Description:

Culled from the video archive of Germany's popular MusikLaden TV show, this compilation of live performances offers the proverbial something for everyone, from the blue-eyed soul of Hall & Oates to the three-chord thrash of the Ramones. It's an incongruous mix, united only by the chart-rising popularity of each selection, spanning the 1970s and presented, with mixed results, in remastered Dolby 5.1 sound. The hilarious low point is Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show's drunken, unruly romp through "The Cover of the Rolling Stone." And while you're trying to reconcile such ethereal hit-makers as Melanie and Bonnie Tyler with more seasoned performers like Van Morrison and Jethro Tull, you can be grateful that these vintage clips, several including extended jams, have been so faithfully preserved. By the time the Ramones fittingly close the disc with "Blitzkrieg Pop," you'll be having a very nice day, indeed. --Jeff Shannon
