Roy Buchanan is one of the best ever. This DVD is top flight as far as quality goes. A great concert very much worth purchasing.Movie Review: Timeless Performance!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked this DVD for it's look back at a VERY under rated guitarist and artist. This was recorded for a PBS program called "Austin City Limits" and they always had leading edge performers of various styles of music. The Audio is Very Good as well as the Video, Performance is stunning although he seems a little unmoved or bord, but maybe that's his style, all I know was that note for note he was right on. He's much better live, very stylish and smooth licks. The bass and drums could have been a little more pronounced and snappy but OK for a recording of this age. (Probably not enough market to re-master, what a shame.) This is a recording of a true master of early blues-rock and should be one for the keeper pile and is highly recommended, just wish it was longer!
I wish Amazon had a 3 criteria rating that would make for a quicker, more accurate and fair rating of Cd's, DVD's and Blu-ray's.
1. Performance
2. Quality of Audio
3. Quality of Video (for DVD's and Blu-ray's)
1.*****
2.****
3.****
Artists that wish to have there performances recorded and recognized should be held to a standard. Poor Audio or Video, no matter how good the performance, is still a bad product. Those who would still purchase sub-standard Audio or Video quality recordings and rank that product highly just because of performance are not doing the industry or the band justice. Demand better and we will get it, settle for less and that's what you'll get.
Movie Review: Great picture and sound now.
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD offers a big improvement in picture and sound over the bootleg video in circulation. Too bad no "bonus" songs were found to be included with the original five we get on the new 32 minute disc. It is Roy in his prime, playing great, performing several of his signature songs. The handwritten set list feature of the DVD is actually incorrect ("Soul Dressing" is left off). Now I'd love to see a good official DVD created from the masters of the 1971 WNET-TV documentary that introduced Roy. The holy grail for me is to see video of Roy's appearance on Don Kirshners Rock Concert in 1973.Movie Review: Pretty good, but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
Except for Royz Bluz, in which Roy makes a lot of nonsense (and painful) noise with his guitar, the material is strong. The sound is also very good.
Unfortunetly, the video is very short (only half an hour), and when it ends you feel like something is missing, i mean, you keep waiting for him to get back on stage and play some more...
