I was so disappointed with this film. I search out and buy everything I can find on Baden Powell. Most of the time, sadly the result is pretty bad but this one is almost unwatchable. I gave this a 3 only because it is about Baden Powell and there is not that much out there on him. Otherwise I would have sunk it to a one.

This director was more fascinated with filming Powell's eyeglasses, mustache and leg scratching then in giving us good visuals of a great guitar player. So much was lost in this film. It is a terrible shame since Powell is gone that this guy squandered this chance to document his playing better.

This is art gone wild and horribly astray

This must be the DVD that was launched in Brazil under the title "O velho amigo" (the old friend). The Director is the same. I was very disappointed with it, too, like one of the other reviewers. It doesn't have much footage of Baden playing. The title "Live" is deceiving. It's just a documentary and a bad one at that. A film of a live concert would have been much better.

Excelent performance, say no more. For those who love Baden Powell, this is a oustanding recording. Truly recommended.
