ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 12/29/2007

Watching this concert is like being caught in a time warp, or at least an episode of the original Star Trek.

David: Scotty, beam me up! I’m caught in the flower-power 60s!
Scotty: Captain, we've lost main power. It'll be an hour before we can get the transporter back online!
David: That’s about all the Donovan I can take. Help!

Some artists produce music that is eternal and remains relevant and listenable as the years pass. Donovan does not fit into that category. His classic songs are products of their time and remain artifacts of the era. What seemed creative and interesting 40 years ago is now quaint.

Donovan Concert: Live In L.A. was recorded January 21, 2007 at the Kodiak Theatre in Hollywood. Proceeds from this DVD of the concert are being donated to the David Lynch Foundation for consciousness-based education and world peace. In short, the foundation establishes stress reduction transcendental meditation programs for inner city youth at risk. Good luck with that.
