George Thorogood makes some interesting comments in the brief interview included on this Blu-ray as a supplement, where he muses about needing to experience the "buzz" of energy from the audience whenever he walks into a room, as that is (according to him, anyway) the sign that his relevance as an artist is still alive and kicking. While Thorogood has had a long and successful career, he hasn't experienced a Top 10 single since the early nineties…

Years ago Russell and Dave Alvin, were tagged as the architects of what came to be known as "Americana" music, with their Merle Haggard tribute "Tulare Dust," the record which initiated the Americana charts in America, and remained number one for a year. Aztec Jazz moves Americana into a new realm. For over three decades and 28 album releases Tom Russell has continued to live up to his status as (re: Washington Post) "one of the greatest songwriters of our time."

Scandinavian prog is yet to receive its official history – if that’s possible, given the peninsula’s rock line being as straight as a fjord. And there’s no better example of that than this Danish band whose legend crossed the regional borders and who might have been the first people in the world to use the “W.W.W.” abbreviation as the title of their 1971′s album, one of the five represented here…

"These are fine and extroverted performances of some alternate instrumentations of familiar Bach concertos…The solo playing is remarkable, and Rohrig and Kaiser blend and contrast their sounds beautifully…Rudolf Innig makes a real case for the piece [G-minor S 1058] as a harpsichord concerto…[and] The E-major Violin Concerto…also sounds appropriately baroque in its texture…"

Dog Eat Dog, an American band originally from Bergen County, New Jersey, began in 1990 as part of the hardcore music scenes of New York City and New Jersey. With members now scattered through New Jersey, Washington D.C. and Europe, the band refers to themselves as being based out all three locations. Dog Eat Dog was one of the earliest bands to fuse hardcore and rap, a style that would later become commonplace. Dog Eat Dog has achieved commercial success with singles such as "No Fronts", "Expect The Unexpected" and "Who's The King" - all showcasing their blend of hardcore, rap and saxophone. Since their first album, the band's sound has evolved to incorporate elements of funk, ska and hip hop.

All new 2-DVD set, recorded live on August 11, 1998 at Star Lake Amphitheatre in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. The Star Lake 98 show was the 20th of summer to display the loose, experimental vibe of a tour that began in Europe and jumped to the United States enroute to the summer’s ending Lemonwheel festival. "Star Lake 98" is the only full video show available in the Archives from Phish's Summer 1998 tour. The 2-DVD set was created from archival VHS videotapes of the 3-camera lawn screen feed. The audio was mixed from multi-track masters in stereo PCM and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround (aspect Ratio 4:3, regions 1-6 NTSC) and clocks in at just about 2 hours and 50 minutes.
