 Just listen to John's voice September 20, 2008
Odar Chuy (Trujillo, Peru)
One of the greatest works made by John. Simple, direct, honest.
Listening to John's naked voice from outtakes of this disc is delightful. It is impossible not to feel his talent and humanity.
Very interesting comments from engineers and from Yoko, but very few 'new material' for die-hard fans.
John Lennon was a genious and a wonderful human being.

Best Lennon documentary yet September 5, 2008
MusicFan101 (Washington, D.C.)
I love this dvd! I got it 3 days ago and have watched it in it's entirety three times. It could be better... at one point Elliot Mintz nearly ruined the whole thing IMO, at the end when he says "I've always said only that which is real survives and John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band was REAL", or something to that effect, repeating an almost sickingly constant theme of the show that this album was "raw" and "real". Mintz is so amazingly cheesey and lame when he says this, and he looks so un-real which makes his statement even worse! He looks like he's made out of plastic!! His skin looks like it has than artificial tan stuff on it and his hair looks like a wig off a mannequin. Ringo saves the vibe though when he follows this with very kind words of John and thoughts of their friendship before it ends. But throughout the show Mintz never says anything even slightly original or interesting. He looks so bizarre and is so uninformative I have no clue why he was in this at all. Also Yoko says some good things, but comes off a bit annoying as she talks about herself in this as much as she talks about John. Another annoying moment is when the song Mother is playing, only to be interrupted with the talking of Dr.Janov who proceeds to misquote the song saying "I had you, you never had me" changing the meaning of the actual lyric "you had me, I never had you".
That being said this is the best Lennon video to date IMO, better than other docs such as Give Peace a Song, Imagine John Lennon or Lennon vs the U.S. The positives are the interviews with Klaus Voorman and Ringo Starr who are both very insightful and have great comments throughout. The show does a great job of setting up the period and what was going on with Lennon at the time and what led up to the making of this album, and slip in some additional great songs in the process by discussing the singles he made just prior to the album (Give Peace a Chance, Cold Turkey and Instant Karma). The engineers are good. The songs are great! The songs really focused on are Mother, Working Class Hero, Isolation and God, all among my very most favorite ever. Hearing the song broken down is very cool. The bonus material is excellent, highlighted by full performances of Mother from MSG and Instant Karma from Top of the Pops. This is truely Lennon at his peak. I would recommend this strongly to anyone new to Lennon but interested, as well as the most devout fans.
Fantastic! July 8, 2008

Just Wanna say I Love This Film, I had it saved on my DVR, but then realized this was to great a show, I want the whole thing plus the bonus's. Awesome!
VH1 - Classic Albums Version doesn't have at least 30min of the Original.
A must buy June 25, 2008
K. Croteau
Huge Lennon fan here who has seen it all. This period in particular is well documented through visual and audio recordings in John's own words. But I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. And to see the original session tapes and hear John's vocal up in the mix or at times naked by itself created chills up my spine. Get this now! Peace...
