Review

After the first two CSNY recordings, Stephen Stills broke out into his own with some solo efforts and a second band, Manassas, backed up by CSNY session men Dallas Taylor on drums, Paul Harris on keyboards, Fuzzy Samuels on bass, Al Perkins on electric slide guitar, Joe Lala on congas and the stiff but talented Chris Hillman, of the Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers fame. The Manassas band was a change from the hard rock electric sound established by Stills in Buffalo Springfield and was one of the first bands to bring a MOR blending of country and rock to a hip audience.
The program was taped in Germany in a television studio without announcer or audience. Stills and band play the numbers with very little chatter between numbers, taking advantage of the German show's policy of letting bands play their numbers without interruption or editing of musical numbers. The result is a short but sweet DVD sampling of this band that is a sub note t rock history. The DVD contents include the following numbers: Bound To Fall It Doesn't Matter Hide It So Deep Song Of Love Rock and Roll Crazies Cuban Bluegrass Jet Set with extended Jam The Treasure All these songs were from the first Manassas album, a double "record" set that gives us a good sampling of the more memorable songs of this band. Some of my favorites were missing, such as "Love Gangster", "Move Around" and "Blues Man" but it is still a good set.

Summary

A very nice package for Stills followers showing his talents off with other talented musicians and featuring a range of different songs ranging from pure country to heavy duty rock. The best is saved for last on this DVD, with the Jam and The Treasure, as the band really begins to cook. As with most MusikLaden "concerts", it is way too short and pricey but Pioneer should be commended for producing these little bits of Rock and Roll history for us.

Megadeth - The Arsenal Of Megadeth

Category: Music Reviews
"Arsenal of Megadeth" is every die-hard fan's dream, mainly because it is much more than a compilation of the band's videos. Most of their videos are indeed included, but interspersed among them are tons of video goodies that serve as a unique timeline chronicling Megadeth's two decade career. What will likely be of prime interest to long-time fans is that over half of the content has never been released on home video.
