April 25: A DVD of the John Entwistle Band will be released June 29 by Image Entertainment. It will be the entire performance done at the Itchycoo Park Festival (Manchester, TN, August 13, 1999) plus other material. Three songs from this performance -- Shakin' All Over, Summertime Blues, and Young Man Blues -- were shown in 2000 on in-store closed-circuit TV at Best Buy stores, but the songs on the DVD will feature different video footage and audio mixes. The performance will be issued in 5.1 surround-sound.
As this performance was part of a festival, they had to play a short set, about 45 minutes. However, as part of the festival, it was professionally shot with 11 digital cameras, giving a wide range of choice in footage to use.
It will be available in regular retail outlets; no sales through johnentwistle.com are planned. See Image Entertainment's website for more info under June New Releases.
