Miles Davis live in 1983 - at the peak of
what many were calling his ‘comeback,’
following the benchmark album, ‘The
Man with the Horn’ and its succesors.
This concert was deftly shot in Warsaw,
when Davis gathered an astonishing
ensemble of young musicians and
began working out ultimate implications
of the jazz-rock fusion he’d pioneered
in the 1970’s.
Stevie Nicks - ethereal, intense, moody,
and powerful - in a benchmark live
concert from Colorado’s beautiful Red
Rocks Amphitheater.
A fascinating collection of Nirvana video
hits and rarities - returning us to a time
when the powerful, brooding, often
gorgeous mystery that was Nirvana
brought a new and even shocking
presence to the music-video culture that
had dominated the pop of the 1980’s.
The mighty Solomon Burke, the ‘King
of Rock and Soul,’ in an astonishing
concert from the North Sea Jazz
Festival in 2003 - deftly shot to capture
all the intensity, flamboyance, and grit
that Burke has been bringing to his
music for sixty years.
Men at Work - those quintessentially
Australian, characteristically 1980’s,
strikingly original rockers - in a highenergy concert deftly shot in San
Bernadino in 1983.
Including three ‘In Bloom’ videos - one
created in 1990, the others varying
takes on a dark parody made after the
band had become superstars - along
with other startling and sometimes
rare productions like videos for ‘Heart
Shaped Box,’ ‘Sliver,’ and ‘Sappy’ (along
with the Weird Al Yankovich parody
‘Smells Like Nirvana’!), this collection is
rich in visual and musical excitement.
The show itself, with its huge band
- including a soul harpist! - and an
actual throne for King Solomon,
recalls the great times when, in the
church-influenced r&b revues of the
chitlin-circuit years, Burke’s early music
came to life.
The show is filled with beautiful
moments of interplay among Davis who plays both trumpet and keyboards
(and sometimes both at once!) - and his
ensemble, which includes an amazing
array of stalwarts and jazz stars-to-be:
guitarist John Scofield, drummer Al
Foster, and bassist Robert Irving III
among them.
The funk is always there - but the
filigree and delicacy of the improvising
takes us to unexpected new places.
Miles numbers of the 80’s, considered
classic ever since, are heard here:
‘Star People,’ ‘Speak,’ ‘What It Is,’
‘That’s Right,’ and more. And through
it all we hear the brooding, explosive,
always original sound of Miles’s horn. A
gorgeous event.
Track List:
Speak - Star People - What It Is - It Gets
Better - Hopscotch - That’s Right - Code
M.D. - Star On Cicely - Jean Pierre Unknown S - Speak - Speak (reprise)
Deftly shot in 1986, when Nicks was
at the peak of her solo stardom, this
hard-driving, hit-packed show returns us
to the moment when Stevie had stepped
out on her own. While Fleetwood Mac’s
ups and downs would go on, by the mid1980’s, Stevie Nicks had established
herself as a major star in her own right.
Here we see her with the famous
backup vocal trio, a big, overwhelmingly
tight, hard-rocking band, and a huge
crowd of fans filling the amphitheater.
Songs span her career to date, from
‘Dreams’ to ‘Edge Of Seventeen,’ from
‘Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For
You’ to ‘Beauty And The Beast.’
Stevie’s singing is tough and strong,
her presence as magical as ever. A
fascinating and gorgeous evening,
testament to a great rock star.
Track List:
Outside The Rain - Dreams - Talk To
Me - I Need To Know - No Spoken
Word - Beauty And The Beast - Stand
Back - Has Anyone Ever Written
Anything For You - Edge Of Seventeen
Bringing 1980’s video styles to a
climax, even while dissenting from
them, Nirvana put an indelible stamp
on rock and roll. A moving and intense
collection.
Track List:
Come As You Are - Heart Shaped Box In Bloom - In Bloom - Lithium - Sliver Smells Like Nirvana - Smells Like Teen
Spirit - You Know You’re Right - In
Bloom - Aneurysm - All Apologies - The
Man Who Sold The World - Sappy Downer
Solomon does it all here: moving
gospel-tinged balladry (‘Don’t Give Up
On Me’), a rock and roll medley, and
swinging r&b hits like Burke’s influential
‘Down In The Valley.’ His vocals remain
full of passion and power - and at each
of the many climaxes, you won’t be sure
whether you’re in church or at a concert.
An overwhelming evening of sheer
soul magic.
Track List:
The Greeting Song - Down In The
Valley - Diamond In Your Mind - Medley:
If You Need Me; Tonight’s The Night; I
Almost Lost My Mind; He’ll Have To Go;
Got To Get You Off My Mind; Having A
Party; Amen - Soul Searchin’ - Georgia

Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be
Free) - Proud Mary - Don’t Give Up On
Me - Mona Lisa (Selassie Burke) - I
Will Survive (Candy Burke) - Medley:
Long Tall Sally; Lucille; Tutti Frutti - May
The Good Lord Bless And Keep You Everybody Needs Somebody To Love
This concert brings back the power,
taste, and flat-out infectous groove
that made Men at Work burst on the
international music scene.
The hits are unforgettable - ‘Who
Can It Be Now’ and ‘Down Under’
broke records, topping Australian,
U.K., and U.S. charts - and they get
brilliant treatment here. Other amazing
numbers include ‘Mr. Entertainner,’ with
poly-rhythms recalling ska, reggae, and
Afro-pop; the classic-punk roboticism of
‘Helpless Automation,’ and the crowdpleasing finale, ‘Be Good Johnny,’
among many other standout moments.
The 1980’s, too, are fully on display - in
Colin Hay’s white jumpsuit, red postpunk haircut and sci-fi shades, and in
his serio-comic new-wave dancing. The
music, though, is all business.
This show reminds us what a tight,
exciting band Men at Work was, and
how much fun ‘80’s rock could be.
Track List:
I Can See It In Your Eyes - No

Longest Night - Blue For You - Who

The Police - ultimate 1980’s post-punk
rockers - in a highly energized live

reggae classics are heard here - in the
powerful, extended concert versions for
which Bob Marley was justly famous.
The band is made up of some of the
greatest Jamaican artists, including
Aston ‘Family Man’ Barrett and Carlton
‘Carlie’ Barrett (whose drums, bass and
percussion helped put the early Wailers
on the map), as well as Tyrone Downie
on keyboards, ‘Seeco’ on percussion,
and Junior Marvin on guitar. And the
I-Three, Bob’s famous backup trio, give
us a brief solo set to start off the show.
Through the whole swaying, hypnotic
evening, Bob himself dominates,
reminding us of the timeless musical
and spiritual power he brought to an
amazing career.

Gone,’ ‘Sara Smile,’ ‘Kiss On My List,’
‘Maneater,’ ‘One On One,’ ‘Private
Eyes,’ and so many others. The duo
revisits its famous covers of ‘You’ve Lost
That Lovin’ Feeling’ and ‘Family Man.’
The energy at the Montreal Forum is
palpable, as blistering guitars, powerful
drums, and driving keyboards blend
with the sweet, strong soul voices of
Hall & Oates - the characteristic rocking
‘blue-eyed soul’ sound of which they
were masters in the late 1970’s and
early 1980’s.
The band is hot and tight - and features
guitarist G.E. Smith, shortly before he
became musical
director of ‘Saturday Night Live’ and lead
guitarist for Bob Dylan. An exciting trip

The amazing Queen - starring the
equally amazing Freddie Mercury - in
a mindblowing live concert for a sea of
thrilled fans in Rio de Janeiro in 1985.
Deep Purple - one of the great
pioneering bands of heavy metal - in
all its live wildness. Screaming guitars,
machine-gun drumming, brooding,
mystical lyrics, and the raw-throated
singing of Ian Gillan: These live
performances remind us why dozens of
younger bands patterned themselves
on Deep Purple, and why heavy metal
became an indelible force in rock.
Here is Queen at its absolute peak.
Campy theatricality combines with
astounding rock virtuosity and sheer
passion in a set of extraordinary songs
brought to life by Freddie’s astonishing
charisma.
‘Tie Your Mother Down,’ ‘Radio Ga-Ga,’
‘Seven Seas Of Rhye,’ ‘We Will Rock
You,’ ‘We Are The Champions,’ and
other great hits are given powerful
treatment here. And of course there’s
a live version of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’
with Freddie - shirtless by this point in
the show - reminding us of the intensity
of his vocal style and the power of his
rock piano. (The band also shows the
pioneering video that helped make
‘Rhapsody’ a hit.)
Deft camera work brings the show to
sweaty life - and overhead shots reveal
the throngs of Rio fans, all riveted to
Queen’s unique brand of rock and roll
theater. By the time the fireworks go
off – literally - at the climax, Rio fans and
DVD viewers alike will find themselves
fully sated.

This is the classic lineup: Ian singing,
Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord
on keyboards, Roger Glover on bass,
and Ian Paice on drums. Interplay
among the band members is intense with Jon improvising dazzling keyboard
sounds and Ritchie swinging his
guitar around his head, while the most
propulsive rhythm section in rock drives
them on.
‘Speed King,’ ‘Child In Time,’ ‘Highway
Star,’ ‘Wring That Neck,’ ‘Smoke On The
Water’ - these and other huge hits are
given powerful treatment here. And as
an added excitement, we also get four
mind-blowing performances from one of
Ian Gillan’s hard-driving solo projects. A
blistering gathering of sheer rock power.

Deep Purple: Speed King - No, No, No Child In Time - Highway Star - Wring

Mandrake Root / Ian Gillan: Demon’s
Eye - When A Blind Man Cries - Lucille Smoke On The Water
The glamorous, talented Diana Ross - in
all her glory in Las Vegas in 1979.
This was a peak career moment for
Diana, and she revels in every bit
of the divahood that was even then
becoming hers. Through every change
of gorgeous, glittery costume - including
a full-on Billie Holiday look - the ultimate
Motown singer brings to her many hits
all the intensity, humor, and charisma
that have made her a superstar for all
these decades.
‘Baby Love,’ her great Supremes hit,
gets a beautiful revisiting here. The
great early solo hits are on display too:
‘Touch Me In The Morning,’ ‘Reach Out
And Touch,’ and of course ‘Ain’t No
Mountain High Enough.’ Diana also
gives us a moving Billie Holiday tribute,
and showcases songs that were new
then and have since become classics
- ‘No One Gets The Prize,’ ‘I Ain’t Been
Licked,’ ‘All For One,’ and ‘It’s My
House’ among them.
An exciting evening from one of the
great superstars of our time.

Tokyo concert, captured on video in

Mariah can be seen here bringing the

This was the famous Daydream Tour, in
support of the album of that name. The
album yielded ‘Fantasy,’ ‘One Sweet
Day,’ and ‘Always Be My Baby,’ among
other huge hits, which Mariah gives
dramatic treatment here.
Among the other favorites she belts
out are ‘Emotions,’ ‘Without You,’
‘Dreamlover,’ ‘Vision Of Love’ and

Mariah gives her exuberant Japanese
fans at the Tokyo Dome a taste of
Christmas with her now-perennial hit ‘All

Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and
Liza Minnelli - three amazing icons of
American popular song, together on one
stage. The time is 1988, and all three of
these powerhouse superstars are in fine
voice, each bringing uniquely personal
style and artistry to a fully packed
evening of classic music.
Dire Straits plays an early live concert,
performed in Germany in 1979 and
deftly captured on video.
The amazing genius of Stevie Wonder,
presented in an intimate concert setting
for the BBC. In 1995, when this concert
was deftly captured on video, Wonder
had already enjoyed an astonishing and
visionary career - first as ‘Little Stevie,’
Motown prodigy, then as a musical
adventurer in funk and electronics.
The amazing Cher - in an
overwhelmingly theatrical live concert.
Cher brings her unforgettable personal
style, tough rock and pop vocals, unique
sense of costume, and flat-out stage
presence to an extraordinary range of
songs from past and present.
Two superstar piano men - Billy Joel and
Sir Elton John - together in one hardrocking, deftly shot concert, featuring
amazing duets and greatest hits from
two of the greatest pop catalogues.
Filmed before a huge, rapt audience
at the Tokyo Dome, the concert begins
with two gorgeous duets: Elton’s ‘Your
Song’ and ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down
On Me,’ with the stars trading verses to
great effect. Billy rocks the Tokyo Dome
with a string of his own unforgettable
hits, from ‘The Stranger’ to ‘I Go To
Extremes’ - and pays homage to Elton
with a soaring interpretation of ‘Candle
In The Wind.’
The duets get really intense with
‘My Life,’ where Elton belts out the
verses with utter conviction, even
while cracking Billy up by wearing
a mask. The two stay together for a
showstopping lineup of ‘Bitch Is Back,’
‘You May Be Right,’ and - appropriately
enough - ‘Piano Man.’ A glittering
evening of incredible songs, harddriving music, and the collaboration of
pop giants.
Each singer gets a solo portion, and
each brings down the house. Sammy
does ‘Candy Man,’ ‘Music Of The Night,’
and other favorites, singing, dancing,
and chatting with all the charisma that
made him an American hero in the
1950’s and ‘60’s. Liza blows the roof
off with songs like ‘Cabaret’ and ‘Ring
Them Bells’ - but she also brings nuance
and sensitivity to two Charles Azvanour
numbers. And Frank brings his classic
phrasing and unforgettable intelligence
to standards like ‘Where Or When,’ ‘One
For My Baby,’ and others.
The show concludes with an extended
medley of an astonishing number of
songs, with all three stars taking part,
ribbing one another, and returning us to
the glory days of classic pop.

