The Everly Brothers Reunion Concert (1983) Online

When asked recently for the most memorable moment of his career, Phil Everly replied "the Albert Hall reunion". It was September 1983, and ten years on from one of the most acrimonious splits in popular music history, when the Everly Brothers, Don and Phil, took to the stage at London's Royal Albert Hall. The Everlys had dominated the charts in the late fifties and early to mid sixties. Their close harmony singing, acoustic guitars and brilliant songwriting had become instantly recognisable and inspired millions of fans worldwide. On an emotional night in London, the reunion was a success and led to the renewal of their partnership and many more years of success, which continue to this day. Bonus Features: "Rock 'n' Roll Odyssey" - this documentary, made at the same time as the Albert Hall reunion, tells the complete story of the Everly Brothers up to that point in time. Don and Phil tell their story with additional contributions from Linda Ronstadt, Chet Atkins and many more.

I had heard a few of their songs on oldie stations but was not really familiar with them. I did not know about their 10 year breakup. I do like concert films and happened to see this in my video rental store. After viewing, I immediately purchased it.

The concert of course features the harmony and guitars of the Everly's with a band that includes an electric keyboard and guitar and bass. The concert is basic as far as lighting and camera coverage. The brothers were not especially dynamic performers but honor their roots and their hit songs extremely well.

I believe nearly all of their major hits are represented, some as parts of medleys and others slightly updated with different arrangements. This is a very satisfying concert and quite touching as the brothers sing some love songs that the listener can't help but feel that they are being sung to one another.

Phil has passed away so there will be no more from this duo. Consider at least renting this for an entertaining musical experience.

There is a nice documentary as well which includes interviews with admirers and artists influential in their musical development.
