Customer Reviews

John performs with interuptions
I purchased this video in hopes of seeing classic live performances by John winston ono Lennon. I had hoped to see them uninteruped. However every clip that was shown, was interupted by various coherts from the past who infringed upon the so called performaces with their opinions. I feel the poterntial purchaser should know what is in store for him, should he/she elect to buy this DVD. I wish I could gather together video performaces from John's all too short career in music. As is, what you get is a lot recollectins, yet not enough live performaces.

JOHN LENNON GETS HACKED UP
I AGREE TOTALLY WITH TYRONE REX. I DON'T MIND A LITTLE COMMENTARY, BUT THIS WAS VERY ANNOYING. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HALF OF WHAT THEY WERE COMMENTING ABOUT, AND WHAT YOU COULD UNDERSTAND WAS MOSTLY WORTHLESS BULL THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW.
YOU GET A TASTE OF THE MUSIC, ONLY TO GET INTERUPTED EVERY 20 SECONDS BY SOME MARBLE MOUTH BORE.I WISH I READ TYRONES' REVIEW BEFORE BUYING THIS TEASE !
I ONLY GIVE IT 1/2 STAR.

leader of the Beatles
I have some interest in songwriters, so I found this DVD interesting on how the songs of John Lennon matured during the years he was in the Beatles, making a few movies, and exposed to Bob Dylan and drugs. Heroin makes a good explanation for the break up of the Beatles, as John Lennon became reluctant to take part in anything that did not get him off in a major high. Something about John Lennon being shot still tells me more than this DVD was willing to try for. Tom Paxton wrote a song, "Crazy John" as if "Where you gonna run to today?" and "I want to be crazy, too" were more natural reactions than a lifetime studying popular music.
