Editorial Review:
Product Description: It would be fairly easy to contend that Donovan is one of the greatest figures in rock history. You could cite his thirteen British hit singles. You could cite his innovative, ingenious and meticulously textured blending of disparate genres such as jazz and folk and rock, not to mention medieval, Indian and Caribbean music. You could cite the songs of his, which have been covered by heavy hitters such as Joan Baez, Kate Bush, Hole, the Allman Brothers Band, Nigel Kennedy, Eric Burdon, Jefferson Airplane, Al Kooper and Stephen Stills. Likewise, you could cite the influence he has had on the likes of the Beatles and Marc Bolan. But it would be equally easy to contend that, notwithstanding such mighty achievements, Donovan remains one of rock music s most underrated and misunderstood figures.
Sunshine Superman The Journey Of Donovan is the ultimate life story of the 60´s folk-pop phenomenon. The deluxe double-DVD set contains classic 60´s film and TV appearances, rare archive footage and never-before-seen material as well as 5 previously unreleased songs and all of the hits. With appearances by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Mickie Most, Rick Rubin, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Franco Zeffirelli, David Lynch (and many more) and a 40 page booklet chock full of informative liner notation and exclusive photo material, Sunshine Superman is the ultimate story of Donovan s remarkable and unique four decade career.
Customer Reviews Average Rating:  Rating: - Much more than Mellow Yellow The first disc, the actual documentary, is very interesting and most insightful. Donovan is an amazing man with a great, loving heart. You have to respect a man who stands up and speaks, sings, lives his life so completely and honestly. The second disc is filled with extras; videos made before we called them that, songs from concerts, interviews, short films, wow! Thanks, Donovan! I am going to get as many of Donovan's concerts as I can hunt down. Not only has he made some of the most adventerous ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointing but not Surprising I'm a huge Donovan fan. I own all the vinyl. I still find relevance in his music.But this DVD was so disappointing.Donovan is unnatural in his narrative posture, boastful and ultimately insecure, leading me to feel queezy and embarrassed for him.He is long winded in his awkward self servitude. I'll buy a new album if it comes out, and probably give this embarrassing dvd to a fan who adores him above and beyond his legitmate musical contributions. I have seen Donovan in concert a couple of times in ... Read More
Rating: - The self-consciousness of a dimming star Let me preface my criticism with some bold praise:
Donovan's best music rivals that of the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, and all of his other musical peers from the 1960s and 70s. In addition to household pop hits like Mellow Yellow and Hurdy Gurdy Man, the Donovan library boasts dozens of more obscure masterpieces, like Peregrine, Marjorie Margarine, Three Kingfishers, Sand and Foam, and Please Don't Bend. He's a fine guitarist with a sublime voice and great versatility in his songwriting. ... Read More
Rating: - Ballad of a crystal man This could have been wonderful, as the film maker clearly had access to hours of film from the 60s.
Unfortunately, we see that footage only in glimpses and we have to put up with Donovan as he is today - sadly obsessed with inflating his place in the world, for most of both discs.
That he calls himself "Dr. Donovan Leitch" in the accompanying booklet (having got an honorary doctorate somewhere or other) is exemplary of his need to feel that he's achieved something. The cosmic waffle ... Read More
Rating: - Well, it certainly provides maximum Donovan.. Ok, this is a conditional rating.
If you are a Donovan fanatic, and I do mean a fanatic, consider this a 4-star film. If you own every album..on vinyl, have a Peace sign-shaped air freshner dangling gaily from your Prius, and can watch Billy Jack Goes To Washington without collapsing into apoplectic laughter, than you can probably listen, with rapt awe at three, very long hours of Donovan's love letter to himself, otherwise known as "Sunshine Superman: The Journey of Donovan", but anyone else is ...
