The great Neil Diamond captured live in 1971 in London - for an intimate performance, when the emerging icon was at the peak of his breakout success as both a singer-songwriter and a pop star. The Hollies, captured live, at the peak of their mod, swinging London heyday. The great Neil Diamond in a gorgeous program of classic Christmas music, drawn from the rich tradition of hymns, carols, and popular songs that make up the great American yuletide experience. A very young James Taylor - live in London, just launching the career that would made the songs he plays here into modern pop standards. Here we encounter the great, underappreciated genius as he turns his voice into a wide-ranging instrument. Having left the folk-rock mode far behind, Buckley is supported here by drums, guitars, and trumpets. The influences range from Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk to the European avant-garde compositions of Iannis Xanakis and others. Standout performances include ‘I Woke Up,’ ‘Moulin Rouge,’ and ‘Blue Melody.’ A fascinating performance. Track List: I Woke Up - Come Here Woman - Blue Melody - Moulin Rouge - Venice Beach Jungle Fire The indelible Neil Diamond hits of the period are given hard-driving and powerful treatment here: ‘Solitary Man,’ ‘Sweet Caroline,’ ‘Holly Holy,’ ‘Cracklin’ Rosie’, and ‘I Am...I Said’ among them. We also get an intense rendition of the Scott/Russell classic ‘He Ain’t Heavy (He’s My Brother).’ Neil also previews ‘Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show,’ which would jump out of a classic live album a year later to help make the singer and writer a star as well. A fascinating evening with one of the great pop artists of our time. Track List: Sweet Caroline - Solitary Man - Cracklin’ Rosie - Done Too Soon - A Modern Day Version Of Love - He Ain’t Heavy... He’s My Brother - Holly Holy - I Am... I Said Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show With youthful verve and musical polish, the Hollies perform their many hits of the era, from ‘Carrie Anne’ to ‘Sorry, Suzanne,’ from ‘Bus Stop’ to ‘Stop Stop Stop’ which features an unusual banjo part from Tony Hicks). They mix folk numbers like ‘Stewball’ with classics like ‘A Taste Of Honey.’ And the work of Bob Dylan gets an unusual interpretation: the Hollies sing ‘Just Like A Woman,’ ‘Quit Your Lowdown Ways,’ ‘I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight,’ ‘The Mighty Quinn,’ and ‘Blowin’ In The Wind.’ An evening of upbeat fun from the quintessential English band of the 1960’s. Track List: Carrie Anne - Just Like A Woman - Hit Medley: Just One Look; Bus Stop; On A Carousel; Sorry Suzanne - Quit Your Lowdown Ways - I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight - Settle Down - Stop Stop Stop - A Taste Of Honey - Stewball - The Mighty Quinn - Blowin’ In The Wind The favorites are all here, from ‘Silent Night’ to ‘Jingle Bell Rock,’ from ‘The Little Drummer Boy’ to ‘Hark!

Beautifully presented on lovely sets with lush orchestral arrangements, these familiar songs take on new life in Neil’s intimate readings. Unexpected entries include Cat Stevens’s ‘Morning Has Broken’ and John and Yoko’s ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over).’ A beautiful holiday gift from one of our most compelling entertainers.

From the 1991 ‘Motownphilly’ through 1999’s ‘Thank You In Advance,’ we experience again the sumptuous video and musical styles in which Boyz II Men presented themselves: mainly romantic, seductive numbers, gorgeously shot and edited in a mix of upscale and gritty, urban locations, blending sweet harmonies with danceable ‘new jack’influenced funk. Return to one of the most memorable moments in r&b, pop, and hip hop, with one of the most successful acts of the period, Boyz II Men.

