The greatest DVD live concert video of all time !
When I can find time one of my favorite things to do is put on one of my ” way to many” DVD live concerts. I dont think I have to many but others seem to say I do. I have been going back to ones that I have seen many times over and over again recently. I love the America 9-11 telethon recording, Vol 1 of the Old Grey Whistle Test, The Johnny Cash Show complete set, and The Three Pickers videos. I have seen them all many times. There is one that I have revisited at least 10 times and it was just released in late 2005. The movie is called Lightning in a Bottle ” A one night history of the blues” and is so much fun to watch. This show was produced in 2005 by Martin Scorsese and has Stanley Jordon ( awesome drummer withe a long resume) as musical director. Where do I start ? Solomon Burke killing it with Down in the Valley — worth the price of the DVD alone. Ruth Brown strutting her stuff and Odessa yelling at the band because they were making her sing to loud. Old classic vids and interviews of Son House and John Hooker. James ” Blood” Ulmer singing one of my favs – Sitting on Top of the world. Keb Mo and Bonnie Raitt do their thing !! Buddy Guy tears it up on Hendrix tunes and even comes back out on stage to tear up a version of VooDoo Child. I just cant say enough about this evening. If you were there you experienced something so special that I am envious. Go get this ! Explore the blues ! Rock and Roll would not even be around with out it !!!
