They say, "all good things come to those who wait". Well, Motown fans must be amongst the most patient in the world!
Finally, a Marvin Gaye package to satisfy the hardcore fans (and there are millions around the planet), put together with the sort of care and attention that you'd expect from a company who loves the music, just as much as it's customers.
Across a mouth-watering selection of TV appearances, and Motown promo clips, all interspersed with beautifully chosen interview soundbites, this DVD will make any Marvin fan (or for that matter, any MUSIC fan) deliriously happy.
The inclusion of an additional unseen live concert on the DVD, and then an unheard live concert on a separate CD, only goes to add the icing to the cake. However, the extra feature which got my goosebumps going, are several classic Marvin tracks, which are available to be heard either as a-ccapella versions (every breath and nuance laid bare). Then, at the flick of a switch on your remote, you can instantly flip, mid-song, into the complete track (with full instrumentation) - and back again, to your heart's content. Stunning!
This is my "jewel in the crown" in my DVD collection. Until that is, the company responsible, Reelin' In The Years, put out a Temptations, Jackson 5, or Stevie Wonder equivalent!
Don't delay - buy this TODAY!!!

I think that some serious love went into producing this DVD. Marvin was a genius, and the archive material here shows more than a few moments of it. There's a ten minute segment from a 1972 concert that's just astounding.
The diamond in this set though is the acappella vocal tracks from a handfull of his best known songs. If you're a fan of Marvin, they're an amazing thing to hear - it's as though he's singing to you out of the darkness.
Genuinely priceless.

Why aren't more Motown fans raving about this DVD? It's absolutely brilliant from every angle. I'm so thrilled to be able to see this genius perform after all these years. This is a gobsmacking package with loads of great bonus features as well. The studio tracks of Marvin solo'd are mindblowers. Hearing the soul and the passion in that man's voice, without the musical background is a life-changing experience. Let's see more vintage Motown releases like this. PLEASE!!!

Marvin Gaye
Some excellent footage, lacks overview perhaps, but above all there are some precious minutes of James Jamerson.
The audio only CD is fun for any budding karaoke fans!

Essential viewing for any fan
What a fabulous idea to add the a-cappella versions... As another reviewer said, this release is clearly a labour of love.

Excellent!!
What caught my eye first was the packaging! Pictures of various promotional posters and such line the inner cover and the liner booklet is most informative and extensive! Read more

A must have for Marvin Gaye fans!!!
This is one of the best music DVDs I've ever bought. Gaye's performance of "Grapevine" is worth the price of the DVD alone. Read more
