4.0 out of 5 starsAn absolute must for Blind Faith fans
By Book Buddy on July 24, 2006
Format: DVD
If it is true that Sanctuary is not releasing this DVD in the United States due to contractual problems, that is very unfortunate for Blind Faith fans. This is probably the only footage one will ever see of this group, so if you're a fan, you will want to see this DVD. Amazon UK sells this DVD but you must have a DVD player that plays PAL. So do yourself a favor, buy a DVD player that can play both NTSC and PAL, not just to play this DVD, but for so many other DVDs that are only available in the PAL format because they aren't released in the U.S. for whatever reason. Various electronic companies on the Internet sell these type of machines, so get one now, open yourself up to the world of PAL DVDs!

Now to the DVD itself. Blind Faith probably should have waited until they had more songs in their repertoire before they started touring because they really didn't have many of their own songs under their belt yet. So their actual set for this concert is only about 40 minutes or so. Before we actually see the concert, there is an introduction that discusses the musical climate of the time and the background of the members of Blind Faith. The footage is crisp and the colors are beautiful. The editing of the concert footage is fine, luckily we really don't get that horrible MTV style with the super quick edits that makes one want to vomit.

I felt that the group played very well considering this was their first concert. Winwood and Baker were outstanding, they seemed to be really into it. Clapton and Grech looked like zombies but they played well. Grech was an excellent bass player who probably doesn't get enough recognition nowadays.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsKeep the technical aspects in perspective
By Hardy Melville on February 9, 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I understand the technical complaints made by some here, and wish the footage was shot differently. But it is what it is, and the perspective I have mentioned is this was a shortlived band but an incredibly talented one, with this being the only available video material. I think the music holds up extremely well, and the differences from the album they put out make this that much more interesting, particularly the different, electric version of Can't Find My Way Home, plus the tracks not on the album, including a rousing rendition of Stevie's Means to an End, the blues Sleeping in the Ground (Winwood had a great voice for the blues - it is too bad he didn't sing blues more often), and a great version of the Stones' Under My Thumb.

Looking back at Blind Faith, I feel particularly nostalgic and regretful about it. I was and remain a huge fan of Cream and the Traffic both before and after Blind Faith, but feel that Clapton got off track when he left England to go with Delaney and Bonnie and eventually the Dominoes, as that period coincided with his decline into drug use, which began before he left. Clapton never played with a vocalist who equaled Winwood, and it is wonderful watching him focus on the accompanist role as he does here. Baker is more restrained, tasteful and effective than in Cream here, and that is no knock on his Cream performances. Traffic was great, but Winwood never had the quality of bandmates for live performance he had here. It really was a shame Blind Faith did not stay together, and I am not sure I understand why they did not. Seeing this video makes me wish again they had, with all the great music that definitely would have brought.

I disagree with those who have criticized Winwood's vocal performance here.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsLower Your Expectations
By Michael Burton on September 24, 2006
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The film is disappointing, with terrible, twitchy camera work and editing. (I thought perhaps I was just getting stodgy in my old age, but a clip from an earlier Cream concert included among the DVD extras assured me that even in those long-ago days, there WERE people who knew how to shoot a concert video.)

By contrast, the audio quality during the concert is good. The DVD cover says the sound is stereo. It sounded like mono to me.

The concert itself is frustrating. This show is a precious memory to those where were there, a legend to those who were not, unheard for almost 40 years, and... well, it's not that great. These are all solid professional musicians, but the performances here seem tentative and uninspired. They certainly don't hold a candle to the performances on the album.

Nothing I say will dissuade real Blind Faith devotees from getting this DVD. Nothing I've said would have dissuaded me. Just don't get your expectations too high, and you can enjoy this.

Track list:
Well All Right
Sea of Joy
Sleeping in the Ground
Under My Thumb
Can't Find My Way Home
Do What You Like
Presence of the Lord
Means to an End

4.0 out of 5 starsBLIND FAITH IN THE PARK
By AH on August 14, 2006
Format: DVD
I'll say from the outset that, if you are a Clapton or Baker or Winwood fan, this DVD is a treasure to own. It's a great treat to see the band up close and the songs have stood the test of time well. The bands sound good save for a few flat notes from Winwood's singing, but overall they do a good job and it's great to see them perform. The DVD quality is not up to current standards but it's amazing that the concert footage survived all these years. Although strange for their first concert, it is nonetheless cool that someone had the intelligence to film the band back then. You'll be dissappointed, certainly, if you expect it to be perfect. It's got the usual 60's psychotic-maniac production-the film crew taping everything but the band half the time. You see the park, trees, a plane, the waterway, people walking, people dizzed out of their minds either sitting and staring aimlessly or dancing around as if someone had dropped a hungry scorpion down their pants. The cameramen love to zoom in and out of hands, arms, faces, just for the thrill I guess, so be prepared to ignore the wild photography and cheap affects and then you will enjoy the video. Gosh, if only they had used ALL of the cameras that day to focus in on the band, especially Eric and Ginger...sigh! The thing I like is that it's daylight and you can actually see the band, the equipment, the stage, the facial expressions, all without the psychodelic images that usually plague the old concerts. The sound quality is good for something this old. You might ask yourself, "What does a Telecaster guitar with a beat up Strat neck-attached sound like"? I wondered about this too. Well, it sounds like, ah, a Stato-Tele-caster thing. I guess Eric didn't quite plan on 100,000 possessed fans to show up, not to mention the film crew.Read more ›
