one of the first things I saw countering the general homophobic attitudes of the times.

I'm quite saddened to see that's it been (POORLY) dubbed (mouths moving -different words) - why can't we see the original?
I was thinking of buying the discs after watching them - but not if they're edited!
I wish companies would stop rushing to put out cheap edited copies of shows (see 3rd Rock) thinking we'll buy whatever they put out!

And now in reading the other reviews, if the original music is gone as others have said... I will definitely NOT buy this series - the show was about introducing artists- it's how I found REM and Sonic Youth ... there's one episode I barely remember but I remember the music from it more than anything else. The music often influenced me as much as the topics they covered. It would not be the same show without that.

Great Series!.......2007-03-09

To all the 21 Jumpstreet fans in the world, you got to get these series! I enjoy them so much! I am getting my son on the bandwagon. He was only a baby when this came out in 1987.

I bought this dvd for my daughter who is 14 and in love with the 80's and Johnny Depp! She loves the series and we intend on buying other seasons of this series.

Are there episodes missing?.......2007-07-24

Is it just me or did it seem like a episode or two were missing and or misplaced. because On part 2 of PARTNERS on disk 6 Ioki was shot and damn near in a coma. Yet right after in th next episode "NEXT VICTIM" Ioki was seen chillin in the office at the beginning of the show... that doesn't add up. Then in Season 4 they place him BACK in the hospital...disappointing towards lack of consistency.

Thumbs up!.......2006-08-31

Best season of all! Johnny Depp is dreamy- but also a great actor which comes out in this season. Too bad show is off the air- problems this show deals with are still out there.

Great Show but messed up with episodes' order.......2006-06-29

This is just a great show as the 1st and 2nd season. Maybe it's Johnny Depp best performance in this serie, he looks different but grown up. The story line is grown up too, these cops doesn't go undercover in schools as often as before, but they have to face bigger cases on the streets. You can also live their private lives more than before, and see them in personal situation with family, friends and love. The only disappointing thing is that the episodes'order is inexact, I noticed it in the last dvd: the 2-part-episode "Loc'd out" (wich they renamed on the dvd sleeve as "Partners" and I don't understand why) is supposed to be the last one of the 3rd season; but after that, you can see another episode, "Next Victim", put on the dvd as the last one. This is a fault, as I can clearly remember that this season ends up with Hanson in jail and Ioki in Hospital, but you can see everything going on as usual and Ioki working without problems. People who can't remember the exact order of the story could be confused by this. Anyway, you should have it!

This is my favorite Johnny Depp role. I dunno why but ... he's really good in this show. And the other actors are great too. Great plots. I love it. I still watch it faithfully.

Roger Ebert once commented that Michael Caine never gives a bad performance. Neither does Gene Hackman and neither does Walter Matthau. This is one of his best. Medical humor always seems to work. Here it soars, with the help of Glenda Jackson, Richard Benjamin, and--in one of his most hilarious roles--Art Carney. The subplots are also well done. There's even a brief appearance by Matthau's real-life son.

This is the sort of movie you can watch again and again and the underlying story is sweet and loving, not cruel like The Odd Couple or long in the tooth like Grumpy Old Men. This is Matthau at the top of his rumpled powers, playing a skilled surgeon with notable human failings ripe for redemption.

I remember seeing this 1978 comedy at one of the bargain matinees I took in when I was looking for a study break from my college courses. Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson do some effective Tracy-Hepburn-style thrusting-and-parrying in this featherweight romp directed by the reliable Howard Zieff (he did "Private Benjamin") about a newly widowed doctor's aggressive re-entry into the dating game. It all breezes by quickly primarily thanks to the clever script by veteran screenwriter Julius J. Epstein ("Casablanca") along with Alan Mandel, Max Shulman and future director Charles Shyer.

Dr. Charley Nichols has just come back from Hawaii after his wife's death. Upon his return, he becomes aware that he is instant catnip to any and all the single women in LA. He works in a hospital run by an increasingly senile chief-of-staff, Amos Willoughby, whom Charley has to pacify to keep his residency. Enter Ann Atkinson, a transplanted Englishwoman who bakes cheesecakes for a living and has certain concrete opinions about the medical profession, which she expresses freely on a PBS talk show. Of course, Charley is on the show's discussion panel, and sparks, as they say, fly. This leads to the standard complications about how serious Charley is willing to become about Ann. At the same time, the hospital has to deal with a potential wrongful death lawsuit from the widow of a rich baseball team owner who died at the hospital under Willoughby's careless supervision.

It's just refreshing to see such a mature yet bracing love story between two characters inhabited by actors who deliver lines with the scalpel-wielding skill of surgeons. Matthau is his usual 1970's curmudgeonly swinger and quite a sight waddling with his gangly arms held akimbo in his power walk. Away from her heavy, award-winning Elizabethan roles, Jackson is crisply sardonic and charmingly vulnerable as the feisty Ann, who thinks all doctors should aspire to be Albert Schweitzer. Art Carney plays Willoughby with predictable bluster, while Richard Benjamin provides amiable support as Charley's colleague, Dr. Solomon. It's all very compact with a few nice jabs at the greed within the medical profession. There are no extras on the 2005 DVD.