Flamboyant, funny, intense, colorful, and multicultural: Culture Club ruled 1980’s pop, and this concert finds the band and its unforgettable lead singer Boy George at their absolute peak, playing a packed house in Yokohama, Japan. The sensational Patti LaBelle - in a collection of her most memorable music videos from the 1980’s, ‘90’s, and ‘00’s. The amazing Ravi Shankar plays an intricate, extended classic raga - ‘Rag Behag’ - live on a BBC stage in 1974. Included here are big hits from the 1980’s and 1990’s: ‘New Attitude’ and ‘Stir It Up,’ from 1985; the duet ‘On My Own,’ from 1987; ‘If You Asked Me To,’ from the James Bond film ‘License to Kill’; ‘Somebody Loves You, Baby,’ from 1991; and ‘When You Talk About Love’ from 1997. Nobody has been more successful in bringing Western listeners to the beauties of Indian classical music than Ravi Shankar, and this concert shows why. Beginning in meditative, alluring serenity, the master builds his sitar solo into an astonishing flurry of unexpected rhythms and notes - aided by the fleet Allah Rakha Khan on tabla and the steady Noder Mullick on tambura. (Interplay between Shankar and Kahn is especially powerful.) The great Neil Young in 1971, his breakout year - singing the songs that would make ‘Harvest’ a huge hit and Young himself a new kind of rock star. Supported by a huge ensemble including Bobby Farrell and Marcia Barrett - Boney M. here displays the extraordinary costuming and athletic dancing that gave the group immense popularity throughout Europe and the U.K. in the late 1970’s, with huge hits like ‘Gotta Go Home,’ ‘Brown Girl In The Ring,’ ‘Rasputin,’ ‘Ma Baker,’ ‘El Lute,’ and many others heard here. This show returns us to that brief but memorable moment when disco theatricality ruled an important segment of the music business and Boney M.’s unusual amalgam of dance tracks, gospel, folk, and reggae gave the band big hits. Track Listing: Rivers Of Babylon - Daddy Cool - Ma Baker - Brown Girl In The Ring - Sunny Hooray! Hooray! It’s A Holi-Holiday Dancing In The Streets - Belfast - El Lute - Rasputin - Gotta Go Home Great Culture Club hits heard here include ‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me,’ ‘The War Song,’ ‘It’s A Miracle,’ and of course the international number-one ‘Karma Chameleon,’ along with other favorites from the band’s first three music-changing albums. A treat for those who remember and those who will be amazed for the first time by the great Culture Club and its classic ‘80’s look and sound. Track Listing: It’s A Miracle - God Thank You Woman Karma Chameleon - Gusto Blusto Black Money - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me - Miss Me Blind - The War Song But we also get a more recent song that shows LaBelle lost no steps in the new decade. ‘New Day,’ from her 2004 Def Soul Classics album ‘Timeless Journey’ captures the excitement of Patti LaBelle’s long and exciting career. Track Listing: Lady Marmalade - New Attitude - Stir It Up - On My Own (with Michael McDonald) - Oh, People - Something Special (Is Gonna Happen Tonight) - Yo Mister - If You Asked Me To - When You’ve Been Blessed (Feels Like Heaven) - Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is) - All Right Now When You Talk About Love - New Day Beautiful, hard-driving, yet always meditative - here is Ravi Shankar in his prime. Track Listing: Tuning/Introduction - Rag Behag Shot in intimate circumstances at the BBC Studios in London, the program gives us an up-close view of the young Neil, as he switches between piano and guitar, talks humorously to his audience, and interprets his own work with intensity and commitment. In the many years since then, Neil Young has had one of the most compelling careers in folk and rock. Here we see him at the exciting breakout of that career. Track Listing: Out On The Weekend - Old Man Journey Through The Past - Heart Of Gold - Don’t Let It Bring You Down A Man Needs A Maid - Love In Mind Dance Dance Dance IMMORTAL POPULAR IMM-941015 IMM-941021 IMM-941018 IMM-941016 IMM-941013 Joan Armatrading On Stage George Clinton & The P-Funk All Stars Live In France 2005 Jeff Buckley Live In Tokyo - 1995 Lou Reed On Stage Carole King An Intimate Performance 8 712177 059669 8 712177 061297 8 712177 060542 8 712177 059676 8 712177 057795 The riveting Joan Armatrading, in her classic period: televised live-concert tracks from 1980, as well as two classic music videos. Featuring Lili Haydn - Violin and Vocals Jeff Buckley, whose life was so tragically cut off in 1997, performs live at Tokyo’s Liquid Room in 1995. The always fascinating Lou Reed, in televised live tracks from 1980, when he was introducing the benchmark album ‘Growing Up in Public.’ The great songwriter and singer Carole King, captured in her prime in 1971, breakout year of her smash album ‘Tapestry,’ with its number-one hit ‘It’s Too Late.’ In this amazing and intimate concert, Carole plays that and her other songs of the period, from ‘You’re So Far Away’ to ‘I Feel The Earth Move’ to ‘Smackwater Jack,’ accompanying herself on piano. Her singing is soulful and clear, and her personal manner is memorably endearing. The new album behind the live performances was the adventurous ‘Me Myself I,’ in which Joan was changing her style, leaving jazz-rock behind and pioneering a new blend of pop, reggae, and rock. Great songs from that album heard live here include the title track and ‘When You Kisses Me.’ Joan also gives us some earlier favorites, including ‘Love And Affection’ and ‘Show Some Emotion.’ The music videos are from the hit 1981 album ‘Walk under Ladders.’ Brilliant stuff from the 1980’s by one of the great originals, Joan Armatrading. Track Listing: Me Myself I - All The Way From America - Love And Affection - When You Kisses Me - He Wants Her - Show Some Emotion / Bonus video clips: The Weakness In Me - When I Get It Right The astounding George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars in a powerful live performance at Jazz à Vienne, France, in 2005. At once over-the-top, mysterious, and infectiously, irresistibly rhythmic, Clinton and the ensemble give extended treatments to three Clinton tunes and an all-out rock and roll medley recalling the roots of the music in Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and others. When the amazing violinist Lili Haydn joins in on ‘I’m Never Gonna Tell It,’ things get truly wild. A classic concert from one of the most innovative and enduring bands of our time. Track Listing: Bounce To This - I’m Never Gonna Tell It - Flashlight - Rock & Roll Medley In this concert, Buckley works in the trademark style that had made him a star of the alternative folk-rock scene of the early-1990’s East Village music scene: solo, accompanying himself with a Telecaster. The effect is haunting, intimate, deeply emotional. Favorites from his only completed album ‘Grace’ - ‘Mojo Pin,’ ‘So Real,’ and ‘Last Goodbye’ - get impressive treatment here. And Jeff closes this show with his inimitable cover of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah.’ A gorgeous and powerful evening from a star whose career ended much too soon. Here Lou reviews high points from his 1970’s career, with songs from ‘Transformer,’ ‘Berlin,’ and other albums - including, of course, a jumpy version of ‘Walk On The Wild Side.’ In the new album, Lou was taking a new approach. We’re treated to hear fresh, live versions of songs now classic: ‘My Old Man,’ ‘Standing on Ceremony,’ ‘So Alone,’ and ‘Keep Away.’ The band is sharp and clever; Lou’s idiosyncratic vocals are as crisp and deadpan as always. A rare look a Lou Reed making an early musical transition. Track Listing: Track Listing: Mojo Pin - So Real - Last Goodbye Hallelujah So Alone - Standing On Ceremony Walk On The Wild Side - Keep Away The Kids - Street Hassle - My Old Man Carole also delves into her earlier catalogue, from when she was an adept Brill Building songwriter for 1960’s acts like the Shirelles, singing her classics ‘Up On The Roof’ and ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,’ and the Aretha Franklin hit ‘A Natural Woman.’ And when James Taylor - then a brand-new superstar - accompanies Carole on guitar, a moment in rock history is fully recaptured. Track List: I Feel The Earth Move - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman - So Far Away - It’s Too Late - Smackwater Jack Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Up On The Roof IMMORTAL POPULAR IMM-941012 IMM-941010 IMM-941009 IMM-941008 IMM-941007 Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed & Suzy Bogguss Live In Nashville The Byrds Live The Carpenters Live On Stage The B-52’s Live Germany 1983 Baden Powell Quartet Tristeza Live 1970 8 712177 057603 8 712177 057504 8 712177 057511 8 712177 057344 8 712177 057375 Country guitar greats Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed come together in an all-star extravaganza, featuring the superstar country vocalist Suzy Bogguss, along with virtuoso Nashville players Mark O’Connor, Jerry Douglas, and others. Folk-rock pioneers the Byrds in a series of fascinating live and video clips from 1965-1970, followed by three live numbers from 1990, two featuring Bob Dylan. A gorgeous 1971 live performance from the Carpenters - capturing the duo at the moment of their breakout success. The B-52’s, in their peak incarnation, before the tragic death of guitarist Ricky Wilson, live in Germany in the spring of 1983. Perhaps the greatest of Brazilian guitarists, Baden Powell, leading his powerful quartet - plus Dulce Nunes on vocals - in lovely, closely knit numbers blending jazz, samba, Afro-Brazilian, and other influences. Atkins and Douglas duet beautifully on great songs like ‘Muleskinner Blues,’ Summertime,’ ‘Sneakin’ Around,’ and others. Suzy joins them for some good-time versions of ‘Ain’t Nobody’s Business’ and ‘Goin’ Down The Road,’ as well as for her own hits. The band rocks, and the unparalleled guitar artistry of Chet Atkins - and his influence on such talents as Jerry Reed - is fully on display. A great evening of all-American music.

