This review is from: Crack the Sky: All Access (DVD)

This was my first DVD concert, and what a performance! I've admired this band since the mid-70's, and didn't realize they were still around after all these years. The band's musicianship is still razor-sharp, and it was so nice to see that guitarist Rick Witkowski is as vibrant and animated as ever,in addition to being a superb musician. CTS demonstrated its musical prowess by a few extended instrumental breaks, like they showed on live albums in the past; they haven't lost a step. The video portion of the DVD was quite well done, and the extended interview after the two shows was a very interesting and enlightening bonus; it was heartening to see that these guys, despite being together for so long, still actually like each other, a quality that's sadly lacking in so many bands today. This DVD deserves another 2 stars, IT'S THAT GOOD!!

In 1975 Rolling Stone Magazine named CTS the Best Debut Album of the Year. What followed was a series of snafu's not unusual for the music industry at that time. As a result, Crack the Sky is the best band you've never heard!
Despite a lack of commercial success; and in spite of numerous personnel changes, the songs kept coming. The band personnel is now nearly identical to its original lineup and the chops are better than ever!
A great collection of songs from a band that seems, after thirty-some years, to be establishing for itself a more lofty paradigm. Highly recommended*****