Here we see the original band in the
first blush of its amazing international
success - Mark and Dave Knopfler on
lead and rhythm guitars, John Illsley
on bass, Pick Withers on drums. The
band’s first, benchmark album is out,
and ‘Sultans Of Swing’ is a huge hit.
For all its newfound success, Dire
Straits here puts on a carefully
polished, musically serious show, full
of the nuance and intelligence that
characterized the band’s memorable
career in rock. A very young Mark
Knopfler is of course front and center,
with his trademark Dylan-influenced
vocals, seductive guitar playing, and
dark and thoughtful songs.
Those sings include, along with
‘Sultans,’ beloved numbers from the
breakout album: ‘Water Of Love,’ ‘Down

Fun, sun, surf - and musical genius.
Here are the Beach Boys, captured in
rare film and TV performances at the
peak of their astonishing success in
the 1960’s.
ZZ Top’s classic music-video years,
when the hard-driving Texas trio donned
the sunglasses and drove the hot-rods
and motorcycles - and Billy Gibbons
and Dusty Hill, in identical outfits, grew
beards down their chests (though
as seen here, drummer Frank Beard
managed to stay beardless!). This
collection brings together those great
songs and videos.
The great r&b dance-party music of the
1960’s, performed live on TV by the
biggest soul, Motown, and funk stars
of the day.
The iconic singer, humanitarian, and
activist Harry Belafonte gives an
exciting, varied, and deeply satisfying
performance in this 1997 concert from
the Performing Arts Center of Purchase
College in New York.
The hits were many and remain
perennial favorites. ‘Surfin’ U.S.A.,’
‘Surfer Girl,’ ‘Surfin’ Safari,’ ‘Fun Fun
Fun,’ ‘I Get Around,’ ‘California Girls’
and so many other classic evocations
of the period’s West-Coast lifestyle
get fascinating live treatment here,
with the boys drawing screams and
tears from hordes of TV teenyboppers,
and performances from 1960’s films
capturing the era.
But the serious and sophisticated sound
is here too. Brian Wilson’s brilliance
gave rise to amazing songs at once
emotionally probing and musically
advanced: ‘In My Room,’ ‘Wouldn’t It
Be Nice,’ ‘God Only Knows,’ and many
others. An amazing collection of great
live performances from one of the great
bands of our time.

ZZ Top racked up hit after hit with
these unforgettable music videos,
which brought raw, virtuoso bluesrock together with the dancing girls,
synthesizers, and visual effects of ‘80’s
pop. ‘Gimme All Your Lovin’,’ ‘Sharp
Dressed Man,’ ‘Legs,’ ‘Sleeping Bag’
and many others are all here - along
with ‘Velcro Fly,’ ‘Burger Man,’ and
many others.
From deep roots in 1960’s Texas
blues to the music-video generation,
ZZ Top brought unstoppable energy,
musicianship, and fun to these big hits.
Relive the party that ZZ Top had in the
1980’s.

Before MTV there was music television,
and stars like James Brown, Marvin
Gaye, the Supremes, Tina Turner,
Aretha Franklin, and Smokey Robinson
performed live for wildly enthusiastic
studio audiences. This collection returns
us to those days, with amazing hits - the
Temptations’ ‘My Girl,’ Tina’s ‘Fool In
Love,’ Gaye’s ‘How Sweet It Is,’ James
Brown’s ‘Please, Please, Please,’ the
Supremes’ ‘Stop In The Name Of Love,’
and so many others - as well as the
wildly dancing go-go girls and general
feeling of spontaneity that marked a
benchmark era.
These are the original soul artists, up
close and giving it their all - at exactly
the watershed moment when soul was
taking over pop. For fans of great music
and vintage TV alike, here is a musthave collection of classic performances.

charisma, intensity, and musicality
of his youth - when he took pop, folk,
cabaret, calypso, and film by storm
as a pioneering Caribbean-American
superstar. In this concert, he returns
us to that time with songs like ‘Jamaica
Farwell,’ ‘Matilda,’ and of course ‘The
Banana Boat Song,’ indelibly known
as ‘Day-O.’
But he also continues the musical
pioneering that has made him legendary
for half a century. With a multicultural
band blending African percussion,
reeds, pennywhistle, bass, guitars,
and a swirling, dancing backup quartet,
Belafonte explores sounds ranging
from African pop to American cabaret. A
thrilling and adventurous evening from a
beloved singer and innovator.

Billy Joel plays his home turf at a peak
moment in a long and exciting career:
late 1982, the Nassau Coliseum, Long
Island.
The mighty Luther Vandross, in a
beautiful collection of classic videos
that established the great singer and
songwriter as a pop and r&b icon.
The great Barry Manilow in a 1989
concert - expertly captured at the
Gershwin Theater on Broadway.
This is the year of ‘The Nylon Curtain,’
Billy’s adventurous album from which
‘‘Allentown,’ and ‘Scandinavian Skies’
are drawn - and both songs get intense
and powerful treatment here.
Though struck down tragically in
2005, Luther Vandross enjoyed a
long and astonishingly successful
career. Emerging in the 80’s from what
had already been thriving work as a
songwriter and backup singer (and a
commercial jingle writer and singer!),
Luther broke through in 1980 with the
classic r&b hit - and the memorable
early music-video - ‘Never Too Much,’
featured here.
The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin,
in a powerful 1985 concert that finds
the great diva in perfect voice and at
a benchmark career moment. Here is
the 1980’s comeback - spearheaded
by key collaborations with Luther
Vandross - in which Aretha reinvented
herself, returned to superstardom, and
cemented her status as an icon of r&b
and pop.
Bruce Springsteen - the Boss himself
- in a supercharged 1993 stadium
concert shot in Verona, Italy, before a
huge, amped-up audience of dedicated
Bruce fans.
Beginning with a brooding ‘I’m On Fire,’
building slowly and powerfully through
a series of astonishing climaxes, and
concluding with a series of favorites,
in the classic Springsteen ‘encore’ that
actually takes the show through the roof,
Bruce gives his audience - and now us
- the legendary mix of hard-driving rock,
boundless energy, and songwriting
passion that made him a superstar in
the 1970’s and ‘80’s.
‘Because The Night,’ ‘Thunder Road,’
‘Born To Run,’ ‘Because The Night,’
‘The River,’ ‘Born In The USA,’ ‘Hungry
Heart,’ - all these and many more
Springsteen smash hits are featured
here, in creative and compelling
arrangements and long, sharp jams plus two surprising and fascinating John
Fogarty covers.
A night of astonishing rock passion and
beauty from one of the musical legends
of our time.
Track List:
I’m On Fire - Because The Night - Prove
It All Night - Human Touch - The River Who’ll Stop The Rain - Souls Of The
Departed - Born In The USA - Light
Of Day - Hungry Heart - Glory Days Thunder Road - Born To Run - My
Beautiful Reward - Rockin’ All Over The
World - Working On The Highway
But Billy was already an icon, whose
best songs, now considered classics of
American pop, were already beloved
in ‘82. ‘Just The Way You Are,’ ‘Piano
Man,’ ‘The Stranger,’ ‘My Life,’ ‘Angry
Young Man’ ... These are only some of
the hits to which Billy brings trademark
piano athleticism and the mix of rocking
drive and emotional sensitivity that
made him a star.
And a strong performance of the Billy
Joel ‘novel-in-song’ ‘Scenes From An
Italian Restaurant’ gives this film one
of its most exciting moments. A thrilling
concert of timeless music.
Track List:
Allentown - My Life - Prelude/Angry
Young Man - Piano Man - The
Stranger - Scandinavian Skies - Movin’
Out - Pressure - Scenes From An Italian
Restaurant - Just the Way You Are - It’s
Still Rock and Roll To Me - Sometimes A
Fantasy - Big Shot - You May Be Right Only the Good Die Young - Souvenir
‘The Power Of Love/Love Power,’ ‘Don’t
Want To Be A Fool,’ ‘Stop To Love,’
‘There’s Nothing Better Than Love’ (with
Gregory Hines),’Never Too Much,’ ‘A
House Is Not A Home’ ... these classic
videos, invested by Luther with his
amazing stage presence, sincerity, and
knack for groove, return us to moments
that ended all too soon. And as a special
treat: Luther also appears here in
interviews, recalling the making of these
videos and the meaning of these songs
to his career - making this a must-own
collection.
Track List:
Power Of Love/Love Power – Don’t
Want To Be A Fool - The Rush - Here
And Now - She Won’t Talk To Me - Any
Love - Stop To Love - There’s Nothing
Better Than Love (with Gregory
Hines) - Give Me The Reason - Anyone
Who Had A Heart – It’s Over Now Superstar - Never Too Much - A House
Is Not A Home
The hits of the ‘60’s, ‘70’s, and ‘80’s
are here - ‘Think,’ ‘Something He Can
Feel,’ ‘Freeway Of Love,’ and of course
‘Respect,’ among others - and Aretha
gives them all fresh treatment, showing
a remarkable stylistic flexibility and
maturity. On numbers like ‘Love Is The
Key’ and ‘Ain’t No Way,’ the crack band
and soulful backup singers give the
queen some mighty call-and-response.
And she returns to her gospel roots
with an intense rendition of the Mahalia
Jackson chestnut ‘Didn’t It Rain.’
A beautiful evening, packed with
great music, from the ultimate soul
showstopper and iconic American voice,
Aretha Franklin.
Track List:
Love Is The Key - Love All The Hurt
Away - Day Dreaming - I Say A Little
Prayer - See Saw - Rock Steady Something He Can Feel - Think - Ain’t
No Way - Respect - Sweet Bitter Love It’s My Turn - Freeway Of Love - Didn’t It
Rain - Jump To It - Respect (reprise)
Sometimes rocking away at the piano;
sometimes singing in inimitable style
on an intimate set; sometimes caught
in a classic Broadway spotlight, Barry
brings his unique blend of subtlety and
climactic emotion to a fully packed
repertoire, featuring all of his greatest
hits - of which there are of course an
extraordinary number.
Barry also discusses and reviews his
career for this enthusiastic hometown
audience, looking back to his Brooklyn
roots and his years accompanying
aspiring singers. His early days with
Bette Midler are reflected in a brassy,
funny set of soul parodies featuring the
sexy, funky Debra Byrd, whose duet
with Barry brings down the house.
And in the ‘Gonzo Hits Medley,’ we’re
treated to more than twenty amazing
songs in one huge bite - testament to
the extraordinary musical impact of
Barry Manilow.

Cheap Trick - ultimate 1970’s hardrocking arena band - in a famous
1978 Tokyo concert, captured before
thousands of screaming young
Japanese fans. This is the tour that
made Cheap Trick a household name
for young rock and rollers with a
blistering hour of non-stop musical and
emotional pyrotechnics.
Lou Reed - once the androgynous rock
poet of the Velvet Underground, then
a godfather of punk, now a weathered
icon of courage and adventurousness in
American music - in two astonishing live
concerts, one from New York’s fabled
Bottom Line in 1983, one from the 2004
Benicassim Festival in Spain.
The passionate, irresistable music of
the great Gipsy Kings - in a powerful,
fully packed live concert, deftly shot, in
high-end documentary style, over two
exciting nights in Los Angeles in 1990.
The beautiful, passionate Zarah
Leander, Swedish-born star of 1930’s
German film, in a series of great
performances drawn from her bestknown, most successful films.
Here the Gipsy Kings perfectly
demonstrate the extraordinary talent,
musicality, and showmanship that
brought them from the uniquely mixed
culture in the south of France, where
they all grew up, to international
stardom in huge theaters and
arenas - and made them the world’s
ambassadors of their own mix of the
sound they’ve drawn from Gipsy,
flamenco, Latin, French, and many
forms of pop.
Whether she’s playing a sultry - and
slightly risque - 1930’s cabaret star, or
a 19th-century beauty in long skirts,
Zarah Leander brings gorgeous singing,
warm acting, and astonishing physical
presence to these performances. She
could sing deeply and suggestively like
Marlene Dietrich - or go on great flights
of musicality, investing her operetta
training in bringing out any song’s
emotional richness or jaunty humor
and charm.
A stunning collaboration of blues-rock
giants - led by the biggest of them all,
Eric Clapton. This 1983 benefit brings
together an astonishing number of rock
virtuosi, the men who once defined the
British blues revival and who put their
indelible stamps on all of classic rock.
Huge international hits like ‘Bamboleo,’
‘Djobi Djoba,’ and ‘Mosaique’ - breakout
tunes at the time this film was made
- come to rousing new life in this live
setting. With passionate singing, intense
guitar soling, intricate handclapping,
and all the other French, Spanish,
and Gipsy elements that the band has
woven into its unique musical tapestry,
this is a concert not to be missed.
Zarah Leander was, in her day,
Germany’s highest-paid film actress, an
international recording phenomenon,
and a huge cabaret, concert, and
musical-theater draw throughout
Europe. These performances remind us
of what made her such an indelible star.
It’s all here: the classic-rock hair of
Robin Zander and Tom Petersson (as
well as the powerful singing of Zander
and the propulsive bass playing of
Petersson) ... the strangely straight
‘business guy’ look of tie-wearing
drummer Bun E. Carlos (along with
his over-the-top athletic drumming)
... and the sheer virtuosity and
comic weirdness of guitar god Rick
Nielsen, whose searing guitar lines
and flamboyant physical energy are
matched only by his deliberately
goofball geek look - presaging
punk rock while playing like Jimmy
Page.
‘I Want You To Want Me,’ ‘Elo Kiddies,’
‘Auf Wiedersehen,’ ‘Downed,’ ‘California
Man,’ ‘Surrender’ - all and more are
heard here in the moment of the first
international smash success of the
great Cheap Trick.
Track List:
Hello There - Come On, Come On - Elo
Kiddies - Speak Now or Forever Hold
Your Peace - Lookout - Downed - Can’t
Hold On - Oh Caroline - Surrender - Auf
Wiedersehen - Southern Girls - I Want
You To Want Me - California Man Goodnight - Bun E Big Sticks Solo - Ain’t
That A Shame - Clock Strikes Ten Bonus: Surrender
With selections deftly mixed and
matched for maximum effect, these
two concerts allow us to time-travel
between key phases of an amazing
career, as Reed reinvents classic songs
from his Velvets and early solo period
and presents adventurous new work always with the unmistakable droning,
dissonance, and literary intelligence
that are part and parcel of the Lou Reed
approach to rock and roll, and to his
adventures in post-classical minimalism
and even free jazz, all key to his unique
sensibility.
‘Sweet Jane,’ ‘Why Do You Talk,’
‘Jesus,’ ‘Women,’ ‘Walk On The Wild
Side,’ ‘Romeo Had Juliette’ - these and
so many other great songs come to
new life in these exciting, exploratory
concerts from two decades of the
mature period of the influential career
of Lou Reed.