Some of the songs come in exciting contexts: the Byrds collaborate with banjo master Earl Scruggs for ‘You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere’ and the footage gives us a glimpse of an unusual recording situation. Some of the numbers remind us of TV’s forays into rock and roll special effects. And the final three numbers show us the mature Byrds in reunion. An illuminating and thrilling collection of performances by one of our best-loved classic rock bands.

And an extended Bacharach-David medley reminds us of the beauty and sophistication of the best easy-listening soft rock of a classic period. Throughout the show, Karen Carpenter’s singing is pure, clear, and lovely, and the arrangements are consistently tasteful and appealing. A beautiful set of songs from that great duo, Richard and Karen Carpenter.

The B-52’s close the show with a powerful, danceable ‘Party Out Of Bounds,’ complete with edgy horns, percussion, keyboards, and yelling. This is an unforgettable evening of irresistible post-punk rock and roll. Track List: Song For A Future Generation - Planet Claire - Mesopotamia - Big Bird - Dance This Mess Around - Rock Lobster - Party Out Of Bounds It is 1970, and Baden Powell is at the top of his form, with gorgeous renditions of the well-loved compositions ‘Manha de Carnaval,’ ‘Tristeza,’ and ‘Samba Triste,’ among others. And in ‘Ferro de Passar,’ with its intense percussion, the quartet shows all the heat and dexterity Baden Powell brought to the seminal blending of African, jazz, and European-influenced sounds that is Brazilian music. A powerful and lovely concert from a master of Brazilian idioms. Track List: Manha de Carnaval - Tristeza - Tristeza e Solidão - Ferro de Passar - Insonia Garota de Ipanema - Aos Pes da Santa Cruz - Marcha Escocesa - Samba Triste IMMORTAL POPULAR IMM-941005 IMM-941004 IMM-941003 IMM-941002 IMM-940999 Buena Vista Social Club In Concert Germany 2006 Molly Hatchet Live In Kentucky Various Artists Pop-A-Licious Tom Petty Live In Chicago Donovan An Intimate Performance 8 712177 057351 8 712177 057399 8 712177 055647 The beautiful, powerful sound of the Buena Vista Social Club - accomplished Cuban music emerging from the classic Havana sounds that gave the world rumba, mambo, and salsa. When guitar genius Ry Cooder brought that music to the attention of the world in the 1996 album, and then in a film, the careers of some of the greatest artists in the world were revived. Hard-driving, nonstop Southern rock from the classic band Molly Hatchet - featuring both seminal lead guitarist Bobby Ingram and founding Hatchet lead guitarist Dave Hlubek, in a packed 2006 show in Kentucky. A fascinating package of classic music videos from the great days of the 1980’s and ‘90’s. 8 712177 055685 8 712177 055364 This 2006 concert in Germany gives us a line-up of artists who played on the album - including Manuel ‘Guajiro’ Mirabal and Orlando ‘Cachaito’ Lopez - along with other fine musicians in the same idiom, playing the Havana son and related forms that they have made their own and brought to international acclaim. A great evening of swinging Latin sounds. Track List: Realidad y Fantasia - Me Bote de Guano - No Vuelvo A Moron; Las Tres Marias; Apurrunenme Mujeres - Guajira in F Minor - El Cuarto de Tula The band’s biggest hit, ‘Flirtin’ With Disaster,’ is given blistering treatment here - but so are a raft of great songs associated with the late founding Molly Hatchet songwriter and singer Danny Joe Brown: ‘Whiskey Man,’ ‘Bounty Hunter,’ and ‘Devil’s Canyon’ among them.

