Stuff - Live At Montreux 1976 (2008)

Stuff Live At Montreux 1976 is their only performance at Montreux, combined the talents of five amazing musicians: Cornell Dupree on guitar, Gordon Edwards on bass, Steve Gadd on drums, Eric Gale on guitar and Richard Tee on keyboards. Individually they were among New Yorks most sought after session players of their day but together as Stuff they had a magic all of their own. This will be a joyful addition to Stuff fans. These guys traveled the world as musicians backing folks like Grover Washington, Paul Simon, Joe Cocker and Aretha Franklin.

Live at Montreux 1976 is issued in a full-screen transfer. Unfortunately, the original VHS master was apparently not available, so a first-generation copy was used for the DVD instead. Consequently, the video quality isn't as sharp as with other shows from the same time period (such as Marvin Gaye: Greatest Hits: Live in '76, for instance). The picture isn't unwatchable, but is a bit murky and indistinct. The Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS Surround mixes are both impressively clear, with the DTS mix having a slight edge in volume (and, both, of course, winning out over the original PCM Stereo mix).
