1.0 out of 5 stars Decieving, October 17, 2003

By 

Roger (Castles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Harrison, George - Quiet One (DVD)

I bought this DVD and I just watched it once and I would of returned it if I could and get something else. Why? well, because I hate to be decieved by this kind of oportunities companies putting together a few things and releasing a product so superficial and that doesn't represent George at all.
So let's analize this DVD in three points:

* The interviews: well, it's just interesting George Martin and Paul McCartney, both of them appears for 5 minutes in the whole thing, and some old interviews by The Beatles. The rest is related by a childhood friend of George who probably spent 10 minutes playing soccer with him and that's it. I mean, he's not the most autorizhated person to talk about Harrison for almost an hour, right? So he bores you actually.

* The music: YOU WON'T LISTEN TO ONE SONG BY GEORGE HARRISON or THE BEATLES. Believe it or not. The only soundtracks here is by some British forgottable "mersey-beat-like" sixties band, which is insulting !!!!! since they show you glimpses of The Beatles performing live with that stupid song playing. This is the part that I hate the most about this DVD. The Story of a Musician including NOTHING of his music.

* The story: well, it doesn't tell you anything. You don't get a clue of his musical life. Just interviews here and there. Suddenly in the middle of something, an interview with the Beatles where they talk about getting the MBE and next thing his childhood friend talking about a particular memory when they were kids.
HIS post-beatle musical career DOESN'T EXIST here!!! You don't know about the Concert For Bangla-Desh, for example. UNREAL.
Suddenly from being a Beatle it skips to the NEWS about him being attacked in December, 1999.

I'm a Fan, and I know very well his story and music. But my reason to be SO UPSET at this "Let's Make Money With The Artist's Death" DVD, it's because for someone who doesn't know him well and wants to take a peek at this genius' life, will end up bored and confused.

1.0 out of 5 stars An absolute disgrace, October 17, 2003

By 

Jo Mac (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Harrison, George - Quiet One (DVD)

You know you're in trouble when the back cover reads:

"This is an unofficial programme which does not seek to represent the George Harrison Estate, Apple Inc. or any other official body associated with George Harrison. This programme does not contain the music or performances of The Beatles or George Harrison."

Add to that the false advertising:
DVD Running Time approximately 75 minutes
--> Try 57 minutes when the credits roll

I'm taking my copy back to my store for a refund. It is certainly not worth the purchase price - I might buy it if it was $5.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what it says, January 4, 2003

Richard Z - See all my reviews

This review is from: Harrison, George - Quiet One (DVD)

I only have listened to the audio cd, tho I have read an review of the DvD itself, ofcourse just after I already bought it.I still think some warning should be placed. Regarding the Audio cd, on the back it is stated that you get about 60 minutes of interviews with George, what you get is about 30 minutes of wortheless Beatle covers, not even George's songs! And one made up piece called "In Spite Of All The Danger" which doesn't sound at all like the Beatles song with the same name! What I read of the DvD itself is that it has little to do with George also, and based on the audio cd I believe that.The release date isn't right also, it is already in the shops, which I sadly found out today.Save yourself the money go listen to George's albums instead.
