Definately a pretty neat DVD ... it does have " Combination of the Two ", but again after the first verse they start cutting into it with recent interviews with the band. These are actually pretty good bits about how the band and the other San Francisco bands were leery of the whole Monterey Pop Fest , thinking ( and quite rightly ), that it was a bit of a scam by John Phillips and Lou Adler to package and market the whole " San Francisco Scene " , into a dayglo commercial and marketable package for the masses, and make the Mamas and Papas appear to be more hip ( or at least the kings and queens of hip ) than they were, and to make a film for profit later, some of this is mentioned in greater detail the " Monterey Pop " book by Joel Selvin, and how bands like Big Brother, the Who and Jimi Hendrix, just stole the show from John Phillips, the Mamas and Papas, and John's cronies. Anyway, so again, it's not the complete performance of " Combination of the Two " ... and yes it's the sunday performance ... I wonder if maybe there's some flaky camera work in that section of the film, and maybe that's why they always seem to start tossin' the interviews in there ... Otherwise a pretty neat DVD ... a lotta material from the " Come Up the Years " tv performance in '67 ( James Gurley looks so kool with that Les Paul Jr ), neat stuff at their rehearsal hall, some Generation Club footage, studio shenanigans while they were recording " Cheap Thrills ". Most of the interview bits are actually really good and not of the typical " fluff " type stuff one might expect ( the outtakes from the interviews, which are part of the bonus " goodies " are especially good ). Other than the band, there's great stuff from Lenny Kaye, and there's stuff from Nick Gravenites and Ellen Willis as well. All the band come off real genuine and well in these interview bits, with some real thought and insight in their comments, tho' Albin looks kinda ridiculous in this sequin sparkly psychedelic shirt he's wearing, and is it me or does he start to look like a psychedelicized bizzaro world version of Kirkwood Smith as the interview progresses ??? Other bonus stuff includes 4 full performance clips ( no interviews or picture montages etc ) 2 from the " Come Up the Years " tv performance, " Ball and Chain " from Monterey , and " Piece of My Heart " from the Generation Club. There's also a pic gallery of band photos and stuff and one of posters, a rather silly " Timeline ", and an audio only track of " Hall of the Mountain King " which has no visual, which is absolutely ludicrous considering that this is a DVD, which is basically " a visual thing " ( hey even a dumb montage of band pics through this woulda been kool ) and is also nigh on impossible to get out of once you've started it. I should point out that the darn disc doesn't seem to navigate in and out of the various bonus sections real well, and it would be a whole hell of a lot more enjoyable if th ey just let the extra interview stuff from each person run straight thru, so you wouldn't have to hit next etc, after the end of each of their individual various comments made, to start the next one, as that starts to become somewhat tedious, oh hell it's just a GREAT BIG #*%*$% PAIN IN THEASS !!! Definately worth getting tho' ... especially if you're into Janis and Big Brother, and the interview outtakes are fulla lotsa neat stuff, especially the guys in the band, I coulda listened to more from all 4 of 'em, and Lenny Kaye as well, including some comments on " Combination of the Two " which you might dig ... tho again, in answer to your actual question, once again, " Combination of the Two " is chopped up. how do you program this #$%&*%$# thing !!! maureen In a message dated 1/19/02 11:05:43 PM, NankerPhlg@aol.com writes: << A question...I understand there's a pretty recent Janis Joplin documentary for sale on tape and DVD called 'Nine Hundred Nights.' The thing about it that has me interested is that I have read that this set includes 'Combination Of The Two' from Monterey Pop. Does anyone have this new documentary who can tell me whether the entire performance of this song is included, or is it just a fragment of it? You might recall back in 1997 on the 30th anniversary of Monterey, there was a VH-1 special of outtakes, and they had this song, but they didn't show the whole song...they cut out the second verse, and anyway they had modern interviews with Monterey performers cut into the tune. I've always loved that tune, as out of tune as the guitars may be, and a piece of that version is, of course, the opening of the 'Monterey Pop' movie, but that too is chopped down, in different places, and I'd love to hear the entire track. (The Monterey Pop box set that Rhino put out in the early 1990's had 'Combination Of The Two,' but the version included there was from her Saturday Monterey set. The version heard over the opening credits was from her Sunday set, which must also be the one on this DVD, since only her Sunday set was filmed.) What was I talking about originally? Oh yeah, so if anyone has seen this new video and can tell me if 'Combination Of The Two' is complete in it, I'd appreciate it.

