Teddy Pendergrass has been a soul icon since the early 1970's. His start came as a drummer for the group "Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes". He quickly became lead singer of that group and churned out hits such as "If You Don't Me By Now" and "I Miss You". Teddy went solo in 1978 and had several hits, including "Turn Off the Lights" and "Close the Door". Teddy's appeal with ladies was undeniable, including many "ladies only" concerts. Sadly Teddy was a serious car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Confined to a wheelchair, Teddy made a comeback in the mid 80's. A precursor to current R&B singers like Jaheim and Johnny Gill, Teddy Pendergrass is an original. This DVD is a live performance in Los Angeles, recorded sometime in 2003. Here's a breakdown of what you're treated too..

Living Colour: CollideØscope (DVD-Audio)

Living Colour…you remember them, right? Sure you do! The, the soaring, ever-so limber vocals of Corey Glover, precision low-end bass of Muzz Skillings, the airtight percussive barrage of Will Calhoun and the incendiary guitar work of Vernon Reid…four brilliant musicians out of New York City playing a genre smashing amalgam of hard rock, punk, funk, jazz, blues and soul long before any of today's chart-topping suburbanites could hold a guitar. Still don't remember, huh? Does the song "Cult of Personality" do anything for you? What about 1988's Grammy-winning, multi-platinum album "Vivid" and the less successful, but equally brilliant, follow up "Time's Up"? Ring any bells? I guess I shouldn't even bother to mention 1993's ultra-dark follow up "Stain", should I? Sugar Hill bassist and all around virtuoso Doug Wimbish replac...Read the entire review

5.1 Entertainment has released a relatively famous Iggy Pop recording from his sold out show at The Ritz in New York City back in 1986. While I'm of the personal opinion that no live recording could ever do justice to the spectacle of manic energy that is an Iggy Pop concert, this recording does do a pretty good job of trying, at least considering that this is a mid-eighties show, a time in his recording career that I consider to be one of the low points, obviously with a few stand out singles being the exception.

The seventeen tracks included on this release are:

1. I Wanna Be Your Dog
2. Shades
3. Fire Girl
4. Lust For Life
5. Hide Away
6. Baby, It Can't Fall
7. Sister Midnight
8. Some Weird Sin
9. I Got A Right
10. Down On The Street
11. Five Foot One
12. Nightclubbing
13. Winners And Losers
14. China Girl
15. Blah, Blah, Blah
16. Real Wild Ch...Read the entire review

The original Fleetwood Mac was nothing like the Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac you're probably familiar with. Far from the Top 40 mainstay of the 80s and 90s, the original band— composed of Peter Green, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer, and Danny Kirwan—blared out a strange amalgam of Buddy Holly oldies, down-home blues, serious rock, and silliness. Not many listeners know about the funky origins of this band, but this Live at the BBC disc serves as a kind of time capsule.

The original Fleetwood Mac enjoyed success in the late 1960s by trying their hands at several styles of music—and doing it well. The tracks on this disc were recorded for the BBC over numerous sessions, culminating with a final performance in which the band had already begun to change toward its later incarnations. The music styles throughout the many tracks are so varied that you might get the se...Read the entire review