Both ‘Happiness’ and ‘There Is A Mountain’ become rousing singalongs. Newer songs - for 1972! - like ‘Ordinary Family,’ ‘People Call Me The Pied Piper,’ and ‘Well Known Has-Been’ are also given careful interpretations.

King Memphis Blues Session 8 712177 054886 8 712177 054725 8 712177 054657 8 712177 054299 8 712177 054206 Tom Waits - raconteur, poet, singer, pianist, writer, genius, and one-man revivalist of a bygone world - in a 1978 concert from Austin, Texas. The Pretenders were icons of British post-punk, fronted by the cool, tough American lead singer and songwriter Chrissie Hynde. The band defined a time and established a sound for the new wave of the 1980’s. The astonishing Joni Mitchell in a 1970 concert recorded for a small, devoted British audience at the height of her first phase of stardom. Accompanied only by her own guitar, piano, and dulcimer, Joni shows all the extraordinaty confidence and musicality that had quickly made her an international star of singing and songwriting. The titanic blues master and icon B. B. King in a concert deftly filmed in the musical hotbed of Memphis, scene of the earliest success of the ‘Beale Street Blues Boy.’ Joined by other great blues artists - Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Koko Taylor, and Robert Cray among them B.B. here relives his greatest hits across many decades, sings and plays blues standards, and leads the polished, hardrocking ensemble sound that has long been his stock in trade. Disco diva Donna Summer in an exciting live 1999 concert, deftly shot at New York City’s fabled Hammerstein Ballroom. Here the emerging star, strikingly young and self-assured in his compelling skid-row persona, takes us on a series of amazing journeys, at once comic and poignant, and full of the down-at-heels characters only Tom Waits can bring to life. In songs like ‘On The Nickel,’ ‘I Wish I Was In New Orleans,’ ‘Romeo Is Bleeding,’ ‘Small Change’ and others, Tom Waits conjures an entire universe. One of our most idiosyncratic writers and performers, captured at an early moment in his amazing career. Track List: Summertime / Burma-Shave - Annie’s Back In Town / I Wish I Was In New Orleans / Ain’t Gonna Rain - Sweet Little Bullet From A Pretty Blue Gun - On The Nickel - Romeo Is Bleeding - Silent Night / Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis - Small Change / Hey, Big Spender / Small Change (reprise) This 1998 concert, with Hynde and Martin Chambers from the original line-up - and Adam Seymour on guitar, Andy Hobson on bass, and Zeb Jamerson on keyboards - displays both the timelessness of the Pretenders’ original rock and roll hits and the artistic persistence of Chrissie herself. Through trial and tragedy, Hynde and the band have continued to perfect the Pretenders’ amazing sound. Hits like ‘Message Of Love’ and ‘Kid’ are given new life in this hard-driving, cohesive concert. ‘Back On The Chain Gang’ and ‘My City Was Gone’ have never sounded better. And Chrissie takes on a song in Spanish, using her gorgeous rock voice to find meaning and nuance in unfamiliar material. With revealing commentary from Chrissie herself, this concert is a mustsee for all fans of the Pretenders - and of classic rock and roll. Track List: Message Of Love - Kid - Night In My Veins - Middle Of The Road - Don’t Get Me Wrong - My City Was Gone - Back On The Chain Gang - Rabo De Nube Mystery Achievement Many songs that had already established Joni’s reputation are heard here: ‘Chelsea Morning,’ ‘Both Sides Now,’ ‘For Free,’ and ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ among them. She also presents ‘My Old Man’ in an unfinished version, and ‘California’ with beautiful dulcimer accompaniment - both would grace her next album, the benchmark ‘Blue,’ which would take Joni’s career in a new direction. A beautuful program that brings back a bygone musical moment. Track List: Chelsea Morning - Cactus Tree - My Old Man - For Free - California - Big Yellow Taxi - Both Sides Now Throughout, there is the unmistakable sound of B.B.’s wailing electric guitar - the famous ‘Lucille’ - as well as the sharp vocals, witty showmanship, and sheer charisma that have made B.B. King an icon of blues and American show business. And rare archival material and revealing interviews help make this program an extraordinary tribute to one of the great artists of our time. Track List: T-Bone Shuffle (with Joe Louis Walker) Three O’Clock Blues - Ain’t Nobody’s Business (with Ruth Brown) - The Thrill Is Gone - I Can’t Quit You Baby (with Buddy Guy) - Stormy Monday (with Albert Collins) - You Can Have My Husband (with Irma Thomas) Playin’ With My Friends (with Robert Cray) - Sweet Home Chicago (with Koko Taylor); Kansas City (with Irma Thomas); You Ain’t Good Lookin’ ) (with Ruth Brown) - Hey, Hey The Blues Is Alright (with ensemble) Donna Summer Live From New York From ‘On The Radio,’ perhaps her most haunting ballad, to such throbbing smash dance tracks as ‘This Time I Know It’s For Real,’ ‘I Feel Love,’ ‘Dim All The Lights,’ ‘Bad Girls,’ ‘Hot Stuff, and more - including the indelible r&b classic ‘She Works Hard For The Money’ - Donna re-lives an amazing career of hitmaking. And she sprinkles in both a Gershwin classic and her own showstopping, original musical-theater compositions. A thrilling evening of powerful singing.

