This DVD contains 21 songs of melancholic bliss from these two young virtuosos. Recorded during thier final concert on their "Flamingo Flies North Tour" at Shibuya Club Quattro on June 6th, 2006 in the heart of Tokyo. Also included is a CD with 10 tracks of beautiful music for you to enjoy anywhere you go. If this is the first you have heard of the boys here is a short bio for you to peruse: Oceanlane are two best friends who first met in junior high in Tokyo, HAJIME(Vocalist/Guitarist) and Kay(Guitarist/Vocalist) formed OCEANLANE in April of 2002. The two wrote and played gigs although they hadn't yet found a committing bassist and a drummer. Their demo found it's way into the hands of Howling Bull and Polystar, the two labels who established a brand new sublabel, Handy Craft Recordings, where OCEANLANE signed a deal. A year later in June of 2003 was when they recorded their first album. In December they were chosen to open for THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS first Japanese tour. And then in January of 2004, they made an appearance on the VANS WARPED TOUR '04 WINTER. Soon after, their promo video was heavily aired over various music channels, making quite a buzz for their perfection in the songwriting/arrangement talents. And in February 2004, their debut full-length album "On My Way Back Home" was released. The sales skyrocketed, making a sensational chart action for a debuting band. They then opened for THE GET UP KIDS, and Sweden's LAST DAYS OF APRIL for their Japanese tours in April and in May 2004 respectively. Melody so touching it goes right to the core of one's heart, and vocalization so pure and clear that no other band can even come close to their outstandingly natural sound. An artist who certainly is entitled an being called an "artist" is born in Japan, well worth being heard all around the globe. Influences not only from Japan, not only from US, England, or Sweden-- Global is the mildest expression that describes their sound. OCEANLANE has got everything you look for in a band!

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - The Band - Mr Bogus The Band was a Canadian-American rock group, active from 1967 to 1976 and again from 1983 to 1999. (More) The Band was a Canadian-American rock group, active from 1967 to 1976 and again from 1983 to 1999. It mainly consisted of Canadians Robbie Robertson (guitar, piano); Richard Manuel (piano, harmonica, drums, saxophone, organ); Garth Hudson (organ, piano, clavinet, accordion, synthesizer, saxophone); Rick Danko (bass guitar, violin, trombone), and an American Levon Helm (drums, mandolin, guitar, bass guitar).
The members of the Band first worked together as The Hawks, the backing band of rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins from 1959 until 1963; they were also known as Levon and the Hawks. (In about 1966, they released a single on Ware Records under the name the Canadian Squires). Afterwards, Bob Dylan recruited the group for his 1965-1966 world tour. They also joined him on the informal recordings that later became The Basement Tapes.
Dubbed "The Band" by their record company (a name derived from how they were referred to during their tenure with Dylan), the group left Saugerties, New York to begin recording their own material. They recorded two of the most acclaimed albums of the late 1960s; their 1968 debut Music from Big Pink (featuring the single "The Weight") and 1969's The Band. They broke up in 1976, but reformed in 1983 without founding guitarist Robbie Robertson.
Although the Band was always more popular with music journalists and fellow musicians than with the general public, they have remained an admired and influential group. They have been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked them #50 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Meaning of song
The lyrics tell of the last days of the American Civil War and its aftermath. Confederate soldier Virgil Caine "serves on the Danville train," the main supply line into the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia is holding the line at the Siege of Petersburg. As part of the offensive campaign, Union Army General George Stoneman's forces "tore up the track again". The siege lasted from June 1864 to April 1865, when both Petersburg and Richmond fell, and Lee's troops were starving at the end ("We were hungry / Just barely alive"). Virgil relates and mourns the loss of his brother: "He was just eighteen, proud and brave / But a Yankee laid him in his grave." Virgil also tells of seeing Confederate General Robert E. Lee after the war, whose passage is called to his attention by his wife ("Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!") The General was famed for his care for his men after the war was over, but probably never visited Virgil's home state of Tennessee after the war.
Robertson claimed that he had the music to the song in his head but had no idea what it was to be about. "At some point [the concept] blurted out to me. Then I went and I did some research and I wrote the lyrics to the song." Robertson continued, "When I first went down South, I remember that a quite common expression would be, 'Well don't worry, the South's gonna rise again.' At one point when I heard it I thought it was kind of a funny statement and then I heard it another time and I was really touched by it. I thought, 'God, because I keep hearing this, there's pain here, there is a sadness here.' In Americana land, it's a kind of a beautiful sadness." (Less)
