 MARVIN THE MASTER! LIVE AND INIMITABLE. Nov 26, 2008
"Live In Montreux" is one of the best concerts that I've ever seen by ANYONE. Of course that goes with the territory when you're watching and listening to Marvin Gaye.
I've got news for some of you folks; it isn't about a slight audio section not sounding as pristine as you might have wanted it to. It's about the fact that Marvin delivers straight up SOUL in a huge way on this dvd. If you're wanting perfection in the content, however, and not the two seconds of audio that you didn't like you should purchase this dvd immediately.
All you have to do is check the track listing and imagine Marvin pouring his guts into these songs and you have an inkling of what this concert is all about. I didn't see anyone there complaining!
Marvin performs a large variety of his hits and some that are a little more obscure with his utmost passion which is still unrivaled to this day. His banter with the audience is classy and entertaining. He dances with two women in a very sweet way which was probably the high point of their lives. And after a prop malfunction he does the most touching tribute to Tammi Terrell that I've ever seen. I had tears in my eyes and I'm a man.
Marvin is backed by an incredible orchestra and even takes a bit of time to play the drums which, if you know anything about Marvin, takes it back to the beginning of his career with Motown.
I would give this dvd 10 stars for any music lover.
The only negative aspect to this dvd is that it quickly reminds us of what we're missing in music today.

 MARVIN GAYE LIVE IN MONTREUX 1980 Feb 19, 2008
i LOVE MARVIN GAYE BUT IT ALL LOOKED STRAINED AND HE LOOKED VERY SHALL i SAY, OUT OF IT. IT WAS VERY LOUD AND HIS VOICE WAS DIFFICULT TO HEAR AND VERY STRAINED NO FOR ME.
GREAT SERCICE AND QUICK DELIVERY THOUGH.

 Disappointed Jul 26, 2006
Good performance by Marvin and the band, but the sound is soooooo weak. Marvin never gets the audio prominence he deserves in this DVD.

WOW! Despite the audio (which is understandable) Jul 21, 2006
Just to come to this page and see the conga player on this review I am just in AWE! Girl you REALLY played them and it must have been a major treat to tour with the great Marvin Gaye!
A friend gave this to me as she KNOWS how much of a major fan I am of this genius (especially after mentioning to her that I was dying to see the live show)! Yes the audio is not the best, but just to see his presence is ALWAYS a treat for me! I had the CD to this concert before the DVD and it makes a WORLD of a difference to see him on stage!
The band was TIGHT! And the singers even TIGHTER! I wish I was one of the two women who got to dance with Marvin! This is as close to seeing Marvin live I will ever get as I was a little girl when he passed, but by then I was already familiar with him because one of my first record purchases was 1982's SEXUAL HEALING, which sparked my interest in DJing and Marvin Gaye!
One of my highlights for me includes a monologue of him receiving a "phone call" about his woman cheating during his performance of GRAPEVINE! It also shows his talent on the keyboards!
From the opening to the closing it is worth seeing and adding this to your collection! An absolute MUST for Marvin fans!
