Summary: Great document
Comment: Some people say that it is bad, but for me, it's very good, because you can see and learn about rock different things, obviously, this documentary miss a lot of information and discard rock history of many countries, but nothing it's perfect.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Beware packaging...do not buy online here!
Comment: While this is an excellent documentary, (format of hour long segments is great for viewing and the interviewees range from Bono to Little Richard to Jerry Garcia), the box set does not ship well. Ordered from Amazon and received 3 damaged discs that had fallen out of the packaging. Amazon replaced once, but sent an even more damaged package that fell apart when the plastic came off. Amazon won't send more than one replacement and have no desire to help customers get a non-damaged product.
I finally ordered from Best Buy where I also received a boxset that had loose and damaged dvds (believe it's a problem with this batch of dvds) but they were willing to order two just in case that happened and I was eventually able to find a non-damaged set.
Save the time, energy and effort and don't buy here!

Summary: Do Not Buy This
Comment: I received this as a gift for Christmas this is not the History of Rock. The first band is U2 I like u2 but they did not start rock and then there is NWA (hip hop) and that is not rock and all this was in the first 20 min it has nothing to do with rock & roll it is different peoples thoughts on music and not even the founders of rock thoughts if you buy this and you will be so unhappy with it
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent reference to complement other sources
Comment: The usefulness of this product depends on the purpose for which you buy it. If you simply want a historical review, it is exdcellent, lots of music tracks and interviews with artists. If you are a serious student, this is good to fill in some of the blanks not covered by other sources.
The role of the narrator is minimised and the material is presented mainly with comments from artists and the continuity is quite good.
In all, a very good addition to those who are interested in rock history and is a fine companion to the 'Dancing in the Street' series.
