Jim Alfredson Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 I'm on it! Thanks for the heads up! Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 Nice!!! "Hit the Road, Jack" video stream here! Quote
Harold_Z Posted December 3, 2004 Report Posted December 3, 2004 I'm checking Borders this weekend. With the 20% coupon this deal is only $12.00. Not sure if Clay is in there. I saw RC around 1963 or 64 at Carnegie Hall - so I KNOW I'm going to dig the hell out of this. Quote
Soul Stream Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Posted December 3, 2004 Is Clay in the band as well? Honestly haven't had time to watch the entire tape. I don't know if I'd recognize Clay unless he solos, which I haven't seen thus far. Quote
Harold_Z Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 Got it - watched it - Get it. Absolutely A TOTAL GAS ! Jim Sangrey - pretty sure it is Clay on there. there's one track where they trade a chorus and then fours. People...Don't hesitate - this is the Ray to get. Quote
Harold_Z Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 Lots of Fathead. Oh my God! What a giant ! Quote
Quincy Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 Yowsa! Some details at digitallyobsessed.com. Quote
Harold_Z Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 The shortest Raelette there is Merry Clayton. Gimme Shellter with the Stones. Quote
Harold_Z Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 (edited) Sangrey - NO Clay! there's a personel listing and he ain't There. The kicker - I guess that's Tina Brooks ! BUT.........I don't konw about that personel listing. That sure looks like Merry Clayton to me but she is not listed. Edited December 6, 2004 by Harold_Z Quote
JSngry Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Yeah, I'm hearing through the local grapevine that Tina Brooks is on here. Haven't had that definitively confirmed, however. Quote
John B Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 Yeah, I'm hearing through the local grapevine that Tina Brooks is on here. Haven't had that definitively confirmed, however. Correct: "By the way, though I haven't watched Ray in Brazil through, when I previewed it I caught one item that will certainly be of interest to many: an instrumental with a tenor battle between Fathead Newman & Tina Brooks." Quote
Dan Gould Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 Yeah, I'm hearing through the local grapevine that Tina Brooks is on here. Haven't had that definitively confirmed, however.

Who are you quoting, John? I grabbed this over the weekend, I'm going to identify it as a "Santa" gift to me and the Mrs. I promise it will be the very first thing we watch after the World Series DVD. But seriously, when did Tina Brooks get a gig with Ray? How long did it last? It would make me wonder if Tina's life could have been different if he had a steady gig with Ray ... Quote

I still haven't seen the dvd myself. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 Joe (Milazzo) right here on this board was the first to let me know about this and I'll be getting the dvd for many reasons, but this is definitely an added one! Quote

Tjazz Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 Just picked this new release DVD up at borders for 15 bucks. Deepdiscountdvd.com was selling it for under $10 with free shipping and no tax. Quote
medjuck Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 (edited) In the notes David Ritz keeps referring to one of the performances as a "rehearsal". Does he mean the first one? Both seem to be live concerts to me-- though we don't see the audience in the first one. Maybe because of the mix ( the vocals seem a bit low to me) the 2nd concert seems hotter or is that just me? Edited December 21, 2004 by medjuck Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 I put this on my Christmas list. I hope Santa is kind this year! Quote
Dan Gould Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 Yeah, I'm hearing through the local grapevine that Tina Brooks is on here. Haven't had that definitively confirmed, however. Just opened this up, and its there in black and white: Tina Brooks - tenor Not sure why people were talking about trying to identify the members of the band, and whether its Tina or not. Quote
Dan Gould Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 OK, my wife and I watched the first set and I have three things to say: 1) Like the topic says, RUN, don't walk, to grab this! 2) I have no doubt whatsoever that its Tina Brooks soloing and trading fours with Fathead on 'Birth of a Band" 3) Anyone who has this, please listen closely to the first take of "Moanin'" and confirm for me that in his solo, Ray quotes directly and at length from "Work Song". Right from the start of his solo, I was certain that was what I was hearing, so I found a version of Work Song to play for my wife, and she applauded my ears ... but just to be sure, I'd like to hear someone from the board confirm ...

Jim Alfredson Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 I didn't get this for Christmas, though it was on my list. Guess I'll have to get it for me-self. Quote
Big Wheel Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 For a DVD, the price is right--it's only $12.99 or so in most stores. Quote
