CHRONOLOGY

This is a compilation of various concert footage and a few TV show appearances throughout their prime from 73 until 83. You'll find some really early CBGB club B&W footage of their infancy days, plus some of theior classioc tracks featured in various TV shows like Saturday Night Live or David Letterman Talk Show, or still yet their Montreux Jazz Festival or veven their RnR HoF induction. Of most interest for the progheads is their extended line-up including the excellent Crosseyed and Painless with Adrian Belew in the line-up. As for this writer, I find that only the last third of the DVD is really of interest (starting with Take Me To The River), including the excellent Burning Down The House, which still featured that special lineup (albeit slightly abridged: they were only 6) on Letterman. As for the lengthy booklet, it's a related text, that doesn't really relate to the band's history. Rather it appears like a loosely related essay that I couldn't managed to read past the second page, just browsing the pictures.

Rather interesting a product, but progheads are advised to find and check the awesome Stop Making Sense concedrt and movie, even if Belew had left the band for King Crimson by then.
