What was your last Music DVD purchase?

Posted by: Not For Me on 21 May 2004

I thought a new thread was needed.

My last music DVD was:

Fischerspooner - DVD #1

With all of #1, all the videos, a documentary, artwork, and aboout a dozen remixes of Emerge, 15th, Invisible etc.

Nice!

ITC - Ian Smagghe - Suck my Decks

Shawn Colvin - Live at bora bora

Nice DVD, cheap enough. Not a "concert experience" but nice to see a side of a musician we don't often see.

Mountain - Sea of Fire. A superb hard rock set but what a pity it couldn't have been recorded 30 years ago when Felix was alive and they were at their peak.

A must buy if you're into tuneful hard rock.

Bloody heck, that takes me back ! I honed my air guitar skills to an album called "Nantucket Sleighride" when I was 11. Felix Papalardi (or something). What what the other blokes name ? The second side was one track wasn't it ?

Minky,
Nantucket Sleighride was a classic heavy rock album from early 1971. You're thinking of either Flowers of Evil which was the follow up, or the live album, the Road Goes Ever On, which had a 17 minute version of the track Nantucket Sleighride as the second side.

Felix Pappalardi was the bassist and lead vocalist. He was also a record producer who had previously done much of Cream's stuff. Sadly he was shot dead by his wife in 1983. Leslie West was lead guitarist and vocalist and an absolute mountain of a man (hence the name). They were a fantastic contrast in style and sound, Pappalardi having a beautiful melodic voice, West a gravelly growel. It was this contrast that made them so distinctive and they produced some of the very best heavy rock from that period. Corky Laing on drums and Steve Knight on organ completed the lineup.

West and Laing have played together as Mountain quite regularly over the years and are going through a minor renaissance at the moment, with the new DVD, and their first two classic albums recently remastered with an extra live track on each. Well worth a listen if that's your kind of music.

Tori Amos - Welcome to Sunny Florida. Admittedly, you either like it or you don't, she is an aquired taste. I have mucho respect for her band too, her drummer, Matt Chamberlain is the man!

Rush Live in Rio excellent, energetic and enthusiastic audience gives great atmosphere almost like being there.

Wire, On The Box 1978. German TV appearance, a whole hour of Wire live, fantastic. They all still had hair too. The extremely polite, seated, German audience fail to pogo, or, indeed, show any signs that they might actually be alive.

The Cat Stevens 'Magicat' has some great stuff on it, but unfortunately a lot of the time it also feels a bit 'manilow'. Still, if you are a fan it has more than enough good stuff to qualify as as a worthwhile purchase. Unusually for me I enjoyed the extras too - totp type videos of the singles, and an interview with Yusef about his childhood, musical development, and why he left the music biz.

Concert for George. first part you have to sit thru a sitar ragga but after that the Python it's are good with "Sit on My Face" and a song about Lumnberjacks, then the friends gather for some really good stuff you'd been waiting for.
