Description

Unbelievable-Fantastic.......2007-06-18

I bought this for the fact that Mark Knopfler was in it. I was blown away at the performances. Pink Floyd did "Shine on you crazy diamond" and "Run like hell". It was wonderful as always. Paul McCartney whom I'm not a fan of, changed my mind. "Hey Jude" was almost inspirational. The band, Status Quo, sang "In the army now". I really liked that one. The biggest surprise for me was Genesis, Phil Collins sang the song "Mama" like I've never seen and heard someone sing before. The band was unbelievable in this song too. I Actually got goose bumps. Play it loud! I haven't really listened to Phil Collins since they went their different ways. Eric Clapton, Elton John, Robert Plant (with Jimmy Page), Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits, Cliff Richards & The Shadows, Tears for Fears, Phil Collins and the Serious Band were all great too. I couldn't find one bad or even mediocre performance. It was wonderful to see some of these "supergroups" perform together. The sound is very good for a live concert. The DVD's are capable of Dolby Digital, Dts, and 5.1 Surround sound. 125,000 people were there for the benefit of the mentally handicapped kids. These people sang and rocked their hearts out. I am very critical of live music, not this one. You will NOT be disappointed .

Live at Knebworth: Parts 1, 2 & 3.......2007-06-08

This Concert is really superb. With many rock music stars on one place, "Live at Knebworth" is amazing experience.

Great Show.......2007-03-27

I bought this DVD because, I wanted to see some of these bands when I was a teenager but never got the chance. I think that Pink Floyd should have gotten more air time. Genesis was good, Robert Plant and Jimmy page was very good. Paul McCartney was not bad. Cliff Richard (Who was He??). Everyone else in the show was alright. But, All in All the entire show was great. Nice to see how these artist preformed on their own TURF.

A must.......2006-06-03

I have seen other reviews and although most people recomend this item, some have concerns and issues with editing. I respect the opinions of everyone but offer this view: listening to "I think I love you too much" performed by Knoppfler and Clapton, guitar mounsters, is worth the entire box; believe me, it is outstanding and something very unlikely to see again. If you know who these people are, you will not be dissapointed. Guranteed.

Disappointing.......2006-03-15

Yes, I am disappointed. The sound is terrible. Crowd sound levels are out of proportion to the music performed. We have come to expect a much better editing job. Of particular note, is that the sound track is out of sync with the video performances - especially on the Status Quo numbers.

It is nowhere near as complete as it could have been. So many good performances were omitted.

I give it 3 stars simply because it was such a moving concert. And it is better to have this record of it than to have none at all. Maybe someday this event will get the first class treatment it deserves.
