Fans of Barry Manilow will be able to appreciate this sincere tribute to the city that obviously holds a special place in his heart. Nothing spectacular, just good music.
The chances are pretty good that Columbia Pictures would never have put up the money to acquire Godspell had it not been for the earlier mega-hit status of Jesus Christ Superstar as an album and Broadway show. Godspell was a livelier, somewhat lower-rent off-Broadway musical, with a harder, more basic rock sound, also derived from a religious source. Luckily, the producers didn't carry the original too far from its roots as a student work and an off-Broadway success, shooting the movie entirely in New York with a guileless young cast drawn from various stage companies of the piece. The DVD features a good letterboxed transfer of the film, from elements that look and sound at least two generations up from the source material used for television showings in the 1980s. It's not perfect but it is likely a match for most theatrical showings that the movie ever got. The score does come through loudly, with a lot of presence even to the acoustic guitars. The producers have tried to make the DVD special, with only limited success -- in fact, the packaging seems to promise more than the disc delivers. The "Bonus Trailers" refer to trailers for other Columbia titles, but not for Godspell. The "Talent Files" are somewhat sparse, limited to three principal cast members and the director. And the 15 chapters, although they allow viewers to access the individual songs, are also too limited and run way too long, with too much non-song material. On a more positive note, the insert card credits the individual performers featured in each song.
The Easter season and the NBC live updated production of Jesus Christ Superstar led me to search out this film version of Godspell from 1973. Interesting memories from 45 years ago were conjured up as I watched - not the least of which were a very young Victor Garber in the lead role, and views of the New York skyline featuring the ill-fated Twin Towers. Our local college's summer theater program had facilitated an early developmental production of Godspell on stage, making this all the more nostalgic.

Up and running for a month now, no problems, good performance. I took the easy route and fed off my AT&T modem/router to use for WiFi only; the instructions provided were just what I needed to accomplish a seamless transition.
In one CD you get not only MIchael McDonald's hits but a nuimber of Doobie Bros. cuts as well. This nicely filled a void in my music collection and provided some excellent items I had not heard before as well.
This CD nicely filled a hole in my music collection, that being items performed by Carlos Santana. It provides an interesting selection of well-known hits and some collaborations that many might not have ever heard.
Never mind the fact that these are original mono recordings, the quality is superb and the content is a testament to the genius of guitar great Les Paul and the vocal talent of Mary Ford.

These batteries perform quite well for their price, and it's handy to have a good supply on hand. My wife's back benefits from a massage belt, and the one she has now uses 3 batteries at a time - so we need a ready supply , and these AA's have quite a good lifespan for this use.

Not great sound.....the high end frequency response is only 15khz....but it sounds so much better than most TV speakers ever will, especially in the bass. I'm just disappointed that the frequency range of this unit was not even mentioned in the posted Specs; and I didn't see any mention of it in the reviews I read. Everyone goes ga-ga over the bass, but forgets the other side of the coin. Still, I'd buy it again for what I needed.
