Expensive Proposition.....

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2010

I tried to buy some of these Midnight Special dvd's by mail when thy were advertized on tv. They offered you 1 free if you paid $10 for the first dvd. They charge you another $5 per disc for shipping & handling for a total of $20 after which you must agree to let them send you 2 dvd's per month for the rest of your life at $40 plus per month. I must admit that the picture and sound are quite remarkable but the bad thing is that you only get 1 or 2 songs by the artists you like most and a bunch of other music by artists you never cared much for. These dvds could have been much nicer if 4 or 5 songs had been featured by each artist and if the dvd's named the specific artists featured so that the buyer could choose the music most suitable to their liking. Instead you get a variety show mix of performances where you like 1 or 2 songs and pan the rest of the stuff. As my collection of dvd's grew, I realized that I only liked about 10 or 12 performances out of the whole stack and the rest was music that I doubt if I would ever watch again. For those who like a variety show format and have a lot of money, Midnight Special is for you..

The ultimate blast from the past

I purchased this item as an anniversary gift for my husband, and only after exhausting every other gift idea imaginable. I figured that at least we could watch and remember the "good old days". The videos arrived promptly and we sat down and watched the first one. OMG!! What a hoot! We had more fun just watching the performers (how young Ann Murray looked!!) and wondering why performers in 1973 appear to sweat profusely on the stage, while performers in 2010 do not. The clothes, the hair, the platform heels....oh the memories this stirred!! For people who spell their age with an "F", this is the must have video set of the decade! The comedian performers somehow do not seem to be as funny as they were in the 70's, but the musical acts showcased on each video is pure gold. Buy it. You won't regret it.

Awesome Product

I ordered this set for my son, who had borrowed some of these discs from his friend. He was very pleased with the item. He was disappointed, however, because some of his friends discs were missing or scratched. I saw this whole set on Amazon and couldn't believe the great price! Naturally, I ordered them for him and he is thrilled! He tells me all the time how great they are. The items arrived very quickly and the set is in perfect condition! I would definitely shop with this seller again.

Amazing Music, High Quality Audio & Video, but You Can Buy This Direct for $139.00 Elsewhere

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2011

This is an amazing product. I own the entire set. My parents (of all people) bought it for me two years ago. Each DvD features amazing performances by the best artists of the 70s. Some performances are legendary and by artists who died soon after filming (like Marvin Gaye). This set is valuable. It's resale value will always be high on ebay (go check for yourself) and just look at the price here! However, you can purchase the entire set direct from the midnight special website at www dot midnightspecial dot com for 139.99 + $10 s/h. It's still pretty steep, but its well worth it.

If you buy it for yourself and you really love this music, you'll watch them over and over again. they're amazing--they really are that good! If you're buying it for a 70's themed party that's cool too. You'll easily be able to sell the entire set at auction sites or here for more than you paid for it!

Enjoy!

Love the music, but you have to choose each song on the DVD's. Would rather have one song flow into the next. Otherwise it's great, a real blast from the past!

Wish the quality was better, but that's all they had at the time. It great for a party. There is something for everyone.

I enjoyed every dvd, but you cut out a lot of groups I wanted to see. For one example the Atlanta Rhythm Section, I did not see a performance they did. Why?
