Love it

I listened to this set as a child ALL THE TIME. to finally see the performances is such a treat. I love it. April 7, 2008

camerwork blows

The technology of the era really hurts this dvd. Great concert, but alas, it only rises to the technology of the era. Get it for historical reasons but not for concert viewing excellence. Some will like, some will not. We watched it once and not twice, a sure indication that something wasn't quite right. November 24, 2007

Alas a tad tedious...

Always have been curious about this gig, a curious mixture of characters on stage from Klaus Voorman, Billy Preston, Ringo, and of course Dylan. What stands out is how frankly mediocre a songwriter George Harrison was, the sentiments are in the right place but apart from Badfinger this give a good sniff of why Punk had to happen a few years later... Nice Dylan though. November 14, 2007

Too bad all things must pass

I have the LP version of this concert, but, until recently, had not viewed the video. I tried to watch a year or so ago on PBS and had a power outage after about twenty minutes. I finally got around to viewing it via Netflix. VERY ENJOYABLE. Many of the concerts I have watched thru Netflix have featured aging rock stars 30 years after they made their scene. It is nice to see some vintage film from days gone by.

Just about the only headliner at this concert that was not in top form was the comfortably numb Eric Clapton. Billy Preston tries (and somewhat does) to steal the show with just one tune and Leon Russell is terrific. The Bob Dylan set is by itself worth the price of admission. WOW! I almost forgot to mention Ringo! George and Ringo on stage together!

One of my high school annuals was titled "All Things Must Pass." That triple LP was one of my favorites in the early 1970s. Harrison does several of the hits off this LP plus a few of his Beatle tunes. Harrison is spot on. His playing, singing, and overall performance is just downright terrific.

If you are looking for a great blast from the not too distant past, you could do far worse than this wonderful concert.

Best live concert this century

I was so amazed at the quality of the video and the 5.1 sound seeing as this concert was 1971, the quality is 2007. I just can't wait to get a house so I can play it at max with my 600 watt system.
A MUST buy October 19, 2007
