The Cd is Immaculate, it has every song I could want on one disc. The DVD was only 20 minutes long. I was expecting a full length dvd with interviews of people who knew him OR that it would be the same dvd as "Ricky Nelson Sings" which is a 90 minute dvd with the same artwork as this/ same time of release. Originally I was going to buy the CD and the Ricky Nelson Sings DVD but I opted for this combo thinking I'd save some cash. If I had it to do over I'd buy the regular CD and Ricky Nelson Sings DVD separately.
But watching the DVD you see a very young Ricky Nelson who didn't perform with the intensity of most rock n' roll performers, instead he has a laid back, subtle, eerie, enchanted approach to his style of performance. With piercing eyes even in black and white. As far as being a teen idol which I'd equate with the type of idol that would appear in the teen beat magazines, Ricky has a great understanding of real true rock n' roll. For some reason i can't really put into words but his younger performances were more entertaining or memorizing. as he matures he seems a bit bored with the idea of tv performance/lip syncing. but understandably he kept doing the performances because it made sense with all the exposure each single got. The Young performances are true gems to me. |

| Next to Elvis,Ricky Nelson was also the King of Rock and Roll.This DVD is wonderfull,with alot of Rickys hits from his TV show .Its almost like watching what MTV would have been like in the 50's.The ending is great,with all of Rickys son's singing his last hit,"Garden Party. |

The Best of Ricky Nelson

As I thought this was more of a survey of what I thought of the DVD. All I can say is that it was better then what I expected. I knew it was going to be good but it was the best. Besides the hits of Ricky's it was good to hear of his life growing up.
I loved the DVD and know if Ricky was still with us he would still be the best |

| By the time the Beatles burst forth in '64, I was embarrassed to admit that Ricky Nelson had been my childhood hero, but the truth of it all came rushing back as I watched those old B&W performances on this excellent DVD. Everything around him in those Ozzie & Harriet episodes looks impossibly corny now, but his stillness and sincerity impress, and that sweet/sad voice remains achingly pure. The DVD makes it clear that Ricky is still a hero to his four children, and that's the best and worst thing about this tribute. Their testimonials are sincere if overly reverential, the best of them coming from Sam, a ringer for his dad, and Kris Kristofferson. That said, by the time sons Gunnar, Matt and Sam sang "Garden Party," I was a goner, cryin' as though his plane had gone down yesterday afternoon. |
