This video was great, but I think you would have to already be a Lone Justice fan to appreciate it. Maria McKee is very high energy as a performer, and quite sexy too. Between this and their first album, they seemed to be on the verge of making a name for themselves, but they kind of disappeared, unfortunately. I'm also a little confused by the other review posted here.

This 1987 release by Geffen Home Video features a live performance of rock band Lone Justice w/ lead sinder Maria McKee on December 13th, 1986 at The Ritz in New York City. Songs performed on this 35 minute video are I Found Love, Ways to be Wicked, Wheels, Shelter, Belfry, East of Eden, and Don't Toss Us Away.

Hope this helps!

The release dates in the spec's are way off.
I think this is the reason for the comments in the second review. The release date is 1987 for the December 1986 concert.
I agree that the cover photo should be pictured. Several western movies had this name. If this is the real thing, I give it a 5. I had the original concert off MTV or VH1 and bought the VHS tape when I found it. Looks like none of her other work made it to DVD athough I have 2 of her CD's.

This episode is the first of the Ned Blessing TV movies. It is not as good as the ones that followed. However, only because of Baldwin being in it. Not a good actor. It's worth watching however. The story is good enough and the other actors are also good. Recommend if you are a western fan. Also get the ones that continue the story. They are worth watching.

Bought it from Amazon and watched it till the end just to be cut short with untimely and abrupt end !!! The film is good but the ending is not what i expect from western movie. There was no climax at all, the bad won over the good till the end. Is there 2nd part of this film ?

I also Found this Title to be in top like new condition. I am pleased with the speed in receiving the product & glad I can add it to my Ned Blessing collection

I just finished watching Ned Blessing The True Story of My Life
and enjoyed it very much, I too wonder how it ends. If it is a TV pilot then bring it on, We need more interesting story lines on television then just Law and Order, CSI's the world over, that seem to be always on the air ways. Too many soap operas night and day not to mention reality shows. As for the previous review, the Ned Blessing The True Story of My Life I watched starred Danial Baldwin not Stephen, maybe that is why you did not enjoy it. This movie was not by any means an Oscar winner but very enjoyable to just sit down relax and be entertained for a few minutes.

This is an augmented television pilot, not advertised as being so, with an abrupt ending distressing to a viewer who might be so unfortunate as to still be watching a production insulting to any with a modicum of intelligence, due to a storyline that makes no pretense at logic, rather instead stringing together a structure of episodes each more foolish than that preceding, with essentially no sense of continuity. It would seem that the primary purpose of this affair is to demonstrate the costuming talents of Michael Boyd, whose work is often very effective, but here only grotesque, as surely never were denizens of the Old West so brightly raimented in such an array of heterogeneous colours, with all garments seemingly impervious to even a scantling of soil. Director Peter Werner ("We Were The Mulvaneys") and scriptor William Witliff ("Country"; "Barbarosa") are accomplished craftsmen and it is difficult to accept this clichéd and terminally stupid composition as handiwork from either, a possible explanation being preparation and production interference for what purportedly became a popular television series based upon the lead character from this film, Ned Blessing (Daniel Baldwin). There is innovative camerawork, crisp editing, and some fine players earning credit for their skill at delivering their lines with straight face, but the plot provides nothing in the way of character development or plausible motivation, yet offers perhaps the most protracted and cartoonish scene of meaningless violence ever shot.

If this truly is a "Lone Justice" video, it needs clarification as such, with the addition of a picture of the video, band name, and song listings, otherwise it is a generic listing that could be any live video!!

If I were a buyer, I would be VERY reluctant to purchase it, as even the sellers do not reveal anything about the video other than its condition???