the Yardbirds, the Rolling Stones, Small

They also recall the origins of hard rock,
psychedelia, and heavy metal. Here
those giants come together with other
great sidemen in a soaring, hard-driving
set of old blues, popular hits (including
killer versions of ‘Layla’ and ‘Stairway
To Heaven’), and the tight, long jams
that these very players were largely
responsible for inventing.
Dazzlingly shot to bring out all of the
intensity of the great blues and rock
powerhouses gathered on one stage,
this is a powerful and beautiful evening
of searing music.

The amazing Ray Charles - in a series
of sizzling live performances drawn from
various stages of his astonishing career.
The mighty Miles Davis, in a powerful
Montreal concert captured in 1988, only
three years before the great trumpter
and innovator’s death.
An inspiring and important concert,
performed by the great modern-jazz
trumpeter Chet Baker on the last night of
a benchmark tour of Japan, made less
than a year before his untimely death.
Lee Konitz, the great alto saxman – and
one of the classic creators of ‘cool jazz’
– in a beautiful program focusing on a
brilliant live set by the Konitz’s quartet at
New York’s fabled Village Vanguard.
The great avant-garde jazz reedman
David Murray, deftly captured on video
one brilliant night at New York’s jazz
mecca, the Village Vanguard.
Chet Baker had a challenging and
difficult life in music. The brilliance and
beauty he offers in this late-career
concert will astonish and inspire
jazz fans. Trademark fragility and
thoughtfulness in his trumpet soloing
are here at their mature peak. On
standards – ‘Stella By Starlight,’ ‘You’d
Be So Nice to Come Home To,’ and ‘My
Funny Valentine’ – Baker discovers new
meanings and shadings while remaining
always restrained and contemplative. To
modern-jazz numbers like Miles Davis’s
‘Four’ and Jimmy Heath’s ‘For Minors
Only,’ he brings a perhaps unexpected
athleticism. And he both plays and sings
beautifully on the Elvis Costello song
‘Almost Blue.’
Joined by Roland Hanna on piano,
George Mraz on bass, and Mel Lewis on
drums – star players in their own rights,
here bringing an extraordinary group
collaboration to Konitz’s musical vision
– Konitz gives the savvy Vanguard
audience nine extended tunes, each
composed by himself, Hanna, or Mraz
(except for a fascinating riff on a Chopin
prelude!). The variety of these numbers
is as impressive as the extraordinary
polish of the playing: ‘Dream Stepper’
swings hard; ‘A Story Often Told,
Seldom Heard’ builds to emotional
climaxes; ‘Seasons’ is gorgeously
expressive.
While these performances showcase
many of the best-loved Ray Charles
hits - ‘Let The Good Times Roll, ‘ ‘Mess
Around, ‘ ‘What’d I Say, ‘ ‘I Got A
Woman ‘ and so many others - there is
nothing too-familiar about any of these
renditions. Ray’s vocals are always
passionate, spontaneous, and joyful;
extended arrangements showcase
the greatest sidemen and soloists; the
interplay between Ray and his bands
(and in some cases the Raelettes) is
always dramatic and intense.
From early stardom represented by the
rocking Ed Sullivan TV performance
of ‘What’d I Say, ‘ to the huge concerthall audiences going crazy for ‘Mess
Around, ‘ to a meeting with giants Fats
Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis on the
Hank Williams classic ‘Jambalaya, ‘
these amazing performances remind
us of the charisma, brilliance, and sheer
musicality of Ray Charles.
Track List:
Let The Good Times Roll - Mess
Around - What’d I Say - Then We’ll Be
Home - I Got A Woman - A Fool For You Busted - Since You’ve Been Gone Mississippi Mud - Lewis Boogie - Just
For A Thrill - Jambalaya - You Made Me
Love You - Swanee River Rock
Here Miles brings an astonishing set of
young, hard-rocking sidemen to the kind
of extended jazz-rock improvising that
Miles himself invented, and of which he
would always remain the reigning king.
Two stacked synthesizer keyboards,
lead and rhythm electric guitars, postColtrane sax, jazz drums and Afro-pop
percussion – this blend gives Miles a
searing, funkinspired canvas on which
to paint his extraordinary trumpet solos.
This is a far cry from Miles’s amazing
earlier series of jazz innovations, from
‘Birth of the Cool’ to ‘Kind of Blue’ –
though this concert shares with those
benchmark moments Miles’s fearless
and uncompromising ability to take
risks, to change, even to redefine,
American music. With Davis originals
like ‘One Phone Call’ and ‘Jean Pierre,’
as well as affecting covers of the 1980’s
pop hits ‘Human Nature’ and ‘Time after
Time,’ the band shows an extraorinary
range of emotional and musical artistry.
And through it all shines the pure, clean,
unmistakable trumpet of Miles Davis,
American genius. A mind-blowing
concert experience.
Track List:
One Phone Call - Human Nature Something’s On Your Mind - Time After
Time - Code M.D. - Jean Pierre
Baker’s sidemen for this concert are
– not surprisingly – his near equals
in taste, chops, and jazz artistry. A
beautiful and unforgettable evening, not
to be missed.
Track List:
Stella By Starlight - For Minors Only You’d Be So Nice To Come Home
To - Arborway - Four - Almost Blue Beatrice - My Funny Valentine - Seven
Steps To Heaven
Through it all, the leader’s deft,
shimmering, and tasteful alto reminds
us why Lee Konitz is among the
acknowledged greats in modern jazz.
And a real treat comes with two rare
1958 TV performances (along with an
interview clip), where a very young
Konitz, with Warne Marsh, Billy Taylor,
and others, displays the intensity he
brought to the beginnings of a long and
exciting career.
Track List:
Max - Prelude - Dream Stepper Blues For Sarka - Geneva’s Move Subconscious-Lee - Juicy Brucey - A
Story Often Told, Seldom Heard Seasons - Tavia’s Tune - Max (reprise)
Supported here by some of his
most advanced and proficient
contemporaries – John Hicks on piano,
Fred Hopkins on bass, and Ed Blackwell
on drums – Murray gives the savvy
Vanguard audience an amazing display
of post-free-jazz intensity, working out
extended solos on six originals, which
also allow his collaborators plenty of
space to explore their own creativity.
Fans of rapid-fire, post-Coltrane sax
playing, often dissonant and always
dazzling, will not be disappointed.
Murray’s rhythmic and harmonic daring
and brilliance are fully on display
here. Yet as this concert also strikingly
reminds us, Murray possesses the
almost uncanny ability to mix extreme
sounds with gorgeous, emotive tone:
his ballad numbers are beautiful and
poignant.
A fulfilling evening of advanced and
inspiring jazz from one of the bestrespected exponents of modern jazz.

The great jazz pianist Michel
Petrucciani, in a beautiful and powerful
concert captured on video at New York
City’s jazz mecca the Village Vanguard.
The amazing and outrageous Kiss,
live and in concert - always their most
mindblowing medium.
The breathtaking Whitney Houston, at

as a singer and performer, in a concert
deftly captured on video in Norfolk,

A riveting collection of R.E.M.
performances - mostly live, with a few
key videos. In these unusual settings,
with songs drawn from across the
astonishingly broad and unpredictable
spectrum that has been R.E.M.’s
stock-in-trade ever since the early ‘80’s,
the band’s intensity, musicianship, and
intelligence have never been more
evident.
Petrucciani lived only into his midthirties – yet his genius was undaunted
by the bone disease that gave him small
stature, made him physically vulnerable,
and contributed to his untimely death
in 1999. As this set fully demonstrates,
he was one of the most exciting and
important jazz pianists and composers
of his generation, writing extended
pieces that showcase the richness
and gorgeousness of his tone and the
emotional depth of his playing.
Joined here by two great sidemen,
Palle Danielsson on bass and Eliot
Zigmund (once a Bill Evans stalwart)
on drums, Petrucciani finds room, amid
five extended and swinging meditations,
for a collaboration with his special
guest, the great jazz guitarist Jim Hall. A
wonderful evening of beautiful music.
Track List:
Regina - The Prayer - Waltz New Beautiful But Why? - Our Tune
These great musicians and singers treat
us to exciting new interpretations of
classic Cash hits like ‘Jackson,’ ‘Guess
Things Happen That Way,’ ‘Train Of

this rich and varied program include
gorgeous trio harmony from Emmylou,
Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Sheryl
Crow; Marty Stuart on mandolin and
electric guitar; the Fairfield Four
bringing deep gospel authenticity to
‘Belshazzar’; Wyclef Jean’s freestyle
rapping (!); Bob Dylan’s heartfelt thanks
for Cash’s much-needed support; and

Some of these astonishing
performances come from Kiss concerts
given as long ago as 1976, when the
band was first achieving superstardom
in the classic glam-rock era. But Kiss
never stopped - and some of these great
moments in rock and roll are drawn from
the 1990’s, when Kiss’s first fans were
grown-up and staying loyal; some are
even from 2003.
The stage magic, the wild make-up,
the long tongue, the fireworks and
explosions - all are here. So is the the
hard-driving, non-stop rock and roll
with which Kiss defined a generation.
‘Lick It Up,’ ‘Firehouse,’ ‘Shandi,’ ‘Rock
And Roll All Nite’- all the great classics
are here too. All in all, this is a killer
presentation of the timeless rock, great
music, and pop showmanship that has
always been Kiss’s stock in trade.
Track List:
Shout It Out Loud - Lick It Up - Strutter
‘78 - Shandi - Firehouse - C’mon And
Love Me - Detroit Rock City - I Want
You - She - Love Gun - 100,000 Years Ladies In Waiting - Nothin’ To Lose God Of Thunder - Black Diamond - Rock
And Roll All Nite - Photo/Video Montage,
music: ‘Let’s Do It’, performed by the
Masks
For a wildly enthusiastic audience
- including heavy representation by
excited sailors from Norfolk’s naval
base - Whitney puts on amazing show,
featuring some of her biggest and
most beloved hits when they were
still relatively new. From the soaring,
emotional ballad interpretations of
‘Didn’t We Almost Have It All,’ ‘Where
Do Boken Hearts Go,’ and ‘Greatest
Love Of All,’ to the hot dance grooves of
numbers like ‘I’m Not Susan,’ Whitney
shows all the range and intensity that
were even then making her perhaps the
biggest pop star of the 1990’s.
Beautifully shot, with all the costume
changes, dancing, flirting, and sheer
soul power one would expect from the
queen of ‘90’s pop, this concert will
remind fans and newcomers alike of the
charisma and importance of one of our
greatest musical performers, Whitney
Houston.
Track List:
I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who
Loves Me) - How Will I Know - Medley:
Didn’t We Almost Have It All; A House Is
Not A Home; Where Do Broken Hearts
Go - All The Man That I Need - My Name
Is Not Susan - Anymore - A Song for
You - Revelation - Who Do You Love Greatest Love Of All
With huge hits like ‘Orange Crush,’
‘Losing My Religion,’ ‘The One I Love,’
and so many others performed here,
R.E.M. spearheaded the amazing
commercial explosion of what had
formerly been considered merely
‘college’-radio rock. In the process the
band invented the genre known as
alternative and found new audiences for
a new kind of rock.
Seen live, the band reminds us
forcefully of how hard it has always,
fundamentally, rocked. The live tracks
involve sheer power. Yet with the
addition of the videos for ‘Daysleeper,’
‘Imitation Of Life,’ and others, we
also see the more contemplative side
of the band’s ethos. A compelling
testament to one of the most seminal
and revolutionary rock and roll bands
of our time.
Track List:
I Took Your Name - Everybody Hurts Orange Crush - Imitation Of Life - Crush
With Eyeliner - Man On The Moon Undertow - The Great Beyond - The
Wake-Up Bomb - Find The River Revolution - At My Most Beautiful Losing My Religion - The One I Love Binky The Doormat - Daysleeper

