Format:DVD
This 3 disc DVD set comprises previously released titles, repackaged and retitled.
Disc 1 is a critical overview of The Kinks, from 1964-1978, the same material as The Kinks 'Music in Review' DVD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kinks-Music-Review/dp/B0009OJ92C/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1209763783&sr=1-13
This is the least interesting of the discs, featuring various critics voicing their opinions on the band.
Disc 2 is The Kinks 'In Performance', exactly as the 'Live Broadcasts' DVD, featuring live footage of The Kinks from various TV shows in the 70's and 80's. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kinks-Live-Broadcasts/dp/B000FOT6X8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1209763775&sr=1-8
Disc 3 is the same as The Kinks 'In Their Own Words', featuring interviews with Dave Davies, John Gosling, John Dalton and Mick Avory.

Discs 1 and 3 feature clips from the same performances as on disc 2, which has the full versions.
Providing you don't already own the previously released, individual versions of these discs (see links provided) this set represents excellent value, allowing you to buy all 3 in one package.
At the time of writing, this set is £5.97 on Amazon, and is worth this for the 'Live Broadcasts' DVD alone. Individually, this DVD is currently being sold by Amazon for £11.99!

Just o.k.
15 Sep 2008
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Only one of the 3 DVD's is worth having in this bunch.However,on that one(interviews with band members and Dave Davies,the ultra-heavy English accents of the speakers is difficult to understand at times.The other 2 DVD's duplicate the performances and the commentary of the other people on the discs is very much meaningless.Rating their hits and saying what millions of people have said millions of times doesn't seem very entertaining.I was not impressed with this DVD pack.
