Berlin - Intimate
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
