Fabulous Holiday DVD |
|
Couldn't be happier. This DVD, filmed in Branson, was excellent. All the familiar faces were there, and their voices, dancing, and music were just as strong as ever. I would highly recommend this DVD. |

Trying To Keep The Welk Spirit Alive |
|
Sadly, Lawrence is now part of Christmas past but his family lives on! If you are a fan of the Lawrence Welk family and curious to see how they've aged -- this Dvd is for you. Old entertainers are like old athletes. Their best years are behind them. I'd label this product -- For Fans Only |

IT WOULDN'T BE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT IT !! |
|
THIS DVD WILL CURE THOSE HOLIDAY BLUES AND MAKE YOU SMILE. AN OLD FASHIONED MUSICAL CHRISTMAS WITH GREAT MUSIC, FABULOUS SINGERS, AND DANCERS. THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER MUSICAL PERFORMANCE. THIS SHOW WAS DESIGNED WITH WARMTH AND TALENTED INDIVIDUALS WHO LOVE WHAT THEY DO. IT IS A MUSICAL CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND THAT INDESCRIBABLE FEELING KNOWN AS "THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT." WE NEED MORE SHOWS LIKE THIS TODAY. MY FAMILY WATCHES THIS DVD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. |

Not a vintage Lawrence Welk show |
My wife bought this expecting to see a vintage Lawrence Welk Christmas Show and was disappointed to find upon viewing it that it was a 1995 show done in Branson, Missouri. It had almost no actual views of the old Welk show but rather a modern somewhat Welk-like reproduction. It did have some of the performers from that show but seeing more of those old shows would have been much better.
If you wish to view Lawrence Welk himself or his original shows, do not buy this DVD. That said, many of the songs and presentations were entertaining but most not up to the best of the old Welk shows. |

Not what I expected but... |
I can't say it was anyone's fault in particular but let me keep others from making my mistake. At the time I bought this dvd from Americancivilwar I do not believe it said anything about being a "reunion concert."
This is a 1995 reunion dvd rather than the actual Christmas show from yester-year. If you like that sort of thing that's cool, but for myself I purchased the dvd for more of a time period nostalgic purpose and was pretty disappointed.
For those who would like a better description, the back of the dvd says:
"In the 40 year holiday tradition of the Lawrence Welk Television Show, the musical family of stars gather at the Champagne Theatre in Branson, Missouri, for an all new Christmas Reunion Concert."
Appearances by:
Norma Zimmer (Host)
Fern Welk (Lawrence's wife)
The Lennon Sisters- Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Jo Ann Castle- The Skater's Watz
Jack Imel- Winter Wonderland
Mary Lou Metzger & Ken Delo- White Christmas
Tom Netherton- The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Bobby Burgess & Elaine Balden- Christmas Waltz & Jingle Bell Rock
Guy Hovis- Some Children See Him
Anacani- It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
Joe Feeney- O Holy Night & How Great Thou Art
The show was really boring to me but I couldn't drive myself to give it 1 star because I believe that fans of the show that grew up with the show would probably really enjoy it. I did give it a 3 because I felt it could have been described better than what it was at the time I bought it.
