Customer Reviews of Reflections: The Definitive Performances 1964-1969
Take the Trip...it's worth it! You won't believe the hair dos! These women had it going on....during such a tumultuous rebellious era (the 60's) to come out swinging....got to give em props! No guts, no glory and they did it with style and originality and they didn't have to be high on POT to pull it off. Diana, "puttin the D in Diva", summed it up at the BET awards show...gotta get some CLASS! Take a hint Britney!
Quite interesting
Okay Dreamgirls fans, here is where it all began.
<

<
>Most of the posters have described the content, so I'll just add some observations-
<
>
<
>"Come See About Me" from a 1965 Detriot show called "Teen Town" is quite lively. As was the case when they did this on Ed Sullivan a few months earlier, Diana gets into what she's doing with some bug-eyed clowning (that she called "souling") that the Motown charm school would force her to stop doing a short time later. Plus, I've always loved Mary and Flo" "Hay hey hey heys" in this tune.

<
>The version of "Stop in the Name of Love" is a real period piece, with some kids in a park surrounding our heroines diong the jerk and other popular dances of the day. Quite a howl.
<
>
<
>The promotional "Love is Here and Now You're Gone" is one of the most interesting tracks here. Here, the gleesome threesome play table tennis as the song plays in the background, which soon degenerates into the tuneful trio making wild faces and doing some farfetched foolishness for the camera involving bubble gum and faux fisticuffs. A seldom-seen side of these sepia sirens (okay, I'm enjoying this a little too much).
<
>
<
>Then there's the Ed Sullivan "Love Child" segment. This must have been jarring to audiences of the time as our heroines (temporarily) replaced their glamour-girl look for ghetto rags for the song's subject matter, and Diana has a hard time trying not to smile to match the theme of the tune. (Dreamgirl fans take note-this clip inspired the "I'm Somebody" segement in the movie).

<
>With that said, enjoy it.

Supremes Get A (Mostly Well-Presented) Deserved Nod :-)
This was a pretty good buy. It's a great collection addition for fans of The Supremes and Ross. Some observations, though:
<
>
<
>*I realize the lip-synching clips really were first presented that way, and that the DVD says that they went to the vault masters to enhance those performances in these clips; but I think that when the lip-synch performances first actually occurred, the performances sounded properly "echoed" through the TV studios being performed in front of the attending audiences, in typical '60s variety show style...here, there's a sterile sound where you hear just the records and no studio program "atmosphere."
<
>
<
>*It's a pain to transition between clips, the way you first have to go through the opening credits and hear a loudly annoying "Stop!" interlude inbetween each cut.
<
>
<
>*It was great to see more Supremes cuts than just those other well-known ones from "Sullivan" that haven't been widely commercially circulated to date. I do like the "You Can't Hurry Love" clip from Ed's show, which is always fun. And the live Sweden show performances. It'd be nice to see more of that show, and more Supremes or Ross clips from a lot of those other great shows like Tennessee Ernie Ford's, in hopeful future such DVDs.
<
>
<
>*The DVD booklet claims that this is the first such package entirely devoted to The Supremes. Actually, no, because even here on Amazon there has been available for a long while the DVD of their live, televised Holland show from the same tour that included the Sweden performances on this DVD.
<
>
<
>*The commentary and trivia were very well-done, paced and presented!
<

<
>Great product. Would love to see their "TCB" and "GIT" NBC specials, with The Temptations from 1968 and '69, respectively, come out on DVD possibly in my lifetime, or at least within the next 60-odd years! ;)
