Fresh from his gold medal victory at the Olympic Games, 18-year-old Cassius Clay is ready to seek the heavyweight championship. Under the masterful guidance of trainer Angelo Dundee (Ernest Borgnine). Clay snatches the title from Sonny Liston. Soon afterward, Clay converts to the Islam religion and changes his name to Muhammad Ali. When he is suddenly classified 1A by the Draft Board that earlier rejected him, Ali refuses the draft on religious grounds. His hard-won title is taken from him. Winning a three-and-a-half year long court battle. Ali returns to the ring for what have been some of the greatest fights of all time.

You wouldn't think a movie that uses the game of golf as a metaphor for class struggle could be so entertaining. The Greatest Game Ever Played stars the charming Shia LaBeouf (Holes) as Francis Ouimet, a golfer who, in 1913, rose from caddy to U.S. Open champion at the age of 20--despite the resistance of the powers that be, who thought it unseemly for a lower-class plebian to play the sport of gentlemen. Ouimet's main competitor is Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane, The Hours), a British professional, still considered one of the greatest players of all time, who fought his own class battles. The two go head to head in a genuinely gripping match, deftly balanced against the juxtapositions of their personal struggles. Is it sentimental and formulaic? Is the outcome a foregone conclusion? Yes, but it doesn't matter--formulas exist because, when executed with verve and dexterity, they work. Bill Paxton, best known as an actor (One False Move, Apollo 13), steps into the director's chair and hits all the right notes, aided by an excellent cast playing colorful characters, a vivid recreation of the time period, glowing cinematography, and an expert pace. The Greatest Game Ever Played works. --Bret Fetzer

Description

From Walt Disney Pictures comes THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED . . . the crowd-pleasing underdog epic that's based on an inspirational true story! Young amateur golfer Francis Ouimet (Shia LaBeouf -- HOLES, I ROBOT) has nothing but talent and a seemingly impossible dream to challenge the world's greatest player, his idol Harry Vardon. Soon, with the help of his spunky 10-year-old caddy Eddie, Francis boldly breaks down all barriers with a thrilling display of unrivaled drive, skill, and heart . . . and challenges the golf pro for the U.S. Open Championship!

3 out of 5 stars Somewhat Boring Family Movie.......2007-06-26

The Greatest Game Ever Played is a decent family movie that is extremely predictable and has a feel good ending. It had a good history of the U.S. Open and being a golf fan I learned some things about the sport's history.

I was bothered by the fact that I could constantly predict what would happen and was waiting for that warm fuzzy feeling that I received in a similar genre like Remember The Titans or A league of Their Own. It was not what I would consider a sports classic but I am sure that kids will enjoy watching the young man beat up on the older folks in the tournament. The story has the usual theme of one parent not believing in the child while the other is a great supporter until the end. The acting just wasn't believable.

I wouldn't highly recommend the movie but I guess if there is nothing else to watch then it is a decent choice

5 out of 5 stars If you "Don't love" golf this is for you.......2007-06-25

Whether you love golf or do not love golf, this movie is a classic.
This movie is the perfect gift for anyone from 8 to 88.
The theme is wonderful.
The photography is wonderful.
The acting is wonderful.
The whole family will love this movie - I Guarantee!

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Game Ever Played.......2007-06-11

A truly inspiring movie...I want to become a golfer now!

5 out of 5 stars Gentleman's Game.......2007-06-09

Epitome of the nature of the game - sportsmanship. Gentle movie dealing with the competition between two lowly-born men who were true gentlemen. I love this movie as I love the game.

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Game Ever Played.......2007-05-24

This is a great family movie about a little piece of ground breaking golf history. It is a true story about a young caddy who wins the U.S. Open in the early 1900's, and it is such and interesting story that it would appeal to both old and young viewers. My family watches this movie every time it's on so we bought it. We also bought the book that it is based on.

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

4 out of 5 stars Great concert.......2007-06-05

Pop this baby in your DVD player and turn on the DTS. This is a great concert all around, these guys can still play and sing. Watch for many of their classic songs such as New Kid In Town and Desperado, as well as some new ones.

