DVD Review - The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus
On December 11th, 1968, The Rolling Stones hosted a concert originally planned to be broadcast on the BBC. The event was based on Mick Jagger's idea to stage a rock and roll show interspersed with circus acts. Reportedly unhappy with their performance, the Stones shelved the project until the release of this DVD in 1996. Jethro Tull leads off, obviously miming to a pre-recorded track of "Song For...

DVD Review - Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live at the El Mocambo
In 1983, Stratocaster slinger Stevie Ray Vaughan and his posse, bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris "Whipper" Layton, rode into the El Mocambo Tavern in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and flooded the Great White North audience with a sonic wave of boogie and blues born deep in the heart of the Texas. "Testify" and "So Excited" start off the proceedings with a shot of high... (posted by Greg 2 years 340 days ago.)

Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Gypsy
In 1959, James Marshall Hendrix enlisted in the U.S. Army and served as a paratrooper, which is appropriate, because his style was so revolutionary that in retrospect, he seemingly dropped from the sky armed with a guitar and blazed a trail followed by a generation of players. After being released from the Army, Hendrix cut his teeth on the "Chitlin' Circuit," a string of clubs in the South so named because they served... (posted by Greg 3 years 3 days ago.)

Eric Clapton: From the Cradle to the Crossroads
Few guitarists, if any, have been as influential as Eric Clapton. He started by learning the riffs of blues masters Freddie King, B.B. King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, and Robert Johnson, among others. Combining this encyclopedia of blues licks with his own original phrases, he developed a style which has become the template for blues/rock guitar playing. Eric first became known in 1963, as the lead... (posted by Greg 3 years 35 days ago.)
