An important record of what took place. It's all about African culture. Nice to see on and off stage shots of my own favourites - Ali, JB, Ray Barretto, Nicky Marrero.
Nice to see informal shots of Sister Sledge rehersing.
Some interesting footage of the logistical problems in setting up the show.

The very disappointing thing about this Blu R'ay is the small amount of the actual concert/festival footage. The restoration of the main film is great and audio faultless. The stuff that is included is totally funky brilliant stuff, this catches and Sister sledge when they were doin' the funk before they went over to disco. James Brown - do I really need to say anythang! After watching the extras the director explains that the lack of concert footage is due to the lack of funding available and that he hoped interest in this film would encourage the wheels of capitalism to fund the editing of the rest of the festival if he could prove there would be a market for it.....come oooon.... thats lame..like there is no market for James Brown, BB king, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Bill Withers and Ray Barretto!!! Get the rest of the footage packaged up and released NOW! This film left me wanting....no needing to see and hear the rest of it! Worth watching but it needs the rest to be released to be complete

Controversy rages.... a scandalous oversight. As soon as it was known this DVD was in the pipeline, REAL music fans were already asking the big question - FRANCO. It's well known that Le Grand Maitre Franco played this gig - it was his home city after all. But what do we get? Just 1m40s of the clearest live footage you'll ever see of Franco and TPOK Jazz at their very peak. AAAAAGGGGHHHH! Talk about a missed opportunity.......
C'mon Masters of Cinema - have some guts for goodness sake. Go and have a chat with Sterns or somebody and put out an entire DVD of the Franco footage which must exist... go on, you know it makes sense!

Not what I expected
This is a movie about making a musical festival Zaire 74, which accompanied the fight Ali-Foreman. It is nowhere near When We Were Kings. And there isn't a lot of music here. Read more
