4.0 out of 5 stars The Way They Were - Totally Incredible, 7 Feb 2001
By S. GODFREY "Stuart" (Risca, South Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It's great to see this film (once thought lost forever) widely available again. Originally planned for the BBC "Omnibus" programme, it only had a limited cinema release as even in the early Seventies, the Incredible String Band were something of a minority interest: even loyal fans had been sorely tried by the surreal parable "U" and the glory days of "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter" seemed long gone. What we get here though, is a wonderul testament to an extraordinary band: some early concert footage (Robin and Mike telling the story of Noah and the Dove, a bit of "Mercy I Cry City" and some tasty duelling guitars on "See All the People), a couple of excellent studio tracks ("All Writ Down" and the majestic "Iron Stone"), some very amusing "of-their-time" interviews and a totally hysterical "fable" in fancy dress with rubbish props. Its all quite amazing, Incredible in fact. Well worth getting if you recall the String Band with any degree of affection - The Iron Stone alone is worth the price of the video - but essential for their ever-growing league of fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be Glad for the ISB!, 25 Feb 2009
By Greywolf (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Incredible String Band: Be Glad for the Song Has No Ending [DVD] [2002] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Way back in the 1970s, I met someone who claimed to have seen this film in a village hall halfway up a mountain in North Yorkshire during a rainstorm. Decades spun by and I despaired of ever seeing it myself. Then, lo and behold, a VHS release, followed by DVD. Yay! I now have both.
Be warned that this film is a very hippy artefact, replete with much long hair adorning both men and women, many strange and flowered costumes, much fey dialogue, peace and love. Personally, having been 14 in 1967, I love all this stuff. In my youth, I longed to hitchhike to Scotland and join the Incredible String Band in the Edinburgh idyll this film so lovingly documents. Seeing Mike and Robin, Rose and Licorice and their friends looning through the heather in fairytale dress making mystical gestures reminds me why I had that dream. The whole atmosphere of the film sings of the blissful possibilities we all believed in then. Cynicism had no place in the ISB universe, nor has it any place in this review. Oh yes, and the musical sections are great, there are bucket-loads of wonderful, whacky humour on display and the whole thing is a joyous reminder of wonderful times and of a truly great, truly original, truly incredible string band.
