Customer Reviews:

WOW! Can't wait for this one!.......2007-09-15

I've been waiting to see these shows for, well, forever! Up until now the only way to see these performances was on bootleg video (although I believe the CMT Network ran some of these at one time)and YouTube. This is some amazing music from a man who simply loved playing good music. And good musicians, young and old, black and white. It's a shame it lasted barely 2 years. But it's a blessing that someone had the smarts to preserve these wonderful shows. This will be worth it for the Clapton and Dylan footage. There is precious little performance footage of his tenure with Derek and the Dominos, and here he really shines. You can tell by his face how amazed he is to be onstage jamming with both Cash and Carl Perkins. I've never seen Dylan's performance but this was (arguably) his first ever live tv performance, he'd been out of the spotlight since his 1966 motorcycle accident and gone back to his folky roots while the rest of the world turned up the volume. So this is prime Dylan with one of his idols. As well as seeing CCR at their peak. The Neil Young footage can also be seen on the special edition of his "Live at Massey Hall" CD. Can't wait!

Great collection of hippie-era country and pop.......2007-09-09

This two-disc set collects highlights of Johnny Cash's short-lived musical variety show, which aired on network TV between 1969-71. At the peak of the hippies-vs.-straights culture clash, Cash boldly invited guests from across the American musical spectrum -- longhairs, country traditionalists, Nashville insiders, jazz musician, rock stars, pop tunesmiths and folkies. The guest list is truly astonishing, given the tensions of the times. Bob Dylan -- one of Cash's favorite artists -- was on the first show in '69, tipping viewers off that this wasn't gonna be your typical country TV show. Appearances by Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Wonder and John Fogerty followed, as well as master entertainers such as Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles. And of course, there was the cream of the country crop -- Waylon Jennings, Ray Price, Marty Robbins, George Jones, Loretta Lynn and Johnny's crew from his road show -- June Carter Cash & the Carter Family, the Statler Brothers, Carl Perkins and others. In the wings were some amazing sidemen: keep an eye out for Norman Blake plucking acoustic guitar, as well as the wealth of up-and-coming talent that Cash went out of his way to promote (notably Kris Kristofferson, who reminisces about the old shows in interview segments added in this DVD set...)

This is a great collection, generously programmed (the set list on the Menu goes on for page after page...) and many of the performances are pure gold (George Jones is awesome!) Some fans will complain that they'd rather see the original shows as broadcast at the time, and while I agree that that would be fun, I don't see any reason to give anything but praise to this set. The documentary format, with various Cash crew and compatriots interviewed and introducing different segments, is kinda cool, and for the most part they know when to get out of the way and let the music play. It's a pity they didn't shoot the whole TV show on film -- some of the video stock gets kinda flared out (the Dylan clips, in particular) but, hey -- that's history for you. Personally, I'm glad to see whatever stuff like this there is -- it's a great look back at an interesting cultural moment, when mainstream country was still pretty traditional, although the walls were starting to fall and new influences were coming into play. Cash fans and country fans alike will want to check this one out! (DJ Joe Sixpack)

Here We Go Again.......2007-08-23

I'm so tired of these "Best Of" compilations. I've been waiting almost 40 years to see these shows and, once again, they get chopped up. Why can't somebody (finally) get it right and issue complete variety series in there entirety? Geez, it only lasted two years! You could probably fit every episode in one or two boxed sets with double-sided DVDs, which so many companies do nowadays. Instead, we get all complete seasons of Friends when all one needs to do is turn on the TV at any given time of the day and see the same episodes in syndication - as bad as seeing I Love Lucy continuously until we have the complete dialogs memorized! Shame on you Columbia/Legacy for doing this. It's like a teaser of something we'll never have. This may be the "best" for you but not for me and, therefore, I will not be purchasing it.

OUTSTANDING TELEVISION!.......2007-08-08

I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who just appreciates good music. I caught a sneak preview of this amazing disc on my local PBS station in August of 2007, and it was one of the greatest things I had seen on television in a long time. Johnny Cash's prime time televion show aired from 1969 - 1971, and featured both prominent rock and country artists of the day. Groundbreaking television for sure, considering at the time that most rock artists were associated with the peace, drugs, free love and the anti-war movement by a conservative segment of American society, just when the war was really starting to sour. Filmed live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee (with a few exceptions), in front of a mostly Southern country music audience, all the artists seemed to be warmly embraced by the crowd, with Johnny Cash's blessing and support. The first hour consisted of rock and popular music performers that Johnny Cash was an admirer or fan of, including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Neil Diamond, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The highlight was Derek and the Dominoes featuring Eric Clapton, and following their performance none other than Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash himself joined Derek and the Dominoes onstage for a raucous version of Perkins' Matchbox. Simply amazing.
The second half was Johnny himself performing solo, with his wife June Carter Cash, and with the Tennessee Three. Prominent country artists also featured were George Jones, Tammy Wynette, a young, short-haired and beardless Hank Williams Jr., young Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and Charley Pride (possibly the only black country artist ever). These are only the performances shown on the PBS special preview. There were literally hundreds of great performances on this show over its two year run. There's no lip synching nonsense here. Every artist actually performing and singing live. This is priceless television and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of any of the artists I mentioned. You will not be disappointed. It won't be available until September of 2007, and I will most definitely be purchasing it.

