bad night.......2007-05-20

I was expecting much more.
I eagerly anticpated its release.
This appears to have been a very "off" night for leslie.
I was expecting a performance equal to the Live CD released a few years ago. Its phenominal. Why wasnt somebody videoing that night?
The trick video camera angles I found here were annoying.
The energy just wasnt there this night.

For a West fanatic like me, still a must have.
For newcomers to the genius and uniqueness that is Leslie West......
by the live CD.

Lets hope something better gets recorded and released soon.

Leslie Still Kicks Ass.......2006-07-22

Ain't nothing better than Leslie West, Corky Laing, a bass player whom You know better be explosive, and keep pushin Leslie? He's Damn Good Too..Richey Scarlett. Check out this web site. Killer New York Guitarist on loan. What can you say? Life is GOOD when you got Mountain and Leslie kickin at your door?

What happened to Leslie and Mountain???.......2006-02-23

I was really looking forward to this DVD, but man, what a disappointment. I have seen Leslie about a dozen times through the 70's and he was one of my all time favorite guitarists. He got all kinds of sounds out of loads of wattage and minimal effects pedals. I loved the clean gut-wrenching cords and middle neck leads. Definitely the best as a live band. What happened??In Sea of Fire he's fiddling with all his effects through the whole show. He had a totally different sound than he used to. Every once in a while he would hit a cord that would make you flash back to an old show, but then I would snap out of it on his next cord or note when his digital delay crap kicked in. The show looks like it was taped in a Jr. High school gym with about 50 people in the audience. I have to agree, about the only good thing was some of the pictures of the Mountain of old. I would like to see the old footage/concerts on DVD.

Leslie!!!!! Get rid of your octave divider & the rest of your effects!!!!! You had one of the best natural tones & vibrato in rock/blues!!!! Crank that Eddie Van Halen Peavey amp clean and lets hear your real magic!! Personally Freddy King smokes your ass, but you used to be number 2!!!! Get back to the real and give us all a thrill!!!!

"Rather old farts than young ass..".......2004-02-29

(A Knight & (a good) bass player missing!) In 1985 LW & CL visited "Kuusrock"-festival near my home-town, but I wasn't able to see them; so this is better than nothing; I'd rather like to see video of "Road goes ever on" or "Dream sequence" from "Flowers of evil". Anyway, LW is LW and he does everything well (remember his age!) and he has his own style; don't even try to copy. And young drummers: just listen to old Mountain records & Corky now; that's how you make rock "run like a moose"; this is a Finnish expression meaning when the music of the band really works and goes forward powerfully. "Only" 4 stars, 'cause LW didn't want to have enough good bass player an no keyboards at all.

Description

The ocean remains one of our last untamed frontiers. It presents dangerous waves, unpredictable weather patterns, strange wild life, and a vast unexplored undersea terrain. In our quest to conquer the earth, we have invented many vessels to take on challenges of the sea. It is only when these vessels fail us that we realize the ocean still holds true control. The 1967 U.S.S. Forrestal: While the U.S.S. Forrestal was conducting combat operations off the coast of Vietnam, a missile was accidentally fired into a parked and armed A-4 Skyhawk plane causing a massive chain reaction of fire and explosions. The 134 casualties represent the worst loss of life incident on a naval vessel since World War II. The 1939 HMS Thetis: When the submarine Thetis made a trial dive in shallow water, it did not know that a malfunctioning torpedo tube would cause it to ram into the sea bed below. Rescuers worked with the stern sticking out of the water until the sub flipped over and sank entirely. By this time, the 99 passengers had long since suffocated to death.

