Going For The YES Album!
on January 2, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Arguably "The Yes Album," and "Going For The One," are at least well on their way to being masterpieces and certainly ARE classics in a world of radio stations who play nothing but "Classic Rock!" This 2 cd one dvd set contains live renditions of the aforementioned albums in their original firing order. I just love slipping into a fine set of headphones and dreaming I'm in the YES road crew immersed in the angelic vocals and thundering bass with a Tad of fuzz gently sprinkled around the luxury of Yes keyboards. Note this is the current version of Yes that has been quite roadworthy and well received. I'm very ok with it all because sound quality is where it is at, along with a perceptible reverence of the music. The DVD seems OK, and worth a viewing. It is the (CD) sound that will cast a spell on you...enjoy!

It Really Is That Good !!!

A few years ago I got seats to see Air Supply with my closest (non-romantic) friend. I planned on sitting through the show and applauding politely, and smiling appropriately as she gushed over all the admittedly pretty and romantic songs being sung. I got th firm impression since the show was close to Valentine's Day that both our significant others were not happy we were going to a show of Love
Songs.....but neither he nor she wanted to go to the show!
Well I was very off base, it was a GREAT show filled with undeniably infectious hit songs, expertly sung and played with a crack band. After the show I was able to complement several of the guys on sleek vocals, and in particular the drummer. Imagine keeping the beat UP in a very soft rock band. A challenge he accepted with oh so great results.
This DVD captures so well the live experience of the pure joy of hit after hit remarkably rocking and rolling making you clap, sing and STOMP along regardless of the delicate nature of most of the set list.
Buy, do not rent this video. You (& yours) will enjoy it for years!

Great Value for a few Yuks!

"The French Connection" or The Lampoon's "Vacation," these flicks are NOT......but this very low priced comedy collection will give you a few belly laughs and are just "adult" enough to keep your mind in the gutter for a few hours of giggles and semi-gross-Outs!
Makes a great stocking stuffer for the right person!

Just shy of a classic !

Verified Purchase:Yes
Aretha Franklin is a classy & immensely talented singer in anyone's musical atmosphere. Do drop a few more dollars and listen to her "Best Of" collection FIRST. I suggest her "30 Greatest Hits" from 1985. Hear how she beautifully gift wraps such covers as "Eleanor Rigby," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," and "Rock Steady." Now to Holiday Time 2014 and stand back, crank it up and bear witness to 10 new recordings that will astonish you. All ten songs are great songs, with marvelous production values. Hard to pick a favorite, but Ms. Franklin's versions of "Rolling In The Deep," as well as "Nothing Compares 2 U," might have easily been signature songs for Aretha had the Originals been released a bit later than they were. I often find myself hitting the shuffle button of the 40 song playlist you get importing both albums for a real sonic treat on a long drive.

One watcher, but not bad

A great cast, a shop-worn idea with loads of technical inaccuracies can be a "warm" mess, but in this case, it makes for a decent movie that you will only see once. I tried to watch parts of it a second time with friends and nope, it was not worth the second glare.

Double disc better value

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the single disc version of "50" for myself. See my musings there. This 2 CD version I purchased for my cousin who is a British Rock and especially Who fanatic. Since I was shipping the album as a gift I chose this version. It is a matter of how many songs you get per dollar and how much of a "sampler" you want. Note: every version has just the one brand new track ("Be Lucky"). This package is labeled remastered and in A to B headphone comparisons is slightly crisper than a best of disc from about 10 years ago. If you want a long & up to date Who "Best of" this is what you hope to find in your stocking!

Watch the version you buy, color of cover matters!

This review is of the 21 song version, single CD. I just wanted the new track "Be Lucky" on an official CD along with the "sampler" that is this album. The cover says it is remastered & I put that to the test. This "best of" versus one from a decade or so ago, with the original CDs listening to numerous songs using Bose, Klipsch & in ear Monster head sets. You can hear a slight improvment in the crispness of the guitars for sure on the new disc. You DO have to really listen critically of course. So if you want an up to date single disc Who "best of" THIS is your best choice.

Solid Action Adventure

Undeniably cool cast with a stand out performance by Mel Gibson, who steals the entire film! The problem is a very mediocre plot, as predictable as a fairy tale. Good, just not excellent, as I would have expected when Sly & Friends took their third swing at this franchise!

I have written my own review, but since I bought 2 copies of this movie, I get 2 shots at a review. Well the most beautiful, intelligent and devastatingly lovely human being in my life said it was "Awesome," and when I ordered it to be in her mailbox on the day it was released (thank you so much Best Buy!) I made her day. This woman is ALWAYS right, so stop reading the reviews now and order this movie. It will make your day as well!

sparkling like a cheap but enjoyable wine

I bet at least half of Blake's fans got to know him on "The Voice." I fully admit to that as well, although I did know a few of his tunes from country radio. This album seems to bridge the gap for me with Country POP with country/ country-rock woven together, with a dear reverence for what we as a people (& a nation) are all about. Worth your listening time!