Jerry Lee Lewis presents a thrilling evening of rock and roll and country music - in trademark ‘Killer’ style. The magnificent Supremes, in a remarkable series of live and televised appearances - showcasing both the irresistible songwriting of the Motown songwriting team Holland-DozierHolland and the emergence of Diana Ross as a superstar. Dwight Yoakam, star of honky-tonk and Hollywood, in a rocking live concert from 1986, the year of his breakout success with his first album, ‘Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.’ Yoakam’s youthful appeal and hillbilly style are everywhere apparent in this show, shot before an enthusiastic audience at the Peterborough Music Festival in England. Skynyrd, worldwide ambassadors of the deep-South soul. Featuring original members, hard-core sidemen, and the great Ronnie Van Zandt’s brother Johnny on powerful vocals, Skynyrd brings enormous intensity and virtuosity to their many greatest and best-loved songs. ‘Sweet Home Alabama,’ ‘What’s Your Name,’ ‘That Smell,’ and many others including, of course, a long and moving ‘Free Bird’- all are not only lovingly re-created but also come alive in new ways, with blistering guitars, guttural singing, and propulsive rhythm. A powerful show - from one of rock’s great classic acts. Track List: We Ain’t Much Different – What’s Your Name - Voodoo Lake - That Smell Bring It On - Simple Man - Sweet Home Alabama – Travellin’ Man - Freebird Foghat (known for huge 1970’s hits like ‘Slow Ride’) opens the proceedings with its trademark searing, proto-metal blues, on Robert Johnson’s ‘Sweet Home Chicago’ and Elmore James’s ‘It Hurts Me Too.’ Dave ‘Honeyboy’ Edwards, Eddie ‘Bluesman’ Kirkland, John Lee Hooker, and Otis Blackwell give a primer in low-down blues roots. Then U.S. revivalists Paul Butterfield and Johnny Winter blow the doors off. And the amazing Muddy Water brings down the house with ‘Hoochie Coochie Man’ - with the whole ensemble getting together for a powerful, throbbing ‘I Just Want To Make Love to You.’ Blues at its best - and a night to remember.

In others, they are pioneering an early form of the music video. In some, they sing for live audiences, with humorous commentary from Diana Ross. And all of their great hits of the mid1960’s are here: ‘Where Did Our Love Go, ‘ ‘Baby Love, ‘ ‘Stop! In The Name Of Love, ‘ ‘My World Is Empty Without You, ‘ and many others.

A star-studded, fully packed program of great hits of the 1960’s - performed by the original performers, in an amazing variety of television settings, from the early lip-synching of Freddy & the Dreamers to the sweaty, over-the-top hard rocking of Otis Redding. The brilliant, powerful Marvin Gaye, in stellar performances drawn from two concerts given when the great soul singer – perhaps the greatest of his generation – was at his mature peak. The amazing Roberta Flack, seen and heard in the live concert settings that have always been her greatest medium. ‘Rawhide,’ ‘That Lucky Old Sun,’ ‘Jealousy,’ ‘Lord, You Gave Me A Mountain,’ ‘Jezebel’ - these and other Laine favorites are all reprised for a wildly enthusiastic audience. Frankie also moves easily between his honky-tonk cover of Hank Williams’s ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart’ to the standard ‘Feelings’ - all part of the unforgettable class, warmth, and musicality that are Frankie Laine. The songs and the singers who changed music history are here: ‘Time Is On My Side, ‘ from a very young, very cool Rolling Stones; the Searchers with ‘Needles and Pins ‘; the gorgeous Marvin Gaye on ‘Take This Heart Of Mine ‘; ahead-of-its time funk-rock from Sly & the Family Stone; good-time swamp rock from Creedence Clearwater Revival; psychedelia from Vanilla Fudge; soul from James Brown and the Supremes; blue-eyed soul from Dusty Springfield; and so much more. Classic, hard-driving videos from such varied and exciting rockers as Def Leppard, Asia, and John Mellencamp - as well as rootsier acts ranging from Billy Ray Cyrus to Bonnie Raitt. Pop favorites like Raitt’s ‘Not The Only One,’ the J. Geils Band’s ‘Freeze Frame,’ and Kiss’s ‘Domino’ are presented side-by-side with such creative uses of video technology as Björk’s ‘Isobel,’ Los Lobos’ ‘Kiko And The Lavender Moon,’ and Bonham’s ‘Change Of A Season.’ And some of these videos simply rock hard: examples include Uriah Heep’s ‘Sweet Freedom,’ two entries from Asia, and Def Leppard’s ‘Make Love Like A Man.’ An infectious and thrilling collection.

