It captures 1968 London in a way no present day documentary can.Highlights include Jethro Tull, yes, Jethro Tull, doing a wonderful rockin' blues tune.

Customer Review: 5 out of 5 stars MIKE FEENEY CALLAN, April4, 2000: APOLITICAL ECSTASY! So much that has been written and produced about Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys over the last ten years has been soured -- the divisive strife of the band's internal politics and the partisanship of cloth-eared journalists that it is a mighty, warm wave of relief to find John Anderson and Maggie...Read more

Customer Review: 4 out of 5 stars rubind@spiritone.com , August 26, 1999: A Big Fat Disappointment After all the hoopla, I was let down. The tape starts promisingly enough, with a fantastic version of "Hello Bluebird" completely on par with her film version of the same.Her synergy with her two co-stars is quite nice to watch, spontaneous and relaxed and genuine, unlike the totally weird...Read more

Customer Review: 4.5 out of 5 stars From Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide: In this tuneful star vehicle (though the score's hardly memorable), Angela finds herself stranded in 1910 Manhattan when her sleigh is downed -- a wind current while she is checking out a new round-the-world night-before-Xmas route for hubby.

Customer Review: 5 out of 5 stars A reviewer, April 29, 1999: Nostalgic, Garland at her singing best! Garland gives probably her best TV concert appearance ever. She is in great voice and showmanship. Her magnetic stage personality is a wonder to behold. This patriotic revue of songs is evocative of the early 1960s and was taped as a tribute to the slain JFK. One of TV's finest musical moments,...Read more

I remember now why I went right out, got a guitar, and grew my hair long after first seeing these in 1964. Includes the original commercials and...Read more

Customer Review: 4 out of 5 stars Rob Galbraith, March 28, 2000: Hullabaloo Volume 9 I admit it, I bought this video mainly to see The Supremes and was pleasantly wowed -- the rest of the show too. It felt less like a show than a party where the audience is invited to watch. The Supremes feature prominently singing three songs at least (Back In My Arms Again, You're Nobody Till...Read more

This video is a must-have for fans of early Roxy Music. Eno is rarely seen in footage, but appears in full glam glory in this Musikladen concert. The filming was probably...Read more

Customer Review: 4 out of 5 stars Rob Galbraith, May5, 2000: Groovin' With Pop Royalty Let's start with the negatives. This vid is too damn short. A half-an hour doesn't do justice to the title Groovy Gals. Where are the Marvellettes? Where is Brenda Holloway? Second, because the acts are taken from different shows, Groovy Gals has no flow and a chopped quality that is only made worse...Read more

Being born in '66, the Shindig! video series was something of a revelation to me; rock'n'roll is supposed to be fun!

Customer Review: 3 out of 5 stars A reviewer, September 26, 1999: A young person's guide to some of the best of the 70s bands. This is my second review of the same tape. The first copy that I purchased, the sound quality was terrible. The producers of this tape sent me a new one, and I sent them back the bad copy. I retract all my statements from above except that my choice for Jethro Tull would have been something a little...Read more

Customer Review: 5 out of 5 stars Marcos A. Ramos, January 24, 2000: The Voice of the Century! This fascinating video preserves for posterity the voice and art of Joan Sutherland in her prime. In 1963, Sutherland is just dazzling with her flexible passagework, luminous high notes (up to E flat on this video) and her perfect trill, perhaps the best of any singer. Sutherland graces with her...Read more

Customer Review: 3 out of 5 stars David Blake, December 31, 1999: Lgends of Rock 'n Roll . . . . .maybe Although this 30 minute tape bears the title "Legends of Rock'n'Roll", remember it features extracts from "Shindig!" - which didn't telecast until 1964. For me, rock'n'roll died with Buddy Holly and with Elvis' entry into the Army. (Perhaps you disagree.) Anyway, those Fifties...Read more
