5.0 out of 5 stars Great Documentary.....Now, March 24, 2004

This review is from: A Song for You (DVD)

In light of the reviews posted on this site, I would like to start with, "calm down everyone, the sync has be corrected".

I purchased this DBD February 2004 and was not dissapointed. The previous "out of sync problem" has definitely been corrected.

I love this walk down the memory lane of Leon Russell's career. It is a MUST for every Leon fan and I have been watching it every chance I get. This is an exceptional compilation of clips spanning his entire career, on stage, in the studio and at home.

My only criticism would be that the narration occasionally steps on the beginning of a clip, as in the case of shootout on the plantation.

I hope there is enough material for another Leon DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did anybody see this DVD before "reviewing" it?, July 30, 2002

This review is from: A Song for You (DVD)

I'm writing this on July 30th, the day of it's release. I drove 25 miles to Tower Records because they're the only place that had it, and being the Leon fan I am, I HAD to have it today. Of the 25 songs on the DVD, not one shows Leon singing that particular song. "Out-of-sync" doesn't descibe it. All the footage, for every song is footage and clips from different, unrelated performances. The most annoying thing I've ever seen. This is so awful I returned it to Tower immediately, and they were kind enough to take care of me. I believe this will damage Leon's reputation, as anyone who cares enough to purchase it will be sorely disappointed. I'm keeping my name anonymous, as I've met Leon many times, he will recognize my name, and don't want him to be angry with me in case he is sanctioning this, yet I now believe after watching this DVD that it's probably not an authorized product. I should have known something was wrong, when at the beginning of the program they were flashing Leon's many credits, and across the screen came the words: "Roll Away The Stone" was recorded by Mott The Hoople. THAT is a different "Roll Away The Stone", NOT Leon's song! Beware of this DVD, for a Leon fan, it's not going to be something you're going to want to own. I'd have given it 0 stars if that had been a choice.

I can't express what a dissapointment this is...the video looks wonderful and the presentation of current and vintage footage a dream for a long time fan ...BUT, the whole thing is ridiculously OUT OF SYNC and not by a whisker by over 5 seconds!!!! this is worse than a Godzilla movie...until these folks recall this garbage and re-manufacture ..BUYERS BE WARE!!
