Summary: What a Rip Off !!!!
Review: 40 or so minutes per disk of footage mainly taken from German TV. Experimental camera techniques have not dated well. Content is widely available elsewhere at much better value for your money, compilation probably put together by an accountant.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WELL WORTH THE CASH!
Review: I'm not going to leave a long-winded review like some others have done. But i do have to say that this DVD set is definitely worth the money. You get a whole lot of music that's for sure. Some of these clips are very rare and hard to find elsewhere. Also, there is a great mix of genres of music and different artists, more than enough to keep you entertained. Bottom line; you get five DVDs, packed with some of the greatest artists of our time, and all for about $50.00. You can't beat that with a stick. BUY IT!

Summary: If you like lipsinking
Review: If you like lipsinking you will like this set. There are some live performances but most are TV show performances with lipsinking. I was disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVDs inside and out!
Review: Man, this set has it all...from roots to stems to branches to leaves...the Family Tree of Rock and Roll is well represented, but I have to say that what first caught my eye was the stunning cover art...brilliant!!! I love the cover of the Soul DVD! But the actual DVDs were dreamy...and harkened me back to a time when I was young, wild, and sweatin' at the sock hop! WHOOOAH-PAH!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When Music Meant Something
Review: These videos really took me back to a time when music was intertwined with politics and social change. Although some of the footage is black and white, I had never seen Blue Cheer or Steppenwolf in their prime. A few clips are fuzzy, but they appear to be really old; Stevie Wonder looks like he's twelve or so. Most enjoyed the Who live; Otis Redding's last appearance (also live) before his death; a very handsome Ray Davies; Percy Sledge singing When A Man Loves A Woman; and a terrific Ike and Tina. Altogether, a valuable archival product. Casey's really a pretty sympatico presenter.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing quality sound and picture.
Review: This is a disappointing set as a lot of the film clips are poor quality. There are some good ones,like a color film clip where the Who perform live,but the many poor quality ones spoil it.
For example,there is a poor live performance by Cream which has terrible sound and poor picture quality. There is a James Brown clip(filmed in B&W)where he is obviously miming on his own. Compare this to the Ed Sullivan DVDs where James Brown performs live with a huge band backing him and you can see that this is a very average collection of DVDs. I would recommend either the Ed Sullivan,Music Scene or Hullabaloo Music DVDs as they are much better quality than this mediocre set.
