Not only do they sound like an Chains rip-off, they sound like a really bad one that aspires to appeal to a lame, jockey variety of metalheads who slap it wildly to wrestling matches. So basically, if you snort Creatine and you get freaky with your sister, Godsmack is probably the best band in the universe to you. Their melodies are spooky enough to give you some cred with your friends at the mall who wear all black, and their vocalist has an eerily channeled masculine ghost-of-Elvis quality to it, that makes you and your male compadres secretly want to tongue kiss each other and the lead singer simultaneously.

This is an awesome collection of the early godsmack material and I would totally recomend this to any old school fan who doesn't own the Cd's or any newcomer to the band. plus the DVD is worth the money by itself. For us life long Gsmack fans new album due out 1st quarter 2010 so keep your eye out for it Gsmack fans.

If you like Godsmacks popular hits you'll like this mix of hits. Good selection of songs and the DVD concert that comes with it is excellent. They do some question and answers with the audience that gives you a little bit of history/triva about the band. Definitely recomend for everyone.

If you don't own this disc then shame on you . Start to finish it's GREAT .

A collection of great power rock. All of the hits are here (my favs are Voodoo, I Stand Alone, & Awake). The price was pretty low and this was a great value, with little filler.

I've been a fan of Neil Diamond, for too many years. I look back at his first L.P. records, that I have and see this young guy on the covers, and I can't believe that the Neil Diamond of today still sounds as good as he did way back then. I bought this DVD, which included an extra 10 CD with it, and I've listened again, and again. I think I have every CD, Album, and cassette that Neil ever recorded, including a record album, just for D.J.s. It was a skripted, interview on record, just like he was sitting there talking to the interviewer...Now about this DVD, I enjoyed going back to Neil's home town of Brooklyn, N.Y. and laughing when he would ask some of the guys that live in his old neighborhood today, if they knew who he was....most didn't.....the look on their faces..the whole DVD is worth just watching his old neighborhood and listening to Beautiful Noise and thinking how it must have been listening to the city from an apt. and putting words and music to it...If one has the means to listen and watch this DVD on a great sounding surround system, then it's even better..I've seen Neil twice in Birmingham, AL. and this DVD takes me back to then sitting on the 7th row, dead center..not believing I'm there. The only thing I missed was a big cloud of smoke coming out of the floor and seeing him arise from the floor with his white, sparkley, shiny costume on bigger than life..like a music god...singing AMERICA.....I love this DVD.

If you like Neil Diamond's music, then buy this CD. It is one of his best live performances, maybe the best. You will not be disappointed.

First of all this was not done in 2008. It was not a DVD/CD. The pictures on the cover were of Neal in the 70s. Not happy at all with my purchase. The seller was supposed to send my money back and has not. The case was broken and the mail packaging was torn.

It takes you to the neighborhood where he grew up. He went to see where he lived and the people let him see the apartment. He talked with a bunch of boys on bicycles on his music. They haven't heard of his songs but it was fine with him. Different generation. Different kind of music. Great concert.

I've been a Neil Diamond fan for years, and watching this concert DVD was a pleasure to my senses, I especially liked the "welcome home" preamble to the dvd, it was fun watching Neil walk through the old neighborhood, then the build up to the performance that evening, if you are a Neil Diamond fan, I believe you will find this worth it, some of his performances seemed a bit lackluster, he seemed to be "going through the motions" at some points of the show, but on other songs he really belted them out with energy & was really into pleasing the audience.

I can't review this item since I never recieved the merchandise. corresponded with the seller several times since ordering the merchandise, each time I was reassured that it was on the way. Well here we are 2 months later and still nothing. I even talked to her about a refund, again I was assured that I would get one, once again nothing. I use to get alot of movies from amazon, but since this happened I began purchasing my tv DVD collections elsewhere.

Wonderful price, shipping, everything! I love One Tree Hill & I was so excited to see these in my mailbox so soon after making the payment!

I bought this for my daughter's birthday and she still watches it EVERY DAY! Her birthday is June 13th!

I gave this set to my niece, for her birthday, and she LOVES the show! In fact she has ALL the 5 Complete seasons now!

Received product in a timely manner. It was great quality and I have had no problems whatsoever with the product. I would buy from the seller again and plan on purchasing more items through amazon. :)

While this is not the best of the Hartnell years, it stands the test of "time" very well (pun fully intended). One of the "let's revisit history" storylines, this introduces the first glimpse of another time-lord, and suggests the Doctor is part of a race instead of merely being a quirky individual. The character of the monk is quite interesting and rather funny, and the Doctor's disdain for his violation of the "prime directive" (to borrow from Trek) is interesting considering the directions the series would take in later years. Had this avenue been explored, the show might very well have turned out more like Quantum Leap, with the Doctor running around trying to correct mistakes throughout history. In sum: a worthy episode, but not as exciting as many others, nor as lavish in scope or atmosphere. Most of the supporting roles are rather lack-luster. Of interest mainly to those who are amassing a Hartnell years collection.

