2.0 out of 5 stars be glad, but not as glad as you could be, 4 Mar 2003

By	Paul Stupple - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As someone who owned the original LP of "Be glad", I was looking forward to hearing again those great old songs (Vishangro, Come with me, All writ down) but they have not been included in this DVD. The only survivor from the LP's side 1 is a truncated "See all the people".
For the rest, the DVD is great for nostalgia buffs and really gives a feel of what the late 60s were like at the 'hippy' end of the spectrum, but the DVD is rather bad value - only about 40 mins and crying out for some decent 'extras'.
If you already have the first 6 or 7 albums, buy this as a bonus: otherwise your money is better spent on the music.

3.0 out of 5 stars A film of two halves, 5 Aug 2002

By A Customer

If you're a fan you probably have this already, if not you are probably better starting off with an album like 5000 Spirits. The first half of this is a documentary including some concert footage and a great "video" performance of The Iron Stone; the second half sees them enacting a fable on a Welsh hillside through the medium of mime. The first half is excellent, the second half is a load of old twaddle (though still quite endearing).

4.0 out of 5 stars Magick!, 18 Jan 2007

By	wormwood (ireland) - See all my reviews

I suspect those who didnt like this were xpecting a live/concert thing?
No: this is a wonderfuly imagistic 'portrait' of the band. The first part features interviews with Heron and Williamson (remarkable flashes of youthful wisdom). The second part features a mythological fable with Herne The Hunter, dolmens, and beautiful hippygirls. Evocative images bypass rational thought and connect directly to ones emotions and higher self. This is a wonderfully Pagan xperience. Magick in every sense of the word!
