Summary: Way to go!
Review: I love this DVD! Especially with the pop-ups! Sometimes the information about a particular band is not accurate with the facts from the Rock and Roll encyclopedias. But there is more black than white in those videos. There are some videos that were made from cutting edge technology in the 1960s. Long before cable television! Long before MTV and VH1! Even long before digital computers!

Summary: Tacky but Pricless
Review: Okay, first of all, you should know that all of the "videos" (back in the 60s, there was no such thing as rock videos like we know them today, save for the late-era Beatles songs like "Strawberry Fields" and some other quickies) on this DVD are actually televised performances from the German TV show "Beat Club."The whole thing is in late-60s black and white. But that's okay. What you get here is some classic performances (some live, some recorded) of bands as far reaching as The Who, Status Quo, Procol Harum, The Troggs, and even the Bonzo Dog Band. What's really nice is that the songs performed by all the bands here are not necessarily what you would expect to see on a DVD; there aren't many hits here. The Kinks, for example, do "PLastic Man," a great song but one I had not heard before. Another example: Manfred Mann performs "Ha Ha! Said the Clown," rather than their more familiar stuff of that era, such as "the Mighty Quinn." The DVD packs a ton of songs into less than an hour, has "pop-up" extras for each video, and is worth the meager amount they want for it. Pick it up! You'll like it! TT