When Doctor Who began in 1963, the types of stories it told could be roughly categorized into one of two classifications. There were the science-fiction stories in which the TARDIS crew would visit the future or an alien world and have some sort of adventure there. Then there were the purely historical stories -- adventures where the crew would become separated from their ship, be accused of murder, or something along those lines. These stories would allow children to learn miniature history lessons (one of the original purposes of the show) by showing the regular characters interacting with historical figures. The important distinction between the two types was that the historical stories contained no science fiction concepts. The villains were regular humans, not evil alien monsters. Fights took place using swords or pistols, not death-rays or blasters. THE TIME MEDDLER changed all this by combining the science fiction with the historical (pseudo-historicals as they became known in fan nomenclature). Looking back, it's intriguing to see how the production team played on viewer expectations by opening with an adventure set in the 11th century and only slowly dropping clues that a subversion of this story-type is unfolding: a modern wristwatch is found in the woods; a monastery has a phonograph (which apparently broadcasts the "Chant" album across the countryside). The story is relatively straightforward. Landing in England in 1066, the TARDIS crew are puzzled by the aforementioned anachronistic clues. The one thing they have in common is a monk who has recently appeared in a previously abandoned monastery. This character is commonly known in fan circles as the Meddling Monk, who would become a semi-recurring character in one later television serial and a few spin off media appearances. (Watching this story for the first time in a decade or so, I was stunned by Peter Butterworth's resemblance to New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, complete with hoodie.) Once the Meddling Monk's scheme is discovered, the Doctor, Steven and Vicki must stop him to prevent the entirety of Western Europe's history from being completely corrupted. The Monk's plan never feels particularly concrete and so there isn't a lot of drama to be pulled from what is a relatively high concept in this era of the show's history. The character is also mostly comic relief which makes for fun viewing, but is an odd decision for the serial's only real villain. THE TIME MEDDLER contains a neat science fiction concept, but it isn't a story that really stands up to multiple viewings (in 1965, it wasn't meant to be seen more than a single time). Once the secret and the plot are known, follow-up viewings make the serial seem slow to get to the point. What's left are the performances from the actors and they do in fact just manage to keep the story afloat. William Hartnell and Peter Butterworth have a great rapport which makes it a pity that Hartnell is absent for all of the second episode. I particularly enjoyed Alethea Charlton who has a much more subtle character to play than that of the cave-woman which she portrayed in AN UNEARTHLY CHILD. Still, the script is probably cleverer than it appears at first glance. Take, for example, the fact that at the beginning of the story, Steven (as a brand new traveler on the TARDIS) is given the standard information dump about what kind of adventures he can expect and how the TARDIS works. This seems like just the usual material, but for once it actually comes in handy in episodes three and four once the Monk's true nature is revealed. This DVD release (as usual) contains a much cleaned up and superior picture compared to the old movie-format PBS version that had been my only experience of this serial. There's a short extra which briefly explores how and where much of the digital scrubbing took place. The text commentary is informative but seemed even more dry than usual. If you ever find yourself wondering the exact time of day the actors took their lunch and dinner breaks on the recording days of this serial, then this is the extra for you. The audio commentary track is crowded in this one: producer Verity Lambert (who unfortunately passed away only months after she recorded this track), actor Peter Purves, story editor Donald Tosh, designer Barry Newbery and commentary moderator Clayton Hickman. As with other moderated commentary tracks, the conversation very often is not focused onto the on-screen action, but instead in loose discussions. It's rather refreshing to hear Peter Purves freely admit that he recalls almost nothing specific about this serial. The track really only gets lively during a digression where Verity Lambert starts dishing the dirt on which male members of the BBC production staff couldn't stand working for a woman. THE TIME MEDDLER is a decent little story, and, if slow at times, it manages to not become tedious. The twist is a little long in coming, but there's other stuff to appreciate along the way. And who hasn't wanted to see someone throw their breakfast on Bill Belichick?

My wife got me this for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier! Prior to this, I had only been exposed to Doctors 4 through 10. After this, I was able to get story arcs from Troughton, Pertwee, and T. Baker. I have to say that Hartnell and Troughton are DEFINITELY my 2 favorite Doctors. If for no other reason than Hartnell explaining the layout of the T.A.R.D.I.S., you simply HAVE to watch this.

For fans of Doctor Who, this is an excellent view into the Timelords world. This is the first time a fellow timelord shows up and his TARDIS really works. It starts out slow, but once the action starts, it's great.

Doctor Who - The Time Meddler (Episode 17) It was a vintage Dr. Who. Well acted. The sets are a little hokey, but the story is good. This must have been one the early stories, as the series started as a teaching (History) tool.
