Format:DVD
Words cannot describe how excellent this double DVD is. An absolute MUST for any lover of 60's soul. Featuring the Stax / Volt tour of Norway in 1967 with amazing footage of Arthur Conley, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding and the fabulous Booker T and the MGs. This archive film is of the most perfect quality. The film is crisp and fresh and the sound quality is so clear it is hard to believe it was filmed over 40 years ago. The Stax documentary is riveting and heartbreaking, featuring truly wonderful film of Otis Redding and such loving tributes to him. An absolutely exceptional DVD that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Format:DVD
This documentary premiered on US TV this summer (07) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the label which rode the wave that was Soul, the soundtrack to the struggle for Civil Rights. From it's beginnings in a old cinema on McLemore Avenue in Memphis, through it's golden era(s), the story of Stax is the story of the rise and fall of Soul as the dominant musical genre, to the point where disco took over.
The influence exerted by Soul though is still felt today, and the music has never been allowed to die by those who love it. In 2007 the label has been reborn, with re-releases and new material, and the 50th anniversary is a great excuse for this documentary, to celebrate the part the music played in influencing change in the 60's and 70's
Samuel L. Jackson narrates things, and you'll hear from giants of Soul like Isaac Hayes, Mavis Staples, Carla Thomas, Sam Moore, Booker T. Jones, and Eddie Floyd. THere are concert performances by Otis Redding, Booker T & the MGs and Isaac Hayes, plus footage from the legendary 1972 Wattstax concert. You also getthe first interview by Stax founder and co-owner Jim Stewart in 15 years, plus never-before-seen home movies and performances by Stax artists.
Add in the Stax/Volt revue footage, from the European tour in 1967 and you have a unique record of the music that helped change the world - superb performances by all concerned, particularly Sam and Dave and most poignantly Otis Redding. Essential for any Soul fan
