(DIVX) Otis Redding - Remembering Otis (DVD-RIP) (High Quality) - by ma')('')('eo.avi 
A short documentary film that still manages to convey the power behind the voice of the late, great Otis Redding. The film basically consists of two old pieces of archival footage welded together showing Otis performing live. In the first piece of footage we see "Brooker T And The MG´s", inevitably performing "Green Onions". Steve Cropper and his mates then act as the backing band for Otis and, first-off, "Sam and Dave" who perform two tracks, most notably a rousing version of "Hold On". Otis treats us to a funky version of "The Rolling Stones" classic "Satisfaction", "My Girl", "Shake" and "Try a little Tenderness". In the second piece of footage, recorded on 17th June 1967, a few month´s before his death, Otis entertains us live at Monterey, supported by "The Mar-Keys". Here he performs "Respect", "I´ve been loving you too long" and, once again, "Shake" and "Try a little tenderness". The latter track is complemented with loving scenes from amongst the live audience at Monterey, Mama Cass from "The Mamas and Papas" looking particularly at peace with the world!. We also hear Otis singing perhaps his best known number "Sittin´ On The Dock Of The Bay", not live but to the accompaniement of a photographic montage depicting the great man at various stages in his career. The film is interesting as an historical document of Otis Redding - The Singer, but it tells us little, if anything, about Otis Redding - The Man. Perhaps it isin´t meant to, but it certainly would have been an interesting dimension to explore!. Still, the footage has documentary film-maker D.A. Pennebaker written all over it and it is indeed credited as "A film by" Pennebaker and his associates Hegelus and Douglas. A worth-while documentary about an important singer and showman, but too short and selective to really allow us to get to know the man. And I never knew that Steve Cropper, Al Jackson or Donald "Duck" Dunn could ever look THAT young!. In this respect, and for a marvellous long version of the aforementioned "Green Onions", "Remembering Otis" is indeed an historical documentary worthy of preservation.
http://spanish.imdb.com/title/tt0168109/This is great stuff. A must for any Stax Records fan and highly recommended to any music fan as an introduction to the sounds that came from Soulsville U.S.A. in Memphis, TN, in the '60s. Redding's legendary Monterey Pop performance is here, looking and sounding better than ever. His version of "Try a Little Tenderness" here may be the best example of the power of the Stax sound. With Stax house band Booker T. & the MGs doing what they did best, building climax upon climax until the whole thing explodes, Redding blew away the West Coast audience in the rain at One in the Morning. The only disappointment on this dvd comes during this song. Instead of getting to watch the MGs and Otis knock the song out, we see Mama Cass and dozens of hippies relaxing and grazing in the grass. It's really frustrating at first, but one begins to appreciate the message in the song. Treat your woman right. And it shows why John Phillips (of the Mamas and Papas) once said that Otis could have been an ambassador of good will to the world. Also from Monterey Pop, we get an unbelievably moving and powerful version of Redding's and Jerry Butler's "I've Been Loving You Too Long".
The dvd also includes footage from the now famous Stax tour of Europe in 1967. And this addition is what really makes this dvd such a great package. Not only does it have Otis doing his thing, but also "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" and "Hold On, I'm Coming!" by Sam and Dave, and Booker T. & the MGs playing their first and biggest hit "Green Onions". One of the real thrills of this dvd is watching the late, great Al Jackson, Jr. of the MGs. Never will you see a more cool and in control drummer. Bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, who is amazing throughout, and the brilliant guitarist Steve Cropper grew up watching Jackson and talk of how they would go in to see him play with Willie Mitchell's band in Memphis. They would become "Mesmerized" by him. And it is hard to take your eyes off him, he's beautiful to watch.
So, that's it. You get taken to school by the tightest rhythm section ever, Booker T. & the MGs. You get taken to church by the superstar performance of Sam and Dave, and you get taken to heaven by the king of Soul himself, Otis Redding. The only let down is that, just like Redding's life and career, it's over far too early. But this fifty minutes of ecstasy must be seen and heard. It's the closest the world will ever again get to this level of greatness and showmanship.
