Title: The Brothers deserve a better DVD
Review: I was thrilled when I knew about this DVD, since I just love The Brothers Johnson music. A live performance with some of their classics, in Dolby 5.1 audio? A must have I thought... What a disappointment. George and Lous still are great performers and the renditions of the songs are ok, but the video quality (a non-anamorphic, letterboxed image that lacks sharpness) sucks. And where is the Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround audio advertised in the package? I could only find a 2.0 analog track that comes mostly from the center channel and sounds mono for me. As bonus material there's a behind-the-scenes documentary that just made me wonder about what two of the finest black players/musicians from the 70's were doing there. Just embarassing. So, if you really like the guys and their music, listen again and again their albuns and forget this DVD.
Is the review positive or negative?