what's with all the makeup on the dancing girls.......2007-09-04

Elvis sounded and looked great!!! Black leather!!! WOW!!! But what's with those scary looking women all over him! Pounds of makeup, big hair, and funny clothing! What's that about? Women never looked like that!

So sexy.......2007-09-03

There is nothing quite as sexy as Elvis in his 68 Comeback Special. Like most, I only really knew of the black leather suit jam session part of this show. There is much more. And the outtakes are priceless. Rare glimpses of Elvis really laughing, happy. And that face. That voice. That mischievous manner. This is a must have for any Elvis fan.

Revisiting Elvis.......2007-08-28

The original Elvis mania was a little before my time - I rarely can say that about anything anymore, but I can say it about this. I was too busy being a kid during his first wave in the 50s to be very aware of popular music. I didn't really start listening until the British invasion of the 60s, which Elvis, following advice, wisely sat out. He kept busy in Hollywood instead. Until I was 15, I knew him mostly from his string of B movies. A few early ones (including Jailhouse Rock and King Creole), rose to the level of camp classics. The ones from the 60s struck me then as watchable but forgettable.

The time came when Elvis Presley wanted to return to live musical performances. In 1968, I watched the TV special "Elvis" and was blown away. I didn't see this show again until earlier this week, nearly 40 years later. My response was the same. This is classic Elvis at the top of his form before he became a caricature of himself. Others have commented with some justice that, in the 70s, the first Elvis impersonator was Elvis, but no such gibe applies here.

The show featured a mix of performances. Elaborately choreographed stage numbers presaged his later Las Vegas shows; they also presaged, to some degree, the acts of many present day pop stars, which seem to be as much about staging as about music, and which feature "electronic enhancement" (often little different from lip synching) of the voices. The bulk of the show, however, and by far the most effective part of it, is Elvis' straight-up un-enhanced music, played and sung almost casually and with humor in the midst of a fairly small audience.

I became a fan in 1968. What is on this DVD is the reason.

Elvis How He Should Be Remembered.......2007-08-26

Only now, with the purchase of this DVD, watching Elvis perform to a small intimate, studio audience, ("Unplugged" way before the term was used in the 80's and 90's), do I actually get it....I really do. This man and his music is ELECTRIC...the performance is outstanding. I now understand my parents when they talk about the influence he had on them, and all teenagers at the time.
He looks and sounds great, he plays to his influences (gospel and blues), as well as the classic hits he was famous for, and he performs like a true professional.

I now realise what a great loss he was to the music world. Forget what he became in the 1970's just before he died...this is ELvis as he should, and I'm sure will, be remembered.

A fantastic set....Very Highly Recommended

Elvis at his best.......2007-08-24

I have been an Elvis fan since I was 9 years old and have seen everything that Elvis ever acted in, performed at or was interviewed by and this DVD was among the top of my list. His performance was none other than spectacular and he, himself, was in the best possible condition of his career. Not that Elvis could ever be anything but spectacular, but this one particular DVD was just the most electrifying and yet showed Elvis as a dear, gentle young man who had the world at his fingertips and after seeing his performance, had every girl's, woman's and even every grandma's heart in his hand. This DVD is a MUST for anyone who enjoys the music, the persona, the talent and the love of Elvis. If I could have only two DVD's of Elvis, this is definitly one of the two. Elvis at his best will positively steal your heart in a heartbeat!

"I just want to play well, share the stage with my friends, give the best I can," says Neil Young before the concert that is the centerpiece of Heart of Gold. No problem, dude. Working with filmmaker Jonathan Demme, Young has come up with a gem--not all flash and bling-bling, but as understated as a single pearl, musically restrained yet emotionally open. Of course, neither Demme (an Oscar winner for The Silence of the Lambs; he also helmed Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense) nor Young would call it "a concert film"; the director describes it as "a dream concert, something that's literally being dreamt by Neil," while the singer-songwriter himself calls it "a multi-level story." Whatever, the project came together in 2005, as Young was finishing his Prairie Wind album (the latest in a string of lovely, country-flavored acoustic recordings dating back to 1972's Harvest) and preparing to debut the music at Nashville's fabled Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry. The fact that Young had also recently experienced a brain aneurysm might or might not have influenced his decision to film the show, but it certainly seems to have had an effect on the music. He and his band (which, with the addition of horns, strings, and backup singers, including Emmylou Harris, occasionally numbers forty or more musicians) perform Prairie Wind in its entirety, and there is some deeply moving, highly personal material here; in addition to the gospel-tinged "When God Made Me" and the dirge-like "No Wonder," Young sings about his recently-deceased father (the title song), his newly adult daughter ("Here for You"), the guitar he plays that once belonged to Hank Williams ("This Old Guitar"), and even his dog ("He Was the King"). Demme's direction is ideal for conveying the music's restrained acoustic textures, rich backing vocals, and simple, elegant melodies. Shots are held much longer than is usual in such films, and while there are lots of close-ups, there are no gimmicks. This superb DVD package is filled out by a second disc of bonus features, including a variety of featurettes and a solo performance of "The Needle and the Damage Done" from The Johnny Cash Show in 1971. --Sam Graham

