## Description

This 80 minute DVD vividly encapsulates the intensity of The Incredible String Band in the late 1960's. Live sequences show the band at the height of their powers, casting a spell on the audiences with their unique blend of theatrical and musical metaphysics. Originally designed for the BBC's Omnibus Arts Programme, 'Be Glad for the Song Has No Ending' was never broadcast, but it enjoyed an independent cinema release in Britain and the U.S. This program captures that magic and spirituality. Also includes a bonus interview with Peter Neal!

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2007*

I'm amazed that I did not find this by looking for a DVD by the Incredible String Band. The individuals certainly appear in the film, but the basic idea is that they spontaneously perform as the Incredible String Band whenever they give a concert. The fable at the end, which starts when someone has a wood play pirate sword and the music in the background has hardly any words, includes some people who might not be at most of their concerts, but they probably ehjoy the Incredible String Band or they wouldn't all be on the same wavelength.I bought this DVD in 2006 and vaguely remembered that it had some of the group's songs: "Mercy I Cry City," "Air," and "The Iron Stone." Robin plays the end of "Mercy I Cry City" with a whistle in one hand and a harmonica in the other hand, which would be called flexibility in the jobs I've had. I'm not sure of the title for a song that sounds like "Ha." A sitar is shown during the song "The Iron Stone," which is introduced by Robin saying that a song could be based on a fantasy, a dream, or about suddenly understanding something.The beginning is a combination of the ARK story, word association, a list of instruments, "and then some," their solution to "this evolution problem," and finally has singing about "to give a little schoolboy his first love" and "oh those goodtime girls" which seem to be part of a title song, "Be Glad for the song has no ending."Peter Neal directed and provides an interview about trying to get it on the BBC's Omnibus arts program. The photography often provides a picture of just two faces, a single face, and during the song "The Iron Stone," gradually gets close enough to show a single eye.

I remember the first time I was introduced to the music of The String Band in the summer of '69 up in the Rocky Mts of Canada.  At that time, I admired the Incredibles' interest in folk/ethnic musicology as I had  also begun listening to Albanian, Bosnian, Romanian, Turkish, Iranian and Indian folk recordings at my university's record library.  Now, after all these years, I have finally got to see Robin and Mike, Licorise and Rose on film.  As the first reviewer of this historic DVD has mentioned, seeing Robin in action on "Mercy I Cry City" is alone worth the price of this DVD.  I also agree that after viewing this film, one wishes that it could have been much longer.  But,the one full length studio version of "The Iron Stone" included on this DVD is proof enough of how magical and innovative this group really was.  Since the late 1960s, has any artist even come close to approximating the extraordinary versatilty and ingenuity of Robin and Mike?  What a sad bunch are today's "musicians" whose rap-artistry pales in comparison to the Incredibles' enormous talent and musicianship. For anyone who remembers the Incredibles with fondness from their youth, this short documentary alone will not disappoint.  I would also like to recommend Adrian Whittaker's excellent book (available from Amazon.com)"beGlad - An Incredible String Band Compendium" to those reading this.  Finally, I am surprised that no other String Band fans have written reviews of this DVD.  Where are ya mates?

    Disappointed
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2008*

As a long time ISB fan, I looked forward to this DVD in hope of recapturing the ISB glory days. But while this disk has a couple of good performances, much of the disk is devoted to a silly high-schoolish skit/movie that captures the playfulness of the time, but not the true magic.Also the film says its 80 minutes, but this includes a half hour, longwinded review with the director who explains that this didn't make the cut with BBC, even though they paid for it.All in all, there's maybe 10 to 15 minutes of quality concert footage and the rest is a kind of avant garde digression.