Early hits are here: a killer ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’; a hardswinging ‘How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)’; and a moving medley of the benchmark duets with Tammi Terrell, who had died in 1970. The maturing Marvin Gaye of ‘Let’s Get It On’ and ‘Mercy Mercy Me / What’s Goin’ On’ gets a complete hearing too, with Marvin himself and his astonishingly sharp sidemen taking extended trips through those pioneering landscapes. And in irresistibly funky numbers like ‘A Funky Space Reincarnation’ and ‘Trouble Man,’ Marvin rivals the improvisatory achievements of such ensembles as Parliament-Funkadelic. Marvin Gaye’s amazing career, cut short far too soon, has been indelibly captured in these thrilling live performances.

The act that defined an era in sophisticated pop, Steely Dan, in a rare, intimate concert appearance from the year 2000. Electronic keyboards, drum machines, big hair, glam suits, strange effects: ‘Remember the ‘80’s’ returns us to a classic era in both music and music video. Guitar pyrotechnics, searing vocal harmonies, athletic stage antics, head-banging beats - all the classic elements of the hardest rocking heavy metal can be both seen and heard in this wide-ranging collection of 18 classic metal videos. The great singer, songwriter, and pianist Nina Simone gives a fascinating and inspiring live concert - shot in 1984 in a club in London. From the English-language songs ‘Dreaming Of You’ and ‘I Could Fall In Love’ to the all-Spanish sounds of ‘No Debes Jugar,’ ‘Vas a Sufrir,’ ‘La Llamada,’ and many others, this program combines expressive video imagery with the horns, guitars, percussion, orchestral effects, and polished, emotive singing that have become trademarks of today’s best Latin music.

The earliest days of the music video were over: both the artists and their directors were inventing new ways of telling stories, capturing emotions, and weaving music together with all the possibilities of a new medium. Thus we get such well-loved and fondly remembered videos as ‘Come On, Eileen,’ from Dexy & the Midnight Runners; Frankie’s ‘Two Tribes’; ABC’s ‘Poison Arrow’; Dire Straits’ ‘Romeo And Juliet’; Dr. Hook’s ‘When You’re In Love With A Beautiful Woman,’ and many more.

Bon Jovi gives us classic ‘80’s musicvideo style with ‘In And Out Of Love.’ Sammy Hagar does a live ‘Missing You.’ Girlschool gives a welcome female touch to the proceedings, with ‘20th Century Boy.’ Ted Nugent shows muscularity - and vocal and guitar virtuosity - in ‘Tied Up In Love.’ All in all, it’s a paint-peeling, mind-blowing trip through the sights and sounds of heavy metal.

Punk-rock superstars Blondie play an astonishing concert in Toronto in 1982 - at the climax of the band’s amazing, groundbreaking career. Mixing traditional music with his original work for drums and voices, Olatunji leads the ensemble through a powerful series of hypnotic rhythms, matched by the swirling visual effects of his gorgeously costumed dancers - showing once again why Yoruba drumming became an international world-music phenomenon in the 1950’s and ’60’s and remains so today. The range is wide: from smooth mainstays like Duran Duran, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Spandau Ballet, to punk-influenced eccentricities like Scritti Pollitti and Talking Heads, to the bi-racial feminist anthem ‘Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves’ - with which Aretha Franklin and the Eurythmics’ Annie Lennox triumphantly close this collection. Great soul sounds - from the irresistibility of the Staple Singers to the elegance of Dionne Warwick, from the expressiveness of Bill Withers to the sophistication of Smokey Robinson, from the power and charm of Al Green to the fun of the Four Tops, and much more - all seen here in early video performances that reveal the extraordinary energy and freshness of the singers who defined the 1960’s in American music. The program is introduced by Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart - who launched Planet Drum with the master in the 1990’s, connecting rock, jazz, and other Western songs to the throbbing power heard here from the great Olatunji. A must-have return to the 1980’s for nostalgia buffs and lovers of classic pop alike. Track List: Ajaja - Akiwowo/Babalu - Odun de!

Along with singing, the Temps also dance, of course, and here they fully showcase the irresistible precision moves with which they came out of Detroit r&b to capture the hearts of America and the world. A churchy rendition of ‘Old Man River’ adds to the excitement. It’s a big evening of singing and dancing, of r&b and funk, from one of the greatest vocal groups of all time.

Debbie Harry’s crystalline lead singing, Chris Stein’s guitar playing and smart, tough writing, Clem Nurke’s drumming. Nigel Harrison’s bas playing, and Jimmy Destri’s trademark revival of the Farfisa organ - these elements came together in one of the most polished and compelling bands ot only of punk rock but of rock and roll itself. This concert was shot only four years after the breakout success of ‘Heart of Glass,’ the band’s record-breaking smash hit, melding punk and disco: ‘Rapture,’ which the band plays here, was introducing new audiences to the then-obscure form known as rap. Blondie’s moment was about to be over. This concert catches an amazing act at its absolute best.

