Review: I really enjoyed the footage of the Blues Brothers and can not expand on the good points raised in the other reviews. A must for all fans. But where are the Harmonica instructions that are advertised? I did not find them. The DVD is still a must own.

Summary: Good, but......
Review: 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.

Summary: Blues brothers in amateur video
Review: If you adore the Blues Brothers, then you may be willing to overlook the poor monaural sound and sub-VHS-quality video on this "Special Edition" DVD just to see one more glimpse of our old favorites. However, the sound is not just bad, it is like listening to a cheap transistor radio--totally tinny and with zero stereo separation, as shown on my spectrum analyzer, even though the disk is billed as having two channel digital sound. (This is a problem with the DVD standard: You can record a telephone call onto a DVD, and if you use two channels to do it, you can claim two-channel digital sound.) The picture is not just bad, in many places we're left looking through a dim red fog at a bunch of unidentifiable dancing figures. It is bad, really bad. The worst I've ever seen on a on a commercial video in any format. Instead of an honest, straight forward interview with Aykroyd, we're given a way-overproduced "mockumentary," within which we are asked to separate the real from the imaginary. The only honesty surrounding this disk, as limited as it is, comes in the disclaimer in 4 point type at the bottom of the back cover: "There may be some slight visual variances due to the state of the original master."--The understatement of the century.

Summary: The Blues Brothers Bible
Review: If you love The Blues Brothers (and who doesn't) this video would be a great addition to your collection. You get a lot of info about the origin of the band and the creation of the mythology of the characters. However, the best part is that it has a ton of footage from their concerts and tv appearances. Belushi would have been very pleased.

Summary: A Classic
Review: One of the best comedies of all time. Great music too
Rating:
Summary: classical and comedic, and touching
Review: The main theme of this is: A restaurant, Dan Aykroyd is sitting at a table with an interviewer, waiting for the other person to be interviewed (Elwood Blues) to arrive...He gets there they all chit-chat. The interview begins.... It is mainly focused on Elwood's loss of Jake, and Dan's loss of John. Really deep and really great, recommended of any blues brother fan. It shows old B.B. concert footage, and has a harmonica lesson at the end. A true keeper.......

Summary: Everybody Needs Somebody, Everybody Needs This Video!
Review: The only negative thing that I have to say about this video is that it's over too quickly. If you are a Blues Brothers fan and (like me) had only just been born when they were singing live, then this is your opportunity to see them in the act. Name your favourite song, and you'll most likely see it performed here. The majority of the songs from 'Briefcase Full of Blues' are on here but I'm afraid those from 'Made in America' aren't.
Still, this video is well worn owning and includes an insightful interview with Dan Aykroyd and Elwood, which becomes very funny towards the end, then all of a sudden, poignant as they consider what effect the absence of John Belushi and Jake has had on the band.
What I especially loved about the Blues Brothers is how they repeatedly acknowledged each individual member of the band. Whenever it's Steve Cropper's or Matt 'Guitar' Murphy's turn (Matt 'Muscle' Murphy if you ask me) for a solo, Belushi and Aykroyd are more than happy to step out of the spotlight and let them take over, whilst they have a cigarette in the corner or lie down and have a rest on the floor! (You'll have to get 'Saturday Night Live - The Best of John Belushi' to see the latter one!...