The real treat though is the sound, the harmonies are crisp, and the music is very clear. Bring on Farewell II!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-05-21

In my opinion, the Eagles are the best band ever, and these DVDs are incredible. Well worth the money. Wish I could have been at the concert.

5 out of 5 stars Lets hope this is the first of MANY farewells yet..........2007-05-15

A fabulous documentation of The Eagles much heralded Farewell I Tour of 2003, from the performance in Melbourne, Australia, the generous 2 Disc set includes a great amount of Eagle classics and favourites, 2 exceptional new tracks from their upcoming 2007 studio album, and a thrilling assortment of the best of each respective member's solo work from the 70s-90s. The Eagles are in fine vocal form, showcasing the famous four-part harmonies that graced some of their best recordings. The performances, instrumentally, are extremely impressive, and the extra muscle of the newly added four-man brass section adds an amazing new flavor to the group's classic sound. The picture and audio quality are all first rate, and one can only hope that this is a first in a long series of live sets available in the next decade of Eagle music.

5 out of 5 stars A farewell tour that says a forever "hello"! .......2007-05-13

Ease back and get comfortable. This is going to blow you right out of your doldrums and into a new attitude for life, love, and music. This is a consummate piece of music that will fill your whole being. Fun, Fantastic, and Forever music by the Eagles. Their whole jive is a gift to all of us. From their oldest classics of the 1972 vintage right up to their newest release, this is a tribute to all of us. We can share their music, their souls, and their gifted talents with harmony of mind, spirit, and heart. I can only give the most heartedly recommendation of this release to your music collection. It is pure. It is like having the first taste of mountain spring water after a walk in the desert of sound.. this is music. Clean, clear, and a passage to places only your heart can lead you. Buy it. Best thing you can do!

5 out of 5 stars One of the greatest rock bands now on HD DVD........2007-06-28

The Eagles are one of my favorite rock bands. I was never fortunate enough to enjoy their music in person but this HD DVD brings me pretty close to that experience. I was tempted to get the DVD version some months ago but glad I held out. The classics are all here - Tequila Sunrise, Love Will Keep Us Alive, You Belong To The City, Dirty Laundry, Hotel California, Desperado, etc. The Audio/Video recording is superb and the Menu organizes the songs/chapters very well. This has got to be one of the best concert HD DVDs out there. A perfect way to show off your home theater.

4 out of 5 stars The Eagles Are Better Than Ever.......2007-05-31

An excellent concert & to be enjoyed in HD is another plus. The Eagles actually seem better in their old age now. It must be maturity. Although, the HD DVD did not have camera angle shots as an added bonus, it was still produced well & is an excellent item for the DVD library.

1 out of 5 stars Did not work.......2007-05-15

I bought this specifcally because it said HD DVD. It was a gift for my mother and she owns a HD dvd player. It not only did not work in the HD DVD but on none of the other 5 DVD players we tried.

5 out of 5 stars ABOVE AND BEYOND HELL FREzZES OVER!.......2007-05-14

After watching and listening to " Hell frezzes over" the standard in audio-video, concert watching and superstars jamming has been changed forever.
You know what I am talking about...however with the "Farewell tour" is just keep rising the bar...how high can it go?
Well the eagles have been rising even higher. Their wings have no knowledge of getting tired...they can push higher and higher...
On the recording part (audio and video) the HD shines in every aspect.
Boy I love HD! And of course I love Eagles! Nice symbiosis between the two!

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-14

We were not Eagles fans when they (and we) were younger, but after listening to this concert many times we definitely are now! It's 2 hours and 40 minutes long and they sound great on every song. Both the audio and the video are fantastic.

I bout this because I don't have cable and is a bad product because is a advertisement for people that have cable. THEY SHOULD worn people what it really is!

3 out of 5 stars Lorraine's review of Larry King's DVD Set.......2007-06-12

Although I like Larry King and his style of interviewing guests I was disappointed that this set of DVDs jumps from one person to another and then back again instead of showing the whole interview in its entirety. What I saw on TV as an advertisement is exactly how the DVD is so I guess I got what they portrayed, except that I thought that the TV ad was snippets of the DVD and not the actual DVD.

