This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

In thought this show was so brilliant, the performers were really great and I still enjoy watching the performers, but the performance that I enjoyed most would have to be Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. I loved the moonwalk and his dancing was superb as usual.

Marvin Gaye, Micheal Jackson and the other Motown greats in Concert. Wonderful!! I would love to see this again. Great hits, mature presentations. The concert has a magic all of its own with Berry Gordy Jnr. enjoying every minute.
