 Great DVD for Fans of Lionel Richie's Solo Career June 13, 2008
Great to see him do the 'old' and the 'new' stuff and there's a mix of a couple of songs that really took some thought to come up with.
Kudos, Lionel... come out with more soon!!
 i hope Amazon is listening April 22, 2008
I really enjoy listening to Lionel Richie and was looking forward to purchasing this DVD. That is until I read the reviews here on Amazon. After doing some checking online I've come to the conclusion that almost everyone who has purchased this has ended up with a defective copy and the producers ignore the fans who contact them. So sadly this is one fine concert that I won't be adding to my collection. My advice is you want to find out for yourself put away your wallet and get it from the library if you still want to hear it.
 Audio Missing Left Channel April 19, 2008
Beware the dvd has almost all of the audio missing from the left front and left rear channels on the concert footage. The videos have the audio intact. This is very disappointing and is almost not worth watching. We did not watch the disc until it was too late to return it so it will become an expensive coaster.
Lionel Richie should be pissed off and demand that all of those listed here get a new release of the disc with corrected audio. What do you say Lionel??
 AUDIO DEFECT March 17, 2008
I thought my system (left speaker was not working). I check my audio set-up, only to find that it was the DVD that was recorded faulty. However, nice show, video was good. With today advance tech. this should should have been a top rated production.
 A dynamic concert from a legendary master of pop and R&B February 8, 2008
Although he hasn't had a major hit single in almost two decades, this dynamic 2007 concert from Paris finds the great Lionel Richie looking and sounding as good as he did 20 years ago. Lionel has lost none of the talent that made him an R&B/pop superstar in the 1970's and 80's, and his stage presence and enthusiasm for live performance is vividly displayed in this entertaining show. He is a true entertainer who knows how to deliver a vibrant and high-energy show, and his piano playing is also very solid.
Backed by a strong group of musicians, Richie is clearly enjoying himself as much as the audience as he gives them a nice selection of his solo hits and his classics with the Commodores. What sets Richie apart from many R&B stars is his ability to appeal to both black and white audiences by crafting excellent songs with great melodies that blurred the lines between pop and R&B. Lionel is probably the only R&B performer besides Ray Charles to recieve airplay on country music stations as well with great songs like "Stuck on you" and "Deep River Woman". The latter song featured country superstars Alabama on backing vocals. Lionel's great love ballad "Lady" was a number one country hit for Kenny Rogers as well. It would've been nice to hear him perform that song in this concert since Lionel could surely sing it as well or better than Kenny.
Other reviewers here have complained about the sound quality on this DVD, but haven't noticed any problems with the sound on my disc. Despite the fact that a talent like this is no longer allowed on today's top 40 stations, there are enough people out there who still recognize a good thing when they hear it. Richie's latest album just recently earned a gold record and was nominated for a grammy last year. If you are looking for quality pop music by a man who knows how to write it and perform it better than anyone on the charts in 2008, this is the DVD for you.