2 out of 5 stars No scene selection.......2007-06-09

I gave this two stars because it was released at all. I think atleast ONE full episode maybe of the first episode in 1985 should have been included. Let alone, i should have been able to choose what interviews i wanted to see, you cant even skip chapters to various interviews without missing tons! I was very disappointed with this DVD and returned it.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful trip down Memory Lane.......2007-05-15

I have always liked larry King but to sitback & to watch this D V D is to realize a couple of things one that I am not as young as used to be but more importantly I realize how much I have experianced in my Life.

I would truly invite & encourage people to pick this up as it is a great way to relive History with the younger members of there family.

5 out of 5 stars great collection.......2007-04-28

people have always dogged larry for being a softball interviewer. I think he allows subjects to make or break themselves via their own words and actions. It beats watching the shoutfests masking themselves as 'tough' interviews these days.
You either like Larry or you don't. If you like the show, or have watched it through the years, you'll love this DVD set. It really is outstanding. If you don't like larry, which is apparent from some of the previous posts, then why on earth buy the DVD?

I highly recommend this DVD as a gift for the news conscience television/dvd viewer.

Amazon.com essential video

The long-defunct, Southern California band regrouped for an album, an expensive tour (expensive for ticket buyers, that is), and this televised special, which features the Eagles in performance. Laid-back but sharp and even stirring during a longish acoustic set, the guys quickly get past the nostalgia element and sound truly viable. They even make it look easy: the sight of Joe Walsh wearing glasses and sitting in almost perfect repose as he effortlessly colors old hits "Tequila Sunrise" and new material such as "Learn to Be Still" may make you wonder why you ever stashed that guitar in the attic. But the band eventually gets off their stools and rocks out on "Hotel California" and other Eagles standards. All in all, it's an enjoyable and mellowing show. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars And here's how it all started..........2007-07-03

This DVD has been rented from my local public library many times within my family so I finally decided to just go buy it!

This show is quite something especially when you consider it was made in '94. The Eagles were a solid group before and as Joe Walsh brings out, they still "show they can rock" on this DVD. There are multiple audio selections and the visuals are all very appropriate. The camera angles allow you to see much of the group throughout and you never really miss seeing the solos. That's something I particularly enjoy after seeing a lot of recorded shows where the camera switches to the drummer when the guitar player is noodling, or vica versa.

All around I give this DVD five stars because of how truly clean, entertaining, and even relaxing it is. If I were to relate the quality of this to any other DVD I own it would be to the Diana Krall: Live in Paris DVD.

5 out of 5 stars Quality of Sound.......2007-05-31

Enough people have reviewed about the album and hence I will stick to the quality of sound. I brought this DVD as a reference DVD for my music setup comprising of Klipsch speakers, HK 635 amp linked using Monster THX cables/inter-connects mostly brought from Amazon. The quality of music listening to the DTS is amazing and really make you proud about your investment on hardware. As is being reviewed by hifi buffs, I almost started listening to each and every instruments separately and this is where the danger starts. Music is supposed to be listened to as one, when you have more and more expensive music systems, you will end up listening to some un-heard sound, missing the song. There should be a limit to the "separateness" needed for people who loves Music and I think I have almost crossed that limit with my set up.

5 out of 5 stars The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over.......2007-05-07

One of the best concert videos of all time, wish I had been there!

5 out of 5 stars One to own!.......2007-03-14

I'll keep it brief as the benefits of this now classic performance have been well stated in other reviews. All I can say is if you like the Eagles music you'll love this dvd. And.. if you have a decent audio set up, it'll blow your mind! Beware the 'Farewell Tour' dvd new release. It's not bad but you WILL be dissapointed by the sound especially and the performances after the 'Freezes Over' experience.

5 out of 5 stars This Reunion was Awesome.......2007-03-12

After almost thirty some odd years of being a die hard Fan,this concert rejuvenated My Well Being, and Soul. One could see and feel the utmost spiritual aura that came forth from all the band members fingers and voices, as they played their instruments and sang in such beautiful harmony.
I became totally mesmermized in viewing and listening to them on this musical DVD in front of my entertainment center. An uplifting,emotional and a very much enjoyed,production of Famous Musicians
that I will continue to view and listen to for many years to come!!

