WCR: Randy Meisner, Denny Laine, Spencer Davis, Bruce Gary & more - Director: Chip Miller

This ENHANCED audio transfer is "The World Classic Rockers: Live." These are excerpts and highlights of a true super group in concert, directed and shot by award-winning filmmaker, Chip Miller. This version has band name ID and song text. The concert was produced and edited by Travis Miller for Red Hots Entertainment, in association with Desert C.A.M. Studios out of Burbank and Palm Desert, CA. Filmed with multi-cameras at the historic Ventura Theatre in Ventura CA, this amazing once in a lifetime band features original members from classic bands: the late Randy Meisner of The Eagles; the late Denny Laine of The Moody Blues/co-founder of Paul McCartney's Wings; the late Spencer Davis of The Spencer Davis Group (when Stevie Winwood was his lead singer); Michael Monarch, lead guitarist for Janis Joplin's Big Brother & Holding Company and later co-founded Steppenwolf; Nick St. Nicholas, a guitarist/vocalist for Steppenwolf; the late Fergie Frederiksen of Toto; the late Bruce Gary, drummer for The Knack; Kurt Griffey of The Lone Wolf Band; Steve Stewart of The Mother Lovers; and Gospel star, Rosilee. The original 2-hour plus concert featured 14 classic hits all shown here as excerpts. "As the director, and a musician myself, it was a blast to be working on one great classic song after the other, as well as an honor to be working with these greats," mused director Chip Miller. DP Bryan Greenberg was Main Camera Operator and Miller provided additional handheld camera with Cameron Cannon.

Seems like every time I see Randy playing anything outside of the Eagles he looks so much happier.

[@ChipMiller]

The Eagles was a band of clashig talents and egos, and Randy was the most down to earth guy with absolutely no ego at all.

[@joe-nf7cf]

Yeah, being away from Henley and Frey is one of life's greatest pleasures!

[@carolspencer1644]

Randy Meisner's song, Take It To The Limit, is one of the greatest songs ever. And, one of my favorites also. When he would hit those high notes it would send shivers down my spine. Absolutely amazing!!! 🎶 RIP RANDY 🕊️❤🕊️

[@357HFC]

Totally agree. Loved the live version we can still view. Would loved to have seen this, sounded as good as ever.

@@carolspencer1644 Poco way better

[@winnykooyman4851]

Randy played with many famous bands and musicians!!! So nice to see. Didn't know he knew so many of them. I think he liked that very much, he seems so happy and relaxed!! Many musicians liked him too, he was so popuar! He was famous all over!.RIP Randy ❤from Winny ❤

[@nageeb96]

rocking Randy Meisner RIP

[@winnykooyman4851]

Randy has so much experience with many musicians, maybe it was even better to play than with always the same band.

[@shaykatz5648]

Ok I listened to this at 1st because saw Randy Meisner's name as Take It To The Limit is a fav Eagles song....but all songs/artist are pretty darn outstandingly great!

[@shaykatz5648]

Ok back again & finding this an even more amazing group of real classic rockers. Very enjoyable

[@angelamaier-yq6ql]

I also watched because Randy Meisner was singing, he’s my all time favourite ❤️ , they were all very good

[@junebug7363]

Amazing video showing the best of the best thank you so much for the share❤❤❤❤❤❤

​@shaykatz5648 the wimpy boys

[@sandrawarren5303]

Wish in Tribute to Randy you’d publish him singing all the way through!

[@ChipMiller]

The concert is still on master broadcast tapes and needs to be digitized first. It's a 2-hour concert so the transfer would cost about $7500 to $10,000. We have a lot of our work pre-1995 still only on 1" master tapes in our archive.

[@Pashasmom1]

They didn't even mention Randy's passing at their website, which is really crappy.

[@ChipMiller]

I'd have to agree with that sentiment. @@Pashasmom1

[@junebug7363]

[@charlesthompson2575]

A lot of great talent on that stage ! Thx !

Great talents from the past, we were so lucky.

[@davidfritz9385]

I would go see this concert, this is great.

[@Pashasmom1]

They only do private gigs.

[@tattoo62]

I also watched this because i saw randy was singing.. the rest r just fine but randy is all i wanted to see. But there all just fine !!! I know someone is going to take what i said wrong

[@ChipMiller]

Randy is a terrific singer and one hell of a nice guy. Chip

[@tattoo62]

Randy didnt get the spot light like he should of but thats the way he wanted it from what i heard.. but he is awesome !!

[@ChipMiller]

@@tattoo62 He is a humble and sweet man who likes being part of a band.

[@sandrawarren5303]

I just wish they would let us see Randy singing all the way through his songs in a tribute to him RIP dear one! 😥🎸📀

[@ChipMiller]

@@sandrawarren5303 Well that footage exists as does the full concert, but this was a preview spot.

[@emmaanderson4196]

Wow, what a legend!

[@janehuffman5941]

God this is great!! A flashback of my youth.

[@patbrennan6572]

Denny Lane was a perfect for Mr McCartney.

[@marcospaduabarros135]

Wow!! What talented people together!!! Thank you guys very, very much!!

[@ChipMiller]

Sadly five have passed away, Kirk K. from Toto; drummer Bruce Gary from The Knack; Spencer Davis of The Spencer Davis Band; Denny Laine of Wings and The Moody Blues; and very recently, Randy Meisner of The Eagles. R.I.P. to all of these greats I had the honor of working with.

[@realeneferrari4177]

Awesome great band

[@ronniek7748]

I really dig this band. Tempo was rushed in spots but overall, great.

[@marcospaduabarros135]

wow!!!

[@sandrawarren5303]

Wow amazing!

[@jimshepard8822]

Good stuff

[@357HFC]

What a show! What a night. Is the whole show available to view?

[@ChipMiller]

Unfortunately, it all remains unedited as the group's producers ran out of funds. The whole concert exists but needs editing and post-production which runs about $15K or so. Also several of the stars have passed away, which means re-negotiating with their estates, which can be complex and expensive. We pulled together enough footage to create these promotional trailers to enjoy. Thanks for asking. Happy holidays, Chip (director/editor)

[@michaelkavooras7664]

@@ChipMillersorry to hear about that :( hopefully eventually!

[@georgemardini218]

What year was this?

[@ChipMiller]

1998.

[@dadduorp]

When was this? Judging by the clothes and hairstyles I’m guessing early 90’s?
