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.
The incredible band chemistry and stellar improvisational abilities of the Papamichael World Group, led by guitarist Anthony Papamichael, can now be experienced in the comfort of your own home on this new concert DVD, Time To Shine, recorded live in 2005.

By the early part of the 'Big '80s', pioneering fusion ensemble the Dixie Dregs were put on indefinite hiatus. From its ashes arose a consummate power trio of immeasurable, nigh unfathomable talent.

This video companion to the Canadian singer-songwriter's triumphant live album confirms in sight what that recording advanced in sound--Sarah McLachlan and her fine, flexible stage band have evolved into a superb live performing unit, breathing added fire and nuance into McLachlan songs that were already stunning in their original studio versions. Always a strong, charismatic singer, McLachlan now conjures a rare balance of delicacy and power, measured here in performances of signature songs that add a new, more muscular edge matching her band's rock firepower.
