I've been a firm believer and tauter of the genius of Bobby Darin ever since I saw this video run on my local PBS station. At first I was going to continue clicking past it when I thought it was just another episode of the Lawrence Welk show (sorry, it's just that everything looked like the Lawrence Welk show in the 70's) but then I heard Bobby sing. He was singing a Hank Williams tune and it was just dripping with soul. The look on the man's face, the sound of his voice, the way he moved, I could just tell that he meant every word he was singing. I was hooked, I put the remote down and finished out the program. Realizing that there was much that I missed, I went online and found it listed here and purchased it immediately. I've never been sorry. In fact, most of my DVD collection is one-time-use only but this one lives on top of the TV.
Just to give a little background, I grew up on Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and Stevie Ray Vaughan, not the sort of music a person writing a Bobby Darin review would typically listen to. Darin's genre bending, crooner/soul tinged arrangements and fantastic backup band would make anybody a believer, no doubt! The energy in this one is phenomenal, even more so when you learn that Bobby only lived another 9 months after this broadcast due to a severe heart condition. In fact, he gave every bit of his heart in this one... I'm not surprised that he didn't leave enough for himself.
The extras on this are good too, some clips from Bobby's own variety show, some behind the scenes stuff and a little mini film on Bobby's comeback show at the Copa. If you buy no other DVD this year, make it this one!

"MACK IS BACK" I simply adore this DVD !!! Bobby Darin--in my opinion--was the GREATEST PERFORMER/ENTERTAINER of his generation!!!!!! He had such a passion to perform to the world and did it soooo well!!! He had a nack for making you FEEEEL, what each song was saying>>>>with his facial expressions and dance moves****YOU WON`T BE DISAPOINTED*****He starts with such stantards: "Can`t Take My Eyes OFF Of You,"Once in a lifetime", "Help Me Make It Through The Night","Beyond The Sea", and then leads into the great "If I Were A Carpender",the intence "Midnight Special" and then ending with the awesome bluesy "BoDidly" & SPLISH SPLASH!!!!!!!! To think he did all this with being so ill and shortness of breath.*****Thank you Bobby***** for your love & passion to sing to the world****we miss you, Dian

I have the VHS Tape & the DVD, just had to have a backup. I cannot imagine where Bobby got the energy to do this (his last recorded performance) knowing how ill he had been his last three years. The whole performance was great, and I just love his "Higher& Higher" and then "The Midnight Special" with all the movement is just so great. At the end such a wild Rock Ending. Not to be missed.

Quite possibly the best all-around entertainer to ever step on a stage! Bobby was head-and-shoulders above his contemporaries... and others. Darin DARED! He recorded material (Dr. Doolittle; Milord, included here and, en francais, no less!) others would not even attempt and more often than not was successful, artistically if not necessarily commercially.
This 4CD package represents a great cross-section of his work.
A superb talent, great material, a superb package from Rhino! Superb entertainment in store for you!
