Description
The 5th Dimension Travelling Sunshine Show recaptures the now "classic" SOUNDS OF THE 70s, that colorful decade of non-stop hits, disco, sideburns and bell-bottoms. A charming look back at the transition from the psychedelic 60s to the New Wave of the 80s. THE 5th DIMENSION ruled the TOP 10 charts with songs that have become standards, like Up-Up and Away and Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In. Together with superstar guests Dionne Warwick, Merle Haggard and The Carpenters, they take you on a dazzling 24-song musical tour that will keep you smiling and singing along from beginning to end. V.I.E.W. Video is proud to bring back the goodtime fun of THE SOUNDS OF THE 70s, which will lift your spirits with the sounds and stars of that colorful decade. A new and nostalgic Video Collection for today...

 Meh, it's okay. April 25, 2006
Fun and campy way to kill a little time without hurting anyone. Correction: The DVD lists one of the Carpenters' songs as "Someone Like You," and I must say one of the reasons I purchased the DVD is that it appeared to contain a Carpenters song I'd not heard before. Alas, 'twas not to be. "Someone Like You" is actually the Carpenters cover of "Reason To Believe," which was almost released as a single by A&M.
 Very disappointing. October 9, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
All of the group's best hits (Up Up And Away, Wedding Bell Blues, Acquarius/Let The Sun Shine In, and Stoned Soul Picnic) are on a medley with only only small portions of each of those hit songs. The rest of the tracks are relatively unknown. I like the 5th Dimension, but this DVD was extraordinarily disappointing.
If you want to see good performances by the 5th Dimenson, I found them: Two DVDs: "Straight from the Heart" and "Straight from the Heart, Vol II". Their performance on those DVDs are excellent! You won't be sorry.
Stylized lipsunk renditions of good songs. February 3, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed in this DVD. I was expecting a concert, or at least live performances. Instead, everything is lip sunk. Towards the end I thought they were going to do some live songs, but even that seems to have been lip sunk. If you like lip sunk stuff, fine. I was really wanting to see them do some nice stuff live. Some groups are good live, some are hideous live. I'm not sure if the 5th Dimension can perform live, and this DVD gave me no information about their live talent. The morale here is: Buyer Beware.
 A concert Would be great also! December 15, 2004
This was the 5th Dimension's tv special from way back when. While I am very pleased to have ANYTHING from 5th on DVD, it would be great to have full concert as well. In the meantime with Dionne Warwick, The Carpenters and 5th you should be well pleased with this purchase.
Hit Songs Are Included Only On A Medley May 31, 2004
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I base my rating of two stars on the fact the group's hit songs such as Up Up And Away, Wedding Bell Blues, Acquarius/Let The Sun Shine In, and Stoned Soul Picnic are only very briefly sung with a few lines of each song. I bought the DVD with the idea they would sing the entire song, but was disappointed. If this doesn't bother you, I'm sure you will rate the DVD higher than I did.
