A MUST HAVE !, 2008-11-07
Some of these reviewers get overly critical - like they are auditioning for a job. If you like this type of music this is a no-brainer purchase. The video quality is very good the sound quality is excellent. What makes this dvd so good is that all the original singers are singing - so if you close your eyes it will sound like what you're used to hearing !! BUY this - Amazons price is great. It's not like you're breaking the bank to get this !

Real oldies but goodies, 2007-10-11
When I bought this DVD I thought the songs were old clips from the sixties. To my suprize, a bunch of old hippy dudes (at least 60 yrs old), still hangin in there. May God bless all the Hippys. br /Great Dvd.

The 60's Rock Experience Live, 2007-09-12
... This is a difficult product to evaluate because it's such a mishmash of material... audio and video quality between sound-tracks or DVD "chapters" varies considerably. There are audio problems in the 5.1 channel mode down-mixed into 2.0 channel stereo from a standard Sony DVD player into the test equipment which is a state-of-the-art Bose Acoustic Wave Music System coupled with monster brand cable connections and audio grade Xindak XF-500 power filters. The disc 2.0 channel stereo mode is mostly not bad and that is the primary option in the DVD audio set-up menu. br / br /Musically speaking, I don't like Jim Morrison; Jimi Hendrix; Janis Joplin or Joan Baez with the exception of The Doors in the original "Apocalypse Now" movie soundtrack. br / br /The best of the so-called "classic clips" of Credence Clearwater Revival "Down on the Corner" and "Bad Moon Rising" are totally cutoff abridged versions lasting only about two minutes and forty seconds, combined playing time. In other words, about half of their original running time in the original recordings. Audio video quality in this case is also poor even for the vintage material that it is. There are also constant, annoying narrations and commentaries and commercials in between each chapter or music video soundtrack... PBS should've just flashed their distinctive logo at the lower right or left-hand corner of the t.v. every 15 or 20 minutes or whatever with no interruptions in between chapters or music video soundtracks. br / br /Graphics are good, but there are injection molding problems in the fabrication of the plastic case... the disc spins around whereas it should fit snugly. The disc itself is only of standard quality. br / br /In any event, the best of the live performances are the Byrds, the Grass Roots and Steppenwolf, by far. Particularly, "Magic Carpet Ride," but these aren't the complete original bands only what's left of them so the original "synergy" is lost. And for somebody who said that he "smoked a lot of grass, and popped a lot of pills," Jon Kay of "Steppenwolf" ("a symbol of man's alienation... and his strength") is certainly looking good for his age... he must be pushing 70 years old by now. br / br /To sum up; in dialectic logic you can't fall on "fractions" so, if you want our opinion, we don't give "half" stars and this particular product only has a combined average rating of 3 stars when weighed against other similar products that are currently available on the market. br / br /Note: When we say that the 2.0 channel stereo mode is "mostly not bad" actually, it's of considerably high quality in some instances like "Magic Carpet Ride" and under par or very bad quality in other instances. br /

Great 60's Music Performed Live, 2007-05-20
This DVD is a must have for any 60's music fan. It is really great to see Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, Rob Grill of The Grass Roots, John Kay of Steppenwolf, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night, and Scott MacKenzie still performing and going strong today. Also includes clips of some other great performing artists.
