Have You Heard: Jim Croce Live
When Jim Croce died tragically in a plane crash on Sept. 20, 1973, he was just 30 years old and had recently been recognized as one of the most promising artists of his era. In a two-year span, he had eight Top 40 singles, two of which were #1 records and a #1 album. Despite being one of America’s most-loved artists, there has never been a video document of his career. Until now. Have You Heard: Jim Croce Live, features the late singer-songwriter’s performances on television in the early 1970’s. Set in an intimate style akin to today’s popular Unplugged series, the DVD includes performances of such classic Croce songs as "You Don’t Mess Around With Jim," "Operator (That’s Not The Way It Feels)," "Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown," many not seen since they were originally broadcast. Jim Croce’s widow, Ingrid, and their son A.J., provide special narration, filled with intimate anecdotes and stirring memories of their lives.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Blistering performances.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Jim Croce, a singer from the early 1970s, had a bunch of hit songs (eight) in a short span (two years) and then died tragically in an accident. He was only 30 years old.In this television-for-BBC concert, released on DVD about five years ago, Jim performs many of his great songs. In addition to footage of this made-for-TV concert, we also see him performing in other televised appearances, mostly, I think, from the U.S.A. Wherever the setting, this disc gives you a very nice, intimate look at this talented man. It's hard to believe these were done over 30 years ago, and that he's been gone that long.What you get is mainly a pleasant, small atmosphere with the artist and another guitarist singing a bunch of Croce's songs and Jim casually discussing some things about his career. He has a pleasing way of telling stories and had a very popular way of singing very interesting and sometimes very humorous songs. Those songs sound just as good today as they did 35 years ago.For a sincere, loving tribute to a wonderful artist and just plain nice guy, this is highly recommended.