Classic cartoon fans will delight in the bevy of classic Tom and Jerry animated shorts, each of which ends in the proclamation "Made in Hollywood, U.S.A.," and most of which are from the '40s. Fifteen episodes (totaling more than an hour) are featured. Included are: "The Cat Concerto," "Johann Mouse," "The Little Orphan," "Yankee Doodle Mouse," "Salt Water Tabby," "Tee for Two," "Solid Serenade," "Zoot Cat," "Johann Mouse," "Dr. Jekyll" and Mr. Mouse," "Mouse in Manhattan," "Kitty Foiled," "The Little Orphan," and "Jerry's Diary." It might surprise more mature viewers, with fond recollections of the adventures of the gray cat and the little mouse, how relentlessly violent (albeit cartoon violence) the 'toons are. This video, a collection of chase-centric films, is notably chock full of head bangin', body bashing, poisoning, and all-around disorder.

The absolute highlight are two shorts low on smashin' and high on entertainment: "The Cat Concerto" and "Mouse in Manhattan," the first with Tom as the focus and the second with Jerry. They both involve forays into entertainment, a great soundtrack, and a fun story. The DVD edition adds "The Worry Song" from Anchors Aweigh, the classic showcase of the amazing (and oft-copied) duet of animation and live action, as Jerry dances with the wonderful Gene Kelly. Contrasted with the PC content of today's 'toons, Tom and Jerry is a literal blast from the past--a must for collectors, and for parents comfortable with explaining that Tom isn't really burned to ashes, and Jerry hasn't been beheaded. --N.F. Mendoza

5 out of 5 stars Ahh the good ol' days of TV.......2007-06-19

I got this for my son who is 4 and it takes me back to watching them when I was around his age. Great quality, great Tom & Jerry choices.

5 out of 5 stars YEAH! Classic T&J takes me back to when I was 5.......2007-06-17


Wow..nothing says 1940 like a good Tom and Jerry cartoon! This DVD is worth every penny. Don't steal it from the internet...purchase it here and do the right thing. These episodes are classic and took me back to my childhood. I had not seen some of these since I was very little and it was fun to explore the animation of the day. The animators from back then really had ability that has since been long lost.

get this DVD. it's worth it!

4 out of 5 stars Great DVD for the price.......2007-06-08

My son is 4 years old and absolutely loves this DVD. He first saw Tom and Jerry on our local cable TV but it only comes on Saturday mornings, so this was a great DVD for him. It has so many short episodes it keeps his attention, especially in the car on long trips. Well worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars A mean,stupid cat and a sweet,lovable mouse.......2007-03-15

If you're a fan of MGM theatrical cartoons,this item is for you. Tom and Jerry has audiences,young and old,cracking up with their hilarious hijinks. Tom meets a pretty girl cat on the beach in SALT WATER TABBY. Jerry takes interest in the girl cat. The same girl cat is seen in SOLID SERENADE. Tom musically woos her via bass fiddle,disturbing Jerry's sleep. Jerry is automatically bounced out of bed on his face and stomach and the rhythm of the bass keeps bouncing Jerry. Tom impresses another female cat(not a glamourous one,though) wearing a "zoot suit" in THE ZOOT CAT. The usually totally silent Jerry speaks one line in the cartoon,"What's cooking,toots?". Tom spoke in the cartoon also,a little more than Jerry. Tom's suit shrinks to the point where it now fits Jerry! Jerry is off to Manhattan in MOUSE IN MANHATTAN,only to be met with disappointment. Jerry was used to apply shoe polish(he ends up in blackface,a scene never seen on some TV stations including Cartoon Network). He even felt light friction of the heavy New York City traffic. So,he's back home with Tom and again in his hole in the wall. TEE FOR TWO features a lawnmower-shorn Tom and his bee-stung mouth(courtesy of angry,intimidated bees). THE YANKEE DOODLE MOUSE was excellent. If I'm not mistaking,it was at least an Academy Award nominee. Tom is a concert pianist in the Oscar-winning THE CAT CONCERTO. Jerry is asleep inside the grand piano Tom is playing on stage and the striking hammers inside awake Jerry. Jerry,angry with Tom,finishes the performance himself and dons a tuxedo in the final scene with the spotlight shining on him. THE LITTLE ORPHAN,another Academy Award nominee,features Tom,Jerry and Jerry's visiting nephew Nibbles playing Thanksgiving scenes and in the final scene,praying before consuming the Thanksgiving dinner. Nibbles eats all of the turkey like a termite! He appears rotund in the final scene. In KITTY FOILED,there's Tom,Jerry and an unnamed canary riding a train set on the living room floor. In the final scene,Jerry and the canary are happily whistling away in the canary's cage. An excerpt of this cartoon became stock footage for LIFE WITH TOM(not seen on this DVD). JERRY'S DIARY contains stock footage from previous cartoons(released before that one). Tom was so furious about many of the statements Jerry wrote about him in his diary. Jerry comes along only to meet Tom who splatters a pie all over Jerry and his hole in the wall. The other cartoons are awesome. I loved them as a kid over two decades ago.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT DVD!!! A TRUE CLASSIC!.......2007-03-13

