Venice: Live in Hollywood - 1990
DVD Available Now at www.venicecentral.com
Back in March of 1990, Venice had just finished recording our major label debut album with the classic 7-member lineup that we now refer to as "The Magnificent Seven." This lineup featured longtime Venice legend and fan favorite Mark Harris on the bass, drummer Scott Crago, who later became a permanent touring and recording member of The Eagles, and keyboardist Monroe Jones, who is now a Grammy-winning record producer working out of Nashville. This was an era of longer hair and a bigger rock sound, but even then, we had our signature
harmonies. It was a golden time for us. We were selling out LA clubs like the Troubadour, the Roxy and the Whisky, and we were just starting to tour the US. We also played a few concerts at a music school in Hollywood, CA, which were filmed, recorded and attended by career-minded musicians (more "listeners" than "party-ers", hence their subdued response). Highlights from those shows make up this DVD. Because the masters were stored in a vault for 20 years, the video and audio quality isn't always up to the high standards we like to maintain on new releases. But despite the occasional hiss and crackle, it offers a rare glimpse back to an earlier era of the band. And it's a lot of fun. Yeah, so maybe the pants are a little high-waisted. It was hip at the time...
Enjoy!

Really? Can't imagine why they've done that...
Ringo was on his tour with the All starr band in 1990...
You should read the booklet of the album, I bet its just a real Lennon/Venice song :)

It was really cool seeing this video. I recently saw Kipp, Mark and Pat singing with Roger Waters on the Wall tour. They are singing better than ever. I will order my DVD today!

Hilarious to see them so young, and the long hair! Springchickens still. No way I would have recognized them if the sound had not been on. You know it's true what they say: men only get better looking with age!

My dad says that Ringo wrote this song with Charlie Watts.

Isn't this a Beatle song? Didn't Ringo write this one?
