Product Description
American soul singer Otis Redding has often been described as synonymous with the term soul, music that arose out of the black experience in America through the transmutation of gospel and rhythm and blues into a form of funky, secular testifying. Although he lived a short life, his legacy continues and a number of songs were released posthumously including the hit (Sittin On) The Dock of the Bay in 1968 which went straight in at #1 on both the US and UK charts. This classic film footage contains Otis Redding s most exciting performances from the 1966 Stax Volt tour and the 1967 Monterey Pop. Otis s breathtaking performances at the 1967 Monterey Pop festival gave him a new audience. Although he had gained prominence in the past, his reputation was limited to rhythm & blues fans. He so electrified the audience at Monterey that the world of pop opened for him. From that point on Otis s audience transcended all categories. The 1966 Stax-Volt European Tour contains performance footage of the first major multi city tour of America s R & B superstars. Superb performances by Sam & Dave and Otis Redding hypnotized the European kids again opening up new audiences for Otis and propelling him to stardom. This breathtaking concert filmed by D. A. Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus and David Hawkins remembers Otis as he was and will not disappoint!

If you love his music, you have to see him LIVE!
27 Feb 2009
Format:DVD
As a huge fan of Otis Redding's music, I couldn't wait to get this DVD and see him LIVE in concert. This DVD does not disappoint! Otis is electrifying, and his performance of "I've Been Loving You Too Long" alone is worth the price.

Hold on a minute
6 Feb 2009
Format:DVD
I'm writing this on 2/5/09, a few weeks before the release. I just read about it in the current issue of Rolling Stone. I'm suspicious because I can't find anything on Shout's website, or on Amazon giving details on this DVD. The reason it matters is that Reelin' In the Years Productions, an excellent outfit, released Stax/Volt Revue in 2007 that took place in Oslo Norway in 1967 and, along with Otis, has Booker T and the MGs, Sam and Dave, and others. That release mentions nothing about D.A. Pennebaker. I didn't know D.A. Pennebaker was involved with Otis, other than the Monterey Pop documentary. The 1967 Oslo Norway concert was advertised as One Night Only. Rolling Stone magazine states that Pennebaker caught the soul giant in Oslo with Booker T and Sam and Dave. So, D.A. Pennebaker filmed the exact same concert that was already released in an excellent edition by Reelin' in the Years Productions? And that concert was shot by the NRK outfit in Oslo. I would wait to learn more about this release. Something is not right.
