NancyJohnson Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Took delivery of the the aforementioned DVD this morning - managed to watch about half of it during my lunchbreak. Amazing...I've been a Living Colour fan since I got a tape of the pre-Vivid demos before that album came out. OK so they're not running around like madman as of old, they've put on a few pounds and Corey Glover has dropped the Body Glove clothing (he looks like he's just stepped off the footplate of an old 'Casey Jones' locomotive), but it's a joy to see a live DVD. I just hope someone sees sense to put out the Primer and Time Tunnel videos on DVD. Doug Wimbush makes it look so damn easy. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muya Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 As a huge Living Colour fan I was waiting for Area 0 edition of this DVD. Now I just have to buy it. Any interesting feature in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 They're an awesome band, so much energy and focus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 In decades past I was employed by their label to be their freelance marketing consultant - this may explain why they never made it huge - stunning band. Always have been, always will be. Sigh. And they're not even paying me to say it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Living Colour fan here too, from Vivid. Somewhere, i have a VHS of them playing the Arezzo Wave gig in Italy from 1993, i think. I taped it at the time, when i lived in Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Didn't Muzz Skillings leave to be a fireman ? Saw them on the Vivid tour at Manchester Poly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) Muzz Skillings was going to be a fireman before Living Colour got signed - on the Primer video the band (well, Glover and Calhoun) were ripping the piss out of him about the possibility of turning up to gigs in his FDNY gear, or leaving mid-show because there was a fire somewhere. All I know now is that he's playing rhythm guitar for a functions band in New York. I preferred Muzzy over Doug to be honest. I only saw Living Colour a couple of times - this really saddens me as they were my favourite band for a long, long time - I did however catch the Doug Wimbush clinic at the Bass Centre when it was over in Wapping. I actually took my wife with me (who came on as reserve when the guy I was supposed to be going with dropped out at the last minute) - she loved it and said it couldn't have been more entertaining.

cockbongo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Muzz Skillings made me the bass player I am today - gawd bless those fast fingers and fills. Only saw them once (Glasgow Barrowlands on the Time's Up tour, what was that, 1991?) but what a show and what a player. Then I remember him popping up in some Michael Jackson video after he left LC and felt really bad for him.... I'd take Skillings over Wimbish every time.

muya Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) Finally got my copy! Arrived Saturday morning but it's the first free while I can enjoy it. They're great, that's all. I hope it's a headphones matter, but I'm feeling Doug's bass a little bit lost in the mix. Tomorrow I'll try to listen it pushing the plug earphones to my head 'till they don't touch each other Edited September 24, 2007 by muya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
