But a rare view of one of the finest ensembles ever put onstage. I can deal with the cheesy production for the opportunity of occasionally watching those guys work.

Phil W Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 You know I've never seen T'he Song Remains the Same'. I should check it out as, firstly, it's quite cheap, and secondly, that was very formative album for me. I was referring to the other (unnamed?) one with the desert scene on the coverwhich is awesome. It featues beautiful bass playing and has video from different stages of Zep's career. And a bonus - the production values of the DVD are very high. I was delighted when I found 'Shadows and Light' in a store. It remains one of my all-time favourite records. I was so disappointed with the visual aspects of the DVD that I would become frustrated whenever I played it. The panning away whenever a soloist started playing and those dodgy amateur thematic videos. I know why don't we show a coyote running around during Coyote! The worst is when they cut away from Michael Brecker (paryers to him for his health) during his great solo on Dry Cleaner from Des Moines with Jaco's stunning and exciting accompaniment. The don't show it - instead you get a film of a fairground (was it?). I gave it to Alex. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Valentino Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Y'know, I gotta second (third?) "Prince Live In Vegas"; a really great performance which on a single viewing can put to rest ant arguments about how good he is... In my rotation: Jonas Hellborg/Shawn Lane/Selvaganesh/Vinayakrams "Paris": really amazing musicianship from some players for which the word "virtuoso" seems so small (oh, Hellborg plays some fine bass, too!) Miles Davis: "A Different Kind Of Blue": Whew! Ani DiFranco (w/ Todd Sickafoose on Bass): Rise: her voice-acoustic guitar and URB...quite a duo. Herbie Hancock: "Future2Future Live": an amazing perfomrmance with Matt Garrison providing some great basswork...fantastic band with great versions of "Chameleon" "Rockit" and others Tabla Beat Science:"Talamanam Sound Clash": Bill Laswell/Ustad Sultan Khan/Zakir Hussain and Co....This is just an amazing performance on so many levels.

Phil W Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Good stuff, Max. The Prince DVD is on heavy rotation in my house. I'll have to check out the Hellborg/Shawn Lane/Selvaganesh/Vinayakrams. I'll have to google the Miles video as I don't know the content of that one. Has anybody ever heard of a release date for that massive concert (televised years ago) in France featuring Miles, Herbie, Chick, Dave Holland, McLaughlin, etc and bands from different stages of Miles' career. That would be a must have DVD!I've heard so many great things about Future2Future, must get that, I was put off investing it due to my perception of Herbie's occasional (very occasional) lapses of taste - from my point of view. But with Teri Lynne Carrington and Mattehw Garrison I should have known it would be great.I didn't know about the Laswell DVD either. Zakir is one of the greats of music!Thanks Max!

Phil W Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'll second 'The Last Waltz', though I've only seen it on TV.I'll be interested to see the new Miles DVD to be released of the show Live at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970.

Dave Brown Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've seen a lot of things that are on my list to own, but haven't acquired, like The Last Waltz, No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (excellent)Pink Floyd, The Delicate Sound of ThunderNeil Young, Rust Never SleepsAnd a bunch of others. I own, and love: Classic Albums: Pink Floyd, DSOTM Fleetwood Mac, Rumours Neil Young, In Berlin Celtic Women (bet you couldn't guess that one)Allison Krauss and Union Station: Live (incredible, heartbreaking music.)

Quinn Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Other than what's already been mentioned: 1. The Right Spectacle - The Very Best of Elvis Costello. Awesome footage of the Attractions band with the great Bruce Thomas. 2. Burn to Shine, Vol. 2: Chicago 09-13-2004. Footage of some of the best newish bands including Wilco, Tortoise, Freakwater and Tight Phantomz. 3. The Who - Live At The Isle Of Wight. No explanation required. 4. Fela Kuti - Fela In Concert. Mindblowing performance with mediocre to halfway decent sound. One of the only two bands I've ever seen that can compete with the JB's in a funk throwdown. 5. George Clinton - The Mothership Connection Live From Houston. The only other band I've ever seen that can compete with the JB's in a funk throwdown. 6. Jimi Plays Berkeley. Just WOW! 7. Tenacious D. Warning: Stand back from your television set if you happen to be ovulating!
