Remember Otis Redding with new live DVD

Continuing the half-centennial celebration of its own indelible influence, Memphis-based Stax Records has announced the Sept. 18 DVD release of Dreams to Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding, which features 16 full-length television performances, never-before-seen photos from the Redding family and a new video for “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay.”

According to the folks at Stax, “In the case of lip-sync performances, the original Stax master recordings have been used, replacing the original TV broadcast audio and making for a much more enjoyable viewing and listening experience.” Fascinating touch. Notably, none of the Otis Redding live clips on YouTube seem to be lip-synched, including this cover of "(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction," included on Dreams to Remember. "This song is going out for Mick Jagger,” Otis says, calling him “one of the best fellows that I dig in the soul field."
