These two DVDs contain selected highlights of some of the many films shot over the last 21 years of 'Bob watching'. All of this film was shot by the same two people, but without the help of far too many others to mention, many of these magic moments would not have been captured. Though all the selections are a purely personal choice, upon viewing it should become obvious why most were chosen. Witness the sheer power and joy of Bob crashing through an absolutely amazing version of I Want You (Hammersmith 1990). Hopefully you'll feel the same sense of joy and fun that we did while filming these incredible moments.

Different years, different quality, but always enjoyable. Worth having!
*Unfortunately, If Not For You is not mentioned on most of the artwork
I simply did not like it
the sound quality is too bad on most of the tracks
so that it would immensely benefit from
a sound upgrade....
Otherwise it is a nice live compilation,
as pointed out by the other reviewers.

I find this review a hard one to do - Why?
Because it quite obviously has been a labour of love by those responsible for making it - both in their videoing of the concerts and also in the editing if the chosen material but here goes.
First the negatives - well i got what i expected some fuzzy picture quality - to be expected on material nearly 20 years old - also some of the sound was difficult to hear again to be expected.
What about the positives - these far outwiegh the 2 negatives mentioned.
1) Song selection - excellent starting of with my favorite track - Jokerman.
2) Guess appearances - George Harrison, Van Morrison and Carl Perkins - first time i had seen the performance with C.P in - really enjoyed it.
3) The rare tracks chosen - one i had never even heard before never mind seen - Girl From The Green Brier Shore
Other gems were - Trail Of The Buffalo, Disease Of Conceit, Wiggle, Wiggle, Yea, Heavy And A Bottle Of Bread and of course Matchbox.
Overall i really enjoyed this and if it was based on content only i would give this 5*****'s but that's life.
For those who have not got or who are not waiting for this through the tree arrangement look out for a freebie offer soon.
Thank you to those responsible - I look forward to vol 2.
