NOT the original documentary OR the video

"This is NOT the original 'making of' documentary that also contained the video single. Instead, it's a 'new' documentary about Band Aid and is made up of clips from the original documentary and some new interviews. It's short, only 23 minutes, so do not expect any kind of in-depth information. Basically, it's a 'hack' program with no original analysis or scholarship. Those expecting the original documentary and song/video will be sorely disappointed. The DVD jacket does NOT make it clear that it is a new program either. AVOID if you are looking for the original 1984 song and making of documentary (which, BTW, has NOT been released on DVD yet - only VHS, Beta in the USA and LaserDisc in Japan - hopefully, we'll get an HD-DVD of the original program.)"
Take my money and runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

"Somebody wanted my money and they got it. The song may have been longer than this documental clip. I didn't read the review before purchasing, what a bummer. I should have learned from the first time when I tried to buy a dvd from a company called CAIMAN. You may have heard about them. Beware of the mini storage based wanna be a company. HEY CAIMAN if you are out there listen to this...
Next time you want to FÜ¿ÆæK someone KISS THEM FIRST
Oh Yeh about this dvd, save your money there is no music and you will learn nothing except that we are getting older."
Disappointing

"If you are hoping to see the original video then you are in for a major disappointment.
The documentary was weak at best....other than some interviews with Bob Geldoff and Midge Ure, you only got to catch glimpses of SOME of the other performers. The video documented very briefly about Live Aid, USA For Africa, and Canada's effort with "Tears Are Not Enough"....but once again, you didn't get to see the videos....only little glimpses here and there of the stars.
This was truly a complete waste of money and my time to view it."
