Features: DVD
The Creation were undoubtedly one of the most under appreciated bands to emerge from the UK during the 1960s, but their legend has grown with time and Red With Purple Flashes is the first ever DVD to feature the band. Focusing on their 1990s reformation, the DVD captures the band as they are due to play their first gigs in almost thirty years, at Londons Mean Fiddler venue. Interviews with the original band members show the great pride they have in their music and their legacy. We are then treated to the comeback gig itself and also another live show from 1995 at the same venue. Amongst the tracks featured are the classic Painter Man and Making Time.
Editor's Note
When The Creation split up after a career starved of success and recognition, the group members no doubt expected to fade slowly into obscurity. However, interest in the band was piqued when record industry entrepreneur Alan McGee formed a fledgling record label and named it "Creation" after the band. As the label gained success and notoriety, so did interest in the group that gave Creation its name. In the 1990s the band reformed for a series of shows, and with their popularity scaling heights never previously thought possible, they completed a highly successful tour. This release offers a show from the Mean Fiddler in London, as well as interviews from the rightly venerated and overjoyed band members.
