Rock and Roll!!!,
By Phil S. (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encore Series: Bill Haley and His Comets (DVD)
Called his "Final Tour", you'd be surprised that it is presumeably from the late 1970s, as Bill rocks and rolls with nearly all the intensity he showed way back when in the Alan Freed films.Earlier B. H. movie appearances were from the early '70s, festival excerpts in Let The Good Times Roll and The London Rock And Roll Show - fun to watch but nothing to revisit too often. The later video appearance, though technically substandard, is a full performance with alot of pop. The serious fan might be disheartened to see no original back-up players, possibly save one, but these cats cook up a storm! "Rudy's Rock" is a great rendition and tribute to the legendary sax man. You really get a sense of what thrilled the fans back in the '50s when you watch Bill in a complete set (Though I didn't care for the reprise of the segment of "When The Saints Go Rockin' In". If they wanted to expand the set with another recorded track from the show, I think "Rock Around The Clock" was the one). "Me And Bobby McGee" is a nice addition to a very satisfying (and low-priced!) program.

Real Rock & Roll,

This review is from: Encore Series: Bill Haley and His Comets (DVD)
Bill Haley & His Comets was one of the first Rock & Roll bands. Was really great to see them perform on DVD. Wish they had more of these DVD's by him.

Bill's final overseas tour, without the original Comets:,

This review is from: Encore Series: Bill Haley and His Comets (DVD)
The quality of the DVD is great & as for the show, Bill was very enjoyable to watch. Usually he would only sing a few songs & would let his band and other local people preform most of the show, but, this time, he sang most of the songs. The Comets were young (except for two of them), but they did a great job backing Bill. When Bill was on the road, he had his own Comets with him & he would hire others to be on stage with him. For a while, he would also hire them to back him on his recordings. In the 50's we could only see our stars in the movies or on a rare TV show such as Bandstand or Ed Sullivan type shows, so we don't have too much footage of Bill Haley or any of the R & R artists of that time. This DVD is a must for all of you Haley fans despite the new Comets. +JMJ+
