I just finished watching the three music dvd's I got for Christmas and in case anyone is thinking of these he's my take on them.
Billy Joel - Live at Yankee Stadium This was first released in 1990 but if you're a Billy Joel fan it is worth getting. The music and photography are very good. The only real downside is that it's only 85 min long so given his extensive potential song list there are gaps but this is a good performance.
Cream This is the 2 disk set just released and is the documentary addition to last years live performance at Royal Albert Hall. For a Cream fan this is a great addition, the interviews are present day and largely deal with the the band during the late 60's. It covers a lot of ground and puts it all into perspective. There is some achival performance footage but it pales when compared to the reunion stuff. Still it's a good buy for the Cream fans out there.
Bachman/ Cummings As reunion performances go this isn't as good as the Cream reunion but I've seen these guys so many times over the years from before "These Eyes" that they can do no wrong. It's like seeing old friends again which is what they appear to be again.
