Full Access: At Home and in Concert Reviews: Hank Williams Jr. "Full Access"  2008-09-10 - The concert portion of this dvd was filmed at the "Omni" in Atlanta, before a packed crowd. The documentary portion was filmed at one of his ranches in Montanna and at his farm in Tenneesee. Hank Jr. and his band perform outstanding before this packed Atlanta crowd. It begins with his band being on stage, then he walks onto the stage and starts performing "My name is Bocephus". He performs some songs with his band and some without his band. His band is very impressive, you get "Animal" playing a big red double necked guitar,
saxaphone players, Steel guitar, drums, and bass guitar. His classic hits are performed. Some highlights include "Young Country"- "ole Hank would be proud and Elvis would too". Others include "Born to Boogie", "Family Tradition", and a "Country Boy can Survive". Also, he performs a "fun song" near the beginning portion of his concert which is "Buck Naked". I didn't realize he could be so humorus.It's really funny. He's a great entertainer.The concert ends with the performance of "If the South Would Have Won, We'd had it Made". This is very upbeat. The entire band is at their best! He sings the song to "Ronnie Van Zant" - "Ronnie, we'd had it made in the Shade". "Made in the Shade" was a Ronnie Van Zant song. In the song he declares that everyday would be "Fat Tuesday", and the band switches to a mardi gras beat, as Hank holds an Umbrella and does the New Orleans Mardi Gras Strut. He would put Hank Williams picture on $100 bills, and the day Elvis passed away would be our national holiday, and the day young Skynyrd died, you don't know how much we cried. The performance is outstanding. During the song, he mentions something good about every southern state. Outstanding!!!! The documentary portion shows a very mature, very sober, and very responsible businessman - Hank Jr. You get to see him on one of his ranches in Motanna, taking care of chores, and then at a BBQ at his farm in Tenneesee. Merle Kilgore from the old "Louisian Hayride" is in the documentaty. The documentary is not separate from the concert. The documentary and concert are mingled together. Sometimes it seems the documentary portion drags on too long, especially after the performance of an excellent song. I wish the two portions were more separated. Overall, it is an excellent Dvd, well worth the inconvience of the mixed portions.
A great feature, poor packaging  2008-03-30 - I have seen Hank Williams, Jr. many times in concert and this is an excellent video capturing one of the best live performers in the business. It also featured cut ins from Hank at his Montana ranch, that showed him to be every bit the working country boy, as he is a country music superstar. It also depicts his love of outdoor life. I owned the original VHS version of "Full Access" almost as soon as it came out. I was thrilled to see an affordable DVD version that would upgrade the quality for my collection. I was disappointed a little by the way the program was set on the DVD. Chaptering does not allow the kind felxablity that most similar style DVDs do, grouping songs in chapters wit documentary and several songs clumped together, meaning you can't pull out concert moments alone, or go straight through documentary footage. For that matter you can't even pick out a particular song. Because of it's discount price, and otherwise top qulity concert and documentary footage, it is worth the money spent, but I would have still liked to see a better package.
hank williams full access tour  2007-05-13 - essential viewing for any hank jr or country music fan plenty of good ole music and some quite revealing fact's aboua't hank jr. well worth it's purchase
If you like Hank - you'll enjoy this DVD.  2007-01-08 - It's pure Hank, hamming it up on stage like he does in all his concerts. Ad libbing, playing several instruments and singing great songs. It's one big party when you go to his concerts. I'm pretty sure he doesn't forget the words to songs he wrote - as stated in one of the other reviews. He's just having fun and so is everyone else. It's nice to see him at the ranch, good to see he knows how to ride and do several ranching chores.
Almost full access.  2006-11-04 - I call this "Almost full access" because they could have the whole concert on this dvd.
The rest on this dvd could have been included as a bonus.
Good music snd interesting filming of Bosephus in the Montana outdoors.Well spent money,good beer music.
