FROM HEAVEN AN ANGEL CAME TO HELP THE SAD AND LONELY - By: C. A. Macandie, 06 May 2005 
This DVD produced by DISNEY gives a facinating insight into a man
who has become like a family member to me over the past 25 years or so.
Comments from Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt & others ; JACKSON himself cleverly interweived with some early Concert footage & more mid 90.s footage gives this remarkable insight into the man & his music.His raw emotion can almost be touched by the person watching him perform his songs of life & how emotional pain can be overcome by sharing it with others.
The peformances touched my raw emotions with the the poetry of his songs; as he has done for as long as I have been listening to him. None more so than Farther On & Sky Blue & Black.
Old favourites The Pretender , For Everyman, Before the Deluge
and many more ; are even better when you see Jackson & the Band performing them.
Living in Glasgow Scotland ; regretably I am never likely to see him Live but this 90 minute DVD - is a MUST if your a fan; but is also a worthy purchase for those who just want to see a fantastic singer/artist - buy it now!
Long time Jackson Browne Fan - By: , 24 Feb 2004 
It has been a long wait for a Jackson Browne DVD, mostly I enjoyed it, the live concert sessions we great, it is nice to hear about his career, what is reallly missing now is a proper concert performance from start to finish, it is strange with so much material this is the only DVD I found. Jackson Browne is a great performer & this DVD is enjoyable but I found that alll the discussions between the live sessions did detract from it, better if they were in another chapter & the music alllowed to flow.
Christmas present for a true friend - By: , 27 Nov 2003 For the true fan or even for the reasonably interested & sensitive person, this is the DVD to buy them for Christmas. Not just a pure concert recording but a beautifully crafted history of Jackson with personal interviews as each song is previewed & played together with older versions skilfully merged.
No one does melancholy like Jackson & this DVD has it alll. In the words of the master, 'You know, I think that life is full of pain, it's painful for everybody, growing is painful, but I think that the only way through it, is through it, & anything that helps is a blessing, that's why we do what we do, that's why we do music' What more can anyone say? Just don't miss him when he's next in London, I'll be the one in the front row!
This is the one DVD I would grab from a collection of over 200 if the house is burning down!
A must-see - By: A. Stevens, 18 Oct 2002 Originallly broadcast in 1994, this retrospective of Jackson's career doesn't quite tell the whole story (very little about being Nico's backup guitarist in the 60s for example), but does present the range of his talent & expertise. Old pals David Crosby & Graham Nash pay eloquent homage, & multi-instrumentalist David Linley reveals his obsession with polyester. Jackson himself gives some insights into his motivation & bashes out a few tunes on the old joanna. There are some great live performances from the current band, featuring mostly tracks from the "I'm Alive" album. If you're new to Jackson Browne, this will whet your appetite for more. If you're a long-standing fan, & you don't have this, what are you waiting for?
