Movie Reviews of The Jam - The Complete Jam
Movie Review: Only two problems
Summary: 4 Stars
There are only two things that detract from this terrific DVD: the exclusion (as another reviewer pointed out) of a performance of "Beat Surrender" (possibly from Top of the Pops or The Tube) that many of us remember seeing on MTV in the '80s, and the fact that the sound on many of the promo clips seems to be the original sound track off the old video tape, when the producers surely could have taken the time to replace the poor sound quality with remastered stereo tracks ("Absolute Beginners" and "Going Underground" are two that sound poor and monaural). But these clips are so undeniably cool that you won't regret buying this collection for a moment.Movie Review: Great material
Summary: 4 Stars
This is great material! Even if you're not a hardcore fan of the Jam you will be impressed by their power as a live band.Movie Review: Made Me Like The Band Less
Summary: 3 Stars
If you think The Jam's music is brilliant (at their best, it is), think twice before you watch this DVD because you may like the band less afterwards. I admittedly do not have much historical knowledge of the band, and perhaps for that reason, was shocked by Paul Weller's unwarranted, disparaging treatment of one interviewer and the seriousness with which he takes himself. If you love The Clash (I do), you know that the members are also likeable, despite their sometimes angry posture and many contradictions, and do not take themselves too seriously -- just watch the DVD about Joe Strummer, "Let's Rock Again," for example. I just felt that I liked The Jam less after watching this DVD, which is a shame given the excellence of much of their music.
