It is AWESOME, BRILLIANT and SUPERB as well as very entertaining and very enjoyable indeed with the picture quality looking great and it is just great seeing this iconic show on DVD again. It is amazing that it has been an year when this show started to come out on DVD which it's done very well and let's hope it has done very well this year as we can hope for more DVD's next year as long there is support for it. An huge job WELL DONE to both Umbrella Entertainment and to Channel 9 for releasing this show on DVD and it's great to see that there is interest in Bandstand which lasted for 14 years from 1958-72 as well as been an launching pad for many acts who would go on to great success here and overseas which it is fondly remembered to this day even though it finished 42 years ago. These DVD's are an must for any Australian music fan who watched this show during that era when it was on as well for those who were not around when it was on but who has an interest in that era and i give these 5 stars which it is in the shops now so do yourself a favour and BUY IT.