Ultimate rockers Aerosmith play
a blistering concert, expertly and
professionally captured on video in
1990, when the band was enjoying an
astonishing surge up the charts into a
permanent place in the annals of rock
history.
The late, great John Denver, in a live
concert appearance, deftly shot on highquality video in 1995.
Hard-rocking yet sensitive; beautiful,
smart, a multifaceted musician and
singer: Sheryl Crow has achieved
superstardom through a unique
combination of extraordinary performing
charisma, brilliant songwriting, guitar
dexterity, and hard work as one of rock’s
great road warriors.
It’s all here: Steven Tyler’s irresistibly
powerful raw-throated belting and
theatrical sexuality, Joe Perry’s and
Brad Whitford’s amazing guitar-god
pyrotechnics, and the relentlessly
hard-driving rhythm section of Tom
Hamilton and Joey Kramer - original
members all, ‘back in the saddle’ and
rocking harder than ever. Squabbles
and stresses of the first wave of stardom
are past them; the band is here to give
the characteristic 110 percent that
first endeared them to New England
clubgoers in the early ‘70’s.
‘Dude (Looks Like A Lady)’, ‘Permanent
Vacation,’ ‘Dream On,’ ‘Sweet Emotion’
- these are only a few of the classic
Aerosmith favorites to which the band
gives extended treatment, mixing the
tight, blues-based structures that were
always one of their stocks-in-trade with
the freewheeling, risk-taking arena-style
improvisation that was always another.
(There’s also an amazing interpretation
of the Hendrix classic ‘Red House.’)
Not to be missed by any fan of serious
rock and roll.

Heart’s Done Time - Same Old Song

from the huge hits (‘Take Me Home,
Country Roads,’ ‘Back Home Again,’
‘Rocky Mountain High,’ ‘Annie’s Song,’
‘I’m Sorry,’ ‘Fly Away,’ and so many
others), to brilliant later songs like ‘Two
Different Directions’- which show how
tenaciously John was pursuing his
unique talents in the years immediately
before his untimely death.
John is in superb voice here, bringing
his trademark commitment and sincerity
to one beloved song after another,
accompanied by a beautiful and highly
accomplished ensemble, featuring
a string quartet, flute, guitars - with
the great James Burton on guitar and
Dobro.
Also including clips of John discussing
his environmental passions, this is a
thrilling performance from one of the
greatest singers, songwriters, and
hitmakers of his generation.

hits that established her as both a rock
goddess and a poetic singer songwriter.
‘All I Wanna Do,’ ‘My Favorite Mistake,’
‘Am I Getting Through,’ ‘Every Day Is A
Winding Road,’ ‘Strong Enough’: these
are all here, in extended arena-rock
renditions, with Sheryl herself playing
guitars, bass, and harmonica while her
crack band shows its amazing chops.

The late, great Roy Orbison, in a series
of riveting live performances drawn from
many points in his long and fascinating
career.
Mindblowing rap, hip-hop, and
reggaetón from the rising superstar- and
veteran musical innovator - known
around the world as Daddy Yankee.
Some are clips from his heyday as
a weird, haunted rock and roller in
the early 1960’s. Some are from his
country phase, when Roy was bridging
the gap between hillbilly, rockabilly,
and countrypolitan. And in some, Roy
has help from sidemen like Bruce
Springsteen and Elvis Costello - both
at once.
A pioneer in Spanish-language hiphop and the percussive, irresistibly
danceable genre known as reggaetón
- which has recently been sweeping
well beyond Latin America into the U.S.,
Europe, and even Asia - Raymond Ayala
(Daddy Yankee’s civilian name) here
brings extraordinary power to his live
performing.
The favorites are all here: from the
primitive rocker ‘Ooby Dooby’ to the
breakout hit ‘Only The Lonely’; from the
roots-music classic ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’
to Roy’s Traveling Wilburys period and
‘You Got It’ - and many, many more, all
sung live before excited audiences.
Along with astonishing displays of
verbal dexterity in his rapping, in these
performances Ayala sings, moves, and
keeps the intensity going non-stop in
call-and-response collaboration with an
amazing crew of rappers, singers, and
musicians - as well as the throbbing,
gyrating dancers who dramatize all the
heat and rhythm of Daddy Yankee’s
reggaetón style.
Through it all, Roy’s unmistakably
haunted, high singing reminds us of
the consistency he brought to rock and
roll, country, and pop in four decades. A
moving portrait of an indelible talent.
Track List:
Go, Go, Go (Down The Line) - Leah Claudette - Dream Baby (How Long
Must I Dream) - That Lovin’ You Feelin’

other climactic moments make this live
program an unforgettable display of
reggaetón energy.

performances by the greatest artists of a

The amazing Earth, Wind & Fire, in a
Tokyo concert deftly captured on video
in 1994, shortly after the release of the
hot comeback album ‘Millennium.’
Blistering live Chicago blues from two
generations of masters: Lonnie Brooks,
Son Seals, Howard & The White Boys,
and James Harman.
Irresistibly funky beats, throbbing
dancers, searing horns, killer guitar,
deep soul vocals, lights, smoke - and
the unparalleled rhythmic mastery of
the White brothers, singer and drummer
Maurice and bassist Verdine - make this
show far more than a nostalgia event.
Maurice’s singing is as powerful as ever;
Verdine drives the entire ensemble; and
Philip Bailey, EWF’s original, romantic
ballad singer is featured on many
numbers as well. The overwhelming,
classic sound is all here.
Soaring electric guitars, driving beats,
earthy vocals, authentic blues artistry:
it’s all here in a fully packed program
deftly shot at Buddy Guy’s famous
Chicago club Legends. From a wellloved Chicago number like ‘The Sky
Is Crying’ to great originals like Lonnie
Brooks’s pounding ‘Watchdog’ and
Hames Harman’s sexy ‘Night Ridin’
Daddy,’ these artists bring together
blues, funk, soul, and swing - evenb
while remaining firmly committed to the
classic Chicago sound that has made
fervent fans of so many listeners for so
many years.

8 712177 052622
The great young star of Latin pop and
salsa, Marc Anthony - in a program fully
packed with intense concert footage
shot in Colombia.
All of Marc Anthony’s many modes
come powerfully to life in these shows:
tousled, romantic pop idol; pure salsa
bandleader; dramatic vocalist; Latin
star. With hot horns, pulsating Latin
percussion, driving piano, and rousing
back-up singing - as well as searing rock
guitar and drums - Marc interprets such
hits as ‘Hasta Que Te Conoci,’ ‘Hasta
Ayer,’ ‘Se Esfuma Tu Amor,’ and many
others. Live settings, with their wildly
enthusiastic audiences, inspire Marc to
let loose with all of his prodigious talent
- and to let his crack ensemble loose on
the Latin dance grooves.
Expertly shot and edited to complement
the music’s intensity, this is an
irresistible display of power and artistry
from one of the greatest salsa and pop
interpreters of our time.
Track List:
Te Conozco Bien - Tu Amor Me Hace
Bien - Hasta Ayer - Contra La Corriente Celos - Se Esfuma Tu Amor - Vivir Lo

1980’s and ‘90’s arena rock comes to
overwhelming life in these high-energy
hits - ‘Poundcake,’ ‘Love Walks In,’
‘Jump,’ ‘I Can’t Drive,’ ‘Why Can’t This
Be Love,’ ‘Panama,’ and so many
more. Tight interplay among Eddie’s
searing virtuoso metal guitar, Sammy’s
powerful singing, the band’s calland-response vocals and trademark
hopped-up theatrics (at one point,
Sammy is singing from the railing of a
high catwalk!) drives sell-out crowds
over the top.
And all this footage is deftly shot and
edited to keep the viewer right in the
middle of the pulsating action and
blistering sound. A thrilling program of
the highest-intensity rock and roll.

Martha & the Vandellas - who announce
the dawn of the soul era with the anthem
‘Dancin’ in the Streets’ - and closing
with the throbbing improvisations of Sly
& the Family Stone - who brought funk
to the psychedelic era - the program
packs in 19 amazing live tracks from
Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Diana
Ross, Jackie Wilson, Gladys Knight, the
Temptations, the Jackson 5, and many,
many more of the biggest acts in soul,
who bring their hit recordings to life in
these charismatic performances.
And because almost every one of these
video tracks is a vintage selection captured at the time, not re-created
years later - we re-live the entire era, not
only though the music but also through
changing dance moves, hair styles,
clothes, and attitudes that marked what
was perhaps the most exciting period in
pop. A must-have collection for the soul
fan and the nostalgia buff alike.
So are the hits with which EWF
dominated club dancefloors in the
1970’s: ‘September,’ ‘Let’s Groove,’
‘Boogie Wonderland,’ ‘Shining Star,’
‘Sing A Song,’ ‘After The Love Is
Gone,’ and many more. The packed
Tokyo house responds with surging
acclamation - and few viewers will be
able to stay in their seats for long. A
rousing evening of intense soul and funk
from one of the greatest dance outfits
of all time.

complement of special guests, including
Maria Muldaur - playing for packed
houses at Buddy Guy’s famous Chicago
Blues club, Legend.
Big, throbbing drums, deep bass lines,
rousing call-and-response vocals,
and irresistible dance beats: Kool &
the Gang here revives its biggest and
funkiest hits in a live concert captured
on video at the House of Blues in 2001.
Slim’s trademark earthy, raspy singing
and incisive guitar playing are fully
on display here, as he gives the most
authentic treatment to Chicago-blues
classics like ‘I Can’t Hold Out’ and ‘I
Love You Baby’ - as well as unexpected
numbers like the soul hit ‘Mustang
Sally.’ George Baze and his band, as
well as the younger outfit known as the
Blues Instigators, take the stage as well,
immersing their excited audiences in
such timeless numbers as ‘Got My Mojo
Working,’ ‘Dust My Broom,’ and ‘How
Blue Can You Get.’
In ‘Ladies Night,’ ‘Celebration,’ ‘Wild
And Peaceful,’ ‘Get Down On It’ and so
many other rocking performances, Kool
& the Gang return to the live performing
in which they first made their name in
the 1970’s. Back then, mixing the funk
of James Brown and Sly Stone with
the dance craze that would one day be
known as disco, Robert ‘Kool’ Bell and
his cohorts, including George ‘Funky’
Brown (both founding members are
seen and heard to great effect here),
invented a dance sound that would
define an era.
A mindblowing 1978 concert from
the mighty Neil Young - at once the
culmination of his classic 1970’s period,
and the establishment of his singing,
songwriting, and acoustic and electric
guitar playing as permanent fixtures
in rock.
The astonishing David Bowie in an eyepopping, mind-blowing concert from
his benchmark ‘Glass Spider’ tour of
the late 1980’s - fully and expertly shot
on video, capturing all the theatricality,
intensity, weirdness, and beauty that are
Bowie’s stock in trade.
Shot with enthusiasm at the Cow Palace
in San Francisco, before an amped-up
audience, the show features six opening
songs with a solo Neil accompanying
himself on twelve-string acoustic guitar,
piano and harmonica - with ‘Sugar
Mountain’ and ‘After The Gold Rush’
especially benefiting from this strippeddown treatment.
A huge crew of blisteringly powerful
musicians - including Peter Frampton
on guitar! - is joined by a host of singers
and dancers to make this one of
Bowie’ most over-the-top efforts ever.
Sophisticated lights, sound, costume,
and high-tech stage magic come
together to overwhelm the viewer with
full-on rock-and-roll theater.
Powerful hard rock – and Christian
Evangelism – from Stryper, the
pioneering Christian-metal band that
took MTV and the pop charts by storm
in the 1980’s and showed – despite
occasional controversy – that Christian
conviction and hard-driving rock and roll
are in no way incompatible.
And Maria Muldaur shows that her blues
and New Orleans roots are deep, with
renditions of ‘Please Send Me Someone
To Love’ and ‘Cajun Moon.’ Including
revealing backstage interviews,
this program is a must-see for fans
of Chicago blues - and of authentic
American music.
In 2001 in Chicago they brought it
all back to life. The stage dancing
is sharp, the singing powerful, the
beats infectious. A thrilling evening of
classic funk and disco from one of the
legendary sources.
When Crazy Horse joins Neil onstage,
the rocking really begins. ‘When You
Dance,’ ‘Hey Hey,’ ‘The Needle And
The Damage Done,’ ‘Welfare Mothers,’
‘Cortez The Killer,’ ‘Cinnamon Girl,’
and more get extended, passionate
expression, with many trademark guitar
solos from Neil.
And then there are the charisma and
intensity of Bowie himself - giving new
life to hits like ‘China Girl,’ ‘Let’s Dance,’
‘Heroes,’ ‘Fame,’ ‘Young Americans,’
‘Loving The Alien,’ and many others. A
fascinating and exhilarating excursion
into the mind and artistry of one of the
most exciting entertainers of our time.
The whole experience is dramatized
by the presence of a hooded, masked
crew known as ‘Road-Eyes’ - as well
as a characteristically Neil Young blend
of cynicism and nostalgia that comes
with playing snippets of ten-year-old
public-address announcements from
the Woodstock Festival. Fascinating,
timeless rock-and-roll theater.

