Bought this DVD on one of my favourite artists of all time, Otis Redding.
I remember listening to Sittin at the Dock of Bay when i was 10/11 and was hooked on him ever since.
I recall watching a programme of Top Ten Soul and it was presented by Smokey Robinson, with Otis at No.8 and it showed footage of him at the Monterey festival.
And the memory of this sharp suited blues and rhythm guy coming out with Booker T and the MG's and literally blowing this Hippie crowd away. For me, it is a stage prescence and charisma that only true superstars have and it had it in bucketfulls.
The great thing is that his voice carries such soul and the lyrics are Godly and heartfelt.
From what i can tell otis was clean living, devoted Husband as well.
Its a superb DVD if any of you are fans its will worth getting.
Whats terribly sad is that he died at 27 years of age, and it is perhaps a scary thought to think of the amazing music that he may of produced.
