As a life-long Niner fan who went to his first game 1975, I had high hopes for the DVD set but unfortunately my worst fears came true. Nearly 95% of the DVD dealt with the 1980's and 90s and very little before then.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Glory Years of the 80'2 and 90's (I went to so many of those great games). Still, something must be said about the players prior to the 1980s who played so hard during the tough times.

BEST PARTS - Bill Walsh's coaching clinic on passing. Having Bill Walsh teach you about passing is like Mozart teaching you how to write an opera. Great, insightful stuff!
Another must-see if the 50-minute documentary on Michael Zagaris whose journey took him from taking pictures at Kezar Stadium, working for RKF in '68, hanging out with rock stars to being the 49ers' offical team photograher.

WORST PART - They actually have a seperate segment on T.O. and not one on far more worthy subjects like John Brodie, Gene Washington, Cedrick Hardman, Tommy Hart, Paul Hoffer, Bill Ring nor JNimmy Johnson and Dave Wilcox, both memebers of the Hall of Fame. I would rather see classic clips from those who paved the way and paid the price than B.O., I mean, T.O.

In short, it is a history of the 49ers, just no thte complete history.

How can you have a "Complete History" of the Forty Niners with special sections on Terrell Owens and Jeff Garcia and then leave out Hall-of-Famers Jerry Rice and Steve Young? Pretty funny when you think about it--except that it really happened.

Growing up here in So Cal, I was a huge L.A. Rams fan during the 80's, so I knew first hand how great Montana was. He always took out my team. After watching the bit on Quarterbacking, by Bill Walsh, I realize now why they were so good, and we, along with the rest of the league, were not. Everything, from the foot work, to the placement of the ball so the reciever could catch it in stride. I would recomend any high school QB to watch this, there is so much to learn. As for the rest, they include the NFL Game of the Week for Super Bowl 16. Not the John Facenda Super Bowl highlight, but the 23 minute one with Harry Kalas. That, along with the 'The Catch' makes this DVD a must have.

Quarterbacking by Bill Walsh: Lessons from the Master

Where is the special content about Jerry Rice?
And the other Greits? Where are they?
But I must admit the 49ers would deserve at least a 4 DVDs package to make justice of their history!

This is a great product that does an excellent job at telling the history of the 49ers and not just the Heyday of the Montana years, but the history from the beginning, through the Brodie years and finally into the Montana Era. The best feature of this product is the 1981 NFC Championship Game between the 49ers and the Cowboys. That marked the rise of the Montana Era and the decline of the Cowboy dominance. I especially liked the player's commentary during the game. This one game was the reason why I bought this product, and I was not disappointed.

Great DVD pack, I got it for a very low price of only 9.99 so why wouldn't I buy it? Go 49ers!

Everything you ever wanted to know about Californias most successfull team by the bay. From Walsh to Rice. From Joe Montana to the original stadium before the "golden days" in candlestick. If your a fan you already own this. If your a true fan you have every game recorded already.

Great dvd...my brother really liked it...Joe Montana was a favorite of his from the heyday of the 49ers in the eighties...great buy

I couldn't ask for a better History and review of the San Francisco 49ers than this DVD presents. Thank You for the Speed, Service and Condition of this DVD. I recommend All 49er Fans to get this DVD
