Customer Reviews of The Blasters Live - Going Home
ORIGINAL BLASTER FAN A few weeks before the Blasters played outside of Downey, I was lucky to have met Dave Alvin & Bill Bateman. A good friend of mine, Anna Statman called me, together we went to their first gig.
From the time of hearing the first drum beat, the first guitar chords, the first vocal from Phil Alvin, this great band has moved my soul. After leaving the first show, I was hooked, and knew this band was going to be special. I had to see them over and over again.
Fast foward 20+ years, the Blasters have given the world a true gift. The years apart cant be told here. The band plays better than ever. It would be harder to find a better rhythm section than Bill Bateman & John Bazz. Gene Taylor is a monster piano player. No one should be able to rock the 88's that good.
Brothers Dave & Phil Alvin bring a true love of the legends of American Music to the band's sound. Dave is the author of many songs performed on this DVD. He also distinguishes himself like few others on guitar. Brother Phil, is the the voice of the Blasters, and my what a soulful voice.
Do yourself a favor, give yourself a well deserved gift. Buy this DVD, you will play it over and over. On the 20th play, you will be glad of the purchase, the music will have grown on you. Your soul will be moved.
Long live the soul of the Blasters.
Blast from the Past!
Woo hoo!
Here's a major treat for Blasters fans, as well as aficionados of foot-stomping, gut-busting rock-and-roll with a rockabilly flavor.
It seems that the original Blasters reunited for this wonderful concert in 2003 at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, California.
Yes, along with Bill Bateman, John Bazz, and Gene Taylor, here are the great Alvin Brothers sweating, grimacing, and playing their hearts out, covering all the Blasters classics, including Marie Marie, Red Rose, So Long Baby Goodbye, Border Radio, and American Music.
Sadly, the legendary saxophonist Lee Allen, a leading member of the group's auxiliary forces, passed away in 1994, and this splendid DVD is devoted to his memory.
Offering the Blasters support at this concert are a number of their mentors, including Chicago bluesman Billy Boy Arnold, rockabilly icon Sonny Burgess, and West Coast doo-wop originals the Calvanes and the Medallions.
The video and sound quality here are top-notch, with a 5.1 surround sound audio mix. Special features on the DVD include a number of classic Blasters performances taken from the early eighties, plus interviews with all the band members and their guests at the show.
The concert does wind down a bit near the end - there is a certain sameness to some of the up-tempo rockabilly numbers - but it concludes on a rousing high note with the closing numbers of American Music and One Bad Stud.
What can I say? Along with John Fogerty's Premonition, this is simply one of the best roots-rock DVDs available and a must-own for rock-and-roll fans. Need I add that this DVD was made loud to be played loud?
Great Band - but that guy's teeth...........Yikes!
These guys sure did put out some cool music. It's too bad they didn't seem to have a decent dental plan because it was much needed.