Product Description

Academy-award winning director Jonathan Demme beautifully captures Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legend, Neil Young as he prepares and presents the performance of a lifetime with the help of his wife Peggi and friends country star Emmylou Harris, steel guitarist Ben Keith and more at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry.

Customer Reviews:

Amazing Concert DVD.......2007-09-02

I have always been a Neil Young fan and don't know how I missed this one in the theatre. In my opinion, Demme directs to perfection, besting Scorsese's work with The Last Waltz. If you are a fan of the music. you need to own both Heart of Gold and The Last Waltz amd then make your own comparisons. This one brought tears to my eyes.

Heart of Gold.......2007-08-29

A real life look at someone that has had a huge impact on the music industry.

Neil Young: Heart of Gold.......2007-07-23

This lovely, deeply affecting music doc gets the red-carpet treatment from "Stop Making Sense" director Jonathan Demme, who briefly introduces each of the players on their way to the show before literally zooming in on Young's remarkable performance. Singing folk-country songs about mortality, empty nests, and aged parents, Young's choppy rhythms and images of swaying Canadian cornfields harken back to his early '70s work on "Harvest" and "Comes a Time." It's obvious he's enjoying himself, and his between-song banter is tart, concise, and utterly charming. If you don't come away from "Heart of Gold" humming, you better have your ears checked.

STRUMMIN' IN THE REAL WORLD .......2007-07-21

I'll make no friends critisizing HEART OF GOLD as a dull concert movie. I liked the modern Nashville insight centered around the historic Ryman Auditorium, where Young and friends gather for a concert to premiere the album, PRARIE WIND, but the strength of this film is dependent on the success of Prarie Wind as an album, given it is played in it's entirety, and the music falls short of being outstanding, a sort of lesser, "Harvest", with routine Young acoustic melody, sentimental, less than profound lyrics, and war protest songs lacking inspiration and artistry. I'm glad Young is alive and well but Praire Wind is less a wind than a gust of crudely simple ideas and songcraft.

Sound of Gold.......2007-06-26

In the Prologue of Neil Young's beautiful concert DVD, 'Heart of Gold' key players, which are ample, reminisce over the highlights of concerts past. Each musician is alone except interviewer and camera, and the feeling is eager but laid back. Neil Young himself explains that the people he's chosen for this special concert are friends and not merely studio musicians, setting up a feel that Roy Orbison enjoyed for his magnificent 'Black and White Night' DVD. There is the same sense of intimacy, and, while I suspected a retro act, the scope and splendor of the chosen material is great. Although about two or three songs are familiar hits, he breathed real life into this concert at Reiman Auditorium in Nashville where the acoustics resonate with perfection. Besides a great repertoire of songs, his styles draw from country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, blues, and rock. Each song seems so singularly crafted and find Young switching from guitar to harmonica to banjo to piano. Distinctively, he proves to have many friends who back him up with vocals, brass, guitars, fiddles, and, even, a broom. Misguided casual fans like me are immediately struck by the economy of words that come in a stream on this "Prairie Wind" harvest.

More specifically, theme song "Prairie Wind" opens with words "It's a long road behind me...It's a long road ahead of me." Indeed even with his weathered, tan face he sings enraptured in his own music which translates the wisdom of his years. Whether singing about 9/11 ("Falling off the Face of the Earth") or "King, the best hound dog," ("He Was King") he connects in spare language. At one of his intimate moments he shares before "This Old Guitar" how he acquired the worn guitar he uses onstage from Hank Williams. Highlights are for every song, but "When God Made Me" so eloquently scotches any argument for chauvenism or bigotry known to man. In too few words to measure, he bridges the gap to every gender, race, and creed. Alone with his harmonica he adds to the mellow sweetness with "I'm Still in Love with You" and the lovely, wide-eyed "Harvest Moon". Oddly, "Heart of Gold" and "Old Man" seem anti-climatic, but are marvelous nonetheless. His explanation for the latter song is worth checking out. Seven guitars serenade "Four Strong Winds," (which, incidentally, was one of the tracks on Johnny Cash's last C.D.). Neil Young goes out with big brass on "One of These Days," but not without a couple of intimate moments: One is "Needle and the Damage Done," (which despite the movie warning, doesn't doing anything but deter drug use). Then, I believe, it's "The Old Laughing Lady" that finds Neil on stage to an empty auditorium.

