1) It needs to be more linear instead of popping around year to year like it does.

2) Each DVD is named after a song on it (e.g., “Feeling Alright”, “Start Me Up”, etc.). I wish they had done the first DVD 1986-1989, the second one 1990-1993, etc. etc. (see item 1).

3) The pamphlet (not big enough to qualify as a booklet) that accompanies each DVD could have been more informative, i.e., list everyone on stage and participating during the performances so we aren’t sitting there going “who the hell is that in the hat?”

4) The packaging is cheesy. Seriously, for the $120 I paid for the thing, the packaging is laughable. I’ve bought compilations, “best of” and “greatest hits” for a lot less where the packaging was extraordinary.

5) What really gets me upset is you cannot buy the commemorative book unless you buy Time/Life’s “ultimate” DVD set – 9 of the R&R HOF and 5 DVDs of decade/genre hits, then they throw the book in. $236 total.

6) The editing and chopping down of the induction speeches was unnecessary. They didn’t do it to all of them, but the ones they did do it with were annoying.

On the lighter side, the price was worth seeing Pete Townshend induct the Rolling Stones into the R&R Hall of Fame in 1989. Pete’s induction speech, as well as Billy Joel’s induction speech for John Mellencamp, are the two outstanding speeches of the past 25 years!
