Director
On Moscow, the Keith Emerson Band includes ace session guitarist, vocalist, and composer Marc Bonilla (who's toured before with Toy Matinee), bassist Travis Davis, and drummer Tony Pia, who, while currently a member of the Doobie Brothers, has also played with Edgar Winter and Brain Setzer. The program features numerous Emerson, Lake & Palmer nuggets (including a 35-plus-minute "Tarkus"), some brief Emerson originals (film cues from his soundtrack work), a pair of Bonilla pieces, and two co-writes between Bonilla and Emerson. Filmed August, 2008, at Central House of Cinema, Russia.
Sound
Classic rockers Manfred Mann's Earth Band delivers the goods in this live concert filmed in Moscow in 2000, featuring many of the group's hits such as "The Mighty Quinn," "Blinded by the Light" and "Father of Day, Father of Night." Mann and company prove they still have the chops on other tunes, including "Angels at My Gate," "Davy's on the Road Again," "Demolition Man," "Castles Burning," "Martha's Madman," "Redemption Song" and more.
