DVD Reviews of Classic Albums - The Band - The Band

DVD Review: Americana on Video: its almost at its best
Summary: 4 Stars

Anyone out there who is a huge fan of American music has to get this video. It allows viewers to glimpse into a time not to distant from the Beat poets, and see how artistic striving, and good feeling worked itself into something unique and and fervently American. Even though most of the members are Canadian, they capture the American spirit of Rock-n-Roll and change in a way most groups were incapable of doing. Check it out and then buy "What happened to Kerouac".

DVD Review: One of the very best.....
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the very best "rockumentaries" ever! I loved the whole thing, especially the interviews....especially the ones with the ultra-talented producer/singer/song writer/pianist John Simon-my friend. You might consider checking out John's own recordings.

Summary: 4 Stars

Very good comprehensive review on The Band. Gives good insight into the individual members and why some of their songs were written. A good addition to my collection.

DVD Review: the band
Summary: 5 Stars

you've heard their music, now hear their words. this dvd gives insight into an extrordinary album of the early 70's; a release that was polar opposite to much of the musical landscape of the era. timeless tunes created by five talented musicians. the joy on levon helm's face is rich as he recounts how the harmonies of himself, richard manuel and rick danko were structured. an impromtu version of unfaithful servant performed by rick is just as emotionally poignant now, as it was on the lp. a couple keyboard demos by garth hudson is both pythonesque, and accomplished keyboardist, in it's scope. and with much less screen time compared to the last waltz, robbie robertson has a word or two as well. after viewing this dvd, cue up the band's lp on the turntable, or tray in the cd, and relive this great work once more!

DVD Review: A Great Band
Summary: 4 Stars

After viewing The Last Waltz on the Sundance channel everynight it was on, I was hooked on learning more about this group. Their sound is classic and if you're into The Band you should buy this DVD if for no other reason than to watch the contemporary Garth Hudson play the organ. It will make you smile. Also, check out Levon Helm's book This Wheel's on Fire. An extremly interesting and realistic view of life on the road in this great rock and roll band.

Description of Classic Albums - The Band - The Band

Comprised of Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson, The Band's self-titled sophomore effort spent 24 weeks in the Billboard Top 40. The album was released at a time when the US album charts were taken over by the psychedelic rock movement, and despite this, the album had the aforementioned chart success and would go on to sell over one million copies. This edition of the "Classic Albums" series focuses on The Band's follow-up to "MUSIC FROM BIG PINK". Featuring classics such as "Up On Cripple Creek", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", and "Rag Mama Rag", the story of the album is told through interviews with surviving members of The Band, fellow musicians Eric Clapton, Don Was, and George Harrison, and vintage footage. The Band is a classic album!
