justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to adjust the volume and re-edit some track marks. No EQ or noise reduction was used. I seperated all the tunings and false starts from each track so that you could listen to just the songs if you so wish. I encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps because the DVD had lossy audio.

This DVD is said to be dress rehearsals for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, and seems so with there being no real audience. It is known that some bands were filmed with no audience present and then the audience was edited in later. This was confirmed by Kansas, who were on Kirshner Records. The band released their Rock Concert performance with their Sail On Box Set and talked about the filming in the intro to the DVD footage. So this could actually be a show taping. At the end of the last track the director thanks Ambrosia then tells the crew to prep the stage for John Cougar as the audio fades. They retake a few songs because of technical difficulties, if it was a dress rehearsal they wouldn't need a retake of  Your The Only Woman because of a faulty drum mic. So I really think this is an actual taping that the audience will be dubbed in. Either way it's a pretty cool glimpse behind the scenes of Don Kishner's Rock Concert.

Formed in the early 1970's by Larry Graham and Neil Schon, the band was initially called Azteca. The music was a mix of the Funk that Larry had played with Sly & The Family Stone as well as the Latin rhythms that Schon loved from his days in Santana. When Schon left to form Journey thew name was changed to Graham Central Station and the Latin rhythms replaced with a healthy dose of American Gospel Music.

This is a great performance with thee band running through a number of their classics then shifting to spotlight Larry's time in The Family Stone. CD2 is made up almost entirely of Sly & The Family Stone's hits.