This concert, deftly captured in a
high-quality video production, took
place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, before
a sold-out audience of charged-up
Stryper fans. The band has broken up in
the early 1990’s – lead singer Matthew
Sweet was especially successful as a
solo act – but at this concert shows, the
original members (Matthew, his brother
Robert, On Fox, and Tim Gaines) had
not lost a step in the intervening years.
Blistering guitar solos combine with
tight harmony vocals and dramatic
drums and bass to bring huge hits like
‘Honestly,’ ‘Free,’ and other classics
to life.
A spiritually and musically thrilling
experience, this concert should not be
missed by any Stryper fan – or any fan
of Christian metal or classic 1980’s rock.

The great Gladys Knight & the Pips - in
their absolute prime in 1977 – playing
a powerful and beautiful show at the
Greek Theater in Los Angeles, including
the amazing treat of five numbers (as
well as some deftly filmed hanging
out) from surprise guest Ray Charles,
complete with Raelettes.
International rock-and-roll superstar and
sex symbol Rod Stewart in his intense
and fascinating 1975 “final concert”
with the benchmark British blues band
Faces -- a key moment of rock history,
in which Rod was finally launched as a
solo artist, and British blues-rock came
to a climax.
From their first hit, ‘Every Beat Of
My Heart,’ through the powerhouse
soul explosion of ‘Heard It Through
The Grapevine,’ ‘I’ve Got To Use My
Imagination,’ and ‘Midnight Train To
Georgia,’ then into gorgeous Streisand
territory with ‘The Way We Were’ and
‘Evergreen,’ Gladys Knight displays
the big pipes, emotional nuance, and
heartfelt humor that make her a soul
legend. The Pips, singing in trademark
call-and-response - and executing those
famous dance moves - make each song
irresistible.
Featuring Ron Wood on lead guitar, the
concert makes abundantly clear the
chemistry and collaboration of guitarist
and vocalist on which Faces’ smash
success as a live act was founded.
Great drumming, bass playing, and
piano playing from Kenny Jones,
Ronnie Lane, and Ian MacLagen
provide the tight groove that served so
ideally as a platform for Rod’s raspy,
soulful singing.
And when Ray Charles hits the stage
for two solo numbers, and then Ray
and Gladys duet, the night is more than
complete - until a rousing ‘Hit The Road,
Jack’ drives the crowd over the top.
Exclusive backstage interview footage
only adds to the excitement of this
thrilling night of soul star power.

“Maggie May” and “You Wear It Well”
were already solo hits for Rod when
the band was rocking them here. But
the band also takes on the Sam Cooke,
Chuck Berry, and Bobby Womack tunes
from which their pub-rock sound was
drawn. Rod gives his frontman role all
the glam that was ensuring his success
as a solo star. And for a dose of extra
excitement: Keith Richards pays a visit
and sits in on guitar.
At once a period piece and an
extraordinary musical treat, this show
is not to be missed by any fan of Rod
Stewart and classic rock.

The Police, the new-wave trio who
came to define pop in the post-punk era,
also helped pioneer music video - a new
format that was also coming to the fore
in the 1980’s.
Funky dance music - from Prince to Kool
& the Gang, from the Commodores to
Christina Aguilera - takes center stage
in this exciting collection of 14 classic
video and live performances, from some
of the most infectious and compelling
artists of our time.
The late, great Grover Washington, Jr.,
in a beautiful concert, expertly caught
on tape at the Trump Regency Cabaret
Theater in Atlantic City.
Screaming guitar... machine-gun
drumming... flying hair... raw vocals...
supercharged stadium crowds - these
are the elements of the sound that
came to be known as ‘heavy metal.’
Pioneers of metal are presented here
in a series of searing, over-the-top live
performances, reminding us of raw
power that the hardest kinds of rock
offered as early as the 1970’s.
Three generations of powerful soul
divas come together in this glittering
collection of blistering live performances
and classic videos. From Mavis Staples
to Beyoncé ... from Mary Wells to Lauryn
Hill ... the proud heart of female soul has
never been more exciting.
Tina Turner has three entries here:
“Proud Mary” and “Nutbush City Limits,”
which rouse a huge theater audience
amid all the glitz and heat of Tina’s
glorious superstardom - and on “River
Deep, Mountain High,” we’re treated
to fascinating vintage footage of Ike &
Tina, reminding us of Tina’s importance
to the very emergence of soul itself.
The whole program has that kind of
depth: two entries from Mary Wells,
of Supremes fame; the disco years
represented by video from both Gloria
Gaynor and Donna Summer; more
classic video - albeit of a later period
- from Des’Ree, Destiny’s Child, and
Lauryn Hill; Elton John introducing Mary
K. Blige; and more. A thrilling homage to
soul divahood.
Track List:
Tina Turner - Proud Mary / Gloria
Gaynor - I Will Survive / Des’Ree - You

Thus these 16 classic videos from
the Police take us back to a thrilling
moment in pop history. Featuring a very
young Sting’s surly good looks, and the
high spirits of a youthful group in the
process of taking over the pop radio,
the music-video output of the Police
defines an era.
‘Roxanne,’ ‘Can’t Stand Losing You,’
‘Don’t Stand So Close Me’ - these
and other early hits get the fun and
unpretentious video treatment of a
band on the rise. With such peak
performances as ‘Spirits in the Material
World,’ we follow the band to the heights
of its artistic sophistication. Taken
together, these visually and musically
stunning performances remind us of the
indelible greatness of the Police and the
excitement of the era they defined.

Roxanne - Can’t Stand Losing You Message In A Bottle - Walking On The
Moon - So Lonely - Don’t Stand So

Including memorable videos like Herbie
Hancock’s “Rockit,” and live concert
footage from the Bee Gees and others,
the full spectrum of funk is aired out in
this collection. Three entries from Prince
alone - including the benchmark “1999” show the Artist’s unbelievable virtuosity
and charisma. “Sexual Healing”
reminds us of the timeless appeal of
Marvin Gaye, who not only bridged
Motown and soul but also influenced
disco. The unparalleled romance of
the Commodores mixes vocal-group
seduction with an irresistible dance
groove.
Classic disco too gets a revival in
the hands of the Bee Gees, whose
soundtrack to “Saturday Night Fever”
made disco a national phenomenon.
And Christina Aguilera reminds us that
beats pioneered by the great artists
featured here are indelible - and the
funk lives on.

Here Grover’s always sinuous and
glittering ensemble brings its trademark
soulfulness, polish, and dexterity
to many of the master’s greatest
instrumental achievements -- from
“Winelight” to “Inner City Blues,” from
“Take Me There” to “Just the Two of Us.”
The amazing sax technique that was
Grover Washington’s is fully on display
here, in extended jams and medleys.
And the interplay among keyboards,
bass, percussion, vocals, and guitars swinging easily from edgy funk to lush
romance -- is nothing short of dazzling.
A gorgeous evening from a great and
much-missed musician.

The bracing, uncompromising
primitivism of Ozzy Osbourne and Black
Sabbath comes to life in performances
of ‘Paranoid,’ ‘NIB,’ and ‘WarPigs.’
Steppenwolf, who fatefully used the
term ‘heavy metal,’ in their hit ‘Born to
be Wild,’ deliver that song in hyperdrive.
Deep Purple’s ‘Smoke on the Water’
and Thin Lizzy’s ‘Dedication’ remind
us of those band’s sheer theatricality
- and of course Led Zeppelin gives an
astounding, extended performance of
the classic ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ as well
as showcasing mindblowing chops on
‘Whole Lotta Love.’
With Iron Maiden showing just what
could be dome by a metal band in
the midst of the punk-rock explosion,
this program is an amazing series of
performances - and a devasating rock

Crystal Gayle, queen of sophisticated

‘Wrong Road Again,’ ‘Don’t it Make My
Bown Eyes Blue,’ ‘Ready For The Times

In the 1940’s and ‘50’s, the great John
Lee Hooker bridged deep Delta and
electrified Chicago blues in a series
of singles that redefined R&B - and
found eager listeners in the generation
that came of age in the ‘60’s. Here
Hooker gives a series of powerful
live performances enhanced by the
contributions of some of those younger
stars: Bonnie Raitt, John Hammond, Ry
Cooder, Robert Cray, Albert Collins, and
Charlie Musselwhite.
Featuring big stars from Black Uhuru
to Roots Radics, Yellowman to Culture,
this powerful collection of classic
reggae video blends deep grooves and
danceable beats with hip-hop attitude
and confrontational images. In the
benchmark work of these pioneering
artists, reggae’s Jamaican roots meet
edgy U.S. urban scenes, interpreting
the Caribbean diaspora with both violent
realism and resilient spirituality.
Cleverly produced to immerse viewers
in the infectious concert experience,
while also revealing the stars in quick
backstage interactions with one another
and with fans, and showing the revvedup reactions of the enthusiastic, harddancing audience - the film’s visual style
becomes as intense and compelling as

This is an inter-generational

The great jazzman John Coltrane in
nine rare, live television performances,

Coltrane on the world-changing ‘So
What,’ as well as on Dave Brubeck’s
‘The Duke’; and Miles also works out his
huge, orchestral ensemble under the
direction of Gil Evans.
The rest of the program is given over
to the John Coltrane Quartet - joined
for two numbers, including Coltrane’s
signature ‘My Favorite Things,’ by the
great flautist and sax player Eric Dolphy.
Here we find Coltrane utterly in his
element, in the years in which he was
changing jazz forever. Classic Coltrane
collaborators pianist McCoy Tyner,
drummer Elvin Jones, and bassist
Jimmy Garrison are given their own
chances to shine as well.
Rare footage - and beautiful music from
one of the greatest icons of jazz

The great guitarist, singer, and
bandleader Eric Clapton in a beautifully
shot concert, captured at the Shoreline
Amphitheater in Mountain View,
California. Backed by a tasteful
ensemble of brilliant players - including
Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfler on guitar Clapton offers an extended trip through
his now-classic catalogue.
Gilberto Gil, the great superstar of Brazil
- and all international pop - appears in a
rich and varied concert, beautifully shot
before a highly enthusiastic São Paulo
audience.
Great reggae performances on
video - by some of reggae’s greatest
exponents, including Bob Marley, Toots
& the Maytals, Black Uhuru, Burning
Spear, and the amazing Sly Dunbar
and Robbie Shakespeare. Reviving the
classic video format of the 1980’s, when
the music-video was a young medium,
this collection crackles with political,
spiritual, and musical energy.
While Michihiro Sato is well-known
outside Japan for his groundbreaking
collaborations with Western jazz and
avant-garde musicians - he has played
with saxophonist John Zorn, among
others - here he concentrates on the
traditions of the instrument, playing
solo, exhibiting extraordinary drive
and precision. Yet as Sato explains,
improvisation is the soul of those
traditions. Even as the master delves
into the old scales and rhythms, one
can hear the connections to jazz that
attracted him as a boy.
With intriguing glimpses of the
instrument’s region and history, shot
with appropriate simplicity and clarity,
this program ushers listeners and
viewers into a beautiful sonic world.
Track Listing:
Tsugaru Jonkarabushi - Tsugaru Yosare
Bushi - Dotarebachi - Tsugaru Ondo Nikata Bushi - Natsuyoi Matsuri - Nikata
Bushi
The great Cream period is wellrepresented: ‘Crossroads,’ ‘White
Room,’ ‘Sunshine Of Your Love,’ and
‘Badge’ get especially thoughtful
treatment, with Clapton’s incisive guitar
lines seeming, if anything, even more
deft and startling than they were in the
day. Radio hits are here too, from ‘Lay
Down Sally,’ and ‘I Shot the Sheriff’ to
‘Layla’ and ‘Wonderful Tonight.’ And the
blues are of course never far away.
Amazing jamming combined with
impressive maturity and restraint are the
hallmarks of this stunning evening - in
which Eric Clapton’s role as one of the
greatest musicians of our time is fully
demonstrated.
Track List:
Crossroads - White Room - I Shot The
Sheriff - Lay Down Sally - Wonderful
Tonight - Tearing Us Apart - After
Midnight - Can’t Find My Way Home Badge - Same Old Blues - Cocaine 
Layla - Money For Nothing - Sunshine

Some of Gil’s numbers (many of them
gorgeous, poetic originals) look back
to his days in the pioneering ‘tropicalia’
movement of the 1960’s - when thanks
to Gil and others, Brazilian music
met rock, reggae, and jazz with such
earth-shattering results. Others draw us
into the many, varying urban and rural
rhythms of traditional Brazil: electrified
carnival music of Salvador, Rio styles of
samba, and the country music that Gil
grew up with in his early childhood in the
Bahia countryside.
Supported by a highly accomplished
band, featuring flute and many kinds
of Brazilian percussion, Gil covers a
Stevie Wonder song; engages in an
impromptu (largely acoustic) funk jam;
and manages to bring romance and
danceability together with sharp political
commentary, in the unique style that has
become his trademark.
A thrilling, deeply satisfying journey
through the charismatic and
groundbreaking work of Gilberto Gil.

