Addictions: The DVD

Robert Palmer, Addictions, DVD

Would have given the Robert Palmer, Addictions, DVD a higher rating - but - it would not play in my DVD player! Took it to Best Buy and Circuit City and it would not play on any of their machines as well. It is marked as a (all regions) DVD. Reading the Amazon information it says that the DVD can not be returned after opening, so it looks like I'm stuck with a DVD that won't play... July 24, 2008

Robert Palmer

I bought this video for one cut. The Addicted to Love song. Gotta love those French models in the background. July 5, 2008

The Music is Great, But The DVD Features are Few

I owned this video on VHS, and replaced it with this DVD version, since VHS player technology is nearly gone. If you like Robert Palmer, the music is a good selection of his hits. Palmer himself gives a fairly lukewarm introduction to the videos. The DVD navigation features are nil. There are no chapter headings, so one needs to fast-forward through the DVD as if it were a VHS tape. The video quality is pretty rough, taken from a variety of sources, with a variety of quality from "not so good" to "acceptable." Nevertheless, it's great to see Robert Palmer, and to hear his music.

DVD Review

Not sure what benefit my review will have, since Amazon has removed the title from the catalog. At least the title doesn't show up when a search on Robert Palmer is done in the DVD category. Some complained that Palmer's commentary was over the beginning of some clips. This wasn't too annoying. February 28, 2008

PAL all regions DVD

Very good collection of Palmer's videos, enjoyed the commentary. Surprised it was not listed as PAL. My Panasonic wouldn't but my Philips would play it.
Before things got so PC the use of the palmer girls was a reflection of the age. The Power Station videos and audio are exceptional as are "Addicted To Love" and "Simply Irresistible". I discovered his vocal power in Dada and Vinegar Joe. His love affair with Jamaica and reggae seems quaint compared to the polished silk tie of his later years. He's sorely missed but the videos carry his ghost well. Highly recommended. As I Am December 10, 2007
