This Is *Not* the 1973 Rock Revival Concert Movie, October 1, 2003
This review is from: Let the Good Times Roll [VHS] (VHS Tape)
There are two movies with nearly identical titles: "Let the Good Times Roll!" (1973) and "Let the Good Times Roll" (1991). The former, a rock revival film, is not available on home video so far as I know. (Neither is "The Panic in Needle Park" from 1971, which also breaks my heart.)
The 1991 movie for sale on Amazon is about the New Orleans Jazz Festival. I ordered it here in Vancouver, thinking that it was the 1973 movie I had loved for so long. This ain't that movie; it is, however, quite entertaining in its own right. It features interviews with the founders/organizers of the Jazz Fest and many, many acts. I've never been to the Jazz Fest (been to NO exactly once) but feel I would know what to expect were I to go.
If the 1973 picture ever comes out on video, I'll let you know (I would pay $100 for it).

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL 1973, December 21, 2004
This review is from: Let the Good Times Roll [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If the 1973 version ever comes out..Somebody please let me know! It was filmed in COBO HALL in Detroit. I was there right by the stage. I once saw it on a special on TV and saw myself. A local radio station gave away tickets..nobody was hardly there. Little Richard called for everyone to come to the stage. There were The Shirelles, Danny & the Jrs.etc. Great Memories!
