3-DISC DVD SET IN STORES AUGUST 2ND

LOS ANGELES, CA - The Dick Cavett Show, which was televised from 1969 to 1975, has long been a prime candidate for DVD release, but only Shout! Factory has been trusted to get it right. Working
closely with Mr. Cavett, Shout! Factory has put together a series of DVD releases which present his most important and entertaining episodes, with guests from the worlds of literature, art, politics, sports, comedy, theatre, film and music. The first Shout! Factory release, a three-disc boxed set, focuses on appearances from some of the most influential rock 'n' roll musicians of the time: David Bowie, David Crosby, George Harrison, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Ravi Shankar, Sly & The Family Stone, Steven Stills, Stevie Wonder and Gary Wright. Several of these performances and interviews have not been seen since they first aired over 30 years ago. With recently taped introductions and remembrances by Cavett, The Dick Cavett Show: Rock Icons will be available on August 2nd, for the suggested retail price of $39.98.

When Cavett joined the late night talk show parade in 1969, his intelligent wit pumped a needed breath of fresh air into the format. His show offered guests a forum for controversial opinions and didn't shy away from an occasional debate about women's liberation or the war in Vietnam. Cavett also gave the Woodstock generation a reason to stay up late. The Dick Cavett Show quickly became the late night home of rock 'n' roll, with a guest list that reads like a who's who of the era's top rock performers.

Unlike many of today's nighttime talk shows, Cavett invited his guests to remain on stage for the entire show, creating an atmosphere for discussion among the celebrities. As Newsweek commented at the time, "[Cavett] mixed guests like a chemistry professor." During The Dick Cavett Show, not only was the audience treated to a Janis Joplin performance of "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)" or "Get It While You Can," the viewer also witnessed the fascinating interactions between Joplin and Gloria Swanson or Raquel
Welch on the couch. Sly & The Family Stone performed their #1 hit "Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Again)," then sat on the couch with Debbie Reynolds. At other times, Cavett created more of a themed show, such as the episode featuring performances by Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, Steven Stills and David Crosby, taped just hours after the Woodstock Festival. Any way he mixed it, these episodes are rare and intriguing glimpses into rock 'n' roll history.
