Memory Boulevard
Reviews

"Just finished watching 'Memory Boulevard' and all I can say is WOW! 5 Stars. You've managed to capture all the great cars and the happy faces of those of us who were fortunate to have grown up in that magical time called the fabulous 50's. You can be sure that I'll be sharing your video artistry with my family and friends, especially during this winter as we look forward to summer sunshine, old cars, great music and a few precious days to be '17' again. Bob Hope said it best. 'Thanks for the Memories.' " F.L., West Milford, NJ

"I got the '04 DVD today and it is great! I loved it. Well done." G.B., Marlton, NJ

"I viewed the video and, SPECTACULAR. AS USUAL! You and your company are true professionals. This past year was my second year at Lead East. The second of many! Whenever I get the winter blues here in Rhode Island, I just pop in one or both of the videos and relive the two greatest vacations I have been on. I truly mean that!
In the past two years I have met so many great people and have so many fond memories of everybody and everything. I feel honored that "Big Boy" made the video. I can honestly say that I have more fun playing the part than many people may realize. Besides, I show all of my friends back home and they just shake their heads in disbelief.
In closing, I just want to say great job. Lead East faithfuls, I personally witnessed the time and effort that was put into the 2004 video. If you don't have one, get it! As a matter of fact, get them all. It's the only way we can keep Memory Boulevard open!
" P.R., East Providence, RI

"Thanks again for such a fun video!" J.L., Bridgewater, NJ

"Best video you guys ever did. It is outstanding. Very well balanced. It truly gives you the feeling that you're at the event. I have tons of tapes, but yours are the models of how event tapes should be. I'm thrilled with 'Memory Boulevard'." N.D., Olean, NY

"You do great work!" R.L., Nashville, TN

"Thanks for the GREAT Lead East videos for the last dozen years. You truly captured the spirit and the essence of these events and it will be difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to fill your shoes.
I look forward to ordering and receiving your Memory Boulevard tape and cherishing it with ALL the other memorable works you have produced.
Like the Fonz, you are truly one-of-a-kind!!!!!! " J.P.M., Morris Plains, NJ

"I just wanted to write to say how much I loved your video of Lead East ‘93. I ordered the ‘94, too. Your staff is excellent. I hope you always cover this event." J.L., Howard Beach, NY

"Don't stop the creative juices from flowing. I've watched "Lead" several times when I'm on the road and it's a postcard from home." D.D., Wanaque, NJ

"We have both of the ‘93 tapes and I've watched them both 5 times. Outstanding. Seeing a tape is one thing, but the sound of customs going by makes your tapes the best over all we've seen." B.C., Tinley Park, IL

"We just wanted to tell you that you do a great job capturing the event! Both the 1993 and 1994 videos are extremely professional and enjoyable to view. We particularly like the way you incorporated the Joel Katz & Twilight song "Back in the 50's" in the ‘94 video! It is a wonderful song which summarizes the feelings of the patrons of Lead East. You were able to capture the spirit and the high points of the weekend with the images you set to this music. Great job! We look forward to attending 1995 Lead East and to seeing your next video." D.L., Germantown, MD

"The videos are the life of the party here in K.C." S.S., Kansas City, MO

"Thank you...for producing truly one of the best ROD tapes I have ever seen." J.R.H., Bergenfield, NJ

"I just received the two videos ordered from the 1993 Lead East Weekend–the Event Video and 1949-1951 Shoebox Fords and Mercs. The quality, content and audio are excellent. They are first-rate videos and welcome additions to my personal collection. Thanks for a great job. I look forward to attending next year's event and purchasing your great tapes!" J.P.M., New Rochelle, NY

"My hat's off to you and everyone at Fairway Productions for the "GREAT" job you performed on putting together the LEAD EAST 94 video. If the whole weekend activities could have been compressed into one hour, then this video is certainly the proof. One terrific production job. You should be very proud of your work." M.R., Phillipsburg, NJ

"The metallic Green was vivid and not washed-out like some other footage I've seen. Very well done. During the whole film I was treated to power aerials sliding down into cool fender recesses, "Marque" ornamentation, air brushing scenes, and the detail on the glass engraving was epic!! You get high marks for these little "goodies." Of note: the scene with the man and his wife cruising in the ‘59 Ford Sunliner with the great "rug" music was a total hook to all our sensitivities to the ‘50's." D.D., Mesa, AZ

"Parties are never dull with these tapes. A class act." D.W., Derby NY

"I have received your videos on Lead East and have already watched them several times. Just a word to tell you that they are great! When we look at these cars we feel like being there, in USA and we can come later at this event." F.T. Barangeon, France

"Thank you so much for your fast response. Since moving to Florida the only thing we miss about the north is going to Lead East every year. Your video keeps us connected in a way...We order one every year and love them."

"You guys put out the best show videos of any that I have seen."
L.C., Toledo, OH

"Got my tape today. Love the cover. I feel that your work is most important to document our enjoyment. Just to know that we might be in the video is exciting. We have seen ourselves in many during the last ten years. It reminds me of American Bandstand when the couples were on camera for the viewing audience. Your filming seems to add to the importance of the event."
D.F., Smyrna, GA

"I enjoyed your 1998 video of Lead East–"Jukebox Drive." Seriously thought it was the best yet. I always have a tear in my eye because the 50's are over and your video ended much too soon." R.J.M. Hampton, VA