A jam-packed benchmark 1982 concert
from one of the greatest rock bands of
all time: The Who.
Bob Marley - rocker, visionary, poet,
international icon of reggae and
Rastafari - comes vividly to life as
never before in this film jam-packed
with concert performances, searing
soundtracks, rare footage of Marley
and the Wailers backstage, and much
revealing commentary from Bob
himself.
The king of bossa nova, Antonio Carlos
Jobim, gives a glittering concert, shot
in Los Angeles and featuring Jobim’s
brilliant ensemble of leading Brazilian
musicians and singers.
Willie Nelson explores the great
American songbook in this gorgeous
evening of standards – from ‘Buttermilk
Sky’ to ‘What a Wonderful World’ to
‘When I Dream’ - filmed live before an
elegant black-tie theater audience.
Country superstar Lynn Anderson belts
her greatest hits and more, tells stories
of her amazing career, jokes, flirts,
brings fan-club members to the stage,
and features the many talents of her hot
band in an exciting live concert filmed in
Dickson, Tennessee.
Power-chord inventor, guitar-smasher,
and lyrical genius Pete Townshend;
searing vocalist and microphone
swinger Roger Daltrey; John Entwistle
(‘the Quiet One,’ ‘the Ox’) holding the
whole thing together on bass - these
three surviving members of the classic
band come together with a hard-driving
stand-in drummer (tragically, Keith
Moon had died a few years earlier).
The energy never flags as Townshend,
Daltrey, and Entwistle not only reprise
some of the Who’s best-loved rockers
of the ‘60’s and ‘70’s but also present
some new songs, pushing boundaries
and taking musical flight.
‘My Generation,’ ‘See Me, Feel Me,’
‘We Don’t Get Fooled Again,’ ‘Boris the
Spider,’ ‘Pinball Wizard,’ ‘Who Are You,’
‘Baba O’Riley,’ ‘Young Man Blues’ ... all
of these and many more classic songs
get full-on treatment from a band that
was peaking even as this concert was
filmed. A unforgettable rock-and-roll
extravaganza.
Track Listing:
My Generation - I Can’t Explain Dangerous - Sister Disco - The Quiet
One - It’s Hard - Eminence Front - Baba
O’Riley - Boris The Spider - Drowned Love Ain’t For Keepin’ - Pinball
Wizard - See Me Feel Me - Who Are
You - 5:15 - Love Reign O’er Me - Long
Live Rock - Won’t Get Fooled Again Naked Eye - Squeeze Box - Young Man
Blues - Twist  and Shout
What comes through most powerfully
is one man’s amazing soul, a soul full
of passion and spirit - the soul of the
immortal Bob Marley.
From the daring, benchmark sounds
of ‘Desafinado’ - a number partly
responsible for launching the bossa
craze in the 1950’s - through Jobim’s
most philosophical classic ‘Águas de
Março’ (Waters of March), the intricate
yet always engaging and enveloping
sound of Jobim’s music makes this
concert a standout. Collaborating with
such luminaries as the great Jacques
Morelembaum on cello and Paulo
Braga on drums, intertwining textures
of flute and guitar with those of his
piano, backed by a tight female vocal
section   some members of which,
including Ana and Elizabeth Jobim
and Paula Morelenbaum, are also key
members of Brazilian musical dynasties
- Jobim makes abundantly clear the
talent and technique that made him an
international superstar.
Featured songs include Trench Town
Rock, I Shot The Sheriff, Lively Up
Yourself, Revolution, Redemption Song,
No Woman No Cry, Get Up Stand Up
and many others
As an added attraction, Brazilian
superstar singer Gal Costa joins the
ensemble for five gorgeous numbers
- including an especially deft finale. A
thrilling evening.
From Marley’s roots in the violence and
criminality of the Trenchtown ghetto
to his benchmark collaboration with
Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer; from
his immersion in the Rasta religion to
his rise to international superstardom;
from his wounding in an assassination
attempt to his tragic and untimely death
- the story of Bob Marley’s astonishing
life is told not through dry discussion but
through music, color, and voice.
Track List:
One Note Samba - Desafinado - Agua
de Beber - Dindi (with Gal Costa) - Wave
(with Gal Costa) - Anos Dourados (with
Gal Costa) - Gabriela (with Gal Costa) Chega de Saudade (No More Blues) Two Kites - Samba do Soho (vocals

Aviao (Song of the Jet) (vocals Danilo
Caymmi) - Aguas de Marco (Waters of

Departing from scruffier moods, Willie
and a sophisticated supper-club band
essay the work of the great classic-pop
composers Johnny Mercer, Hoagy
Carmichael, Rodgers & Hammerstein,
Harold Arlen and others. In the process,
Willie pays tribute to the movies in
which he first encountered some of
these songs and uses many of them as
vehicles for his trademark, jazz-inflected
acoustic guitar playing.
With characteristic laid-back phrasing
and sincerity, Willie finds a piece of
himself in each of these great numbers
- reminding us of the underlying unity of
all forms of American song and treating
us to a rich evening of some of our best
music.

hits of the 1960’s and ‘70’s - beautifully
revived here - made Lynn a star and
ushered in a new era in country music.
Yet not content only to review her own
catalogue, Lynn here also treats the
packed house at the Renaissance
Center to a wide variety of musical
genres — from the classic bluegrass of
‘Rocky Top’ to the ‘50’s teen pop of ‘Cry’;
from the folk of John Prine’s ‘Paradise’

Hubert Sumlin, Buddy Guy - together
with younger artists - Pistol Pete, Roy
Hytower, Rod Piazza - to showcase
generations of great players of this harddriving American tradition.
A packed evening of blues

on drums.
An overwhelming evening of stirring
gospel, featuring a multitude of gospel
superstars from every tradition, all
on a single stage, all overseen by the
pioneering singer-songwriter - and
ardent gospel fan - Paul Simon.
‘Buffalo Soldier’ ... ‘The Harder They
Come’ ... ‘Wait in Vain’ ... ‘Steppin’
Razor’: these and other hits of reggae’s
classic period mingle with later entries
like Jimmy Cliff’s ‘Hanging Fire,’ Bunny
Wailer’s ‘Rise and Shine,’ and Ziggy’s
‘Conscious Party.’
And the reggae stars are joined by
allies from other traditions: the Neville
Brothers of New Orleans; Latin-rock
guitar genius Carlos Santana; Chrissie
Hynde of the Pretenders; even Grace
Jones, icon of international club
society. A rousing collaboration by all
performers on ‘The Harder They Come’
closes the show, reminding us of the
enduring connections among Jamaican

music.

The great Junior Wells’s harmonica
playing defines the Chicago sound; he
worked with Muddy Waters in the ‘50’s
and with Buddy Guy in the ‘60’s. Hubert
Sumlin brought the Mississippi sound
to Chicago and contributed to the dark
sound of Howlin’ Wolf. Buddy Guy blew
hippies away in the late ‘60’s with his
guitar theatrics.
Pistol Pete and Roy Hytower revive both
the rugged vitality and the polish of the
original Chicago pioneers; Rod Piazza
mixes the classic sound with the swingbased jump-jive that is another aspect
of blues spirit.
Includes rare backstage interviews
with Hubert Sumlin, Junior Wells, and
Rod Piazza.

witty original songs. The bill is filled out
almost to bursting by an eclectic roster
of high-powered musicians, each with
a distinctive blues style: Billy Branch’s

The exciting concert that results is
packed with unexpected moments,
beautiful sounds, and of course the
gorgeous singing of ‘Sassy’ herself.
Variety abounds: Vaughan sings
standards with her crack touring combo,
including an amazing rendition of her
signature ‘Send in the Clowns.’ The
trumpeters pair off in various groupings
that bring out their distinctive sounds.
Vaughan joins the brass players for
some jazz standards - including ‘Take
the ‘A’ Train’ - adding beautiful vocal
improvisations to the mix.
From the ecstatic, over-the-top beauty
of Jennifer Holliday’s wild belting to the
tight harmonies of the Oak Ridge Boys
and Mighty Clouds of Joy ... from the
soulful crooning of Luther Vandross
to the contemporary gospel of Andrae
Crouch ... from ‘Oh Happy Day’ and ‘I
Made a Step’ to traditional songs like
‘His Eye Is on the Sparrow’ and ‘Can’t
Nobody Do Me Like Jesus’ - this show
gathers an extraordinary wealth of
music, devotion, intensity, fun, and
excitement into a single evening.
Moments of backstage camaraderie

The great Miles Davis in a 1988 concert,
deftly shot at the Munich Philharmonic
Hall in Germany. Miles leads seven
young and brilliant musicians through
eleven numbers that epitomize the best
of jazz - and the late development of
the jazz-rock fusion that Miles Davis
pioneered.
Interplay between Miles’s classic
trumpet and the ensemble’s polish and
dexterity is persistently astonishing.
Drummer Ricky Wellman and
percussionist Marilyn Mazur create
gorgeous, infectious polyrhythms;
Joseph McCreary plays searing electric
guitar; Kenny Garrett builds brilliant sax
solos. Electronic keyboard wizardry,
which Miles did so much to make a part
of jazz, is handled by two young virtuosi
with dazzling effect.
A mix of extended improvisations and
tight, funk-driven numbers keeps the
proceedings lively - as does Miles’s
fatherly encouragement of his young
bandmates. The unmistakable sound
of Miles’s trumpet pulls it all together.
A thrilling evening from a master and
legend of 20th-century music.

These intense and exciting live
performances from the great jazz

improvising, the harmonic and sonic
adventurousness, and the fiery rhythms
that were hallmarks of the Miles sound
over many decades and in many stylistic

A star-studded evening of swing,
featuring the legendary Count Basie, his
hard-driving orchestra, and an amazing
series of vocalists: Sarah Vaughan,
Tony Bennett, George Benson, and
Joe Williams. Deftly shot at a crowded
Carnegie Hall in 1981, the program is
packed with music: 21 numbers range
from Basie classics of the swing era to
gutbucket blues to sophisticated pop.
B.B. is in rare form as master guitarist,
singer, and host, welcoming such stars
of blues-rock as Eric Clapton, Phil
Collins, and Stevie Ray Vaughan; fellow
electric-blues pioneer Albert King; the
fabled New Orleans pianist Dr. John;
and blues and soul singers Etta James,
Billy Ocean, Chaka Khan, and Gladys
Knight.
From a B.B. King classic like ‘The Thrill
Is Gone’ to a soul number like ‘Midnight
Hour’ and the closing gospel hymn,
‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord,’ B.B.
applies his trademark mastery of electric
guitar and rousing vocals, showing
that blues feeling can be found in many
places. In collaborations with the other
guitar virtuosos, he achieves intense
musical peaks - and King and the three
ladies of soul find humor and intensity
in the blues standard ‘Ain’t Nobody’s
Business.’
There are many moments for other
stars to shine - Etta James and Dr.
John duet beautifully, to mention only
one example. And the whole ensemble
comes together for big numbers that
bring down the house. An exciting and
powerful evening of great blues.

credits
In five extended numbers - two
are Davis originals; another is an
interpretation of the Cyndi Lauper
pop tune ‘Time After Time’- Miles and
a septet of brilliant young musicians
push one another to daring heights. In
Munich in the late ‘80’s, Kenny Garrett’s
inventive saxophone solos and Joseph
McCreary’s blistering electric guitar are
among the especially exciting elements;
the combination of Ricky Wellman on
drums and Marilyn Mazur on percussion
keeps the ensemble together with beats
at once driving and highly complex.
And at a classic appearance at the
Isle of Wight in 1970, such luminaries
as Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, and
Dave Holland - then the hottest of upand-comers take Mile’s innovations to
mindblowing heights.
Throughout it all, the pure sound
of Miles’s instantly recognizable
trumpet, sometimes fragile, sometimes
harsh, reminds us of the consistent
craftsmanship and daring this great jazz
artist brought to his entire career.

James Brown puts on the hottest
imaginable show when working alone and for this live concert the Godfather of
Soul is joined by other great megastars
of classic and ‘blue-eyed’ soul: Aretha
Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Billy Vera, Joe
Cocker, and Robert Palmer join the
hardest-working man in show business
for a thrilling evening of passionate
singing, irresistible beats, sharp horns,
and the classic sound of soul and funk.
‘Cold Sweat’ ... ‘I Feel Good’ ... ‘Papa’s
Got a Brand New Bag’ … these and
other James Brown hits get powerful,
spontaneous, interpretation from James
himself and from some of his admirers.
Wilson Pickett joins James for ‘Cold
Sweat’ and also sings his own hit ‘In
the Midnight Hour’; Joe Cocker gives
a soaring solo performance of ‘When
a Man Loves a Woman’ and duets with
James to rousing effect on ‘I’ll Go Crazy.’
Robert Palmer and James Brown
go toe-to toe on a series of blistering
duets. And Aretha Franklin offers a
mocking challenge to the Godfather’s
male authority with a powerful rendition
of her classic ‘Do Right Woman, Do
Right Man.’
The exciting evening opens with lively

Each star vocalist brings unique
style and spontaneity to a musical
collaboration with Basie and the
band. Standout moments include Joe
Williams’s reprise of ‘Every Day I Have
the Blues,’ his big hit of the 1950’s;
George Benson singing and playing
electric guitar on the Basie classic ‘One
O’Clock Jump’; Tony Bennett and Basie
collaborating on a Duke Ellington set;
and Sarah Vaughan, adding her own trio
to the mix and tearing down the house
on ‘Just Friends.’
Intense soloing from the Basie
instrumentalists, Basie’s own distinctive
piano playing, a duet between Vaughan
and Benson, and a climactic finale
involving all four singers - these and
many other elements make this concert
one to remember.

