-----------------------------------------------------------

I liked that they included both versions, because I had never seen the Director's Cut, and it was good, gave a little more insight into The Bluesmobile, etc.

Stories... was also a GREAT documentary which details interesting stories and tid bits about the making of the Blues Brothers.

As for the featurettes: Going Rounds was a little disappointing, as it only features 2 songs from a concert at a House of Blues earlier this year. Remembering John was a little tribute to John Belushi and told some funny stories about him, it includes some vintage clips so it isn't bad. Transposing was decent, told about how they selected the music for the film and the impact The Blues Brothers had on Pop Culture.

This DVD had great sound and presented a nice, clear picture.
