Summary: Even if your not an Adam Ant fan...
Comment: The way this production was put togeher is great. Heaven knows what the sets must have cost! I have watched it three times since purchasing it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Astonishing
Comment: Occasionally a band emerges in live performance in a way that's never captured in the studio. I recall thinking at the time that this little eddy of style might well lead the way for other musicians--but it didn't happen. Adam's foray remains unique and brilliant but where he led no one else could follow. If you didn't see the band perform live or at least hear this taped performance (or another from the era), you know nothing, repeat nothing, about Adam Ant.

Summary: kings of the wild frontier
Comment: adam and the ants prince charming review .when you look at the box its basically a concert film at first glance.then you pop the vhs tape in and hopefully its been well preserved as my own copy plays as clear as any dvd and is mint.by the time the band takes the stage you relize that this is no ordinary concert,it is borderline a theatracle spectacle??a play with different acts??in 1981-82 this was unheard of.while other bands like loverboy,rush and the van halens of the world spent undisclosed amounts of money for some pyrotechniches and (wow)lasor lighting,not to mention a ten minute guitar solo and a 15 minute drum solo by every band. adam and his tribe put on a show that was still the traditional concert with all the live music,live vocals,dual drums that the arena bands of the day presented but his stage theatrics were light years ahead of its time.sean p.diddy combs was still in diapers when the bold adam ant broke ground and turned his stage into a 17th century spanish gallion.or a ancient norman castle.or drifting through the plains of western north america with its native american look and the pulsating tribal beats.
working off the material of his first three lp's dirk wears white sox,kings of the wild fronier and prince charming adam and the ants were at the very top of there game.and although i have seen him many times since the prince charming review,nothing at that time was so bold in regards to a live rock n roll concert.i dont even think he knew the impact that this one show or tour would have on the music scene forever.even creative genious minds like david bowie fed off the prince charming review with his glass spider tour,and so many after him.
this vhs is adam and the ants at there very best and also is a milestone of taking a rock n roll concert and mixing it with theatrics in a tasteful way and combining the two for a spellbinding show.this is the way i shall forever remember marco,merrick,terry lee,gary tibbs and his truly adam ant(stuart goddard).kings of the wild frontier..forever
