Dan Aykroyd and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) take turns telling how the Blues Brothers came to be, in a restaurant interview with Tom Davis (once upon on a time teamed with Al Franken on Saturday Night Live). For those who don't know, the Blues Brother are Joliet Jake Blues (John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd), two black-clad R & B artists who made it big with recurring appearances on Saturday Night Live in the late 1970s, and with the number-one hit "Soul Man," and of course in the hit 1980 movie, The Blues Brothers. The conceit of the restaurant interview allows Aykroyd to give some much-needed background to the origins of the act he and Belushi developed. It also serves as a lead-in to live footage, the real appeal of the video, which is an anthology of Saturday Night Live performances (including the first one where they were dressed in Killer Bees costumes), and concert footage from the 1979 U.S. tour. A must-have for Blues Brothers fans, the DVD also includes an instructional video for those who want to learn blues harmonica. --Jim Gay

I loved this DVD. All kinds of stuff I have never seed. I loved the stories from the band. Great footage. I don't know why some people are so hard on this. I loved it and if you are a fan of the Blues Brothers you will love it too. Enjoy~I did and will again....

It doesn't get much better than this.....here is the final compendium on the BBs.....Chicago and Toronto, Belushi and Akroyd, Blues and Blues.......all those bits you thought you would never see again.....but here they are. Don't think, don't read further, just get it and enjoy it whenever you want.
This is a full catalog of all the classics....you can't go wrong on this one.

I'm a huge BB fan but while the DVD was good, it could have been great. Specifically, the audio mixing was lean. The sound was missing the richness that the BB's are known for. Likewise, although I'm not one to crank the bass, the bass was too light.Another complaint is the goofy discussions with Dan Akroyd between songs. Fairly cheesy. It would have been better to add the discussions with Dan as a Special Feature rather than between songs. Furthermore, the songs tended to abrubtly start during the second or third bar of the song. Why not at the beggining of the song? Nonetheless, if you're a die hard BB fan you'll enjoy it.

I really enjoyed the footage of the Blues Brothers and can not expand on the good points raised in the other reviews. A must for all fans. But where are the Harmonica instructions that are advertised? I did not find them. The DVD is still a must own.
