Canned Heat - Special Edition EP

Rating:
Summary: Brilliant but short
Review: I always thought Alan Wilson was a genius, and seeing him play and sing on "On the Road Again" comforted that opinion. Alan is much more reserved on the other tracks (drugs?) but Bob Hite makes up with high energy. Short but a must have for Canned Heat fans.
The other previews on this DVD are quite enjoyable as they dig out the best era performances for all the bands.

Summary: Couldn't They Have Found Any Better Footage?
Review: This DVD was a major disappointment. Not only is it too short but the performances are pretty reserved and not real interesting. The original (and best) guitarist Henry Vestine is present only on the lip-synched "On the Road Again" where we see an apparently medicated Alan Wilson delivering lyrics with the style of a fourth-grader giving an oral report on the Pilgrims arriving in America. It is not representative of what I consider America's greatest blues boogie band.
Perhaps they will dig up some better live footage of the band but in the meantime, for Canned Heat fans, the low price of this DVD is about the only reason for buying it.
