Tomorrow night I will be ded­ic­at­ing my Internet radio show Back By Midnight to high­light­ing the recent relase of the I Got the Feelin’: James Brown in the 60’s DVD Box Set. The 3‑disc set contains:

Disc 1:

The NIght James Brown Saved Boston, a won­der­ful doc­u­ment­ary about the events sur­round­ing the April 5, 1968 James Brown Boston Garden con­cert that kept the city from going up in flames. From dir­ect­or David Leaf, who is also repons­ible for The U.S. vs. John Lennon and Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin’ About Him?).

Disc 2:

James Brown: Live at the Boston Garden, 1968, the com­plete con­cert that was ori­gin­ally broad­cast on Boston’s WGBH. 

Disc 3:

An epis­ode of Man to Man: James Brown Live at the Apollo Theater 1968 that has­n’t been seen in 40 years. It also con­tains bonus per­fo­mances from 1967 and 1968 at the L’Olympia in Paris and the “Out of Sight” per­form­ance from The T.A.M.I. Show.

Guests will include David Leaf, T.A.M.I. Show dire­tor Steve Binder, and the Dean of American Rock Criticism Robert Christgau.

The show begins @ 9:00pm ET/8:00pm CT. (The show will be archived on the Back By Midnight page after the broad­cast.) I do hope you will check it out.

Here’s a little some­thing to get you in the mood.