A classic evening with the brilliant

whose trio here features legendary

DVD+CD
Deftly and tastefully shot in 1984
in Lugano, Switzerland, before an
attentive and enthusiastic audience,
the performance comes to sharp-edged
life in this presentation, which avoids
distracting effects for close-ups and
revealing angles - dramatizing Ron
Carter’s amazingly precise bass figures,
and Cobham’s spontaneous, rapidfire
drumming and textural choices - that
serve and enhance the amazing music
being created.
Turning from the synthesizers and
electronica that, with albums like ‘Head
Hunters’ and hit singles like ‘Rockit,’
made him a pop star, Hancock revives
the amazing technique that made him
a child prodigy of classical piano and a
mainstay of the benchmark Miles Davis
quintet of the 1960’s. With dazzling
creative interplay and many chances
for each artist to shine, the evening
becomes a testament to the persistence
of jazz greatness in the post-fusion era.
Track list:
The Eye Of The Hurricane - First Trip Willow Weep For Me - Dolphin Dance Ili’s Treasure - Princess - Walking An exciting evening with the great
pop and jazz singer Tony Bennett appearing with a full orchestra that has,
at its core, a crack jazz combo. Tony is
in superb voice: from brassy, big-band
numbers that redefine swing, to intimate
nightclub interpretation, from trips
through his biggest hits to renditions of
songs made famous by younger artists,
he brings passion, commitment, and
artistic intelligence to a wide variety of
beautiful songs.
‘I Left My Heart In San Francisco,’
‘Because Of You,’ ‘Rags To Riches’:
many of the great hits of the 1950’s
and ‘60’s are here - in exciting
new arrangements. So are some
unforgettable interpretations of pop
standards: ‘My Funny Valentine’ ‘In My
Solitude,’ ‘Sophisticated Lady,’ ‘Don’t
Get Around Much Anymore,’ and others.
Then there are Stevie Wonder’s ‘For
Once In My Life’ and George Harrison’s
‘Something,’ on which Tony puts his
indelible stamp. And hot, big-band
swing is very much the order of the
evening in such tunes as ‘Lullaby Of
Broadway’ and ‘Sing You Sinners.’
This high-quality video production
captures all the musical and emotional
expressiveness in the master’s
interpretations. And a bonus CD
harks back to one of the great artistic
collaborations: Tony Bennett and the
Count Basie Orchestra.

savvy audience at New York’s Town
Hall, the concert captures all the
passion, romance, and power of both
the fado tradition and Amália herself.
From well-loved fado classics
like ‘Coimbra’ and ‘Maria Lisboa,’
to traditional folk numbers like
‘Malhão’ and ‘Canção Cigana,’ from
adventurous covers like ‘Half As Much’
and ‘Canzone Per Te’ to the Amália
original ‘Estranha Forma De Vida,’
from earthy lamentation to rousing
dances - throughout this concert Amália
Rodrigues demonstrates the range and
talent that made her an international
superstar for almost fifty years.
Her band is traditional, with dazzling
picking on Portuguese and standard
guitars. Her charm and charisma are
evident not only in remarkable singing
but also in the warmth of her banter with
the audience. And a series of exciting
encores brings that audience to its feet.
A wonderful evening, superbly filmed.

Paredes, who was born in the
1920’s and died in 2004, was the
twentieth century’s greatest virtuoso
of the Portuguese guitar, a traditional
instrument whose qualities he
developed for the modern world.
Paredes invested Portuguese guitar
with the inflections of both jazz and
traditional Portuguese fado, bringing
a uniquely compelling sound to
international audiences for many
decades.
Despite an intensity of focus on
the enormous virtuosity of Carlos
Paredes himself, this concert is
extraordinarily lively and varied.
Paredes’s accomplishments as an
original composer are very much
on display, as is his longstanding
collaboration with guitarist Luisa
Amaro, who accompanies him on
many compositions. Paredes is also
accompanied by electric guitar, flute,
piano, and synthesizer, and accordion.
Vocalists and dancers appear as well.
All this excitement and variety are
contained in the gorgeous, rapid-fire
dexterity and sensitive composing of the
great Carlos Paredes.

Willie Nelson, American icon, in an
unusually thoughtful documentary
portrait. Interviews with such stars as
Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Ray
Charles, Gary Busey, Emmylou Harris,
Kris Kristofferson and others are mixed
with insights from old friends and family
members, as well as much revealing
commentary from Willie himself.
Rare footage and photos bring to life
Nelson’s beginnings in his hometown
of Abbott, Texas, through his years as
a Nashville songwriter for Patsy Cline
and Faron Young, to his redneck-hippie
revival in 1970’s Texas and emergence
as one of the biggest pop stars of the
‘80’s and ‘90’s.
And of course there is a wealth of great
music  - much of it in deftly shot live
settings, with the nuances of Willie’s
beautiful singing and guitar playing fully
on display. Sometimes Willie sings and
plays alone, during interviews or in other
solo settings (his rendition of ‘Crazy’ is
priceless). At other times, he is casually
swapping songs and hilarious stories
with friends and fellow stars. And fullscale Willie Nelson concerts are evoked
in all their rowdy, laid-back fun. Eleven
bonus songs are available in complete,
compelling performances.
Lovingly produced, this film brings Willie
Nelson’s fascinating life and powerful
music to life as never before.

The immortal Patsy Cline, in a revealing
and evocative documentary full of
rare footage, beautiful music, and
star-studded reminiscences of Patsy
and her amazing career. From the
struggling beginnings in Winchester,
Virginia, to superstardom on the ‘Grand
Ole Opry’ and a string of hit records, to
a tragic early death in a plane crash in
1963, this film brings to life the people,
atmosphere, and sounds of Patsy’s life.
George Jones, one of the greatest
country singers of all time, sings his
heart out in this thrilling live concert,
filmed with crystal clarity and full of the
Possum’s best-loved hits.
A classic concert from the great
country-music outlaw Waylon Jennings
- recorded in 1978, on the stage of
the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville,
Tennessee. At the peak of the outlaw
craze, we find Waylon in peak vocal
form, leading a tight country-rock
bar-style band and fully in his rowdy
element.
The amazing Chavela Vargas, in a live
concert packed with all the passion,
intensity, and daring that have made
Vargas, throughout five decades, the
undisputed ‘Queen of Mexican Song.’
The great Paulo Conte - singer,
songwriter, pianist, poet, jazzman,
romantic, ironist - in an exciting live
concert of twelve pieces that reveal
a multitude of musical aspects of this
much-loved Italian artist.
Songs - many performed by Patsy in
vintage TV broadcasts - include the
hits ‘Walkin’ After Midnight,’ ‘I Fall
To Pieces,’ ‘Crazy,’ ‘Sweet Dreams’
and others, as well as some lesser
known and irresistible performances
revealing Patsy’s r&b and rockabilly
sides. Interviews with Patsy’s husband
Charlie Dick, Willie Nelson, Roy Clark,
Loretta Lynn, and other country stars
demonstrate the enormous impact
that her singing and personality had on
contemporaries. Especially compelling
are letters from Patsy herself - heartfelt,
funny, at times raunchy - as she
describes firsthand her life on the road,
from Nashville to New York to Vegas.
Period footage brings the era to life.
And in a poignant postscript, Patsy’s
daughter brings us up to date on family
events since the great singer’s death.
‘Crazy: A Portrait of Patsy Cline’ offers
an exciting and satisfying portrait of a
great American artist.
Before an excited sell-out crowd in
Knoxwood, Tennessee, Jones reprises
such great ballad hits of the late 1960s
and the 1970s as ‘Once You’ve Had The
Best,’ ‘Bartender’s Blues,’ ‘A Picture Of
Me,’ and ‘Walk Through This World with
Me,’ as well as earlier numbers that first
made Jones a star: ‘The Window Up
Above’ and ‘The Race Is On.’. The set
even includes more recent great songs,
‘Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes’ and
Jones’s own ‘No Show Jones.’
The classic Jones voice is in superb
form, and the Jones Boys are especially
blessed by the hot fiddling of James
Buchanan, who tears up traditional
country tunes like ‘Black Mountain Rag’
and ‘Fire On The Mountain.’ Mixed in
with chilling ballads that nobody can
sing like George Jones are the witty,
upbeat songs with which he also excels
- ‘The One I Loved Back Then (The
Corvette Song)’ and ‘I’m A One Woman
Man’ among them.
A fully packed, exciting evening that
demonstrates what has long made
George Jones one of the biggest stars
and greatest artists in country music.

Best - The Race Is On - Bartender’s

‘Are You Ready for the Country,’
‘Lonesome, On’ry and Mean,’ ‘I’ve
Always Been Crazy,’ ‘Honky Tonky
Heroes,’ and twelve other Jennings hits
from this breakout era get full-on, hardrocking treatment from Waylon and a
supporting cast of crack instrumentalists
— including pedal steel virtuoso Ralph
Mooney. The famous Waylon wit is in
evidence as well, with the singer making
irreverent changes in some well-known
lyrics.
A Country Music Hall of Fame inductee,
Jennings became a Nashville star in
the late 1960’s; he died in 2002 after
a long and highly successful career.
His biggest impact on country music
came in the late 1970’s, precisely when
this concert was shot: as controversial
and outspoken leader of the outlaw
movement, Waylon brought a rockand-roll spirit to country audiences
while reviving the music’s good-time,
barroom roots.
This exciting evening brings to life all
the intensity and musical sensitivity of
Waylon Jennings in his prime.

Though performed in the 21st century,
this concert brings us a Chavela
Vargas whose power is undiminished,
fully inhabiting the emotional Mexican
love songs with which she has been
associated since her recording career
began in the mid-1960’s. Wearing her
signature red poncho - traditionally
male garb, shocking to traditionalists
when her career began - she revives
the theatrical blend of spirituality
and sexuality that once made her
a sensation, tempered now, and
deepened, by the experience of age.
A rapt audience at Madrid’s Residencia
de Estudiantes hangs on Vargas’s every
note - at times the words rise almost to
magical incantation - as the great singer,
ably supported by traditional Mexican
guitar and percussion, wrings tears with
such trademark song as ‘Macorina,’ the
almost unbearably emotional ‘Se Me
Hizo Fácil,’ and traditional numbers like
‘Soledad’ and ‘La Llorona.’
A magical evening from one of the
world’s truly unforgettable performers.

Macorina - Un Mondo Raro - Soledad Si Nos Te Vas - Luz De Luna - Las

Introducing the program: a rare
interview with Conte himself, fascinating
and in-depth. The artist delves into
such topics as his own history as a
songwriter, his process of composition,
and his thoughts on the place of his
and others’ songwriting in the larger
music world - and as an interview
subject, Paolo Conte displays all the
intelligence, articulateness and subtlety
that have marked his writing and
performing throughout four decades.
Then it’s on with the show, as Conte
takes his place at the piano before
an excited audience. He revisits
past hits (‘Azzurro,’ ‘Genova Per
Noi’), improvises his way through
trademark homages to American
swing (‘Boogie,’ ‘Blue Haways’), puts
his own witty stamp on tropicalia (‘Sud
America’), and recites poetry to musical
accompaniment (‘La Vera Musica’).
Throughout the show, the rugged
charisma of this giant of European pop
is entirely evident.
Paolo Conte, live and in person, offering
the kind of riveting musical evening of
which he is a master.

