You can forget about Frampton Comes Alive, even Kiss Alive! for that matter - any of these. This is the concert film and album to beat, and no one ever has.
I first saw this movie when I was 9. Yes, the Ravi Shankar section irritated me and I was one of those who were very impatient to see my "favorite stars which will be in the second part", but I grew to like the Indian stuff later on.
This was the first time I ever saw Leon Russell and Billy Preston. I was shocked when Preston got up and danced during his number "That's the Way God Planned It". I also grew to love that, as it was one of the most joyous parts of the film. I later had the privilege of meeting Preston at a Beatles convention and telling him so - the initial shock and fright, and later embracing the joy it brought.
I hated Bob Dylan then - I at first felt his set to be boring and overlong - that is not the case these days. I've since become a huge fan.
Of course, there's my never-ending love for George and Ringo. This was the first time I heard "It Don't Come Easy" and "Bangla Desh". "Bangla Desh" was very intense and I loved the sax solo - you talk about a "major jam". I later heard the studio version, and it's a draw as to which version is better.
I picked up my copy of the DVD on Tuesday the 25th of October. This of course was the same day as Game 3 of the World Series - which one do you think I watched?
