There are several great Inauguration DVDs available, with great coverage. However, I specifically wanted this DVD of President Obama's Inauguration because it was from ABC News, AND it included ABC's exclusive coverage of the Neighborhood Ball. No other DVD has the Neighborhood Ball coverage, and I wanted a reliable source to capture Barack and Michelle's first dance at the ball.

They DID include the Obamas' first dance. However, they cut the dance down to one verse of "At Last"!! They SO cheated the audience of this wonderful scene. (Thus, the four stars.)

Other than that, this was a wonderful highlights video of this historic occasion. The extra interviews and other coverage were great, as well.

please check this product properly the volume is having a problem i return the first one you send to me because of volume problem and the second one is also the same

The very start of this Era/Day in the History of the United States was edited out; in that the video with the Ringing of The Bells from Saint John Church as the President Elect and Michele Obama and us viewers enjoyed the first call to service, ushered in, by on that clear winter morning so effectively announced, in the hearing those Bell being Rung!!!

This partictular dvd captures the major highlights of this historical event, Aretha Franklin sing the national anthem, Barack Obama taking the oath of office,President Obama and the first lady dancing the first dance to Beyonce singing At Last. I would recommend this dvd highly

I had missed some of the inauguration and was very pleased to see it once again. It was truly a great moment in history that may not be repeated in my life time. The video was clear and captured some interesting moments.

Buy a little history today. It is through the eyes and commentary of ABC, so if you watch another news organization you may a well buy that version. It does do a nice compressed view of the days events. There are older interviews of the Obamas before the election which are nice to watch.

Great DVD of the history making Presidential Inauguration with a lot of nice featurettes. I only wish they had shown both parade walks instead of just the first one.

Exactly 'as seen of TV'. Everything was included. Exactly what I was looking for.

This DVD is excellent. It can be used in a class or just for family showings.

We purchased this DVD as a gift, but understad from the recepient that it captures the Innuaguaration events very nicely.
