DVD Reviews of Lennon Legend - The Very Best of John Lennon (Jewel Case)
DVD Review: (WITH THIS) THERE'S NO PROBLEM, ONLY SOLUTIONS
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great DVD featuring the solo efforts of John Lennon, who was the first half of the creative force of the greatest pop and rock group of all time, The Beatles. The videos are good, and the music is great. The essence of Lennon is well encapsulated in this release.
The sound quality is superb, especially in either Dolby or DTS 5.1. Each track sounds better now than when it was dominating the airwaves, especially when FM radio was a novelty. Great care and mastering of this newly packaged arrangement are prevalent from start to finish.
In sum, Lennon Legend-The Very Best of John Lennon is a reintroduction of the talented artistry of the former Beatle to longtime, perhaps even erstwhile, fans who will likely develop a whole new appreciation of an entertainer whose life was cut way too short. The music contained is a testament of such great quality showmanship and philosophical depth that Lennon, over a quarter century after his demise, is winning and inspiring generations of new fans.
Thanks for the memories, Mr. Lennon.
DVD Review: Where Are the Original Lennon Videos?
Summary: 3 Stars
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" This uneven DVD compilation replaces the original John Lennon videos of "Stand By Me," "Cold Turkey," "Nobody Told Me," "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and "Give Peace a Chance" with disappointing revisions. Fortunately, the "Imagine," "Woman," "Mind Games" and "Instant Karma" clips remain unscathed. The special features are a welcome addition - particularly John's final live performance in 1975. However, the overall collection represents a mixed bag for Lennon scholars, who deserve to see the original music videos as nature intended.DVD Review: Power to the people, happy Xmas, and don't stumble on the way out !
Summary: 5 Stars
Between the music, the videos, and the special features this really is a GREAT DVD. We get to hear twenty of John's best with images to accompany. I personally enjoy best the videos such as Instant Karma!, Give Peace a Chance, Stand By Me and Cold Turkey where you get to see at least some footage of John performing the song in question ( Instant Karma! being a personal favorite.) But there are great videos beyond that: Whatever Gets You Thru the Night features wonderfully zany cartoon imagery, while Power to the People shows all around brilliance with a righteous political edge ( if you're a rightest, well you probably don't like Lennon anyway.) Nobody Told Me and Borrowed Time are fun videos while Watching the Wheels and Beautiful Boy sport endlessley fascinating home movies. All these videos are outstanding in one way or another with Mother probably my least favorite, just for overall appeal. Jealous Guy is also visually entrancing, while Happy Xmas is powerful beyond meaningful words. We see death, pain, loss, injury and tragedy before our eyes; the sounds of drums play over firing shotguns, this is harrowing stuff. The first time through I thought I might not be able to watch it again, but I now I love it and feel it goes brilliantly with the feel of the song. That's the videos, and the DVD would have been four stars... but the Old Gray Whistle Test 'Slipin' and Slidn' video is here! This song was a favorite of mine for years and I longed to see a full video for it... for this addition alone the DVD receives five stars! Other than that the DVD is all-around great! 5/5 Oh and for anti-Yoko fanatics... Instant Karma's gonna getcha! DVD Review: Lennon's music videos
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought these were going to be music videos, like what you see on MTV. A few were but most of them were like watching home movies, family snapshots, etc, with the music as a background. After a few videos, you notice the same snapshots, clips of the same home movies, not what I expected.DVD Review: AWESOME
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS A MUST-HAVE FOR ANY JOHN LENNON FAN. THE MUSIC IS HIS BEST WORK EVER (OF COURSE ALL OF HIS WORK IS A MASTERPIECE), AND YOU CAN LITTERALLY FEEL THE SPIRITUAL CONNECTION AND THE CHEMESTRY THAT EXISTS BETWEEN HE AND YOKO. SHE IS THE INSPIRATION FOR NEARLY ALL OF THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD SHOULD BE SO LUCKY TO HAVE A LOVE LIKE THAT, JUST ONCE IN THEIR LIFE. AFTER WATCHING IT, THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ANGRY ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP, SHOULD FINALLY "GET IT" (A CLUE THAT IS).
I MISS YOU JOHN LENNON!! THE WHOLE WORLD MISSES YOU!
P.S. FANS WILL ALSO ENJOY THE DVD "IMAGINE"
Description of Lennon Legend - The Very Best of John Lennon (Jewel Case)
The late John Lennon's life and work are plainly visible in this stirring collection of short films and music videos, some very familiar while others, produced posthumously, will be new to many viewers. The set includes the classic "Imagine" clip, which begins with a haunting scene of John and Yoko walking through an early morning fog and concludes with Lennon's performance in an all-white room. More rare is a Top of the Pops live performance of "Instant Karma" and a wonderful film accompanying "Mind Games," in which a solo Lennon clowns around Central Park, thrilling passersby, playing with kids, and dancing. "Woman" is a montage of the last days and hours of Lennon's life, while "Watching the Wheels" is a compilation of home movie footage from the star's semi-reclusive Dakota years. Extras include a live "Slippin' and Slidin'," and a startling bit of "Julia" absentmindedly picked on guitar. --Tom KeoghRock Music CDs
