My giddiness quickly turned to growling curses after eagerly ripping into the Blockbuster envelope and jamming the disk into my DVD player. I am a big time Who fan but this product was not at all as anticipated. One out of the meager four song selection is a badly produced video which features Pete Townsend annoyingly strumming a Gibson SG guitar Lip-snk style to the acoustic portion of Pinball Wizard. I've seen versions by air guitar bands that certainly were more entertaining and more convincing than this dopey video. Another selection in this crapfest is a blue silhouette version of I'm Free. Just dancing blue silhouettes throughout the entire video. Yowza! Truly a let down. "I'm a Boy" is a classic moment filmed during the glorious black and white era of television. Although the only bright spot in this uninspiring collection of cutting floor leftovers, it alone is not worth purchasing or even renting this disappointing disk o’ garbage.

If you did not read the details, let me emphasis this four, count ‘em, just FOUR songs…for a playing time of I’d say ten to fifteen minutes (closer to ten). I’m glad I did not purchase it. The clips/songs are of fairly poor quality (cause they are from old TV/film footage). Unless you are a real die-hard fan looking to scrape up something that could be new or rare (which I doubt any of the clips qualify as rare), rent something else!

I couldn't find a way to get past the first song on my DVD. Couldn't chapter it in; my kids couldn't figure it out, either. I tried to play it on my computer - my computer couldn't decode it. So, if you're willing to give it a shot, AND you get it to play, please be kind enough to post the directions to do so!!! I managed to get the first song to play. It was o.k. - but certainly nothing to write home about. The title proved to be more frustrating than it was worth to get. :(
