4.0 out of 5 stars Swiss Stroll 10 Jan 2010
By Mulwharchar TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
The Mink DeVille which appeared at Montreux in 1982 was a Willy DeVille solo vehicle in all but name, but fresh from making their fourth LP 'Coup de Grace', they still played a great show. Willy was hardly a walking advert for the health benefits of heroin addiction and his vocals are weak at times, but the band are never less than tight and when it all comes together, as on 'Spanish Stroll' or the blinding encore 'Stand By Me', it's magical. The full 16 song set is in pin sharp sound and crystal clear (remarkable for 27 year old video), so this DVD is a must for fans of the New Wave's most underrated talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT'S ABOUT TIME 26 Oct 2008
By Joe the Priest - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
THE FIRST TIME I SAW WILLY WAS BACK IN 1977 IN A SMALL CLUB IN NYC. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HIM EVER SINCE. THIS LIVE DVD DOES HIM JUSTICE. THIS IS HOW IT WAS, BUT EVEN BETTER EARLIER IN HIS CAREER. I ACTUALLY SAW HIM A FEW MONTHS LATER IN 77 AT A "BEEFSTEAK CHARLIE'S" IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY. THERE WAS ABOUT 50 PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE AND IT WAS PROBABLY THE GREATEST SHOW I EVER SAW. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER HIS BACKUP VOCAL BAND? THEY WERE CALLED THE IMMORTALS. THEY FIT HIS MUSIC STYLE TO A TEE. THEY ARE MISSING FROM THIS DVD. IT'S TOO BAD, WHEN THEY ENCORED BACK IN 77, STAND BY ME WAS ALSO THE ENCORE, BUT WITH A LITTLE TOUCH OF THE TEMPTATIONS "MY GIRL" IN THE MIDDLE. FASCINATING STUFF. IF YOU LOVE WILLY. YOU WILL LOVE THIS DVD. HE COULD HAVE BEEN DION DIMUCCI IN THE 50'S AND BEN E KING OR ANY OF THE GREAT SOUL SINGERS OF THE 60'S. JUST A REMARKABLE DVD FROM A FLAYBOYANT SINGER. SONGWRITER. AS A 56 YR OLD, I APPRECIATE SOUL MUSIC WITH A BLAND OF ROCK. THE SAX MAKES THE BAND, BUT THE SINGER HAS TO PRODUCE. WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET A DVD FROM THE EASLIEST OF YEARS, ENJOY THIS ONE, IT HAS IT ALL.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good show; picture quality acceptable 10 Nov 2008
By T. Scarillo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
SInce there doesn't seem to be much out there on DVD of Mink Deville, i was pretty excited to finally get to see something by them, given that they were a bit before my time. This show is from 1982, and while i don't think it has the original lineup, this incarnation is very good and plays tight. Willy is in fine form vocally, sounding like a more soulful Dylan, including the terrific cover of "Stand By Me". My main (really, only) complaints with the DVD are that i wish it were longer (it clocks in a bit over an hour) and the picture quality is sometimes a bit flat and/or not totally sharp, but i chalk that up to technical limitations of the source tape, owing to technology available at the time. No big deal - the sound is very good on this, and there is a generous set list.

4.0 out of 5 stars NICE EARLY SHOW.... 3 May 2008
By K. knight - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I'VE BEEN A FAN OF MINK DEVILLE AND LATER WILLY DEVILLE FOR A LONG TIME AND WAS EXCITED WHEN I HEARD OF THIS DVD. OVERALL, THIS IS A VERY GOOD EARLY SHOW OF TH BAND. I FIRST SAW THIS BAND IN 1984 AND WAS BLOWN AWAY. EVEN THIS DVD DOESN'T FULLY SHOW ALL THE BANDS TALENT.BUT FOR NOW ALL WE HAVE IS THIS SET OF THE EARLY STUFF.