Lighter Than Air, and What's Wrong With That?.......2005-12-20

In a career that featured a wealth of great comic performances, Walter Matthau gave few that were more delightful and relaxed than this one. In contrast to the wonderfully over-the-top style he displayed while winning an Oscar for "The Fortune Cookie" and being nominated for another in "The Sunshine Boys," Matthau employed a lighter but equally effective comic touch for this 1978 romantic comedy. He plays a widowed doctor who is over his grief and ready to sow some wild oats, only to find that he's fallen for a woman who wants nothing to do with his playboy ways. Glenda Jackson, who later left acting to join the British parliament, is a perfect match for Matthau's game, and the two trade barbs beautifully in a film that plays so leisurely that it's over before you know it. Look for superb supporting performances from Richard Benjamin as well as Art Carney as the dottering and caustic hospital administrator. He hams it up wonderfully in a part far removed from the nice guy he played in "The Honeymooners." This is one of those movies that looks like it was fun to make. It's definitely fun to watch.

House Calls.......2005-09-07

Delightful romantic comedy benefits from a top-notch script (by Max Shulman and Julius Epstein-co-writer of "Casablanca"!), and the unexpected chemistry between lovable schlump Matthau and starchy Jackson, who are both fabulous. Affirming once again that true love will triumph over casual sex, "Calls" is a charming, clever romance, with plenty of laughs and heart. Matthau fans should flock to this.

It's billed as "a celebration of the artists, writers, and producers who have made New Orleans music so recognizable and influential," and this hour-long concert, recorded in '02 in the Crescent City itself, is exactly that. Frontman "Deacon" John Moore (who played guitar on classics like Lee Dorsey's "Workin' in a Coalmine") is a good if not exceptional singer, but there are a host of great musicians on hand here to help him out, including producer-writer Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, vocal group the Zion Hamonizers, and others. Their "jump blues" (a cross between big band jazz, R&B, and rock & roll) brings to mind immortals like Count Basie, Louis Jordan, and Louis Prima, but this is New Orleans music all the way (the Fats Domino influence is also unmistakable), and the tuxedoes and somewhat formal concert hall setting do nothing to diminish the joyous, swinging vibe. Great stuff. --Sam Graham

Deacon John Moore - Jump Blues.......2007-02-20

This DVD is above and beyond 5 stars, I would say no less than 10 stars. There's also a very good reason why I bought two instead of one...

Joyful and Masterful.......2005-09-13

The music is fantastic, the perfomers are first rate and the technical aspects of the video production are excellent. Buy this DVD, pop it into a large screen TV hooked up to a big sound system and crank it up.
Henry Butler on the piano makes magic. Amadee Castanell on sax is a virtuoso. Deacon is a charismatic performer who makes you smile while you soak up the music. Mac is great and Wardell's charts and conducting is tight and rockin'.
You will love this DVD. I promise.

I'd pass on this one........2005-09-08

Deacon John is a marginally gifted session guitar player, but is way out of his league as a leader/vocalist in the context of this concert. He apes for the camera and comes across extremely insincere and disingenuous in the worst way. Don't buy into this crap - not when there is real New Orleans music that needs to be heard. One star! Not for Moore, but for the stellar accompaniment. Maybe they can figure out a way to bluescreen him out. Here's a guy (Moore) who used to play Hendrix-like (except that he never really learned to tune a guitar), and he's skippin across the stage with an umbrella. Only thing he forgot was the blackface. He's much less talented than his brother Charles, who plays in the band.

Deacon John's Jump Blues blew me away!.......2005-02-27

I've always been a big fan of fifties swing era and big band jazz, but didn't really know much about the New Orleans scene of that day. I'd also never heard of Deacon John Moore until I turned on the television late one evening and was mesmerized by this powerful music.

I immediately wrote down the name of this wonderful performer and the title of his concert film (Deacon John's Jump Blues) so I could research him on the web the very next morning. When I discoverd that I could get this concert on DVD I was thrilled.

Deacon's voice is hauntingly strong and he hit notes that sent chills down my spine. The music is truly infectious and will make you want to jump up and shake a leg. All the musicians involved, young and old alike had such a great time, it's hard not to feel the joy for your very own.
The high calibre musicianship and massively entertaining stage show were more than I could fathom. I felt like somebody had thrown me into Mr. Peabody's time machine and I wished I could stay and bask in this era forever.

If you are tired of the soulless trite music that today's corporations cram into your ears, consider re-visiting the music that was there when blues was king and rock and roll was just learning to walk. Deacon John Moore is truly a magical entertainer, you will not be dissapointed.

Deacon John is Outstanding!.......2003-06-30

This was a tremendous CD marking the debut of a New Orleans legend, Deacon John. I love all the songs and the film gave a tremendous view of all the fun that took place that night on and off stage. Great job...I thoroughly enjoyed it. You Go Deacon!!! It's about time someone showcased your talent.. you deserved it.
