Legends- Live at Montreux 1997 [Blu-ray]

Live at Montreux 2003 [Blu-ray] Two hours. 19 songs. And 35 years, which is the time that elapsed between Jethro Tull's first record and Live at Montreux 2003. Pretty amazing when you consider that when the punk and new wave brigade first hit the scene, Tull, with their tarted-up progressive rock sound, was one...

Shine a Light [Blu-ray] Martin Scorsese leaps into the madness of the Rolling Stones' organization in Shine a Light, barely controlling (in a most entertaining way) a documentary that culminates in the Stones' best concert on film.

Fabulous talent
This is a one-off recording of a one-off supergroup. The band line-up is: Steve Gadd - Drums Marcus Miller - Bass/Bass Clarinet Joe Sample - Keyboards Eric Clapton - Guitar / Vocals David Sanborn - Alto Sax This is mostly instrumental, with only vocals by Clapton on a couple of tracks. As you would expect with a crack rhythm section like this the groove generated is fantastic and the opening track 'Full House' demonstrates this amply. Clapton had insecurities about playing with such a Jazz based group of musicians, however he more than holds his own against the prodigious talents of Sample, Miller and Sanborn (not to mention the drummers drummer Gadd). The numbers performed are: Full House Groovin' Ruthie Snakes Going Down Slow The Peeper In Case You Hadn't Noticed Third Degree First Song / Tango Blues Put It Where You Want It Shreveport Stomp (solo Piano) In A Sentimental Mood / Layla Every Day I have the Blues For this DVD think mid-period Crusaders, so if you like blues based Jazz/Rock you'll love this. Great Stuff.

...a nice surprise
This DVD presents an unusual collaboration of musicians and a unique mix of genres in one concert.

Legends - Live @ Montreux
Saw parts of this first on cable TV and thought it was worth owning. Got it home and saw/listened to the the whole DVD; it is really great. We'll watch/listen many times. Some great tunes and what and ensemble! They are all showcased and what great an eclectic group music from the very best at their instruments.

Somebody kill Sanborn's mic!!! PLEASE!!!
I just caught this right now On Demand. Being a big Clapton fan, my girl excitedly put it on for me. It started pretty cool, although it's pretty clear that Clapton is out of his comfort zone. He's well aware of it and simply tries to hide the fact by playing really fast. Hell, I still love the guy. He still presented us with awesome licks during the course of the show; even if it didn't quite fit in. Marcus Miller is DOPE!!! Simple as that. His being on this show is such a treat. Joe Sample is a wasted talent here. My main gripe?! DAMMIT!!! Somebody tell David Sanborn to stop hoggin all the solo spots! Even when they're playing ensemble licks - He's hella loud! It got really distracting and annoying. I was ready to turn it off just because of this him. Believe me, I like all instruments, but Sanborn just goes and goes and goes. All while being super loud. I'll keep it real - only a saxaphone player can appreciate this much Sanborn.

defective CD's
The first CD I received was defective. I returned it and received the replacement. It also wouldn't play. Amazon's response in both cases was excellent as I expected. Someone needs to sample these CD's, however. It would seem unlikely that 2 would be defective. Probably the whole batch is!!!!