There's little to criticize. Jonathan Demme deserves credit for capturing this "golden" event. While I would have preferred more shots of supporting players, no one will argue about the focus of this film, and many fans may find that assessment all wet. The small auditorium and the silent awe for this performance gives the whole affair the intimacy of Orbison in a nightclub setting. This DVD is a must for fans and the uninitiated alike.

Far superior to any previous home-video version, the huge deluxe edition of Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii captures over four hours of footage from the King's historic televised concert from January 1973. The main concert is presented in its entirety for the first time since its original worldwide satellite telecast, and reedited to remove the now-dated split-screen "montage" look. But that's not all--as a prelude to the concert, the first disc includes 17 uncut minutes of the "Elvis arrives" footage (only 2 minutes of which appears in the concert film) followed by the complete rehearsal concert that took place two days before the telecast. This rehearsal, which was released separately on video as The Alternate Aloha Concert, is rougher than the official show, but more relaxed and often more satisfying musically.

Leading off disc 2 is footage of five songs ("Blue Hawaii," "Ku-U-I-Po," "No More," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," and "Early Morning Rain"), including multiple takes, recorded after the performance, four of which ("No More" was the exception) were incorporated into the American television special that was shown a few months after the live telecast. Those four songs are not included in the uncut version of the concert on disc 1, but the original version of the American television special is also on disc 2 so you can watch the concert the way you've always watched it for the sake of nostalgia, or you can compare it to all the other pieces you've seen and decide which you like better. Either way, Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii is an embarrassment of riches that's rivaled only by its companion release, the three-disc deluxe edition of Elvis's '68 Comeback Special. --David Horiuchi

The best Elvis performance. Get leid!.......2007-09-16

The performance is classic with some of the best rockin roll songs. Iconic Elvis. He even busts out the karate moves. My favorite song is Hunka-hunka Burnin Love.

Elvis in Hawaii is great...............2007-09-14

With the 30 year anniversary of Elvis' death recently, I fell back in love with Elvis's music. The Hawaii concert is my favorite. I played in a band in the seventies and performed many of the songs that are on this DVD. It brings back many fond memories. I enjoy Elvis' voice in his later years than earlier. He had an unbelievable voice that has not been matched before or since. A voice rangeing 3 octives is extraordinary. He may have made it shaking and dancing in the 50's but his voice on this DVD in the 70's was much better. He had a great band. You will not regret buying this DVD. I miss him more now than I did 30 years ago.

Elvis was the real deal.......2007-08-24

As a certified 100% Percent Elvis Fan and Graceland visitor I can say with out a doubt. When you see a concert like this I can say ELVIS IS NOT DEAD!! He lives in our hearts. He's the man.

One Of The Most Important Moment of The Music.......2007-08-10

A great show to celebrate the music and the person of a man who bring his own image and the incomparable voice to another degree on the world music... And still hard to believe that Elvis Presley never went to others countries...

About this version, what can I say? It's a really great stuff to collect! On the first disc you will find two shows that happened on Hawaii plus, a short video when Elvis arrived at the Island... On the second disc, another version of the main show but with some changes made by the television broadcast.. All this stuff in a pretty package...

Don't think... You have to buy It!

Elvis Aloha From Hawaii.......2007-04-12

It is a complete package (original TV broadcast version, and unedited version of that same show, and the "dress rehearsal" show that preceded it. Take your choice, they are all here. A must for any Elvis fan.

Spanning two decades and countless light years of interstellar adventure, Star Trek: The Motion Pictures Collection is a testament to the enduring goodwill of Gene Roddenberry's optimistic sci-fi concept. Long before Star Wars sparked an explosion of big-screen science fiction, Roddenberry had planned a second Star Trek TV series; the project fizzled, but its pilot script evolved into the first film in Paramount's most lucrative movie franchise. Despite its sluggish pace and bland "pajama" costuming, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) offered a welcomed reunion of the "Classic Trek" cast, packed with Douglas Trumbull's still-dazzling special effects. Trekkers were even more ecstatic when The Wrath of Khan (1982) revived the spirit of the original series, even though director Nicholas Meyer was a Trek neophyte. With Leonard Nimoy directing, The Search for Spock (1984) began where Khan left off, with a thrilling (albeit contrived) obligation to resurrect the formerly ill-fated Mr. Spock.