Barry, his girl trio Love Unlimited, and the fabled Love Unlimited Orchestra perform Barry’s greatest hits of the era and revel in the adoration of a wildly enthusiastic audience of fans in Frankfurt, Germany. One amazing night in 1972, the greats of swing - Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Bennie Goodman - came together at New York’s Philharmonic Hall for a jazz blowout.

Those huge hits and many others get overwhelmingly powerful treatment, fully demonstrating the raw power and intense sexuality of the young Tina Turner. Tina sings with her trademark huskiness and utter commitment and dances with the abandon that introduced hipsters of the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s to new levels of earthiness. Led by Ike Turner, the bands that drive Tina’s charisma blend rock drums, r&b horns, and blues guitars in irresistible combinations of groove and virtuosity; the Ike-ettes meanwhile swirl, belt, and gyrate.

In gorgeous voice, backed by a sharp band and vocal trio, always deeply in the groove, Green lets his emotions (and his trademark falsetto) range freely over ten gospel gems - transforming each song into a personal statement of religious and rhythmic ecstasy.

Return to the days of the hard-riding, pistol-packing, guitar-strumming and ever-crooning cowboy in this superb program of selections from classic singing-cowboy films — starring the great Western stars Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Sons of the Pioneers, Rex Allen, Tex Ritter, and Eddie Dean. ‘You Were Always on My Mind,’ ‘On the Road Again,’ ‘Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground’ - these hits are prominently featured, as are exciting numbers like ‘Black and White Rag’ and ‘Amor’ (with Willie and Little Joe singing in Spanish). And the concert climaxes with a moving gospel medley. A special evening.

Keith’s guitar solos and surging chords remind us of the sparse, tasteful, yet always intense approach he has taken to the development of rock guitar. And the band - dubbed by Keith the X-Pensive Winos - is one of the best in the business, featuring such veteran session players (and stars in their own right) as Waddy Wachtel, Ivan Neville, and Steve Jordan. With backup singers Sarah Dash and Babi Floyd, Keith achieves extraordinary soulfulness in his own lead vocals (all too rare in his work with the Stones) - and nowhere more so than on a dub cover of Sly & Robbie’s ‘Too Rude.’ A great evening of no-nonsense, straight-ahead, all-star rock and roll from one of the masters. Track List: DVD1: Take It So Hard - Eileen - Wicked As It Seems - Gimme Shelter - Too Rude - Yap Yap - How I Wish - 999 DVD2: Big Enough - Demon - Time Is On My Side - Hate It When You Leave - I Could Have Stood You Up - Before They Make Me Run - Bodytalks - Will But You Won´t - Happy - Encore: Whip It Up Many great Genesis hits get all-out, extended rock treatment in this fullypacked concert, featuring founding members Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, along with Ray Wilson on vocals, Anthony Drennan on guitar, and Nir Zidkyahu on drums. ‘Land Of Confusion,’ ‘The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway,’ ‘Firth Of Fifth,’ ‘Congo,’ ‘Mama,’ and other well-loved favorites from the classic era are all here.

