Blues Festival on DVD 

Reelin’ In The Years Productions, in association with Experience Hendrix, bring you the American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966 Volumes One & Two. The AFBF was an annual event that featured the cream of American blues musicians barnstorming their way across western Europe every fall from 1962 through 1966. Recorded live in a small TV studio in Germany, these historic and unseen performances have been lost for nearly 40 years. 

Filmed with superb camera work and pristine sound, each DVD contains 18 complete performances from the greatest blues musicians of all time. Captured during their heyday in an era of scant video documentation, these DVDs are truly one of the most unique and precious visual documents of the blues.

The American Folk Blues Festivals featured a dazzling array of talent that included such greats as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Sonny Boy Williamson playing alongside other legends such as T-Bone Walker, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Memphis Slim and Big Mama Thornton to create the most significant group of blues artists ever assembled!

Other DVD features include photos and a booklet.

Muddy Waters on DVD

From the back cover:
These rare performances -- all electric -- capture Muddy as the embers of his career glowed anew. By 1968, the folk blues had waned and the sound he popularized in the mid-1950s was returning to the fore. Over the next decade, Muddy secured his place as the godfather of rock and roll. The slide guitar technique he plays on these versions of Country Boy, Honey Bee, and Long Distance Call is at once contemporary and as pure as when he learned it as a dusty child in the delta fifty years earlier. In Got My Mojo Working, Muddy works the vocals from his cavernous chest into his mouth and then shakes the words from his jowls and cheeks. His singing is as glorious as his playing.

Throughout his career, Muddy always drew exceptional sideman. Muddy's two great pianists -- Otis Spann and Pinetop Perkins -- are both featured here, as are harmonica players Carey Bell, Paul Oscher, and Jerry Portnoy. Guitarists include Pee Wee Madison, Bob Margolin, and Luther Johnson, and on the skins are Muddy's last two great drummers, S.P. Leary and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith.-- Robert Gordon, author of It Came From Memphis

The Band on DVD 

The farewell performance of The Band was at The Winterland in San Francisco on Thanksgiving Day 1976. In 1978 the original Martin Scorsese film was released; remastered in 2002 with lots of bonus material. 

Sitting in with The Band on various songs through the evening is an all star list of musical legends, including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, and so many others. 

This concert is so legendary that it is still talked about today. If The Last Waltz is used as a litmus test to define rock videos, most would fall short. 

Please visit our Band section that has additional information about The Last Waltz. 

Eric Clapton on DVD 

Recorded in Hyde Park, London, June 29, 1996.

Track List: Layla, Badge, Hoochie Coochie Man, I Shot the Sheriff, It Hurts Me Too, Wonderful Tonight, Five Long Years, Tearin' Us Apart, Old Love, I'm Tore Down, Have You Ever Loved a Woman, White Room, Every Day I Have the Blues, Holy Mother.

Led Zeppelin  on DVD 

Led Zeppelin put more effort into producing the Led Zeppelin DVD than most bands put into making their videos. The positive result is apparent, as this earns our highest recommendation. This two-disc DVD offers four segments of essential live Led Zeppelin music plus lots of additional amenities. The primary performances are from four distinct periods of the bands career: 1970, '73, '75, and '79. The bonus material offers plenty of 1969 footage, interviews, more.
