James Brown - Live At Boston Garden 1968 [no label 1DVD Torrent: 17467] "This is a complete concert that was broadcast live on April 5, 1968, just 24 hours after the assassination of civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. Violence erupted in Boston, as it did in many American cities. Concerned about the possibility of full-scale riots, Mayor Kevin White considered canceling public events, including a James Brown concert scheduled that evening at Boston Garden.

"But doing so, the local leaders warned, might push an already agitated community over the edge. The mayor agreed, and Brown soothed the grieving audience with an electrifying performance in memory of Dr. King.

"The crowd becomes wild, jumping on stage surrounding the godfather of soul, James Brown. Police try to no avail to push the crowds off the stage, but it gets worse. James Brown takes control of the whole situation and the show goes on! Actual shot from video. Pro-Shot for television." The DVD is not perfect. Whoever booted this to DVD messed up here and there, inserting a few segments twice (one excruciating one, of a very unfunny comedian's routine, appears twice). But it looks as if the show is indeed complete, it would just need a few nips and tucks to correct the flow. Video VG+, Audio Ex- mono? Time: 105 min./Black & White

Elton John - BBC In Concert 1970 w/outtakes [MasterPort 1 DVD NTSC Torrent #60383] live in BBC studios, May 22, 1970. Complete show with outtakes, 53 mins. "The BBC In Concert that was posted before, was from the Trio rebroadcast. This is from the BBC original tape. The sound is great, very little hiss, and the video looks as if it came from the original master. If the Trio version video is a 10, this version is a 9.5. In other words, there is very little quality drop off. Also, the Trio version cut out a bit of the crowd shots as they went to commercial. The original BBC broadcast had no such breaks. From what I can figure it's about 30 seconds longer. The best aspect is the additional footage. Cuts 8-14 are different versions of the In Concert songs. You can hear the Director after Burn Down The Mission, #8, say, "We're gonna do that one again." Five songs total are presented in alternative versions. The Greatest Discovery, #11 on the box is really just an alternate intro of Bernie. Every other song is a complete different take. For instance, the performance of, Sixty Years On sounds a bit out of sync and needed a re-take. The quality of the outtakes are the same as the original show." Video & Audio Ex stereo.

This is a smaller version of the complete 7 hour, 4DVD complete outtakes set and is approx 100 mins.

A lot of footage was shot silent, with the audio later to be synced up with the Soundboard Tapes of the shows. That is why the Audio sometimes varies from clip to clip."
