Alabama - For the Record: 41 Number One Hits Live Genres:Country, Pop There are probably people who can't name one--let alone 41--of Alabama's country-western hits and, for them, it probably comes as a shock to find out that this band has actually taken that many songs to the top of the C&am... more »p;W charts. Those chart-toppers provide a loosely knit theme for this DVD, which offers an Alabama performance in Las Vegas in 1998. Boasting more than three hours of live Alabama music (more music, it would seem, than one could find in the entire state), this concert document reveals a band with little stage presence, limited musical range, and the ingratiating manner to put it across to a worshipful crowd. An alternate audio track features the band members reminiscing about each of the songs (how no one thought this one would be a hit or how everyone knew that one would be a blockbuster). The DVD also features scrolling lyrics (for the home-karaoke aficionado) as well as backstage footage and a music video for their 42nd No. 1 hit, "How Do You Fall in Love." --Marshall Fine« less

"Wow! I have to say that Alabama has set a new standard for DVD!! I bought the "For The Record" DVD yesterday and I love it! This DVD alone is a reason to spend the money on a DVD player!! The commentary for all 42 songs is the BEST! It's also nice to have scrolling lyrics to all the songs if you need them and to get a glimpse behind the scenes look of the concert. It will take me a while to get through all the extras on the disk, but so far I love every one!! The addition of the "How Do You Fall In Love" video is a great little extra also. To everyone: This disk is a MUST HAVE for any Alabama fan!!"

"The Alabama For the Record DvD is an Awsome piece of Artistry.
It shows not only the wonderful musical talent that these Guys have but also all of the Accompishments as well as the many Charities that they are devoted to. Alabama is the Band of the Centry and this DVD Shows why. The Dvd Also shows how devoted Alabama is to their Fans, and how proud the people in the music industry are of them and all they have done. As Alabama embarks on their FairWell Tour this "Live DVD" is a must for any Country Music Fan. Thanks From a Fan for 23 years"

"I have been an Alabama fan ever since I saw them at Knotts Berry Farm many years ago. I told the non-believers that this group would be the greatest band, ever.Well, this DVD is the best performance by Alabama. It not only demonstrates incredible talent, it gives lyrics, behind the scene shots, and much more. In reflection, this DVD symbolizes the candle that sits in my window, still burning into the night. It validates what I have been telling everyone all along.The 'boys in the band' are now legends and they have made a tremendous impact upon millions of lives around the world. Anyone that has ever had their doubts about country music, it ain't about that. There is much more to Alabama than country music. Give it a shot. ROLL ON!"

"Can't say enought about the service from Amazon or this dvd. It arrived on my doorstep here in NewZealand just 10 days after ordering it. Great service Amazon. And what can you say about Alabama?. Course you'd only expect the best dvd from the best band ever and that's what you get with this one. Plus scrolling lyrics if you want to turn them on and have a sing-along. I hope the music never stops from Alabama.If you are a fan, don't go past this one."
Exceptional Compilation DVD!

"This DVD illustrates why Alabama has been referred to as a 'Supergroup" for the past few years. From the first to the last, Alabama's 41 #1 hits take us through the evolution of the band's various styles, each one built on the last but unique in its own right. This is a band for all seasons, and for all musical tastes - there is something here for everyone. There's no better time to own it now that Alabama has launched its American Farewell Tour. To date, Alabama's music is unparalleled."
