Live and Kickin - it kicks, it rocks, it's a winner

I love this DVD! Rick Springfield's singing is terrific, his face is handsome and he is so very energetic. It's fun to watch, not merely listen - over and over and over. Even my little niece loved it!

The only thing disappointing about this is the audience soundtrack - it is not from the original - it is as if it was added later. I have the original on vhs from when it aired on Showtime in the 80s. I miss that part -but the color quality and Rick's sound is wonderful. I have bought this as a gift for non-fans and they loved it too. Great for the holidays!

Rick Springfield - Live and Kickin'

I really enjoyed this show. it was like being there.Lots of excitement.great music and one of the best artist of his time.I do not see what the big deal is about the words not being in time with the music as in this other review.it seems to be in pretty good time to me.hardly noticeable or it would not be enjoyable.This is one of the most energetic shows you will see from an 80's artist.the sound quality is excellent and picture is great out of 10 I give it an 8.To bad its already out of print thoe get it now before its to late.

DON'T GET TOO EXCITED

I, like many other R.S. fans, remember when this concert originally aired on Showtime, way back in 1982. The thought of being able to watch it again on DVD, remastered in 5.1 surround sound, had me dancing in my living room. I should have reserved my excitement until I actually saw the DVD. While the picture quality is comparable to VHS, disappointly, the sound was even worse!

Much like the DVD release of "Beat of the Live Drum", "Live and Kickin'" had the same problem of the words/music not matching up with the video...you'll see Rick singing a song, but you'll hear the words about 1/2 second before he opens his mouth, not a long amount of time, but more than enough to ruin this DVD concert.

I suppose it's good to have a durable DVD copy of this, but I'll stick to the VHS copy I made over 20 years ago. Perhaps the company that released this DVD didn't take the time to make sure the video and audio were in sync.

Also, the "bonus features" should have been called "Bogus features"! They include the backstage footage that was seen in the original broadcast of the concert and the pre-show footage, again, already seen on tv. A very disappointing DVD overall. We will have to wait until Rick actually releases the upcoming concert DVD, to be recorded live in Rockford. Il next month.

Until then, try and find a decent VHS copy of "Live and Kickin'".

I can'r believe it.......I am soooo happy about this DVD!!

I remember seeing this concert on Showtime every chance I got!! We didn't have a VCR then so I had to put it on an audio tape!! And I still have it!! Although personally I had a crush on the Bass player Mike Seifrit. And I was lucky enough to meet him 2 years later when rick played at "Alpine Valley" in East Troy, WI in September 1984, and then I also went to see him in New york at Radio City Music Hall later that month, and he remembered me!! I sure hope this dvd comes out before 2010!!!

For Hardcore Fans Only

As has been stated by another reviewer, the sound quality is lacking on this dvd. Whoever did the mastering made a poor attempt to ensure the sound and video were in-sync. DO NOT attempt to listen/watch this in 5.1 - it's maddening! At first I thought Rick WAS lip-synching! And the lack of audible crowd noise was disturbing. Listening to the stereo version helps with the audio-sync problems, but doesn't cure it completely. Unless you can overlook these serious problems, DON'T buy this, and DON'T pay full price!
