2.0 out of 5 stars
.............don't get burnt like I did!, February 27, 2000
This review is from: Merle Haggard - In Concert (DVD)
This DVD is a compilation of three different concerts of the Hag, two set in the early 80's and one in the 70's. That is the type of sound quality you get here, very poor quality......they advertise it as digital sound but don't be fooled. The video aspect is also poor quality, one concert shot in a football stadium in the middle of a sunny day makes for a very boring lack-lustre ambience. This one should have stayed in VHS format. This DVD is an Insult to the people that expect Quality material out of their new investment. The Hag has done some excellent "real digital" concerts lately, surely the producers at Brentwood Video will replace this DVD with a Quality Product!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Great Idea! - Bad Editing!, April 18, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Merle Haggard - In Concert (DVD)
finally! a Merle Haggard DVD - yeee-haw!
Including ALL 3 videos previously released in full all on one DVD disc.
what a great idea!
BUT
unfortunately the package is misleading!
All 3 videos are there , but they have been edited.
some songs have been ommitted.
I went searching for particular parts only to find myself wondering how I could have missed it. Well I didn't miss it because it isn't there.
you can even tell where the cuts were made if you watch closely.
overall it is Merle Haggard and there is no other DVD available so this is all you can get excited over
Be forewarned that all 3 videos have been edited.
they are not the same as the original vhs releases.
Merle gets 5 stars
this release gets 3 stars just for getting it on DVD.
otherwise it is only 2 stars
without this release there would be no Merle on DVD.
so I guess we should be thankful we got this!
until a better release comes along

Very Dissappointed..........frankly a rip-off, March 4, 2004
This review is from: Merle Haggard - In Concert (DVD)
As a lifelong fan of the Hag and a viewer of many of his concerts both in person and on the tube, I was very dissappointed with this compilation. The sound and video quality is a total insult to any DVD owner that expects good quality for his/her investment. In this day and age of digital video and sound there is no excuse for over-marketing this trash. I have never watched it after my initial trial run.
