I was just watching my copy of the House of Blues DVD. I think HOB may have been the finest moment for "Love with the Forever Changes Ensemble".

It sure would be nice to see this DVD become available to the fans again.

Personally, I think it COULD have been a good DVD -- if the entire concert had been filmed. Unfortunately, it cuts off before we are able to see JE and DC perform (which was DC's final performance before he passed on). This was history, and the only footage showing all of them is that lame rehearsal What a wasted opportunity

After waiting for so long to finally get my copy, I found it to be a very disappointing DVD -- but, that's just my opinion

LOVE and peace to all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

And to you too, finelyfree. Ditto Johnny. Hope he's well, taken a deep breath and that the creative juices are flowing.

BRG, Let me clarify: This was definitely an outstanding performance by Arthur and the guys. When Arthur was good, he was SOOOOO good...and this concert shows him in terrific form, absolutely!! My comments were in reference to the production of the DVD.

Thanks, MikeP for the kind words, which I will pass along to JE (he's doing very well, thank you!)

LOVE and peace to all --

And let's keep a prayer in our hearts for one classy lady, Mrs. Diane Lee...it's been a rough year, and she has handled her loss with such dignity.

Fortunately for me I own a copy and I also attended the show. As I've said before it was MAGNIFICENT!! The production credits are given to Arthur Lee. Unfortunately he's not around to respond to any complaints.With an obvious ZERO budget I would say that the cameraman/soundman did a damn good job of capturing the evening for posterity.We owe the famous New Guy for that!!

That encore of "Smokestack Lightning" was just a rambling blues jam, not even near to being on par with the main set. But maybe someday for all you diehard nostalgia collectors someone will pair that HOB encore together with the Seattle encore where Arthur invited Snoopy up on the stage, and then promptly exited, leaving Snoopy up there alone to empty the house!

I know this is an old topic, but I was wondering if the 'House Of Blues' DVD is available again?
I did have a copy which I picked up at one of the gigs but this has been lost over the years. I would love to get another copy of the dvd.
