Radiohead Live
Rock/Electronica Hudson/Street Cat # HUD DVD 9930 WHSL: $9.10; Price Code: O Amaray; Box Lot 30 Playable In All Regions Run Time: 112 min No Canada Sales
Radiohead’s live performance in Germany in June 2001 was a masterpiece of aural symmetry. Beginning with the National Anthem, the band gave the audience nearly two hours of otherworldly experimentation in electronic rock. Filmed at the peak of their popularity, the concert conjures moods of loss and alienation in the modern world.
“They transform studio-centric creations into live songs that are both towering and incandescent … in concert Radiohead are as organic and explosive as any band playing today.” — PopMatters

No Canada Sales
Al Green was the first great soul singer of the ’70s and arguably the last great Southern soul singer, well known as both a hit maker and an artist who released consistently engaging, frequently excellent, critically acclaimed albums. His hits, whether gospel or R&B, have continued uninterrupted through the years. This concert, filmed in Tokyo, features an explosive nonstop performance filled with passion and the religious fire that only Al Green at his best can create. Songs Include: • Jesus Will Fix It • Everything’s Gonna Be Alright • You Brought the Sunshine Into My Life • In the Holy Name of Jesus • The Lord Will Make a Way • Pass Me Not • None But the Righteous • In the Garden Prayer • Precious Lord
“Mr. Green has made a deeper, more obsessive study of soul music’s central message—I love you—than perhaps any other pop musician. For him it represents the dual nature of life, the split between God and man, between being in the world and being of it.” — New York Times, 2005

“The Small Faces were the best English band never to hit it big in America … but in England, the Small Faces were one of the most extraordinary and successful bands of the mid-’60s, serious competitors to the Who and potential rivals to the Rolling Stones.” — All Music Guide

Alceste Alceste—now on DVD! An operatic event to celebrate the reopening of the Anna Amalia library in Weimar. The story of Alceste, as found in Greek mythology, was one of the most popular stories used in opera in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Schweitzer/Wieland Alceste, first performed in 1772, was a huge success. In the story, the king of Thessaly weds Alceste, but when he becomes ill, she offers to give her own life in place of his. After her death, Hercules travels to the underworld, where he asks Pluto to restore Alceste to her husband, and the two are joyfully reunited. This performance features sopranos Simone Schneider and Cyndia Sieden, tenor Christoph Genz, and bass Josef Wagner as well as the Concerto Köln and Kammerchor Michaelstein conducted by Michael Hofstetter.

Doodlebugs: Hitler’s Terror Weapons The German deployment of the V1 (Vergeltungswaffe), and later the V2 rockets, marked a stunning new development in German military capabilities. These primitive rockets were the first guided missiles in war and the forerunner to today’s intercontinental ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Nicknamed “buzz bombs” for the characteristic sound of their jet engines, they were also referred to as “doodlebugs” after an Australian insect with similar erratic flight patterns. In this program we trace the development of the V1 and V2 rockets and their subsequent use by the Germans during World War II. Using rare archival footage, stunning computer graphics, and expert commentary, we witness the fascinating story and the reign of destruction inflicted by Hitler’s terror weapons. Narrated by Graham McTavish. NTSC, B&W and Color, Dolby Digital Stereo, Menu Language English, Full Screen 4:3.

Tanks! The Fall of France Armored forces played a critical role in the German invasion of France in the spring of 1940. The attack of German panzer divisions through what the French believed to be the impenetrable Ardennes forest effectively outflanked British and French forces in France and Belgium. The Allies were forced to retreat in disarray toward the channel ports, which led to the collapse of French resistance. In this program we look at the role of armored forces on both sides in the dramatic battles that led to the stunning German victory. Features rare archive footage, stunning 3-D animation, and a detailed examination of the machines by David Fletcher of the Royal Armored Corps Tank Museum at Bovington as well as writer and historian Bob Carruthers.
