The Best of the Blues Brothers

Summary: History of the Blues Brothers
Review: 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

Summary: Blues Brothers fans look here!
Review: This is a great video for fans of the blues brothers. Dan Aykroyd plays two roles at once-one as himself, one as Elwood blues. Each gives a story about the band, how it started, how it ended. This video contains hilarious performances, including the "Killer Bee" performance. Just gotta see it!

Summary: Video for Die-Hard fans
Review: This video contains most of what any die hard Blues Brothers fan would need to know. The origins of the band are talked over by Dan Ackroyd and Elwood. Most of the famous songs are in there including ones from SNL and from their 1978 concert tour. There are downsides though, the interviewer is irritating and interrupts Ackroyd, and much of the older footage has poor quality sound and visuals. However if you like the blues brothers and want to see Jake wearing different sunglasses and in one short a red hat, then buy it!!!

Summary: The Best of the Blues Brothers
Review: 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.
