Product description

Marty Robbins was a reticent television performer. His appearances during the early part of his career were few, so this DVD is a treasure trove. Here are performances and interviews dating from 1959, the heart of Marty's golden era. As an added bonus, we catch Tompall and the Glaser Brothers at the dawn of their long career. Marty was perhaps the most versatile singer in country music, and these long lost performances bear that out. He runs the gamut from Hawaiian songs to western ballads to teen pop to classic country. He does it all effortlessly, and he does it all superbly. If you weren't lucky enough to be at the old Town Hall Party in February and October 1959, we'll take you there! NTSC all region.

4.0 out of 5 stars The incomparable Marty Robbins on stage - 1959 vintage.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2009
Verified Purchase
The Town Hall Party ran from early 1952 until January 1961, and was broadcast live over KTTV Channel 13 in Los Angeles, California. It originated from the Compton Town Hall Dance Club, about 10 miles from Hollywood, and featured many of the top recording stars of the day. When watching a recording, you can get the impression of organised chaos, a bit like the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman.

This DVD features two appearances from 1959 by Marty Robbins, a very big star of the day, singing a selection of his current country, pop-country, and Hawaiian songs, along with one of his trail songs, The Hanging Tree(!), which was his current hit recording.

The programme is as follows:

From 21 February 1959 -

* Introduction - Jay Stewart
* I Can't Quit - Marty Robbins
* Medley: I'll Go On Alone/ Pretty Words/ Time Goes By - Marty Robbins
* A White Sports Coat - Marty Robbins with The Glasers
* The Story Of My Life - Marty Robbins with The Glasers
* Just Married - Marty Robbins with The Glasers
* Johnny Bond interviews Marty Robbins on stage
* Down Where The Tradewinds Play - Marty Robbins with acoustic guitar
* Johnny Bond interviews Marty Robbins on stage
* My Isle Of Golden Dreams - Marty Robbins
* Nothing But Sweet Lies - The Glasers
* When I've Learned - The Glasers
* Where'd You Stay Last Night - Joe Hudgins
* Stairway Of Love - Marty Robbins with The Glasers
* The Hanging Tree - Marty Robbins with The Glasers

From 3 October 1959 -

* Introduction - Jay Stewart
* My Isle Of Golden Dreams - Marty Robbins
* Oh, How I Miss You (Since You Went Away) - Marty Robbins

Johnny Bond was a big country star, and something of a western film star of the day. By modern standards the 'interviews' on stage are hammy, but Marty's personality shines through, and he is in great voice.

The picture quality, in B & W, is not great, being recorded by the 'off broadcast' kinescope method used in those days, but is certainly watchable, and a rare opportunity to see both Marty and the Glasers from that time in 1959. The kinescope was the only way of saving a live TV performance for replay from the early 1940s until the early 1960s. The sound, again, is some way short of modern standards, but the recording is well worth hearing, in my view.

The programme lasts about 50 minutes. Additionally, there are brief clips from 4 other Town Hall Party DVDs, ones featuring Eddie Cochran, Bob Luman, Gene Vincent and Johnny Cash.

A unique piece of country music history, marred only by the quality of sound and vision - a result of limited technology.

Quite a rare recording. I really did like it. I just wish there was more of his concerts available on dvd, rather than on youtube.

Great to have an earlier performance of Marty Robbins on dvd. Wonderful performance at a smaller town venue. Relaxed fun atmosphere. Have watched it over and over already!

Being a HUGE Marty Robbins fan, I was in my element reading this book. Although I found a number of discrepancies between the book and other items/articles, including quotes from his son Ronnie, I still enjoyed this book. I was so impressed that my idea of how good a person he was, not to mention what a great performer, added to the enjoyment of this read. Very much recommend the book, to any country western music lover, or just interested in reading about a great man in show business.

LOVE MARTY ROBBINS! Was happy to find this great series. I actually just discovered him in past few years, via utube, while searching for another country singer. This was another in my growing collection of Marty's songs and/or videos.
