I should have known better--and now at least you all will be warned.

All this DVD has is a collection of the same clips and interviews taken from this company's other DVD releases "Lennon The Messenger", "Harrison The Quiet One", and "Beatles Big Beat Box". So, some of the good Harrison stuff is on here, but not all of it by any means. This is just kind of like a sampler disc of the other three DVDs. Same horrible quality on the Beatles clips and Messenger samples as before. A cheap, underhanded attempt to keep re-packaging and re-name the same sludge over and over. Of course there is plenty of time and space that this could have included all the content from all three of those other titles, but no, this is still just an hour like the others. In many ways that is still an hour too long. Same old stuff on the audio CD too.

I can't believe the cost either! All of these DVDs should be bargain basement priced for what you get. I wish there had been a review before I bought this, because I wouldn't have. Now you know, avoid anything this studio puts out.

This is the worst video I have ever seen. There is no apparent structure, it rambles on from one point in time to another. All of the music is some awful band the producer of this thing is in. The only "interview" they got is with someone who knew George in elemenary school! I was diappointed at the least and feel ripped off. Had to warn others: DO NOT BUY THIS!

I bought this because of the price and I got what I paid for! If you love the Beatles and enjoy any footage shot in the early years, you might like some of this. There is no setup for "The Journey." The editing is amateurish with some segments lasting way too long like the grueling Mark Chapman interview recalling the moments before and after he killed Lennon. The clips are just not that interesting. My impression is that the producer(s) had access to some third-rate archival footage and decided to make a buck. IF you can make it through to the end (I fast-forwarded a lot!) you'll see the self-serving end credits listing some songs and instrumental scoring performed by the people that produced the video. Don't buy this!
