Customer Reviews of The Best of the Blues Brothers
The Best of the Blues Brothers Well here it is, the complete story of The Blues Brothers Band. The band that played soul, rhythm and blues, and blues. With the brilliant frontmen and performers Elwood and Jake, they quickly rose to fame across the nation. This DVD stars writer Tom Davis, Dan Ackroyd, and Elwood Blues himself. This DVD boasts 14 different musical performances of the band: I'm A King Bee, I've Got Everything I Need (Almost), Can't Turn You Loose, B-Movie Box Car Blues, Soul Man, Messin' With The Kid, Groove Me, Flip Flop & Fly, I Don't Know, Hey Bartender, Jailhouse Rock, Rubber Biscuit, Shotgun Blues, Soul Man (alternative version). This is a unique DVD with an almost Behind the Music type set up. It is one hour long, not bad for thirteen dollars. It is also unique how the viewer is given the thoughts of both Dan Ackroyd and Elwood in this DVD, and how they both reacted to the loss their respective partners. While the last ten minutes or so are an advertisement for the House of Blues, the first 50 are interesting and very good. This video is not for the somewhat fan, but a must for the true fan of the Blues Brothers Band.
History of the Blues Brothers
This DVD is good if you are a big fan of Belushi and Aykroyd but the interviews are poor. This would have been better if the interview had concentrated on either Dan Aykroyd or Elwood but the live performances more than make up for this flaw. Early recordings of their first live performance on Saturday Night Live is not to be missed!! The only other drawback of this was that there was no harmonicia lession as advertised which was disappointing and it's for this reason that I am not giving this a four star rating. Generally, it's well worth buying of you want to see live performances but not worth it just for the interview
Good, but......
I'm a huge BB fan but while the DVD was good, it could have been great. Specifically, the audio mixing was lean. The sound was missing the richness that the BB's are known for. Likewise, although I'm not one to crank the bass, the bass was too light.
Another complaint is the goofy discussions with Dan Akroyd between songs. Fairly cheesy. It would have been better to add the discussions with Dan as a Special Feature rather than between songs. Furthermore, the songs tended to abrubtly start during the second or third bar of the song. Why not at the beggining of the song?
Nonetheless, if you're a die hard BB fan you'll enjoy it.
