Sweet Soul: Stax/Volt Revue — Live in Norway 1967
A new public television special captures venerated soul icons, including Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, and Booker T. and the MG’s, in concert, in their prime. Filmed April 7, 1967 in Oslo, Norway, Sweet Soul: Stax/Volt Revue — Live in Norway 1967 features live performance footage from the last leg of the Stax/Volt Revue’s European tour — a rare package tour of artists from the legendary record label. Performers include Otis Redding “Shake,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Fa–Fa–Fa–Fa–Fa (Sad Song),” “My Girl,” and “Try A Little Tenderness”, Sam and Dave (“Hold On! I’m Comin’,” “Soothe Me,” and “You Don’t Know Like I Know”), Booker T. and the MG’s (“Green Onions”), Arthur Conley (“Sweet Soul Music”), Eddie Floyd ( “Raise Your Hand”) and original Stax Records house band The Mar–Keys (“Philly Dog”). Re–transferred from the original master tapes that had been resting in the television vaults for 40 years, the special also features reflections from guitarist Steve Cropper, a founding member of Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar–Keys, and trumpeter Wayne Jackson of The Mar–Keys and The Memphis Horns about the legendary concert. Presented nationally by WLIW21 in association with WNET.ORG.
