Taste Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 out september

After Jethro Tull, The Who, ELP, The Doors partially and others have released their sets from the IOW festival, now it´s Taste´s turn.
Watch the clip. it has great quality!

 

Very cool! It's cool/interesting to see Rory's Strat with more finish than wood.

 

Cool!

 

Blu ray?

 

Can't wait!

 

Big regret, had tickets, tent and lift. Then my wife had Flu.

 

Will this be a dvd/cd combo?

 

I have the live album on a UK polydor records for many years. This new one should be expanded.

 

Judging by the lineup, live albums I've heard and You Tube videos, Isle of Wight 1970 had it all over Woodstock.

 

From Eagle Rock's website:
On 18 September 2015, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release “What’s Going On – Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970” by Taste. This is a simultaneous release on DVD, Blu-ray, 2LP and CD formats represents the first ever video release of this legendary performance.
The film tells the story of Eire's seminal rock band Taste, formed in Cork, Ireland in 1966 by Rory Gallagher, Taste had a brief but influential career, releasing two studio albums in 1969 and 1970 and disbanding shortly after their legendary appearance at the 1970 Isle Of Wight Festival, which is the centrepiece of this film. The core of “What’s Going On” is the band’s performance at the festival on August 28th but it is encapsulated by a documentary on the history and importance of Taste and setting the scene for their Isle Of Wight Festival appearance. This features contributions from Rory’s brother and Taste road manager Donal Gallagher along with Brian May (Queen), The Edge (U2), Bob Geldof and renowned guitarist Larry Coryell. Taste’s performance at the festival was so well received that Jimi Hendrix when asked on the Sunday, “How does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world”, replied, “I don’t know, why don’t you go and ask Rory Gallagher?”
The original 1970 footage was shot by Academy Award winning director Murray Lerner. The 16mm film has been restored and the sound remixed for this 2015 version of “What’s Going On – Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970” which includes all the tracks on the original 1971 Polydor LP plus several additional tracks. Bonus features on this release include three tracks from the German TV series Beat Club: “If The Day Was Any Longer”, “It’s Happened Before, It’ll Happen Again” and “Morning Sun”. Additionally there are three conceptual music videos for the tracks “I’ll Remember”; “What’s Going On” and “Born On The Wrong Side Of Time”. Rory Gallagher and Taste are also being celebrated with the “I’ll Remember” 4CD box set released by Universal on 28 August 2015 boasting remastered Versions of Their Two Acclaimed Studio Albums “Taste” and “On The Boards”, including Bonus Tracks. Also included are previously unreleased live concert recordings from Stockholm’s Konserthuset, The BBC and Woburn Abbey Festival, plus Demos of both released and unreleased material.

Rory Gallagher would go on to enjoy an acclaimed and highly successful solo career. Johnny Marr said, “The man who changed my musical life was Rory Gallagher, I picked up a guitar because of him.” The electrifying “What’s Going On – Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970” is an early example of Rory’s justified reputation as the ultimate live performer.

 

Wow, the quality is outstanding! Rory in all his Glory!

 

Outstanding

 

It's s magnificent year if your a fan of Rory Gallagher & Taste!
It's a very anticipated release for me.
There was such an amazing line up at Isle Of Wight in 1970.
Even Terry Reid was brilliant at that show. Wonder if that was filmed?

 

Nice. Glad to see it is finally coming out!

 

Great to be a Taste fan! We just hit the pot o' gold lads.

 

Too bad the preorder link on Amazon isn't working. Were you able to preorder the Taste box set William?

 

Wow - looks like truly excellent quality footage!

 

Dang. I'm gonna have to get a copy or two of this.

 

Yeah John, I ordered in May when it was first announced.

 

Rory (Live) Rules!

Saw him as a opening act (can't remember who the headliner was), had never heard of him before, but was blown away!

 

May have been Aerosmith at the Central Park?

 

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a huge Rory fan so my opinion is definitely slanted but Taste is THE greatest power trio of all time. It was criminal that they never got the accolades that they deserved. Can't wait to get this.

 

I saw them open for Blind Faith at Varsity Stadium in Toronto in 1969.
Glen

 

No, it was in California.

Likely 1974 or 1975.

I'm almost positive he was billed as Rory Gallagher and not as (the band) Taste.

Is there a list of Rory's U.S. performances anywhere?

.

 

He opened for Rush in the early 80's (I saw two Rory/Rush shows then, December of '82). Did you see that tour?
