About The Blasters Live - Going Home
Product Description The Blasters emerged from Los Angeles rock scene in the late 1970s. Led by brothers Phil and Dave Alvin, their contemporary twist on Americas not-so-distant past set new standards for American roots rock. Frequent shows with fellow Angelenos X helped earn the band legions of loyal fans whose numbers continue to grow. In August 2003, the original members reunited (once again) with both Alvin brothers intact, to perform at The Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, California. In August 2003, the original members reunited (once again) with both Alvin brothers intact. Notorious for their raucous stage show, this DVD is the long overdue debut of The Blasters on film. The 19-track set finds the band in top form, showcasing such band staples as "Marie Marie," "Border Radio" and "Im Shaking." Adding to the magic of the evening are guest spots by a few of the bands idols: Sun Records recording artist Sonny Burgess, harpist Billy Boy Arnold, and surviving members from doo-wop legends The Calvanes and The Medallions. The Blasters Live! Going Home documents the band nearly 25 years after its formation. Theyve never sounded or looked - better. Program: 1. Show Opening 2. Marie Marie 3. Real Rock Drive 4.

One Bad Stud Special Features: * Classic Blasters - Performance footage from the early 80s * Authentic 5.1 Surround Sound Audio Mix * Additional performances by the current Blasters line-up * Interviews with each of The Blasters and their special guests Amazon.com Virtually a Southern California institution since the 1970s, the Blasters may not have achieved the wider recognition enjoyed by fellow Angelenos X or Los Lobos, but these guys have always known how to rock--a basic truth that's evident from the moment they hit the stage in this 2003 concert. Billed as both a reunion and a farewell (although to hear them tell it, there may well be more of both in the future), the show finds the original quintet, led by battlin' brothers Phil (guitar, vocals) and Dave (lead guitar, songwriter) Alvin, charging through an 18-song set that showcases their blend of rockabilly, blues, R&B, and good ol' rock & roll. It's a rootsy sound perhaps best described simply as "American Music" (also the title of one of Dave Alvin's better-known songs); but whatever you call it, there's no denying that this is a high-energy, highly entertaining performance, which also features guest appearances by Sun Records rockabilly guitarist Sonny Burgess, bluesman Billy Boy Arnold, and members of doo-wop groups the Calvanes and the Medallions. Bonus materials include footage of the band in the early '80s and today (Phil Alvin and bassist John Bazz are still holding the fort). All in all, a rockin' good time. --Sam Graham
