Brown, James - James Brown in the '60s : 3 x DVDs
SKU
21-SHOUTFACTORY10879
For the age and the time, this is two amazingly good quality, previously unreleased video documents of James at one of his many peaks in the 1960s, singing and playing and dancing his ass off and his band pushing him further and further. Fascinating socio-political watching too, with his sincere 'soul brother' raps and the very good documentary included telling the story of his legendary concert in Boston the night after Martin Luther King was murdered. Conditionally highly recommended.
"DISC 1: THE NIGHT JAMES BROWN SAVED BOSTON
Features the director's cut of the acclaimed VH1 film The Night James Brown Saved Boston, which tells the story of a 1968 concert that not only averted riots in Boston in the aftermath of MLK's assassination, but also set James Brown on a revolutionary new path. Includes additional interviews with members of James Brown's band, friends and colleagues, plus a panel discussion from the film's premiere in Boston.
DISC 2: LIVE AT THE BOSTON GARDEN
Features the historic 1968 Boston Garden concert as originally broadcast by WGBH. Contains additional audio from the radio simulcast of the concert.
DISC 3: LIVE AT THE APOLLO '68
Features Man to Man: James Brown Live at The Apollo Theater 1968, a TV special taped the week before the Boston show and unseen for 40 years! Plus bonus performances from 1967 and 1968 shows at L'Olympia in Paris, AND the legendary version of "Out of Sight" from The T.A.M.I. Show (1964)."
