DVD Reviews of Classic Albums: The Band - The Band

DVD Review: Blah Blah Blah.......
Summary: 1 Stars

Good God, was this boring! I couldn't even finish watching it before I tossed it. I usually enjoy reading or hearing how artists create, it fascinates me. And I love The Band that used to be. But this was boring as heck. Sorry, Robbie. Sorry, Levon.

DVD Review: Interesting for fans of The Band
Summary: 3 Stars

It's too bad that Levon and Robbie couldn't be interviewed together for this DVD. This is a reminder of the unfortunate rift between these two.
If you are a fan of The Band, you would find the information interesting.

DVD Review: Americana on Video: its almost at its best
Summary: 4 Stars

Anyone out there who is a huge fan of American music has to get this video. It allows viewers to glimpse into a time not to distant from the Beat poets, and see how artistic striving, and good feeling worked itself into something unique and and fervently American. Even though most of the members are Canadian, they capture the American spirit of Rock-n-Roll and change in a way most groups were incapable of doing. Check it out and then buy "What happened to Kerouac".

DVD Review: One of the very best.....
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the very best "rockumentaries" ever! I loved the whole thing, especially the interviews....especially the ones with the ultra-talented producer/singer/song writer/pianist John Simon-my friend. You might consider checking out John's own recordings.

DVD Review: DVD review
Summary: 4 Stars

Very good comprehensive review on The Band. Gives good insight into the individual members and why some of their songs were written. A good addition to my collection.

Description of Classic Albums: The Band - The Band

Comprised of Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson, The Band's self-titled sophomore effort spent 24 weeks in the Billboard Top 40. The album was released at a time when the US album charts were taken over by the psychedelic rock movement, and despite this, the album had the aforementioned chart success and would go on to sell over one million copies. This edition of the "Classic Albums" series focuses on The Band's follow-up to "MUSIC FROM BIG PINK". Featuring classics such as "Up On Cripple Creek", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", and "Rag Mama Rag", the story of the album is told through interviews with surviving members of The Band, fellow musicians Eric Clapton, Don Was, and George Harrison, and vintage footage. The Band is a classic album!
