25 Years of #1 Hits - Arista Records 25th Anniversary Celebration

Rating:
Summary: Good Show
Review: This a very good show. Highlights are Toni Braxton, Barry Manilow, Santana and Whitney Houston.

Rating:
Summary: Lots of Stars-Past and Present
Review: This is the DVD release of the TV broadcast from May 2000. It collects a wide assortment of Arista stars past and present including Santana, Witney Huston, Dion Warwick, Barry Manilow, Air Supply, and Sarah McLachlan. McLachlan's haunting rendition of "Angel" was a particular high point, as was Manilow's all-too-brief medley of songs. The only complaint I have about this disc is the complete lack of extras. It appears that in the rush to get this released immediately after broadcast, someone forgot to take advantage of the DVD format and provide us with backstage footage, outtakes, extended performances, etc. Are we looking toward a Special Edition release any time soon? Probably not, so take advantage of what they have to offer here.
