brownie Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 Anybody know of commercially released videos showing full concerts by John Coltrane? A number of videos have appeared on DVDs but the ones I have seen show only parts of the concerts. The August 1, 1965 concert at Comblain la Tour in Belgium was filmed by Belgian TV. I have yet to see a full tape of the concert. Extracts of the concert show up on various DVDs. The John Coltrane concerts at the Juan-les-Pins festival (July 26 and 27, 1965) were also filmed by the French ORTF (Jean-Christophe Averty was the director). Not sure these came on DVDs. There's also a video of a concert (in Germany?) of the Coltrane quartet with Eric Dolphy. The music on all these is amazing. But all we get to see nowadays are extracts, not the full concerts. Very frustrating. Quote