An overwhelmingly intense and infectious two-disc concert from the titanic Latin supergroup the Fania All Stars. Shot before a huge, constantly gyrating audience of thousands, some of the greatest artists in salsa display the dazzling virtuosity and ensemble fluidity that has made salsa - and these stars themselves - indelible parts of the global music scene. This riveting, powerful concert from Nusrat Fateh Aki Khan, world-renowned master of qawwali, was shot before an increasingly ecstatic audience in Birmingham, England, in 1993 - only four years before Nusrat’s death. The great Rubén Blades - singer, salsa pioneer, musical pan-Latinist, activist, politician, lawyer - in a richly packed concert that displays both his extraordinary musical versatility and his solid grounding in the music of his youth. “We’ve Only Just Begun”... “Close to You”... “For All We Know”... These and other memorable performances by the Carpenters defined 1970’s easy listening and made an indelible impression on American pop. This richly detailed documentary - packed with rare performance footage and star interviews - explores the music and career of Richard and Karen Carpenter, bringing to life not only the extraordinary polish of their music but also the poignancy and closeness in their relationship. When they gave this benchmark, extended concert in Germany, Colin and Jon Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Phil Selway, and Thom Yorke had spent the 1990’s establishing themselves as the most important and innovative British and international rock band of the decade. Songs heard here from their amazing breakout period include ‘Paranoid Android,’ from the smash album ‘OK Computer,’ and the title song from the breakthrough album ‘The Bends.’ But in 2000 and 2001, Radiohead was defying expectations with a new, complex, jazz-and-classical influenced sound that took innovation to new levels. In songs like ‘I Might Be Wrong’ and ‘Pyramid Song’ - along with others heard in compelling live form here - from the famous sessions that led to nowclassic albums ‘Kid A’ and ‘Amnesiac,’ Radiohead once again made converts of skeptics and found new fans. A watershed concert from one of the most remarkable ensembles of our time. Track List: DVD1: The National Anthem - Morning Bell - Lucky - Talk Show Host - In Limbo - My Iron Lung - Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box - Exit Music - No Surprises - Dollars And Cents - Street Spirit - You And Whose Army? - Karma Police DVD2: I Might Be Wrong - Pyramid Song - Paranoid Android - Idioteque - Everything In Its Right Place - Airbag Just - The Bends - How To Disappear Completely There are featured contributions from greats like Celia Cruz, Adalberto Santiago, Ismael Miranda, Cheo Feliciano, and others - and within the relentlessly swinging, driving ensemble are such classic salsa pioneers as Willie Colon, Papo Lucca, Bobby Valentin, Johnny Pacheco, Eddie Montalvo, and many others. Deft multiple camera work somehow manages to keep up with and capure every bit of the humorous byplay, sweaty dancing, searing soloing, and sheer power of this huge yet tight-knit all-star ensemble. A truly exciting evening. Track List: DVD1: Descarga Fania - Adalberto Santiago / Quítate La Máscara Adalberto Santiago / Borinquen Tiene Montuno - Ismael Miranda / Así Se Compone Un Son - Ismael Miranda / Puerto Rico; Adoracíon - Ismael Quintana / Anacaona - Cheo Feliciano / Sobre Una Tumba Humilde - Cheo Feliciano DVD2: El Ratón - Cheo Feliciano / Cúcala - Celia Cruz / Bemba Colorá Celia Cruz / Quítate Tú - Todos Los Cantantes / Su Gente - Todos Los Cantantes / Ponte Duro - Todos Los Cantantes / Reprise This program invites us to immerse ourselves in the dancing, mystical, hypnotic, and at times overwhelmingly infectious sounds that Nusrat’s brand of Sufi mysticism brought to audiences the world over - and was a key part of world-music iconography even before they were heard on the soundtrack to the feature film Dead Man Walking. Although Nusrat became known, in part through dancefloor remixes, for adventurous collaborations with Western musicians - he freely mixed funk, rock, disco, and jazz with qawwali - this concert hews to the beautifully stripped-down traditions of the qawwali ensemble in which Nusrat was raised. Harmonium drones, call-and-response singing, traditional drumming, and the trenchant, part-improvised vocalizing of the great Nusrat himself usher us into the mystical journey - part meditation, part erotica - that is Sufi devotion. By the end of the show, the concertgoers are dancing in the aisles - and the viewer may be too. A thrilling and moving evening. Track List: Allah Hoo Allah Hoo - Sare Nabian Da Imam- Ali Da Malang - Thhori Der Hor Thehr Ja - Akhian Udeek Dian Husn Walon Se Allah Bachaye - Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho - Chisht Ke Tajewar - Kinna Sohna - Mere Man Ka Raja - Dam Mast Qalandar Irresistible salsa is a hallmark of the concert - in such songs as ‘Juan Pachanga’ and ‘Plástico,’ with their slow buildups to overwhelming intensity; ‘Decisiones,’ proffering a more romantic mood of hard-driving salsa; and ‘Camaleón,’ with its interplay between a sweet fiddle melody and slow, old-school, ballroom rumba. In other, mellower moods - ‘Sebastian,’ say - Rubén is a powerful narrator and interpreter in a folk style. The band can mix advanced jazz soloing with the grittiest call-andresponse singing. And even in the more romantic and plaintive songs, percussion is at the forefront. For one song, Rubén even goes so far as to feature bagpiper Eric Rigler, mixing the Celtic and the African for a truly global sound. From his breakout in the early ‘70’s with Willie Colón and Hector Lavoe, to his own innovations in blending all forms of Latin music (and many non-Latin forms as well), to his activism both in music and real-life politics, Rubén Blades has walked a unique path. This concert offers strong testament to his awesome originality and innate authenticity. Track List: Caminando - Juan Pachanga - Pablo Pueblo - Decisiones - Buscando Guayaba - Plástico - The Hag At The Churn – Sebastián - Te Están Buscando - El Padre Antonio Y Su Monaguillo Andrés - Plantación Adentro - Camaleón - La Murga - Sin Tu Cariño - Todos Vuelven - Amor Y Control - Ligia Elena - El Nacimiento De Ramiro - Maestra Vida - Pedro Navaja Tiburón - Patria Close to You: Remembering the Carpenters tells the moving story of Richard and Karen Carpenter as brother and sister - and as adept musical collaborators. From their childhood in Connecticut and California to the smash success of their shimmering ‘70’s hits, Close to You details the musical and personal ingredients that made the Carpenters special. In vintage clips and rarely seen backstage and studio footage, the clarity and intimacy of Karen’s singing, Richard’s virtuoso keyboard playing, and the gorgeous vocal harmonizing that was the siblings’ trademark are all given close attention. The Carpenters’ performances of their classic hits “Close To You,” “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “For All We Know,” “Rainy Days And Mondays,” and many others are sure to delight. Family photographs and other archival materials - as well as revealing interviews with Herb Alpert, Burt Bacharach, Paul Williams, and Richard Carpenter himself - evoke both the musical triumph and the personal tragedy that marked the Carpenters’ career. DVD bonus material includes the Carpenters’ White House appearance, a photo gallery, a discography, and a choice of Spanish, French, and English subtitles.