Overall the DVD was good and very much appropriate for young children. There are a few concepts (it's the classic T&J cartoons) that may not be appropriate for children, but my son still (3 yrs later) loves to watch Tom & Jerry. This old DVD (old cartoons) seems to catch and keep his attention moreso than some newer ones. I personally love T&J so this is a no brainer to recommend this to anyone but note: it does have a few concepts that are not appropriate, but are presented in a way that is way over the heads of children adn does have a few scenes that very concervative parents may term violent.

Self-professed "singer of the American West" John Denver shines in this heartfelt, 1995 live concert to benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society. Favorite songs such as "Rocky Mountain High," "Wild Montana Skies," and "Fly Away" are moving and gain fresh perspective from brief comments by Denver. Lesser-known songs like "Eagles and Horses" and "You Say the Battle Is Over" celebrate the spirit of animals and nature while underlining the importance of preservation. Succinct interview clips express Denver's commitment to nature: exploring man's basic hunger for the wild, the dichotomy between the uncultivated and the city, and the power of the individual to effect preservation and change. Striking though brief footage of wild animals like horses, eagles, penguins, and elephants in their natural habitats serve as bookends to the presentation. The Wildlife Concert is a reflective and moving musical celebration of the American West. --Tami Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best.......2007-05-17

I own two VHS tapes of the Wildlife Concert. Now, thanks to Amazon.com, I also own the DVD. This is the very best performance of John Denver's much too short career and life. It contains songs many of you will not know or remember. He aged better than a fine wine. His beautiful voice became more beautiful with each passing year.

I was always in awe of him, inspired by him, and felt validated by him. Being very much like him, feeling the same way about my planet, hunger, wildlife, children, animals, and the ecology, made it easy for me to relate to him. He felt what I felt and I'm sure I know how he somehow felt a "man apart", so to speak. I understood.

But John Denver put his heart and his soul into lyrics, then to music. His voice will forever be unequaled. Nothing on this earth, other than a horse, is a beautiful as John Denver's voice. On this DVD, as on no other CD or DVD, is that voice more beautiful or the message more powerful. I miss you, John.

Suzanne Whitaker

5 out of 5 stars Great John Denver Concert. .......2007-05-12

If you are a John Denver fan, you will love this DVD. It is vintage John Denver. He performs hits and some lesser known songs. It is really special to be able to see him in concert again even though we have lost him.

5 out of 5 stars I loved it!.......2007-04-17

What a voice we lost when this man died! And yet, his legacy lives on in this compelling DVD what highlights the best of his music AND supports the work of the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Features the ability to turn on or off written lyrics so you can sing along (or prevent someone from singing along if they don't know the words). Instant chapter access to songs, so you can play your favorites easily. In-depth biography allows those of us who never knew him (and those who did) to know him a little better. Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound or Dolby Stereo.

So many incredible songs! Country Roads, Back Home Again, Rocky Mountain High, Fly Away, Annie's Song, Sunshine (on My Shoulders), Calypso, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Good-bye Again, and many more!

I loved it. This is something anyone can support, even with John Denver gone, that can make a difference in a world increasingly off-balance environmentally. What a legacy to leave behind!

