Subject:Back to Stax

While wandering through the music DVD section of a local store I stumbed
across a DVD called Back to Stax, which is a 1990 recording of Booker T & the
MGs (along with some of the artists they backed up) a show at Cannes, France.
For anyone who, like me, is a Booker fan, this DVD is great. It is in mono
and there is one section that has no song breaks at all (40 minutes in one
track), but there are lots of close-ups of Booker at the organ. Great
technique lesson, and you can often see registrations as well. Dunn and
Cropper are there, and the DVD includes Green Onions, Time Is Tight, Hip Hug
Her, Hang Em High, and Summertime. There are probably another 20 tunes with
the MGs backing up others, including Soul Man, 6-3-4-5-7-8-9, Hold On, I'm
Coming, and I Thank You,.

The DVD is made by Quantum Leap, and is distributed by MDV music video. The
web address on the package is musicvideodistributors.com, but I suspect the
DVD may be available at Amazon. I have not tried the web address.
