While this "Rock 'n Roll Legends" series includes other DVD releases, in these six alone, you can see performances by some 25 vintage artists, singing not only their own hits but other popular songs of the era. Any one of these releases provides an interesting, if eccentric, window on this past time. Together they present a fascinating pastiche of popular music as it was a half-century ago.

Rock 'n Roll Legends: Bobby Vee features five of Bobby Vee's biggest hits performed live at Little Darlin's, The Rock 'n Roll Palace in Orlando, Florida. The music is energetic and well-performed and the songs retain the sound of the original hit recordings. The audience is lively, filling the dance floor throughout the performance, and Vee is clearly having a ball interacting with them. There's something a little off-centre about doing the bunny hop to "Walking With My Angel" or asking the dancers to twist to "Rubber Ball" but Vee and his audience carry it off. The track-listing on the package does not match the actual order of songs as performed.

Guest artists on this release are Danny and the Juniors, here called The Original Juniors, featuring three original members without the late Danny Rapp (1941-1983). Also performing at Little Darlin's, The Original Juniors do a respectable job performing this music, sounding slicker and more "Vegas" than the original recordings I remember. Even so, this is good Rock and Roll, performed with sincerity and energy.

On this release, "Fanzone" features an extensive biography of Bobby Vee along with a comprehensive discography of his releases over the decades. These sections make interesting reading but, once again the visual quality is far less than ideal.

"Quantum Leap Propaganda" is more than just that. It includes three interesting, if rough in many aspects, clip-packed video presentations plus a brief commercial for the Quantum Leap website. Imagine the movie That's Entertainment produced not by a professional but by a YouTube amateur and you'll have a good idea what to expect in these video presentations.