A box-office smash, Nimoy's The Voyage Home (1986) is the franchise's most accessible adventure--a high point offset by William Shatner's comparatively dreadful Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989). Meyer (and his penchant for quoting Shakespeare) returned for The Undiscovered Country (1991), a conspiracy thriller that put the series back on track, inspiring fans to invoke the "even number" rule in rating their franchise favorites. Generations (1994) gracefully passed the torch to TV's The Next Generation, bidding farewell to Captain Kirk with honor and integrity intact. Highlighted by the evolving humanity of Brent Spiner's android Lt. Cmdr. Data, First Contact (1996) explored Star Trek history with a logical (hint) surprise encounter, and Insurrection (1998) provided an adequate expansion of the successful NextGen series. Taken as a whole, these ten films demonstrate the consistent vitality of Roddenberry's original vision, stoking any Trekker's appetite for "ongoing missions" in Nemesis and beyond. --Jeff Shannon Most of the feature films were released early in the DVD era, but are represented here in their vastly improved two-disc special editions, which boast widescreen anamorphic pictures, director's cuts of the first two films, numerous commentary tracks by cast and crew, humorous and informative trivia subtitle tracks by Michael and Denise Okuda, and a wide variety of new and vintage documentaries and galleries.

Customer Reviews:

Star Trek Movie Collection.......2007-07-22

The DVDs were without flaw (not always the case for Star Trek disks). As usual - The Voyage Home - & - First Contact - were the best. Paramount could have never made Insurrection and Nemesis and nothing would have been lost. The CGI in the last two are second to none but; the story line is wanting. If it were not for the last two movies I would have rated this collection 5 stars.

This simply irresistible first feature from the Muppets has Kermit the frog going from the swamps to Hollywood to be a star. As he travels and picks up his usual friends (Miss Piggy, Fozzie the Bear), Doc Hopper (Charles Durning) is in pursuit, looking for Kermit to be the spokesman for his frog-leg cuisine. A loose rendition of The Wizard of Oz, the film incorporates the same cagey humor as their breakout syndicated TV series The Muppet Show. This is one of the few times that a human cast (notably Steve Martin, Orson Welles, and Carol Kane) are integrated seamlessly with nonhumans. Worth noting is Paul Williams's score, which includes the Oscar-nominated "The Rainbow Connection." Williams's music, much like Howard Ashman's work on The Little Mermaid and other Disney films, provides more than atmosphere; there's a degree of magic here. Williams did not work on the future Muppet films until A Muppet Christmas Carol. His contributions made these films the best of the Muppet series. --Doug Thomas

Amazon.com

Jim Henson vaulted Kermit, the famous floppy-armed frog, and his Muppet pals to the big screen with this charming 1979 musical adventure. Like the TV show that inspired it, Henson and director James Frawley playfully acknowledge movie clichés and conventions and allow the characters to address the camera in asides, like a Hope and Crosby road film for the 1980s. The ambitious singing frog decides to leave his swamp and conquer Hollywood, gathering a group of friends along the way (Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and more) and bumping into oodles of guest stars making tongue-in-cheek cameos (my favorite is the tip-of-the-hat appearance by Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy). Meanwhile, despicable fast-food king Charles Durning pursues Kermit, hoping to make him the spokesfrog for his Frogs-Legs restaurant franchise. Austin Pendleton costars as Durning's sad sack henchman while guest stars include James Coburn, Dom DeLuise, Madeleine Kahn, Steve Martin, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Carol Kane, Cloris Leachman, Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Telly Savalas, Elliot Gould, Orson Welles, and Big Bird. Paul Williams penned the bouncy, song-filled score. You'll believe a frog can sing! --Sean Axmaker

Childhood favorite........2007-07-31

The Muppet Movie is still the best and most enduring of the Muppet films. I remember watching this movie over and over again as a child and The Muppet Movie still holds up. How can you not love Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo. Special cameos from Milton Berle, Steve Martin and many more. The Muppet Movie is one to add to any media collection, if you have children or still act like one then buy this today. Happy Viewing!

Blast from the Past.......2007-07-28

Growing up in the 1970's, I loved all things Muppet. This was and is such a great movie, with the added bonus of really great music. I got it for my husband, also a 70's kid and movie fan, for Father's Day. It was loads of fun watching it with him and the kids. He was laughing harder than anyone and even remembers a lot of the lines (freak).

It's a heartwarming movie, another great addition to any movie collection.

"Life's like a movie, write your own ending."

The Muppet Movie, the best ever!.......2007-07-23

I really enjoy watching the first real movie the Muppets made.
I love the songs! I love the Muppet actors! I love the bit part star actors!

Ahhhhh Kermie!.......2007-07-06

What can I say? I loved this movie when it came out when I was a kid and I still do! My heart has always belonged to Kermit! I hadn't watched this movie for at least 20 years, so when it arrived I took it right out of the box and watched it. I was pleased to see that it still held up well. The songs were all still very singable and the humor was just what I remembered. And Kermit is just as wonderful as he ever was!

