If you are expecting just the videos for the tracks on Bob Marley's extremely successful greatest hits CD, you are going to be pleasantly surprised with this DVD. Legend is much more than a simple, video anthology. It is a historical telling of the music of Bob Marley presented in 23 videos, most of which are performances, and a 90-minute documentary. The documentary is a collage of images and video clips put to a running dialogue by Marley. Unless you are very familiar with the Jamaican dialect, it is recommended to watch this with the subtitles turned on. Interesting, but there are better documentaries out there (e.g., The Bob Marley Story: Caribbean Nights). It is the live performances, however, that make this DVD worth its weight in gold. Every person remotely interested in his music owes it to himself to witness Bob Marley perform on stage. Musically, Marley is as close to perfection as any artist can hope to achieve. But as a performer, he transcends beyond the secular pop star status to the mythic leader of a movement. Notable performances include eight tracks from the famous Live at the Rainbow recording (June 1977) and the early Wailer footage from The Old Grey Whistle Test recorded for the BBC in 1973 ("Stir It Up" and "Concrete Jungle"). They are simply hypnotic. The sound on the DVD, for the most part, is clear, crisp, and flawless ("Could You Be Loved" could have been touched up a little bit). A nice feature is the "playlist," allowing the viewer to play the videos in any order desired. All in all, a great package for a true legend. --Rob Bracco

- Is this love?

OK, I am a huge Bob Marley fan and I have all his albums on CD, but for me this is the prize of the whole lot. If you have a DVD player or a DVD drive on your computer, then you owe it to yourself to get this little disc.

What do you get? 22 of his best songs, mostly in live performances, but with some video renditions, plus a ninety minute "musicmentary" that has a few more songs and snatches of performances all over the world, linked by an interview with Marley, and lots of fascinating photography of Jamaican life and landscape. It even includes scenes of Haile Selassie's rapturous reception in Jamaica in 1966.

The video for Natural Mystic has fascinating footage of the scenes at Marley's 1981 funeral that is almost worth the cost of admission alone, and then you will see plenty of life in Trenchtown too, that gives you a real feel for the milieu that gave life to this music.

Lots of footage of Bob too, including him doing some tricks with a soccer ball, as well as loads of performances and a variety of dreadlocked hairstyles.

Watching this makes me feel 25 years younger. For the price, which is hardly more than a CD, you would be one crazy baldhead if you did not buy it.

- Jammin!

I have seen most of the Marley videos and this award winning documentery rocks the most! There is a LOT of Bob in this one, and the famous scene from the "Concert for Peace". The information and the music are awesome. One of my all time fav music videos! It received some sort of documentary film award for excellence.

- Pretty much only live performance

This video is not really a documentary, it is only bob performing each song on Legend (his greatest hits cd). The video also has a cool short clip of bob performing "want more" from rastaman vibration. Basically all it is performances. If you want a good documentary get Rebel Music the dvd or caribbean nights:the bob marley story.

- the BEST marley dvd available....finally

Okay...I am not the biggest Marley fan in the world but have wanted to know more and frankly the other dvds on him I have purchased left me unsatisfied...this DVD is amazing. A great selection of 13 performances from live shows.....plus a bonus selection of 11 extra songs...and that is not all!

a 90 minute movie/documentary "Time Will Tell" which is a fabulous blending of music and story is also contained on this DVD....along with a wonderful booklet....I NOW know what the big damn deal was about this guy....and am looking forward to getting to know his music...if you are on the fence ...don't hesitate its a joke at the price its being offered at and while I am sure rabid fans will probably have some of this footage in various forms....this is all killer NO filler..

- bob at his best

I think that this is the ultimate bob marley dvd. i don't think it gets any better that this. It has the songs of Legend (either their video or live perfomences) and it also contains a documentary (90 minutes) of bob marley talking about his music plus lots more live performences of the songs that are not in Legend. after you buy this dvd you won't care to purchase any other, believe me.
