About this product

Product Information

Contains rare and previously unreleased material from "Shindig" and "The Ed Sullivan Show," plus footage from rehearsals and The Everly's 1983 reunion concert.This video presents a 75-minute documentary on the Everly Brothers that was originally broadcast on PBS in 1984. It's recommended viewing for both casual and serious fans of the great duo, intelligently interweaving interviews with Don Everly and Phil Everly (done at the time of their early-'80s reunion) with film clips from throughout their career. It might frustrate some viewers that some of those clips only show partial performances, but certainly they include some excellent songs, most of them done live, not mimed. Most of the clips are from the late '50s and early '60s, including such classics as "Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Cathy's Clown," "Lucille," and "Crying in the Rain," as well as a very surprising sequence in which they play with an animated Tennessee Ernie Ford on "Rattlesnake Daddy" and "Bird Dog." The rest of their career -- when they fell from commercial grace, though they made a lot more good music -- is skimmed over in comparison, but there is some footage from this period, highlighted by their minor late-'60s hit "Bowling Green." They don't, to their credit, skip over their stormy 1970s breakup, and while there's some coverage of their 1980s reunion, refreshingly it doesn't come off (as so many documentaries do) as a commercial of sorts for the then-current version of the act. Here's to getting this on DVD (which it wasn't, as of early 2005), and for that matter also getting together a full compilation of vintage Everlys music clips. ~ Richie Unterberger