Afro-pop star Manu Dibango in an
exciting live concert packed full of
percussive counter-rhythms, intense
sax, drums, vibes, powerful call-andresponse singing and sexy dancing - all
elements that have long made Manu
Dibango and his Soul Makossa crew
such a sophisticated yet always earthy
and riveting presence in global dance
pop.
The original Righteous Brothers - Bobby
Hatfield and Bill Medley - in their only
live special, shot at the fabled Roxy in
Hollywood, and featuring an amazing
wealth of classic songs performed as
only the Righteous Brothers can.
Two great singers of contemporary fado,
Malfada Arnauth and Christina Branco,
in intimate live settings that bring out all
the excitement of this highly charged
and gorgeous form of traditional
Portuguese singing.
Aldina Duarte and Mariza - two great
singers of contemporary fado - appear
in intimate live settings that bring to life
in a highly contemporary and exciting
way all the beauty of this powerful form
of traditional Portuguese singing.
‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling’ ...
‘Unchained Melody’ ... ‘Just Once in
My Life’ ... ‘Brown Eyed Woman’ ...
these and other Righteous Brothers
hits defined blue-eyed soul in the great
musical era of the 1960’s. All these
songs are revived in this live show - as
are some earlier and rarer Righteous
Brothers songs like ‘Little Latin Lupe Lu’
and the raging rocker ‘Justine.’
In their own distinctive ways, Arnauth
and Branco decisively prove that fado is
not only a tradition but a contemporary
art. Backed by a strong Portuguese
trio, each singer finds new ways of
connecting the trademark values of fado
- mournful passion, earthy tenderness,
and sheer diva-like sex appeal - with
today’s crisper styles. Both achieve
the high drama characteristic of fado
by relying on vocal charm, and both
connect powerfully with their live
audiences and with the DVD viewer.
Two great singers of contemporary
fado, Maria Ana Bobone and Mísia,
appear in intimate live settings. These
two contemporary fadistas offer starkly
contrasting ways of approaching the
beauty of a highly charged form of
traditional Portuguese singing - and
both succeed in bringing fado into a
new century.
‘Soul Makossa,’ Dibango’s breakout
1973 hit, became a worldwide danceclub sensation and pioneered the
Afro-pop explosion. Here, Dibango and
his amazing ensemble - multiple drums,
singers, keyboards, vibes, and more
- perform ‘Soul Makossa’ along with
eight other extended numbers full of
deep groove and sharp interplay among
advanced musicians.
‘Waka Juju,’ another Dibango sensation,
brings the show to an amazing climax and the energy of the entire concert
(as well as the palpable appreciation of
the audience) are captured in a clean,
tastefully shot video production.
An irresistibly bravura display of tribal,
jazz, and rock beats from the great
Makossa man himself, Manu Dibango.
Track List:
Echos Beti - Migilbawe - Afric Sans
Fric - Ashiko Dumba - Marabout Mangabolo - Wana Di Lambo - Soul
Makossa - Waka Juju
Beginning in the early 1960’s, the
Righteous Brothers enjoyed a string of
huge hits, bringing the sounds of soul
and r&b to huge audiences. While they
split up in 1968, they joined up again
for the huge 1970’s hit ‘Rock and Roll
Heaven’ - another song revived in this
show.
At the Roxy, Hatfield and Medley also
perform a medley in homage to that
other great soul duo Sam & Dave and
cover Ray Charles’s ‘Georgia,’ among
other classics. Barry Mann and Cynthia
Weil, who wrote some key Righteous
Brothers hits, are in the audience,
making the event a reunion. An exciting
and nostalgic evening, packed with
hot music.

Bobone - Espelho quebrado / Mísia Xaile de silêncio
Mísia, with her intensely powerful
stage presence, showcases awesome
theatricality and wailing vocal power characteristic of fado tradition. Maria
Ana Bobone takes a more laid-back
approach that has much in common
with modern pop singing while retaining
a strong connection to fado moods.
Between them, the singers offer eleven
electrifying fados - and in featured
interviews they discuss their careers
and relationships with fado tradition.
Both singers are backed by highly
accomplished fado players.
Bonus tracks from other great fadistas
complete the package. Straightforward
video production captures the electric
connection between singers and
audience. An exciting program that, in
the hands of two superb artists, shows
the vitality of the great vocal style of
fado.

The compelling Aldina Duarte, taking a
more traditional approach, taps all the
haunted intensity that has long been
essential to fado’s great traditions.
Mariza, on the other hand, brings
striking theatricality and jazz-like
sophistication to the form, reinvigorating
fado’s original power. Between them,
these great fadistas show that fado is
a living form, still full of romantic and
sexual intensity.
In revealing offstage interviews, both
singers discuss their careers and their
feelings about fado in our time. Highly
accomplished players offer dazzling
backup, and bonus tracks from other
great fadistas complete the package.
The video production - tasteful and
intimate - dramatizes the electric
connection between the singers and
both their live audiences.
An exciting program full of old tradition,
cutting-edge modernity, and the
magnificent vocal art of Aldina Duarte
and Mariza.

The watershed years of the British
Invasion are recaptured - when Dusty
Springfield blended the look of mod
London with the sounds of soul,
Motown, and wall-of-sound pop. The
benchmark album ‘Dusty in Memphis’
is evoked: its breakout hit ‘Son of a
Preacher Man,’ like so many of the hits
collected here, gets a complete searing
performance, one of Dusty’s best.
Yet Dusty’s work went far beyond the
bluesy sound of ‘Preacher Man.’ Her
brilliant interpretations of such powerful
and moody numbers as ‘I Think It’s
Going To Rain Today,’ ‘Spooky,’ and
other great songs show the wide range
of which she was capable. Through it all,
that smoky, powerful voice beautifully
reminds us of the artistry and passion
that Dusty Springfield brought to all of
her music.
Song Selections:
Wishin’ And Hopin’ - I Only Want To
Be With You - Losing You - What’s It
Gonna Be - I Think It’s Going To Rain
Today - Son Of A Preacher Man - You
Don’t Have to Say You Love Me - Brand
New Me - I Close My Eyes And Count
To Ten - Since I Fell For You - How
Can I Be Sure - Ain’t No Mountain High
Enough (with Engelbert Humperdinck) Spooky - I Wanna Be A Free Girl - Lost People Get Ready - The Look Of Love
Famous guitarists who appear here
include Steve Winwood, Hank Williams
Jr., Ron Wood, Bob Weir, Travis Tritt,
Tom Petty, Kix Brooks, Glen Frey and
so many more. Interviews with star
players trace the influences and impact
of such bands as Yes, the Moody Blues,
the Eagles, and the Doors. Les Paul
- legendary inventor of the solid-body
electric - is seen in a contemporary
interview and in substantial archival
footage. Other rare footage brings
us the great gypsy-jazz king Django
Reinhardt, the deep-blues legend John
Lee Hooker, and rock-and-roll pioneer
Chuck Berry, among many others.
Great session players give inside info,
while giants in the field tell stories of
their mentors. Gorgeous sound keeps
us always in touch with the fun, majesty,
and power of the electric guitar. A
thrilling musical journey.
Featuring:
Tight grooves, ferocious sax and guitar
solos, and virtuoso playing are only
some of the features of the Abercrombie
sound heard here. An advanced
leader, who came of age in the great
jazz-rock fusion era of the early 1970’s,
John Abercrombie has developed a
sophisticated ensemble sound that
depends on beautiful, thoughtful, and
sometimes even moody interplay
among great musicians.
Abercrombie’s own playing takes the
electric guitar into rarely explored
areas. The instrument can become an
orchestra section of its own - sometimes
acting as keyboard, other times
displaying rock bite, always inviting the
listener into the outer reaches of jazz
harmony and deep musical structure.
A beautiful performance by one of the
great jazz originals.

Merle Haggard, Lynn Anderson, Roy
Clark, Donna Fargon, and Barbara
Mandrell - all destined to become
country superstars - are seen here in
remarkable TV performances, taped
when they were only ‘stars on the rise’.
Singing their latest singles, plugging
their new albums, chatting with
interviewers and showcasing a host of
musical skills, artists who late became
adored icons of American popular
culture can be seen in the early (and
sometimes nervous) moments of their
first emergence on the scene.
Handsome young Merle Haggard
performs two duets with then-wife
Bonnie Owens, as well as one of his
own hits. Lynn Anderson comes straight
from here regular gig on the Lawrence
Welk show, predicting a new national
interest in country music. Roy Clark
picks and grins his way through some
flashy numbers - and Donna Fargo,
still holding down a day job as an
English teacher, maker her first-ever
TV appearance, not yet knowing that
‘The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A.’
will soon make her a number-one
sensation. Barbara Mandrell not only
sings but plays multiple instruments,
including saxophone.
Interspected with TV banter typical
of the period, these classic musical
moments return us to the days when
today’s legends were on the rise. An
exciting and poignant program.

Thrilling youthful performances from
some of the greatest country superstars
who came to prominence in the 1960’s.
Glen Campbell, the Dillards, Waylon
Jennings, and Kenny Price (of “Hee
Haw” fame) are all seen in benchmark
TV moments — taped just as these
young stars were being catapulted into
fame and fortune.
The songs featured here were fresh
radio hits when the artists came on
television to sing them. Many have
since become timeless standards
— Campbell’s “Gentle on My Mind”
and “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,”
Jennings’s “Only Daddy That’ll Walk
the Line” among them. Others have
all the spontaneity of TV taped live: the
Dillards bring wise-cracking comedy
and blistering intensity to their bluegrass
numbers; Glen Campbell shows off his
chops on banjo and guitar.
Freddy Fender, the King of Tex-Mex,
in a live 2003 concert packed with
fender’s well-loved hits - along with
exciting covers - in styles ranging from
rockabilly to pop to traditional Mexican
dance music. Freddy also appear in an
interview interspersed with revealing
glimpses of the band’s backstage life.
Chat with studio hosts is one of the
great features of the program, as we
see supreme show-biz confidence in
the young Price and Campbell, slight
shyness and country reserve in the tall,
dark and handsome Waylon (who is
also featured in an interview setting).
And the Dillards revel in their own rural
brand of cool.
This is the great John Cale at his most
distinguished singer-songwriter best.

The great Freddie Hubbard - master
of modern-jazz trumpet - leads a
brilliant quartet at the fabled Village
Vanguard, New York’s jazz mecca. This
documentary captures the heat and
artistry of Hubbard’s rapid-fire trumpet
technique, as well as fine interplay
among a group who can hardly be called
mere sidemen - Ron Carter on bass,
Cedar Walton on piano, and Lenny
White on drums.
The repertoire is an added attraction:
Hubbard and the quartet work out on
four extended jazz compositions, each
written by a member of the group. Each
piece is an exciting discovery, and each
gives all the players a chance to shine.
The program is enhanced by revealing
interview segments with famous club
owner and jazz supporter Max Gordon,
the eminent jazz critic Gary Giddins, and
members of the band.

Groundbreaking pianist, composer,
and bandleader Mal Waldron plays
an exciting concert at New York’s jazz
mecca the Village Vanguard.
Three extended Waldron originals draw
peak improvisatory excellence from
the veteran sax/flute player (and Monk
alumnus) Charlie Rouse, avant-garde
percussion genius Ed Blackwell,
modern-jazz bass stalwart Reggie
Workman, and the late trumpet virtuoso
Woody Shaw, whose untimely death in
1989 cut short an extraordinary career
- making the beautiful playing captured
here all the more remarkable.
The program is shot with creative
techniques - mixing stills and a
variety of film speeds with straight
documentary footage - that lend drama
and immediacy to the proceedings.
Waldron himself shines at the keyboard.
And in a bonus segment shown over the
closing credits, we get a chance to hear
him play solo on a backstage rehearsal
piano. A rare treat.

The Monkees were one of the most
popular bands of the swinging 60’s and a groundbreaking TV and showbiz
phenomenon, pre-dating music videos
and prefab heartthrob boy-bands by
decades. Hey Hey We’re The Monkees
moves right into the heart of both the
Monkees’ music and their phenomenon,
telling a remarkable story with clips
from their zany show, performances
of hit songs, in-depth interviews, and
rare footage.
Ravi Shankar, one of the greatest sitar
players of all time, introduced Indian
music to Western listeners and found
innovative ways of using European
elements in Indian musical traditions.
Shankar’s impact as a musician,
teacher, composer, and cultural
cross-fertilizer is unparalleled - and
Ravi Shankar: a Man and His Music
explores his ideas and his importance,
with interviews, concert footage, and a
wealth of exciting and beautiful music.
Using a wealth of archival material,
as well as recent interviews, the
documentary takes us from the TV
producers’ notion of creating a weekly
comedy about a cute pop foursome shot in the manner of the Beatles
films - through the audition process by
which this “virtual” group was formed,
to the breakout success not only of the
show but also of the albums, personal
appearances, commercials, and
concert tours that made the Monkees
a genuine craze. All four Monkees Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael
Nesmith, and Peter Tork (whose real
names, used in the TV show, made the
Monkees both theatrical and real) - give
detailed, lively interviews, revealing
both the excitement and the tensions
involved in suddenly finding themselves
stars.
We see Shankar on the streets of
Paris (at one time his adopted city)
and hear his thoughts on subtle artistic
relationships between India and
Europe. We see Shankar on stage,
jamming with the drive and intensity that
earned him the respect of traditional
Indian players and the adoration of
Western audiences. The film evokes
the sitar master’s life of almost constant
touring, his brief period of global
superstardom in the 1960’s, and his
successful struggle to redefine his goals
after the sitar fad declined.
“Monkee mania” and the amazing
merchandising phenomenon are
seen in vintage footage of the boys’
screaming fans. Controversies over
earlier Monkees albums’ use of studio
musicians are frankly discussed (as is
the firing of producer Don Kirshner),
while complete performances of
“Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Randy
Scouse Git,” and “Daydream Believer”
give us the Monkees playing their own
instruments and coming into their own
as musicians. Rare material includes
the boys’ screen tests for the project,
the Beatles hanging out with the
Monkees, behind-the-scenes and live
concert moments, clips from the TV
pilot, vintage ads in which the Monkees
appeared, and much more.
Ragas meet classical music in the
person of violinist Yehudi Menuhin,
one of Shankar’s most ardent admirers
and collaborators. And interviews
with former Beatle George Harrison
and jazzman Steve Potts dramatize
how Shankar’s music reverberates
powerfully with both rock and jazz.
(Other interviews: Mrinal Sen, Jean
Pierre Rampal, Zubin Mehta.) The
portrait of Ravi Shankar that emerges
involves dedication, compassion, and
a unique artistry that has indelibly
influenced the music of the world.
