Customer Reviews of The Strawbs: Live in Tokyo '75
The Real Deal The Tokyo show features THE classic lineup of the prog version of the Strawbs (and they have reunited, BTW, to play this year's Nearfest - already sold out - and a few other gigs). The sound quality is mediocre and the mix is less than great (the mellotron in "Grave New World" is completely buried) but Dave Cousins sounds terrific and the entire band play very tightly. The GRAVE NEW WORLD album video is interesting, definitely worth seeing. It DOES contain some cringe-worthy dated imagery but as an historical document is of interest nonetheless. Oddly, they leave off "Queen of Dreams", making it an incomplete incarnation of the album. The other extras are fun as well, and for any Strawbs fan this is a necessary purchase.
Worth Buying
Certainly worth the purchase for Strawbs fans. The Tokyo concert portion of the DVD is not bad, although the band seems a little tight, and the sound quality is only average.Cousins is in fine voice however, and Dave Lambert gets going towards the end of the show.
I found the Video for " Grave New World" much more interesting. Some great old footage of the band. At the very least you get the entire " Grave New World" album, if you dont already own it.
The DVD also includes 3 interesting bonus features, a clip from British TV of Cousins,Hooper,Chesterman (?) and Rick Wakeman from around 1970, a clip about the song "Grace Darling", and a 2002 video of a rather rotund Cousins and Rick Wakeman performing a song from "Hummingbird".
An interesting purchase for Strawbs fans, although some more liner notes would have been welcome.
A Good Concert from a Remarkable Band
Strawbs Live in Tokyo '75 is a treasure in that it is probably the only live video recording of the greatest Strawbs line-up, featuring Dave Cousins, Dave Lambert, John Hawken, Chas Cronk and Rod Coombes. Cuts like Down By the Sea, New World and Hero and Heroine are stand-out tracks and make this a must-own for Strawbs fans. The extra bonus full-feature film of the earlier Grave New World album (which was created as the first-ever film of an album intended for play in cinema theaters) makes this an even more important record of a great band.
