Here's
a rundown of the musical performances that can be enjoyed
on this DVD:
1. Back Up Against the Wall -
The boys kick off the show with this high powered tune
that has served them well as an opener since the early
days. Andy carries the lyrics over a driving beat that
leads to a classic instrumental finale - let's rock and
roll!
2. Champagne Jam - There
is no doubt - this one's a classic. They're playing up
a storm, trading licks, and jamming all night long. Andy
hits the high notes and everybody takes a turn soloing -
proving, once again, that these guys can really play.
3. Not the Only One - A
featured song from the "Eufaula" album - that
also included a number of classic ARS performances. This
tune starts off with a slow driving, melodic, and haunting
feel and and moves quickly into a hard driving rock and
roll tune with some awesome rhythmic backgrounds and world
class solos. ARS has always featured great ensemble playing,
but they can also be a great guitar jam band - and here
you go!
4. Not Gonna Let it Bother Me -
This classic hit off the "Champagne Jam" album
features more tight ensemble playing and interplay along
with lyrics that we can all relate too.
5. So Into You - Dean's
signature keyboard work leads into one of ARS's biggest
hits - and a tune that helped define the ARS sound to millions
of people. From "A Rock and Roll Alternative," this
tune spotlights Barry's amazing guitar work - always a
high point.
6. Spooky - The Halloween
song was a hit for both the Classic's IV and then ARS on "Underdog." The
fact that ARS started off as top-notch studio session players
comes through on this number - as Barry let's it wail,
Dean steps right in and Steve brings it home.
7. Imaginary Lover - Fortunately,
some things never change - and on this one, it all comes
together with one of their biggest hits from "Champagne
Jam." Andy gives it heart, Barry and Dean get to shine
- it's another great jam.
8. Homesick -
The show rocks to a close with this song from the "Quinella" album.
On the country charts, this song also turned out to be
a big hit for Travis Tritt - but it's a classic ARS tune
that combines classic vocal work from Andy, strong
harmonies from Steve, tight rythmic riffs from Barry,
Steve and Justin,
crisp organ work from Dean, and a hard driving beat provided
by Jim.
