Soul Train's 25th Anniversary (1995) (TV)

From the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California it's the black-tie silver anniversary celebration of the greatest black-themed music and dance show in history. Arsenio came out of his hole (his words) to man the podium for the hosting duties. So-so comedy combined with excellent musical performances make for a better than great evening.

Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever (1983) (TV)

Hosted by Richard Pryor. A high point is the Jackson Brothers all performing together. I don't know who wanted to see Stuart Leslie Goddard (Adam Ant) sing the Motown classic, "Where Did Our Love Go?" but I doubt it was anyone in the audience from their tone. Don't let it get in the way of your enjoyment.
