(antiMusic) Chic Live At The Budokan DVD will hit stores on September 30th from MVD. Here is what they had to say about it:Between 1977 and 1980 Chic produced some of the most successful and memorable music of the disco era. Their sublime blend of soul, funk and disco took a genre not best remembered for musical innovation and longevity to new heights.
This DVD, recorded in April 1996 at Tokyo's famed Budokan Stadium, was destined to be the group's last performance, since sadly Bernard Edwards died shortly afterwards. The group is joined by Sister Sledge for stellar performances of that group's two biggest hits, "He's The Greatest Dancer" and "We Are Family", both of which were written and produced by Rodgers and Edwards. Guns 'n' Roses guitarist Slash makes a guest appearance and solos on 'Le Freak'.
Boasting top quality sound quality, the concert features superb, extended versions of their greatest hits, including "Le Freak", "Dance, Dance, Dance", "I Want Your Love" and "Good Times".
Bonus Materials:
* Biographies Of Chic, Sister Sledge and Slash
* Chic Discography
