Customer Reviews

Freddie King does it again
Any Freddie King video is a good thing since he passed away almost 27 years ago. Howeer this DVD is not as good as some others of his. The first set in Montreux (June 20,1973) has Freddie and Co. having trouble with his vocal mic and at times he cannot hear himself sing. The second set in Sweden (December 19, 1974) is much better quality. Freddie plays a small club (almost looks like a resturant) most importantly he plays songs you dont have on other DVDs'. His third set is a carbon copy of the bonus material on the 1966 "The Beat" DVD from Sweden. If you have that DVD you already have this material. If you are a collector of Freddie king music pick this DVD up. It is worth a listen.

Production Quality Not Good, Mono Sound
Sure the playing is great but the video quality is poor and the sound is bad. The sound track is mono. Shoddy camera work is annoying. I'm going to order a different Freddie King now. I wish Amazon would give more information about sound tracks, whether stereo, mono, 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS, etc.

Good Performances, Good addition to other Freddie DVD's
"A viewer's" review pretty much sums up a lot for me about the audio quality. It's unfortunate that the Montreux show has some tech. problems onstage, because it's the best audience he plays to in this collection. The other two shows are from Sweden, and the audience just isn't in to it compared to the Swiss and other King DVD's from these years. King and the band(tight as always) still give great shows, but the audience is really subdued.
"Live in Dallas" is the still the best Freddie King DVD I've got. This one makes a good companion DVD to the "Sugar Bowl" DVD, which is better.
