Jethro Tull: Nothing Is Easy Live at the Isle of Wight 1970

8 reviews
Jethro Tull

Eagle Rock Ent, 2005

Simply a great performance
In 1970, the final Isle of Wight Festival was held (at least until 2002 when the Isle of Wight festival ban was lifted). It was an event that I felt had more interesting music acts than did Woodstock, because it had acts that Woodstock wouldn't take. Woodstock rejected the Doors, because they felt the band had too dark and gloomy of an image for the "flower power" audience. Neither would ...

1. World Heavyweight Championship Rey Mysterio vs King Booker Winner : King Booker ( with the help from Sharmell and Finlay) Booker's retirement was near, but he hasn't ever won WWE and World Heavyweight Championship. I think King Booker will become a champion. 2. Batista vs Mark Henry Winner : Batista (clean win) 3. The Undertaker vs The Great Khali Punjabi Prison Match Winner : The Great ...

Under-rated entertainment.
We never heard of this movie, but the cover looked interesting at the video rental store. We were not disappointed. It was funny and entertaining throughout. Being big fans of community theatre, it reminded us of "Waiting for Guffman," another movie we can recommend that didn't get enough attention.

Hysterical
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg demonstrate brilliantly how to use cliches to create intelligent and hysterical comedy. Pegg and Frost are of course great on screen together; there are layers upon layers of reference, visual and verbal. Especially for those who grew up watching crime dramas and detective movies, you will experience a strange and wonderful sense of deja vu.

This movie is heaven
I don't get the criticism of this movie. Firstly, it's damn cheap - so whatever you get is value. Secondly, I've never bothered to watch the actual movie all the way through - all I'm interested in is the music. I go straight to the titles section where you can just watch the performances uncut. That's what I wanted, and what I get is the most fantastic performances by The Who, Doors, and some ...

The Who

Eagle Rock Ent, 2006

At The Top Of Their Game
If you're looking for a concert video that captures The Who at the peak of their talents, this one is it. The year is 1970. Pete Townshend still looks like himself (not that I have anything against Pete as an old fart, but, you know ...). He still had hair, and lots of it. His energy is infectious. His jumps and splits are perfectly timed. In fact, he strikes an exciting balance during this ...

Experience Hendrix, 2002

Well done documentation of a flawed performance
The video is great. ANY Hendrix fan (and I am definitely one) ought to own this. It is a very well done video, in terms of camera, not too much bio material, just a good recording of a sub-par performance. I don't know what other folks are seeing here, but if you read about Hendrix, he was apprehensive, he was thin, dead tired, and there were also technical glitches. Hendrix' performance at ...

An Excellent Live Document
I just got this set yesterday and watched the DVD last night. The cd/dvd dual disc has both the dvd on one side and just the music on the other. A friend of mine won both the dvd and the dual disc from a local radio station. He decided to keep the dual disc and give me the dvd! I haven't heard the music by itself yet but I can speak for the DVD portion. It was amazing. It was the year ...

BBC Warner, 2008

beautiful love story
I agree with some on the reviews that yes Anne running around at the end was kind of odd. But the kiss was tender with the tear. Rupert is sex on legs as Captain Wentworth. I would watch the movie 100 times again just to look at him. Sally as Anne was a amazing role. I felt like I understood how torn she was watching her love court someone else. The anticipated climax of their reunion was ...

a great combination of a documentary and a live show
I usually wish for more music and less talk, but this DVD I gets the balance right. It's got everything, hilarious hippie stereotypes abound when the festival organizers start freaking out about stupid stuff and acting like general morons. This is more of a documentary than a live DVD but that's pretty obvious from reading the description on the back before buying it. Of course Ian Anderson ...

Excellent Despite Shortcomings
I have read all the reviews and I think a lot of people here are kidding themselves. This is Hendrix and no matter how sloppy he plays, compared to anyone else, ever, he blows them away. The band as a whole fail but the guitar work is still incredible. There are many excellent songs in this concert - not just Red House. Machine Gun is awesome despite somebody's review saying it was trying to ...

Heidi

Warner Home Video, 2006

A worthy addition to the film canon of the Spyri classic
There are many reviews on this item already. I want to give a specific reason to add mine: Geraldine Chaplin's portrayal of Fräulein Rottenmeier. At last we have a Rottenmeier who is not "evil" but rather one who is unable to show love. A wonderful moment in the film comes when Diana Rigg's Grandmamma asks her why everyone else sees the good in Heidi but Rottenmeier can not. A less ...
