Cinderella- In Concert Blu-ray Review

For the hair metal fans out there.  

“Cinderella- In Concert” is a filmed recording of the American hair metal/glam metal band in concert in Detroit on May 3, 1991 during the Heartbreak Station Tour. The 17 track setlist is comprised of: “The More Things Change,” “Push Push,” “Sick For The Cure,” “Make Your Own Way,” “Night Songs,” “Back Home Again,” “Somebody Save Me,” “Heartbreak Station,” “Coming Home,” “Falling Apart At The Seams,” “Love’s Got Me Doin’ Time,” “Love Gone Bad,” “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone),” “Nobody’s Fool,” “Gypsy Road,” “Shake Me,” and “Shelter Me.” 

While the band found success in the 80’s with hits like “Nobody’s Fool,” the Philly based Cinderella burned out in the 90’s and has fallen into relative obscurity. Hair metal/glam metal enthusiasts, however, still treasure the band and this concert is definitely for that demographic wanting to take a stroll down memory lane. 

Led by frontman Tom Keifer, Cinderella is more than a little reminiscent of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. They’re hard rock but they also have a blues rock sound at times. Keifer also sounds a whole heck of a lot like the AC/DC singer Brian Johnson. Heck, even the song “Shake Me” especially sounds like it could be an AC/DC track! Truth be told, it can be difficult to differentiate one track from the other with the exception of the aforementioned “Nobody’s Fool” and the underrated track you still hear every now and then “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone).”

In terms of the performance, the band certainly puts on a lively show with smoke, lights, active movement on the stage and sparkling outfits. The production crew also does a commendable job here in capturing the show’s vibe via multiple angles.

Video/Audio:

Presentation: 1.33:1 1080p. How does it look? Truth be told, this looks like an upscaled VHS bootleg, but it’s probably still a step up from the DVD release.

Audio Track: 2.1 PCM Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1. How does it sound? The back of the cover claims this audio is digitally remastered but you probably won’t be able to tell. The roar of the crowd frequently drowns out the music and Keifer’s vocals can be tough to hear at times. 

The lone extra is a music still gallery slide show.