Brings back fond memories.......2007-02-12

Ah, something my children and I can watch together and not drive me insane.

This is the original muppet movie from 1979. I remember seeing it in the theater as a child. My kids like the singing, but get bored with the dialouge. But they are young (18 mo. & 32 mo.), so I am not suprised. I enjoy seeing all the big stars and comedians who took bit parts in this movie.

The only thing I don't like...most kids films with music/singing will have a bonus feature of the music scenes. It's a nice way to see the kids' favorite parts and only takes a few minutes if they want "just one more" show, song, story, etc. This DVD doesn't contain a music scene bonus feature.

Definately worth the money if you are a child from the 70s raising children today.

The three-day Woodstock music festival in 1969 was the pivotal event of the 1960s peace movement, and this landmark concert film is the definitive record of that milestone of rock & roll history. It's more than a chronicle of the hippie movement, however; this is a film of genuine historical and social importance, capturing the spirit of America in transition, when the Vietnam War was at its peak and antiwar protest was fully expressed through the liberating music of the time. With a brilliant crew at his disposal (including a young editor named Martin Scorsese), director Michael Wadleigh worked with over 300 hours of footage to create his original 225-minute director's cut, which was cut by 40 minutes for the film's release in 1970. Eight previously edited segments were restored in 1994, and the original director's cut of Woodstock is now the version most commonly available on videotape and DVD.

The film deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Documentary, and it's still a stunning achievement. Abundant footage taken among the massive crowd ("half a million strong") expresses the human heart of the event, from skinny-dipping hippies to accidental overdoses, to unpredictable weather, midconcert childbirth, and the thoughtful (or just plain rambling) reflections of the festive participants. Then, of course, there is the music--a nonstop parade of rock & roll from the greatest performers of the period, including Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Canned Heat, The Who, Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Ten Years After, Sly & The Family Stone, Santana, and many more. Watching this ambitious film, as the saying goes, is the next best thing to being there--it's a time-travel journey to that once-in-a-lifetime event. --Jeff Shannon

The song is Wooden Ships as recorded by Crosby, Stills, & Nash. The Jefferson Airplane also recorded it. It's on the album Volunteers I believe.

Wonderful event.........2007-09-04

Fantastic DVD.. This really does capture the moment.. The current generation could do with giving this one a view!!

I wonder if anyone could tell me the name of the song that plays on this directors cut 9 mins 45 secs in.. The song plays over the imagery of the stage being set up..

The lyrics start with... If you smile at me.. il understand!!

Thanks in advance

Bad Trip!.......2007-08-29

(which director??) Don't waste your money! Film quality is really bad, audio not much better.I saw the original movie and know they could have done better. Looks like someone recorded it on their cellphone!

amazing footage from a wonderful era in music..............2007-08-26

I was so enthusiastic when I finally had the privilege to see this, the Director's Cut of WOODSTOCK, a loveletter to the famous concert that took place in 1969 at Max Yasgur's 600 acre (2.4 km²) dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. What a generous man Mr. Yasgur was, and what lucky music fans we are, all of these years later, to have the highlights of that concert documented through film footage. All of the great musicians of that time are featured here (and then some). They include Richie Havens, Ravi Shankar, Melanie, Janis Joplin, Carlos Santana, Canned Heat, Janis Joplin, Jo Cocker and Jimi Hendrix. Of course, this concert is synonymous with the incomparable rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" that Hendrix played, perhaps ironically as an ode to war, destruction and social injustice in the wake of war and destruction, with great gusto and expression on his guitar.

What is particularly intriguing and notable, for me, is the distinctive use of "side-by-side" shots to depict set-up and the technical "behind the scenes" aspects of what was involved on the production side of Woodstock, along with footage of the musicians who were featured there. I won't lie to you. There were segments that dragged for me--it may have been the way in which it was shot, or, just that some of the numbers didn't grab me (though, I am sure there are many die hard Woodstock fans who would argue with me to the grave on this one). We also experience (if vicariously) what attendees experienced while at the festival at their height (complete with footage of recreational drug use, nudity, and the bond that grew between those who all came together to be a part of musical history, during three unforgettable days). I definitely reccomend WOODSTOCK because it's an incomparable time capsule and depicts a time in history rich in cultural expression, as well as social unrest.

Review Hits the BullsEye.......2007-08-02

Reviewer Thomas Thatcher is absolutely correct in every aspect of his review. Younger people ask me about that time (I had the long hair, blue jeans, and Dingo boots, etc.)and I set them straight about things as I see them. Referencing the film, one student found "the dialogue and antics of the hippies...." to be corny. This documentary on "Woodstock" is a fascinating cultural artifact but that's about it.

