The Best of Blues Brothers
Dan Aykroyd and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) take turns telling how the  Blues Brothers came to be, in a restaurant interview with Tom Davis (once upon  on a time teamed with Al Franken onSaturday Night Live). For those who  don't know, the Blues Brother are Joliet Jake Blues (John Belushi) and Elwood  Blues (Dan Aykroyd), two black-clad R & B artists who made it big with recurring  appearances onSaturday Night Livein the late 1970s, and with the  number-one hit "Soul Man," and of course in the hit 1980 movie,The Blues  Brothers. The conceit of the restaurant interview allows Aykroyd to give  some much-needed background to the origins of the act he and Belushi developed.  It also serves as a lead-in to live footage, the real appeal of the video, which  is an anthology ofSaturday Night Liveperformances (including the first  one where they were dressed in Killer Bees costumes), and concert footage from  the 1979 U.S. tour. A must-have for Blues Brothers fans, the DVD also includes  an instructional video for those who want to learn blues harmonica.--Jim  Gay