Having missed the Strokes in Columbus their last time around, I figured this was just as good a chance to see what they look like "in action." Must say, that although I still think all the songs on their album sound the same, I do like their image. And "live" there's just a bit more kick to the music. Also enjoyed little bits of Jack Black's appearances. Liked him in "High Fidelity," reminds me of someone I went to college with. Planning to see "Orange County" (as a girl told me when I said I wanted to see this: "that doesn't surprise me, a goof movie for a goof..."), anyone have any opinions on it? And what about Tenacious D? What do people think of them?

Haven't heard a peep out of 'em since.>> Then Leonardo Smythe said: << Hmmm. Amazingly enough, it apparently DIDN'T lead to a lot of accidental record sales! >> Y'know, I don't know if anything came out - it was a demo tape that my friend was reviewing, and at the time (1989) the word was that Enigma Records was interested. Again, that was the first and last time I ever heard their name. Unless they changed their name to something else... Enigma Records - ha! Remember them? Long before the whole post-Nirvana indie-rock revolution of the nineties, Enigma was supposed to represent underground music's strongest shot at (or against) the mainstream. Seemed like in the mid- to late-eighties, if a quirky artist looked like they were breaking through, nine times out of ten they were with the Enigma family of labels at one time or another. In that light, Enigma was like the Elektra or Blue Thumb of the eighties - a semi-major label releasing weird music for a commercial marketplace. I remember Billboard magazine even doing a whole special issue on that label, around '86 or '87. If they lasted into the so-called "grunge" era - BAM! - they woulda been on top of that scene like ugly on an ape. Who did they have on their roster? The Smithereens, Ben Vaughn, and the duo of Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper are the ones that come to mind, mainly because those were the ones I bought!! I know there were other significant artists besides that, but the names escape me now. (Didn't the Pandoras record their much-despised heavy metal album for the Enigma folks?) They were just heavy enough that they struck up a deal with Capitol (to distribute their Smithereens albums).

Here's a few off the top of my head that have either been associated with Enigma at some point or have been on a label distributed by Enigma (i.e. subsidiaries such as Restless, Gasatanka, Pink Dust, Death, Bemisbrain and I'm sure there were many others): 45 Grave, Fear (Restless), The Nip Drivers (Bemisbrain), The Leaving Trains, John Trubee and the Ugly Janitors of America, The Fiends (Bemisbrain), 28th Day (Restless, I think), The FUs (Gasatanka), Redd Kross (they did an EP for Gasatanka before departing to Big Time for their "Neurotica" LP, Wednesday Week, Rain Parade, TSOL, The Leaving Trains (the "Well Down Blue Highway" album...after that, it was SST), The Wipers, The Lazy Cowgirls (first album only), DRI (Death), The Ugly Americans (Death), Corrosion of Conformity (Death), The Dead Milkmen (first two on Restless, the rest on Enigma...before Hollywood Records took them in the Nirvana-inspired indie band signing frenzy of the early 90s), The Fiends, Screamin' Sirens, The Pandoras, Electric Peace, Yo, BPeople (posthumous compilation), Motley Crue (first LP "Too Fast For Love" before it was picked up by Elektra), The Flaming Lips (Pink Dust), Berlin (first LP "Pleasure Victim" was picked up by Geffen), Slayer (They were on Enigma's metal subsidiary (can't remember the name offhand) and then Def Jam took them in for "Reign In Blood"), Lizzie Borden, Celtic Frost.........and let's not forget Poison....or better yet, let's. This is by no means a complete list, but each of the bands listed had some connection to the Enigma empire. I may be wrong on a few of them, but I distinctly remember most of the bands having an Enigma inprint or an imprint of an Enigma distributed label. Oh yeah, The Dicks' "Kill from the Heart" was jointly released by both Enigma and SST.
