Summary: ON HOLD!!!
Comment: I HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF ENJOYING WATT STAX FROM BOTH THE MOVIE AND LATER THE ALBUM AS A YOUNGSTER. I KNOW HOW GOOD IT WAS IN IT'S ORIGINAL FORM. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS BLINDSIDED BY THE CD DUE TO THE COMMENTATION OVERIDING THE MUSIC THAT SEEMED TO NEVER STOP IN LEGNTH OR IN FREQUENCY. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? THIS SHOULD HAVE COME WITH A FLASHING WARNING. DROVE A FIVE STAR PERFORMANCE DOWN TO TWO.

Customer Rating:

Summary: An excellent documentary with some outstanding music
Comment: I saw this in a small theatre as part of a double feature with Dave Chappelle's Block Party. Chappelle apparently based his movie on Wattstax and I figured it would be worth checking out. I came out of the theatre absolutely amazed that I had never even so much as heard about it before.

This film is best described a documentary with some great music footage. It's a not a music film. Those who see it expecting mostly music footage may be disappointed. However, director Mel Stuart skillfully weaves interviews with locals from Watts and some comic relief from Richard Pryor throughout the concert footage to make for a riveting film.

Highlights are The Emotions' spectacular take on 'Peace, Be Still', Rufus Thomas' 'Breakdown/Funky Chicken', Luther Ingrams' 'If Loving You Is Wrong' and Pryor's take on African Americans in the U.S.

Highly recommended!

Customer Rating:

Summary: Absolutely superb!
Comment: I purchased this dvd back in 2005, and i have to say it was one of the best concerts on dvd that i'd ever seen. I was just a little fella when this event took place, but Al Bell had a serious sound going on down there in Memphis. I've always been a big fan of Isaac Hayes, and to see him performing along with some of the other r&b greats on here was a tremendous treat. I only regret not being old enough back then to have caught this historical event in person. Not to mention, Richard Pryor was funny as heck too. I recommend for any real soul music listener to go out and cop this dvd. You won't regret it!
