Berlin – Intimate (2003)

Berlin - Intimate

Amazon.com
The ’80s pop group Berlin went south about the time the wall of the same name was razed. Now one of them has returned–and it ain’t the one with a Checkpoint Charlie. No, former sex kitten (now sex cat?) Terri Nunn is back fronting her band, promoting a new album (Voyeur) and performing in this 14-song, 76-minute (including between-song interview bits) show, recorded in an L.A. studio in 2002. Nunn is the only remaining original member, but Berlin is still about electro-dance music with a Europop sheen, and, especially, sex, with the singer now joined onstage by scantily clad dancers and a female backup vocalist to add to the general sensuality of the scene. The music is a mix of old hits (“No More Words,” “Sex (I’m A),” “Take My Breath Away”), songs from the new CD, and a couple of covers, all delivered with considerable power and enthusiasm (and sometimes even in tune) by Nunn and company. Slap this one in the DVD player and prepare to party. –Sam Graham

    Berlin are one of the great bands that came out of the New Wave era of the late 70’s/early 80’s. This DVD proves that with songs such as Masquerade and The Metro – the music…

    Average Release. Some Ups and Downs.
    This DVD release by the band probably best known for Take My Breath Away from the Top Gun Soundtrack has some pluses and minuses.

    Great performance, but horrid audio mixing and camera work
    After seeing Berlin perform live at the KROQ Inland Invasion back in September, I knew I had to get their DVD.

    Fantastic!!!!!!
    Nobody loves to sing more than Terri, and it comes across in this DVD. Both her and the band put forth a spirited show, playing both old and new material.
