hi all. just got round to watching cliff and the shads. they were brilliant great dvd couldnt fault cliff or the shads. i am not the greatest cliff fan but have to say he sounded great!!!. and the sound that the shadows recreated was brilliant. talk about roll back the years. all of them together looked like they were having a great time really enjoying it. and i really think they were all overwelmed by the reception they all got at the end. wish i`d seen it live now i didnt think it would be as good as it was. they really do make a great team well done to them all and thank you. peter

and the DVD is still selling well (atleast it is over here in Holland)! I was at a store called Media Markt earlier today and it's still listed no.5 in their DVD Top 10.
I am so glad I had the chance to attend this tour and that they even did 2 shows in Rotterdam!

I noticed that on one clip of the DVD BW is playing 'Sunburst Strat' and on the headstock it has Jonson or something similar and not Fender . Can anyone explain?

The Sunburst strat is made by Mick Johnson

I attended the Paris concert on november 7th, and they gave us a great show, of course, they got a huge reception, as they always did in France.
A couple of friends who hardly knew Cliff & the Shads were extremly surprised by the quality of the performance, and immedialtly asked me where to buy the DVD !

I'll be buying another one soon in case I wear out the one I've already bought.
It's wonderful to watch the DVD and relive the concert (in Australia) which rates as one of the best nights of my life. The Shads were truly magnificent and Sir Cliff was fantastic too - super music and so much fun. I'm still talking about it weeks later.
Best wishes to all

Dare I admit to the fact that I just treated myself to the Australian version of the DVD. Exactly the same as the UK version, but a different cover (the same as the original advert). Can't play it on my DVD player, but I can add it to the collection. Sad, I know...

Fantastic DVD, as everyone has said, with some great camera angles and close ups.

Many DVD players can be set to "region free" without any hardware modifications...

Hi all,

I am new here so a big hello from a very "old" Shadows fan.. 50 ++++

Cliff and the Shadows were down here (New Zealand) a few weeks ago, being in the event industry I was lucky enough to grab almost front row centre seats.
They sold out their first concert within hours and had to do another to meet demand.

I have never been a great Cliff fan but I must say he did add some balance to the whole show which went off very well indeed.
You could certainly feel the "electricity" in the air when the Shadows played their first number.

I came away totally elated with the distinct feeling that that I had just watched a group of old friends who were just enjoying themselves without being over the top.

I must also say that the back-line guys, who of course never get star billing, were also great. They had a chap playing various percussion "devices" etc and boy what a talent he has a master of many instruments.
I really hope they can find the energy to get back here one day in the future.

Cheers to all