CAVEAT EMPTOR.......2005-05-11

BUYER BEWARE! This looks like a lowball of a deal if you consider that most of the movies depicted are the worst Hollywood has ever produced and delivered. I would look at the reviews and perhaps rent each individual movie before you by them all together. Here's a view of some of them:

'The Big Red One': Without question one of the worst WWII/D-Day films ever produced in every respect (technically and historically.) The film stars Lee Marvin who's much too old to play a grunt on the beaches of Normandy. The film is riddled with cliches and bad scenes from beginning to end. It wasn't even filmed in Europe but Israel. Yes, the coasts and beaches in Israel look so much like Normandy it's striking! It's about as bad as setting Auschwitz in Death Valley for a Holocaust film.

'The Gauntlet': Dirty Harry-type Eastwood movie where he's got to protect a witness against corrupt cops. Not a bad movie but not his best either: far below his Dirty Harry films or his westerns.

'Point of No Return': American version of "La Femme Nikita" starring Bridget Fonda. O.K. but the French version was better and more realistic.

'The Sea Wolves': Humor-action WWII movie starring Roger Moore. This one is actually pretty good with a lot of action.

'Soldier': Probably the worst movie that Kurt Russel ever starred in where he has an even smaller script than Schwarzeneger in "Terminator." Pathetic: not even worth watching once.

'Tango and Cash': Comedy-action cop movie with Kurt Russel and Sylvester Stallone. O.K. but after a while you begin to wonder whether you're laughing at the film or the fact that this was even made into a movie.

'Victory': Good movie about a soccer team of prisoners in WWII starrring Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone. This film is probably the best one out of the entire selection.

'When Trumpets Fade': Another one of the absolutely worst war films ever produced regarding the obscure battle of Hurtigen Forest at the close of WWII in Europe. A pathetic film with a horrible screenplay and equally disgraceful acting: avoid like the plague! I got it for free as a bonus to buying 'Band of Brothers' and I threw it away after one viewing as I couldn't stop laughing as to how bad this movie was.

Save your money and buy the few good films in this packet separately. Most of the movies in this package are not worth buying trust me!

They have got to be kidding........2005-03-20

There are maybe two OK movies in this "Deal", the rest are junk. I do not want to own any of them personally. The best part is the deal itself. Every single one of these movies can be had for less than ten bucks. If they chopped the first number of the price, they might be able to call it a deal.

It is a bad deal........2004-11-18

With the market for the DVD's being so competetive you can buy these DVDs individually at a much cheaper price than as an action pack on amazon. Don't be fooled go else where. The movies are good so I'd get them just not all at once like this.

Not terribly useful collection.......2003-09-12

While the movies here in and of themselves are not 'bad' movies, unless you really want to buy them all you would probably be better off seeking the specific movies that you want rather than coughing up $115 for them here.

Some Winners and Some Losers.......2003-09-10

This is an interesting set of DVDs.

There are some good films here and some not so great.

"The Big Red One" is a much overlooked war film starring, believe it or not, Mark Hamill of "Star Wars" fame. The story is told very well.

"Fort Apache, The Bronx" stars Paul Newman and is really not so bad a cop film. If you like that genre, this is a good addition to your collection. Again, a well told story, if not a little dated.

"The Gauntlet" is a pretty good Clint Eastwood movie from 1977. Not one of his best, but not one of his worst either.

"Point of No Return" is the American version of "LaFemme Nikita" starring Bridget Fonda. The original is the better movie, but this one works. Its a fun watch.

"Ricochet" stars a pre-Oscar win Denzel Washington and a very over the top John Lithgow. It passes for entertainment, but barely. Lindsay Wagner shows up, if that helps.

"Soldier" is a Kurt Russel movie that he worked out for. Nice pecs, Kurt.

"Tango and Cash" is actually a pretty good film. Importantly, it does NOT take itself too seriously and it fun to watch. It stars Kurt Russel and Sylvester Stallone in their prime action-hero days.

"Victory" is a great film. The best featured here. It is placed in a concentration camp in WWII and its about soccer. You're intrigued, right? Its actually a very good movie, uplifting and well told. Again we have Sylvester Stallone and he's joined by Michael Caine and Pele (soccer superstar).

Obviously, there are some good films in this collection. Dont write it off without a consideration.
