4.0 out of 5 stars
The 60s was not all Woodstock!, June 9, 2002
This review is from: Hullabaloo, Vols. 5-8 (DVD)
Some of this is almost too good to be true: Brian Epstein interviewing Andrew Loog Oldham, the Kinks, the Animals, the Rolling Stones, the Remains, the Zombies, the Beau Brummels, Marianne Faithfull --- it's hard to know whwre to stop! The David McCallum episode alone is worth the price. Even the bad stuff --- Hullabaloo dancers trying to break into recording, Peter Noone singing Dylan, Frankie and Annette doing the Freddie with Freddie and the Dreamers etc. --- is charming. And kudos to the company for not doing a "highlights" package and giving us entire episodes. If any part of your youth is in the 60s, you'll want to open a cold beer and press "play". Warning: it's insanely addictive, and you'll end up losing a few hours sleep. A real treat.

4.0 out of 5 stars
hullabaloo dvd vols. 5-8, July 20, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Hullabaloo, Vols. 5-8 (DVD)
although the picture quality is not so good (master tapes were no longer available), the digital sound is superb. these series of hullabaloo t.v. shows are far better than the "shindig" vhs special collection series. the shows are well balanced in terms of mixture of guests, dances, songs, skits, background sets versus that of "shindig" which is inferior. the running time of almost 5 hours is worth the price of the dvd and you get to watch well-known hosts who does not only introduce guests but perform, narrates, plays skits as well. each show has a lot of prominent guests and the show is well scripted, well prepared and has a good mixture of song, dances and comedy skits. this collection is a must for the teeny boppers of the 50s and 60s.

Petula Clark Preserved, August 27, 2001
This review is from: Hullabaloo, Vols. 5-8 (DVD)
This DVD Is a must for PETULA CLARK fans.It features the episode in which she was the first hostess in 1965 ,and she can be seen singing her hits "I know a place" and "Round every corner".The production is if course very dated ,and the picture quality is not brilliant ,but as good as you can get from the original source