An Inconvenient Truth

5 out of 5 stars HEARTWARMING & SOOTHING!.......2007-04-16

This is a must DVD for any John Denver fan. The concert feels very intimate since he performs in front of a small audience. You almost feel like you're there in person. During the concert they show clips of John Denver talking about preserving the environment and its wildlife. He was very passionate about this topic and this is how he would like to be remembered.

Recorded on a single night in June 2000, In the Flesh: Live is a thrilling live testament to the strength of Roger Waters's peculiar artistic vision. Backed by a crack ensemble of both fresh and seasoned players, the former Pink Floyd songsmith powers through Floyd classics, underserved relics, and highlights from his spotty solo career. The man is in great shape, physically and musically, and he obviously has a blast playing live.

What of the axe work? Accept the fact that Waters and Floyd guitarist David Gilmour no longer play together, and you'll appreciate stand-ins Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall II--and the degree to which they honor the parts and solos immortalized by Gilmour. (See the lavish but impersonal Pulse for a healthy dose of Gilmour's Floyd.) The Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix is massive, presenting both the music's inherent spaciousness and the favorable acoustics in Portland, Oregon's Rose Garden Arena. The DVD's 18-minute documentary is long on downtime and short on musical interplay. Any way you cut it, though, this is a must for Floyd fans and a real treat for lovers of arty, intelligent rock. --Michael Mikesell

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Wow -Absolutely amazing.......2007-05-14

When I bought this DVD I didn't really know what to expect from Waters, being more of a David Gilmour fan I was a bit skeptical, but totally blown away nonetheless. This is a must have for anyone who loves the late seventies/early eighties Floyd. I hate to admit this, but I actually enjoyed it even more than PULSE.

5 out of 5 stars sweet.......2007-05-09

It is a pretty decent concert- sound and video pretty good- its a keeper

5 out of 5 stars Pink Floyd: Uncovered.......2007-04-27

Being a fan of Pink Floyd's music in the early 80's, this DVD was a real treat! For the first time, seeing Roger Waters singled out was a real eye opener for me. I had only really thought of Pink Floyd as a sum of its parts; not as unique musicians coming together to be a part of something very special.
Seeing Roger on stage, behind the scenes and interacting with his fellow band mates made everything seem more "real", better understood.
I whole-heartedly recommend this DVD for those who are only even partially interested in Pink Floyd's music. The sound quality is unbelieveable and the video quality is at least as good.

"Shine on, you crazy diamond!"

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing!!!!.......2007-04-12

Waters the Pink Floyd's Soul & Brain comes back with this amazing concert, a real masterpiece, the only sad thing is that is not a DTS sound in the DVD but that's not a impediment to enjoy it.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2007-02-10

WOW, fantastic sound, entertaining show, polished performers and those wonderful Pink Floyd songs. Personally, I really enjoyed hearing Roger's solo work. My favorite was 'Amused to Death' but 'The Bravery of Being Out of Range' has an upbeat energy and is done very well with a better sound than the released 'faux' concert version on the original album. After seeing Roger's 2006 tour I now think the visuals were the only weakness in this DVD but the true fan will love it and look forward to his next release from The Dark Side of the Moon tour. Here's to hoping!

Amazon.com essential video

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

5 out of 5 stars You can't beat the King of Pop in his early years!.......2007-05-22

This has all of the old, really good songs that Michael did videos for. No one can go through the 20th Century without being influenced by "Thriller", "Beat It", "Billie Jean", "Remember the Time".... The video even caught the attention of my husband who is not "into" MJ and was supposed to be doing something "important". Children, teenagers, young adults and not-so-young adults all love the early songs of the King of Pop. The video is very entertaining and fun.

5 out of 5 stars Worth every penny.......2007-05-15

5 out of 5 stars Michael Jackson Revisited.......2007-05-07

I loved the long versions of "Bad" and "The Way You Make Me Feel". I had forgotten why Michael Jackson was called the KING OF POP! He was ahead of his time in style, with his video shorts, and his stories. His underlining stories all deal with the human condition in some way--"The Way You Make Me FeeL" deals with the importance of being yourself when it comes to love and "Bad" deals with being good over being bad.

One sees his style copied by so many of the entertainers from all over the world again and again. He's the KING OF POP and to date no one has surpassed him. Many have tried but none with the impact he has made on the world.
