Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

philip-225 I was only 2 in 1969 when the concert took place, so obviously I didn't see it then. A couple of years ago my wife (who hadn't seen it either)hired the DVD and we sat down with open minds. We weren't disappointed.The music itself is excellent. Jon Lord broke new ground with this work, proving that the worlds of pop and classical music really aren't that far apart. I know that Paul McCartney and others have proved that many times since, but back in 1969 there was probably a lot more snobbery about classical music. So it's very much to Malcolm Arnold's credit that the concert went ahead.The DVD is 1st rate, with excellent photography and a very revealing and entertaining commentary by JL, in which he highlighted a number of problems that had to be overcome along the way, like a lady musician who "didn't join the RPO to play 'Second-hand Beatles music'". Obviously the technical quality of the picture isn't quite as good as it would be now, but you have to remember that colour television was in its infancy. The sound has been beautifully re-mastered too.

a.krull This really must be one of the best concerts that Deep Purple ever played. I haven't seen the "remake" they did in 2000 and I don't really want to! It's been ten years more] since I last saw the film or listened to the music and I've been searching all over for a copy of the concert on VHS or DVD. Can't seem to find it. If you [who ever reads this!] know how to get a copy of the film, please contact me at once!Brilliant performance by both bands, a wonderful concert. See it now!!... (if you can find it :)