Thirty songs, spread out over two discs and well over two and a half hours, with fine performances, great sound, and good visual direction: it's all here on Farewell 1 Tour, a documentary of the Eagles' 2004 concert in Melbourne, Australia. At one point, the veteran band seemed unlikely to even make it to the new millennium, but here they are, mostly intact, with a string of hits dating back more than three decades. The majority of them are performed here, from the earliest ("Take It Easy," "Desperado," "Peaceful Easy Feeling") through "Hotel California" and "Life in the Fast Lane" and right up to "Love Will Keep Us Alive" (from Hell Freezes Over, their most recent recording with new material on it); there are also hits from Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Joe Walsh's solo careers, and a few new songs as well, including Walsh's "One Day at a Time" (an earnest ode to his new-found sobriety) and "Hole in the World," Frey and Henley's moving, almost gospel-tinged reaction to the events of 9/11/01. Guitarist Don Felder, who split acrimoniously with the band in 2001, isn't much missed, as replacement Steuart Smith plays the parts just as Felder did--i.e., pretty much exactly as they were recorded (indeed, pristine recreations of the studio versions of their songs has always been a hallmark of the Eagles' live shows). As for the somewhat cheeky title, well, there's always been a certain smugness to the Eagles' sense of humor, and it's no different this time, as Frey doesn't even pretend that there won't be a Farewell 2 Tour in the future. And why not? These are good songs, played beautifully by the quartet (plus supplemental musicians) to audiences that love them. Bonus material is limited to perfunctory interviews with the band. --Sam Graham

Description

Without doubt, the Eagles are one of the all-time biggest acts in popular music since the dawn of the rock'n'roll era. The band's roots go back to their role as defining artists in the phenomenally popular Southern California rock scene of the '70s, a decade in which they delivered four consecutive #1 albums. Their momentous 2004 farewell tour filled stadiums around the world, and this 2-DVD set captures one of the most stellar events from that now-historic global sweep. Track Listings: Disc 1: Long Run, New Kid in Town, Wasted Time, Peaceful Easy Feeling, I Can't Tell You Why, One of These Nights, One Day At A Time (New Track), Lyin' Eyes, Boys of Summer, In The City, Already Gone, Tequila Sunrise, Love Will Keep Us Alive, No More Cloudy Days (New Track), Hole In the World, Take It To the Limit, Disc 2: You Belong to the City, Walk Away, Sunset Grill, Life's Been Good, Dirty Laundry, Funk #49, Heartache Tonight, Life in the Fast Lane, Hotel California, Rocky Mountain Way, All She Wants To Do Is Dance, Take It Easy, Desperado

Great music.......2007-09-09

I had great seats at the tour when it came back to America and the show is just as I remember it. The musicianship is great as always, and the video does a good job of putting you in the theater with the group. Almost every song from the Eagles you would expect is here along with solo hits and Joe Walsh is terrific. A must buy!

Induces chills & great memories.......2007-09-01

I can't add much to what everybody else has said. Beautifully performed and recorded. You can't find a better DTS sound-track. I wish that Don Felder had never left the band, but new (session?) guitarist Stuart Smith has got Don's licks down perfectly. It is also cool to see Al Garth is still at it on sex[sax] and violence[violins]. Now, if Jackson Browne would put out a concert DVD with a full band including David Lindley and Little Feat would release a DVD of "Waiting for Columbus", I can die happily in my recliner.

FRICKIN' GOOD!.......2007-08-29

These guys are so frickin' good! Hundreds of years from now, people are still going to be saying the same thing! Heck, even martians in other galaxies are going to be saying it!

Great Entertainment - Great Music!!!.......2007-08-23

This is an outstanding music video - it has all of their hits and has you singing along.....highly recommended!

If you can't go to an Eagles concert, watch this DVD!.......2007-08-02

This is probably one of the BEST concert DVDs I have had the pleasure of watching.

I have been an Eagles fan for a long time and, unfortunately, have NEVER seen them live. This DVD, filmed in Melbourne, Australia, is the next best thing to being there.

The sound and picture quality are both excellent. Each member of the band, including the horn section and backup players, had their moment to shine.

Now for the Eagles themselves. Those guys have only gotten BETTER with age. Their harmonies are just about the most perfect I have ever heard. Each one of them gets to sing lead and do some of their solo works (Henley's "Boys of Summer" is fantastic). Joe Walsh, the court jester of rock and roll, seems to be having the time of his life and brings a refreshing amount of comic relief to the band without overdoing it. It's obvious that these guys have long since gotten over their differences and now enjoy a level of chemistry that is far beyond what they had ever had in the past.

The concert is full-length and sports some pretty good extras featuring back stage moments and interviews with the band.

Of particular note is the NEW Frey-penned song "No More Cloudy Days". What a great song! Hopefully, it will be on the next Eagles album (when the heck is it being released already?????).

Eagles fans will not be disappointed.

WELL worth the money!

