"I'm writing this on 2/5/09, a few weeks before the release. I just read about it in the current issue of Rolling Stone. I'm suspicious because I can't find anything on Shout's website, or on Amazon giving details on this DVD. The reason it matters is that Reelin' In the Years Productions, an excellent outfit, released Stax/Volt Revue in 2007 that took place in Oslo Norway in 1967 and, along with Otis, has Booker T and the MGs, Sam and Dave, and others. That release mentions nothing about D.A. Pennebaker. I didn't know D.A. Pennebaker was involved with Otis, other than the Monterey Pop documentary. The 1967 Oslo Norway concert was advertised as One Night Only. Rolling Stone magazine states that Pennebaker caught the soul giant in Oslo with Booker T and Sam and Dave. So, D.A. Pennebaker filmed the exact same concert that was already released in an excellent edition by Reelin' in the Years Productions? And that concert was shot by the NRK outfit in Oslo. I would wait to learn more about this release. Something is not right."

If you love his music, you have to see him LIVE!

"As a huge fan of Otis Redding's music, I couldn't wait to get this DVD and see him LIVE in concert. This DVD does not disappoint! Otis is electrifying, and his performance of "I've Been Loving You Too Long" alone is worth the price."
