Groupies

Rating:
Summary: Great soundtrack
Review: Besides giving us a look into a 60's phenomana, the groupies, we get to hear some of the most blistering songs ever played by Ten Years After back intheir prime. The band is still great today, but the playing due in part I believe to ingested chemicals, is what made this group the best of all time. Alvin's fantastic guitar work, Leo's sympathetic bass lines, Chick's moody but not down keyboard work, and last but not least Ric Lee's penominal drumming show whay this was the band no-one wanted to follow on stage.Listen and savour.

Summary: Alvin Lee is great, but these groupies are BORING
Review: I must say, I didn't have a clue who Alvin Lee was or 10 Years After. Now I know! What a great guitarist!!! I certainly felt like ripping his clothes off as he ripped that guitar up, so I understand how those groupies felt. Unfortunately, most of them come across as boring, un-attractive, brainless air-heads! If you are looking for "Penny Lane", you won't find her here! I enjoyed the segments with Cynthia Plaster-Caster and Pamela Des Barres, the most famous groupies and no need to identify them, I know them by sight! I didn't have a clue who the other girls were. It would have been nice if their names were pictured somewhere during their interviews, so I could put a name to a face! More could have been done to spruce up the dvd! It will become obvious how a pretty girl (though no raving beauty) like Pamela Des Barres became "the most famous" groupie....most groupies (judging by this dvd) were hideously ugly! Other famous (and BEAUTIFUL) groupies, like Catherine James and Christine Boris, are not on this, just so the buyer knows...