Rodney Carrington is the funniest comedian I have ever seen. He's not only a stand up but a great singer as well. This DVD is a must for all who need a good laugh, but have an open mind cause it is a little rude but not crude. We laughed that hard that our stomachs hurt and had to have a break half way through. A fantastic purchase and we have watched it over and over!

A cool redneck.......2007-09-09

This guy is not like Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable guy or Bill Engval. One thing he does very catchy songs that can stay stoke in your head for days. The first half or so is just regular stand up and basically stories of things that had happened to him. The big jokes are the songs and trust me many of you will very patriotic when you hear them and SEE them. Plus you appeaciate bobbies even better then before Hahaha.

Product Description

In this exclusive 83 minute DVD premiere, featuring brand new, never before seen content, Stewie, the maniacal baby genius, is distracted from his plans for world domination when he sees a man who looks just like him on television. Convinced that this man must be his real father (after all, how could he possibly share genetic material with the dimwitted Peter?), Stewie sets off on a cross-country road trip to find him. But his incredible journey leads him to discoveries far more vile and shocking that anything found in his diaper.

For Family Guy fans, there are no freakin' sweeter words than "Never Before Seen." A triumphant homecoming for the Griffins, Stewie Griffin is not so much a movie as it is a not-yet-aired three-episode story arc enhanced with a home-video-exclusive "red carpet premiere" prologue and an epilogue (capped, of course, with a fart joke). Family Guy's resurrection is a television miracle, and its creators have rewarded the faithful by picking up right where they left off, offending any and all sensibilities (recasting Jesus as comic magician Art Metrano), dissing the celebrity disenfranchised (Ellen Cleghorne references, anyone?), and generally taking potshots at anyone on their enemies list (Stewie breaks the neck of a reporter for Entertainment Weekly, the magazine that once called Family Guy "the Awful Show They Just Keep Putting on the Air"). The Untold Story! is a star vehicle for Family Guy 's breakout character, in which the mega maniacal and matricidal infant has a Grinch-like change of heart after a near-death experience (and a disturbing encounter with Steve Allen in Hell) and, more life-altering, discovers a football-pated man who could be his father (the truth is more shocking!). As go the gags, so goes Family Guy, and there are enough good ones here to compensate for the many misfires. The Miller-esque (as in Dennis) penchant for channeling arcane pop culture can grow tiresome. But for those who do remember the words to the Who's the Boss theme song, know (or still care) who Steve Bartman is, and are always up for "a sexy party," this will be the greatest story ever untold. --Donald Liebenson

Unfortunately..........2007-08-15

It is 3 episodes put together faking to be like a movie, but anyways, i thought it was good, but I didn't like once it came in the mail, the cover was different from the picture on here. I wanted the one with Stewie griffin, half his face showing and him saying "NEVER BEFORE SEEN!" but instead I got a boring black cover with the griffin family on it.

For the movie itself, it was funny and awesome, family guy-must see!
i was just disappointed in the cover art and how that picture lied to us all.

Um, yeah..not so much.......2007-07-30

I am a rabid Family Guy fan. I was just like you guys staying up late at night watching Adult Swim watching re-runs and laughing at each joke as if they were new. When I heard the movie was coming come I was one of the first to order. I was completely excited, told all my friends. The movie finally came.

But then I put the DVD in.

Um, yeah..not so much. It was such a disappointment. It's like having two bad Family Guy episodes pasted together, and badly. I couldn't recommend it to anyone, but if you are a rabid fan you already have it anyway.

one of the worst movies ever........2007-07-25

A full length Family Guy movie might sound like a good idea, and definitely a good financial move, considering how popular(and overrated imo) Family Guy is nowadays. But when I saw the results of this idea, I completely realized that Family Guy is not a show to make a feature film out of. Aqua Teen Hunger Force even worked better as a movie than Family Guy did. The whole thing is just 3 modern episodes tied together. And if you read my other Family Guy review, you'd know that I'm not a fan of alot of recent Family guy episodes. And many of the great flaws and negativities of recent episodes are all present in this movie. And even worse, I did not laugh even once throughout the whole movie. I laugh occasionally in every new family guy episode, but not once in this whole movie did I laugh.

I got fooled. Content new at release time, but is a 'rerun' now.......2007-07-10

I am glad this was paid for by a gift certificate. That way I don't feel as foolish for spending money on something that has been shown on TV. This was released during a time when no new Family Guy was being shown on TV. Once it returned to TV, these episodes were aired.

Buy this if you like to 'own' what you see on TV.

I must admit, it is fun to watch them with the 'adult' language soundtrack. Cartoons that swear are worth a giggle. Don't worry, they do not swear a lot.

This movie is hilarious its like as funny as the show itself like stewie goes back into time and sees he becomes a 35 year old virgin because he tried to kill a little boy by the swimming pool that 1 day.
