This review is from: Rock and Roll at 50 (DVD)

To be honest,I really expected this music DVD to be totally lame,with most of the artists to be lifeless old farts and hags that could hardly carry themselves properly onstage.Glad to see that I was very wrong about that.As it turns out,’Rock&Roll At 50′ is quite entertaining to watch.Many very good/well produced performances by the likes of Bo Diddley,playing his namesake “Bo Diddley”,Jerry Lee Lewis,with “Whole Lot Of Shakin’ Going On”,Brian Hyland-”Sealed With A Kiss”,Gerry Marsden(of Gerry&The Pacemakers)doing two of his gems,”Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying” and “Ferry Cross The Mersey”,one time hit maker Paul&Paula with “Hey Paula”,The Manfreds playing “Do Wah Diddy Diddy”,pajama pop idol Lesley Gore giving us “Maybe I Know”(looking good at 59,Lesley)and Darlen Love(of the Crystals)with “He’s A Rebel”.Those are just the highlights.Total of 22 songs.Recommended for true pop fans over the age of 55.
