Summary: Pretty cool DVD from German TV
Review: This DVD is pretty good except it cuts out a lot of the songs halfway thru the performance. Some of the performances are in black and white-others in color-on some you can tell that they are not playing live-just playing along with the prerecorded song-- Best cuts are Vanilla Fudge, Spirit (1984 in color performance-with all original members), Chicago Transit Authority-with a 1969 I'm a Man, and Iron Butterfly-color performance when Mike Pinera was in the Band. The performamcewith Canned Heat was in color but cut off after only a minute-Refried Boogie, the Byrds performance was incomplete-Eight Miles High in 1971 with the last version of the band-this performance started in the middle of the jam of this song (the version that is on the Byrds album -Untitled and never showed the vocals-this lasted about 5 minutes and than ended-what a downer!!!! About 22 cuts in all-German TV 1969 -1972 I would recommend it but several performances are cut for no reason-no notes in the box-but worth it it you are a fan of the era and saw these bands live. Pick it up --collectors only.
