2 DVDs + audio CD of the band at the famous Rockpalast in Bonn, Germany during their European tour of 2004. Includes TONS of bonus footage and materials!
This DVD was recorded at the famous Rockpalast in Bonn, Germany during their European tour of 2004. The line-up features the original group's two core members, drummer Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert on bass. Teddy Rondinell plays guitar, with Bill Pasrali on keyboards. The set features a mix of favorites from their Sixties repertoire such as 'People Get Ready', 'She's Not There' and 'You Keep Me Hangin' On', as well as a distinctive interpretation of Rod Stewart's hit 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?'
As well as being one of the best selling album rock acts of the late Sixties, Vanilla Fudge was also one of its most influential. Acknowledged as being pioneers of heavy metal, they inspired groups like Deep Purple. Vanilla Fudge's trademark stoned-sounding and dramatically slowed down treatments of well-known pop songs, embellished with piercing organ sounds and mock gospel harmonies, were unique at the time and endeared them to the hip psychedelic fraternity. Their best known track, a dramatic reworking of The Supremes' 'You Keep Me Hangin' On', gave them a major hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
Bonus Materials:
--Vintage Footage: The original band perform two of their biggest hits 'Shotgun' and 'You Keep Me Hanging On,' filmed in 1969 and 1967 respectively.
--Behind The Scenes: A documentary filmed during their 2004 European Tour. After a brief look around their luxury tour bus, the group are seen preparing and rehearsing for the concert. They are then seen in the informal surroundings of a restaurant.

--Discography.
--Interviews: In two revealing interviews Carmine and Tim talk about Vanilla Fudge's formation and early days, life in the Sixties, their careers after the band broke up - including their days with Jeff Beck in the power supergroup Beck, Bogert & Appice. --Audio CD
Psych-rock stalwarts Vanilla Fudge storm the Rockpalast in this 2004 concert film, taking fans back a few decades with songs such as "People Get Ready" and "She's Not There. With two original members anchoring the lineup -- drummer Carmine Appice and bassist Tim Bogert -- the band still knows how to turn famous pop tunes on their head; here they offer a twisted version of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think Im Sexy," as well as their famous re-interpretation of The Supreme's "You Keep Me Hangin' On"

Vanilla Fudge was one of the few American links between psychedelia and what soon became heavy metal. While the band did record original material, they were best known for their loud, heavy, slowed-down arrangements of contemporary pop songs, blowing them up to epic proportions and bathing them in a trippy, distorted haze. Originally, Vanilla Fudge was a blue-eyed soul cover band called the Electric Pigeons, who formed on Long Island, NY, in 1965. Organist Mark Stein, bassist Tim Bogert, and drummer Joey Brennan soon shortened their name to the Pigeons and added guitarist Vince Martell. They built a following by gigging extensively up and down the East Coast, and earned extra money by providing freelance in-concert backing for girl groups. In early 1966, the group recorded a set of eight demos that were released several years later as While the Whole World Was Eating Vanilla Fudge, credited to Mark Stein & the Pigeons.
Inspired by the Vagrants, another band on the club circuit led by future Mountain guitarist Leslie West, the Pigeons began to put more effort into reimagining the arrangements of their cover songs. They got so elaborate that by the end of the year, drummer Brennan was replaced by the more technically skilled Carmine Appice. In early 1967, their manager convinced producer George "Shadow" Morton (who'd handled the girl group the Shangri-Las and had since moved into protest folk) to catch their live act. Impressed by their heavy, hard rocking recasting of the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On," Morton offered to record the song as a single; the results landed the group a deal with the Atlantic subsidiary Atco, which requested a name change. The band settled on Vanilla Fudge, after a favorite ice cream flavor. "You Keep Me Hangin' On" didn't perform as well as hoped, but the band toured extensively behind its covers-heavy, jam-oriented debut album Vanilla Fudge, which gradually expanded their fan base. Things started to pick up for the band in 1968: early in the year, they headlined the Fillmore West with the Steve Miller Band, performed "You Keep Me Hangin' On" on The Ed Sullivan Show, and released their second album, The Beat Goes On. Despite its somewhat arty, indulgent qualities, the LP was a hit, climbing into the Top 20. That summer, Atco reissued "You Keep Me Hangin' On," and the second time around it climbed into the Top Ten. It was followed by Renaissance, one of Vanilla Fudge's best albums, which also hit the Top 20. The band supported it by touring with Jimi Hendrix, opening several dates on Cream's farewell tour, and late in the year touring again with the fledgling Led Zeppelin as their opening act.
In 1969, the band kept touring and released their first album without Morton, the expansive, symphonic-tinged Near the Beginning. After part of the band recorded a radio commercial with guitarist Jeff Beck, the idea was hatched to form a Cream-styled power trio with plenty of individual solo spotlights. Exhausted by the constant touring, the band decided that their late-1969 European tour would be their last. Following the release of their final album, Rock & Roll, Vanilla Fudge played a few U.S. farewell dates and disbanded in early 1970. Bogert and Appice first formed the hard rock group Cactus, then later joined up with Jeff Beck in the aptly named Beck, Bogert & Appice. Appice went on to become an active session and touring musician, working with a variety of rock and hard rock artists. Vanilla Fudge reunited in 1984 for the poorly received Mystery album, and have since reunited several more times, though only for tours. Their most recent incarnation features keyboardist Bill Pascali in place of Mark Stein.
