The Concert For Bangladesh was the first benefit concert of its kind in that it brought together an extraordinary assemblage of major artists collaborating for a common humanitarian cause-setting the precedent that music could be used to serve a higher purpose.

It is acknowledged as the inspiration and the forerunner to the major global fundraising events of recent years.
On this Brazilian release, guitarists Sydnei Carvalho and Alex Martinho team up for an unforgettable concert experience (DVD one) and instructional session (DVD two).

Included is a 16-page bilingual booklet (English/Portuguese) with photos, lyrics, quotes and credits.
Conceived by the French director Adrian Maben as "an anti-Woodstock film," Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii was shot in October 1971 in a vacant, 2,000-year-old amphitheater--a venue chosen to accentuate the grandeur and spaciousness of the band's Meddle-era music. This disc contains a new, 90-minute director's cut as well as the original 60-minute concert film, whose production and effects feel inescapably dated.
Half its members may be dead and its leader may be keeping a low profile, but the Who remains enormously popular. Devotees who haven't availed themselves of Jeff Stein's thrilling, self-mocking 1979 documentary about the group shouldn't wait another minute now that the film has been painstakingly--perhaps heroically--restored to its theatrical-release length from original elements.

Doug Aldrich shines in the lead guitar chair, providing fiery solo after fiery solo. Marco Mendozo handles bass chores, while Timothy Drury rounds out the band playing keyboards. All in all, an amazing concert experience made even better with Aldrich's six-string contributions.
