DVD Reviews of Have You Heard - Jim Croce Live

DVD Review: A Nice Tribute
Summary: 4 Stars

Jim Croce was my idol. I learned fingerstyle guitar listening to his album "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" over 30 years ago. When I heard the news of his death I was devestated. I was like Don McLean in American Pie when he talked about the day the music died, referring to Buddy Holly's plane crash. I had all of Jim's albums, including the one with Ingrid. I knew all of his songs. I made it a point to watch every time he was on TV (Midnight Special, Tonight Show, Helen Reddy Show, In Concert ... ) After he died I discovered that he had performed 100 miles away from where I lived the night before the crash. I've been kicking myself ever since because I never got to see him perform live. Now 30 years later, thanks to Ingrid and A.J., I am able to watch Jim and Maury perform some of their hits in remarkably high quality video on this new DVD. In addition I have learned much about Jim's background from the interviews with Ingrid, Randy Matthews, Loggins & Messina, and A.J. For example, I never knew that Jim and Cheech Marin were planning on making a movie together. That would have been great.

The audio and video are surprisingly good considering that they are from the early 70s. Numerous photos and home movie clips are worked into the video with voiceovers by Ingrid and A.J. to add context. One track that I really enjoyed presented Jim (sans mustache) and Ingrid doing one of their songs (Spin, Spin, Spin) in a TV taping from the late 60s. A.J. tends to ramble a bit in his narration over the special feature videos. Also, I would have enjoyed seeing a short segment with Ingrid and A.J. as they look today. You never see their faces on the DVD.

Being a big Croce fan, there are things I remember that weren't included in this DVD. Cashman & West (Jim's college friends who helped him get his recording deal with ABC) did an interview after Jim died where they recalled their days with him. Jim was turned down by numerous labels because he sounded too much like James Taylor (another great example of how the recording industry is full of morons). Then there was the intro (I think it was on the Midnight Special) where Jim introduced Speedball Tucker by telling a story of pulling his rig into a truck stop and trying to look cool by leaning up against it after he got out, only to burn his hand on the white hot chrome muffler. These would have been great additions. Maybe in a future version some of these additions can be included. In the meantime I can't imagine any true Jim Croce fan passing this one up.

Description of Have You Heard - Jim Croce Live

When Jim Croce died tragically in a plane crash on Sept. 20, 1973, he was just 30 years old and had recently been recognized as one of the most promising artists of his era. In a two-year span, he had eight Top 40 singles, two of which were #1 records and a #1 album. Despite being one of America?s most-loved artists, there has never been a video document of his career. Until now.

Have You Heard: Jim Croce Live, features the late singer-songwriter?s performances on television in the early 1970?s. Set in an intimate style akin to today?s popular Unplugged series, the DVD includes performances of such classic Croce songs as "You Don?t Mess Around With Jim," "Operator (That?s Not The Way It Feels)," "Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown," many not seen since they were originally broadcast.

Jim Croce?s widow, Ingrid, and their son A.J., provide special narration, filled with intimate anecdotes and stirring memories of their lives.
