In 1972 The Strawbs were at their peak. After more than a dozen high profile tours of the States and Canada the albums 'Hero and Heroine' and 'Ghosts' rode high on the Billboard charts. But now it was time to conquer new territories. This concert footage was taken from a concert in Tokyo in 1975 and features Dave Cousins, Dave Lambert, John Hawken, Chas Cronk and Rod Coombes. This special DVD also includes 'Grave New World - The Movie.' In 1972 The Strawbs were on the album charts for three months with their epic album, 'Grave New World.' The film of the album was remarkable for being the first full-length video of a music album produced solely for cinema use. Band members include Dave Cousins, Tony Hooper, Blue Weaver, John Ford and Richard Hudson. Special bonus features on this DVD include: 'The New Era': 'Til the Sun Comes Shining Through,' Rick Wakeman's television debut from a 1970 Granada TV show; 'The Strawbs at Sea': News interview from 1974 with Dave Cousins talking about the single 'Grace Darling' while visiting the Longstone Lighthouse on an RNLI lifeboat; 'Hummingbird Preview': 'The Young Pretender' from the Wakeman & Cousins album filmed in Rick's studio in May 2002. This DVD was produced by and released on Dave Cousins own Witchwood Media label.

Awesome DVD by the Strawbs. Loved the 1975 concert film. I am a fan of John Hawken's piano playing..so to see that captured on film was great. Even the 1973 portion was cool to see with an earlier line-up of the Strawbs. I have new respect for Dave Cousins and Dave Lambert, both main stays of the Band. It was interesting to see part of the evolution of the Strawbs.
I have always loved The Strawbs since Hero and Heroine. And it's only recently on Amazon that I have been able to reconnect to them again. Buying in CD form, reissues of classic albums. Bursting At The Seams, Grave New World for example.
Never having seen them live, this footage is great in that it took me back to a time when I believe The Strawbs were a formidable force.
The Japan concert footage just post Hero and Heroine is better than I expected.
And I really enjoyed, except for the inevitable drum solo which was kind of the norm at the time and feels dated.
We receive as extras precious footage of the Grave New World film which has a very young Dave Cousins and looks a bit dated yet. And yet the music is beautiful and it is the beginning of a great and somewhat forgotten band.
Interesting from a historical perspective, but the concert wasn't very long, but that wasn't my main disappointment. The play selection didn't work so you just had to watch through the whole thing to get to wherever you wanted to watch.
This production was made the same year I saw The Strawbs in a small club in Denver. That was one of the five best shows I ever experienced.
Live In Tokyo captures the essence of this particular makeup of the group and you will be amazed at how decent the production values are, considering it was 32 years ago. Great audio and very restrained but solid camera work.
The performace is extraordinary. "Grave New World" and Hero and Heroine" will blow you away.
Thank you digital technology for getting this out to us and The Strawbs for producing this TV special in the first place!
Yes, the band at the Tokyo show may be the best line-up, performing at a time when the Strawbs were enjoying their greatest international popularity. The set selection is first-rate and the band plays with demonstrative energy and an air of professional prowess. Dave Cousins has always had an "interesting" voice, which can be very charming when he sings in a natural manner, or a little distracting when he pushes its eccentricities. He veers both ways here. And while there are no lack of great keyboards on stage, the mighty mellotron is buried in the mix, and does not cast the ethereal spell like it does on their albums. (Also, I don't think I've ever heard a moog played so conservatively.) And, of course, the extended drum solo gets tedious very quickly.
The show contrasts well with the videos for Grave New World, which I believe is their most balanced and compelling album. It's odd that the quirky second side is prominent here, while two of the best tracks from the first side are left out. But this is still a very captivating presentation where the material and presentation overcome the rudimentary video format.
In retrospect, the Strawbs are a little bit of a guilty pleasure, providing a last lush rush of British prog just prior to the recalibration and catharsis of the punk movement. They were never as rococo or egregiously dilitante as some of their contemporaries (e.g. Topographic Oceans) and also maintained a traditional folk underpinning that kept them rooted. The Halcyon Days double is a great collection that is worth tracking down.
Il pacco col DVD si è perso ma ho ricevuto regolare e tempestivo rimborso: consueta impeccabile serietà di Amazon e dei suoi venditori. Conosco però il contenuto del DVD che rappresenterà una vera chicca per i fan degli Strawbs che riusciranno ad accaparrarselo:,contiene un Live della formazione di Heroe&Heroine e Ghosts, con John Hawken alle tastiere e il mitologico film inerente all'album Grave New World. Tutto materiale difficilmente reperibile in rete. Il DVD dovrebbe essere leggibile dagli apparecchi europei perché, a quanto mi risulta, è una edizione inglese.conviene però chiedere conferma al venditore.
40年前にNHKのヤングミュージックショーで見て以来、いつかまた見てみたいと思っていた。ストローブス絶頂期の演奏だけに文句のつけようがない。ただ、フィルム素材だったのが意外。オリジナルビデオ素材はもう存在しないのだろう。音質は良好。Grave New Worldのビデオクリップも見応えがある。ストローブスファンには見逃せない作品だ。
