Live At The Roxy Theatre [Live]

Amazon.com
"Brian is Back!" It's taken decades, but that once sadly ironic press agent's epithet has finally come true. The intervening quarter-century may have devastated Brian Wilson's mind and body, and band and family, but, as this double-disc live recording/love-fest ably demonstrates, his soul and music burn on. Backed flawlessly by a 10-piece band (including L.A. pop revivalists the Wondermints) of fervent loyalists, Wilson and company march joyously through the Beach Boys' hits-laden catalog, from "Surfer Girl" through "Good Vibrations" to the cream of Pet Sounds, a handful of the legend's solo works, and a gratifying surprise or two (including a delicious, inside-out-ironic cover of Barenaked Ladies' laid-back "Brian Wilson" that segues hauntingly into the all-too-autobiographical "'Til I Die"). If cynics have chosen to deride Wilson's mature voice (as steady and expressive as it's been in decades) and general oddness (here revealed for what it often truly is: a playfully off-center sense of humor), they do so at the peril of ignoring his vast contributions and continuing influence--and the spark of undimmed genius that still holds so much promise. Make no mistake, this show was not about nostalgia, but rather a celebration of music whose performances sound completely in the moment. Previously available only as a Wilson Web site exclusive, this expanded edition includes an audio interview with Brian at the piano, as well as two bonus tracks--"Sloop John B" and the rousing encore sing-along "Barbara Ann"--that help further underscore a hopeful notion: Brian is really back. --Jerry McCulley

AN EXCEPTIONAL LIVE PERFORMANCE.....................2007-01-23

This cd set rocks, Brian with his Wondermints are exceptional. The Wondermints are a L.a. group of super musicians who have an interest and love for Brian Wilson and The Beach Boy sound. The Wondermints performance shows their love for Brians musical sound. Brians performance is incredible and his voice although older, sounds really nice. Brians head and performance are really into this Roxy show, I believe this due, to the smaller area this concert was performed in, not like a giant stadium or arena, were concert sound seems to get washed out. Listening to this two cd set, I was really surprised how good this concert sounded. The interview with Brian, the last track of cd two, was really nice. All the Pet Sounds instrumentals were performed as close to the Pet Sounds album as the Wondermints could possibly perform. The perfomances of the early Beach Boys music was a treat to listen to. Brian really wanted to relive his lost youth with this concert and of course pay tribute to his deceased brother Carl with the song dedication "Lay Down Burden". All and all this "Live At The Roxy" is a well worth listen, especially the import edition it has four extra songs including Brians interview. BRIAN YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!

Nice Live Album.......2005-12-02

Even though Brian Wilson's voice has changed a bit since the heydey of the Beach Boys in the sixties, he still delivers some nice versions of the old songs, and has an easy going manner with the audience.
I love the song "Love and Mercy", and I'm glad he included it in this concert!

For any one who loves Beach boys Music.......2005-08-03

This is a great CD, Brian Wilson is at his best! A great concert! The people that back Brian sound as good if not
better then the Beach Boys!

Brilliant live set from a living genius........2005-03-16

Much to the surprise of everyone, Brian Wilson began touring in the late '90s, and his shows became everything the Beach Boys were not-- a celebration not of surf and cars and fun in the summer, but of genius, digging below the hits and unearthing many gems. Backed by a supportive and brilliant band, the music on these two CDs, taken from two nights at the Roxy in Los Angeles, is brilliant.

The credit largely goes to Brian's band, the core of which is the L.A. pop band the Wondermints-- a superb group of musicians, and former Beach Boys touring bandmember Jeffrey Foskett, who largely sings Brian's falsettos. Brian's vocal range has contracted a bit over the years, and the vocal arrangements are structured for him to sing all the leads. While his voice is weak and occasionally goes off key or misses notes, its still got enough of that magic to carry itself.

The set is amazing-- from the opener, bizarre 1965 single "The Little Girl I Once Knew", the energy level is high, the performance is filled with obscure gems such "This Whole World", "Kiss Me Baby", "Please Let Me Wonder" and "'Til I Die" (the latter is a powerful and moving rendition), hits ("California Girls", "I Get Around", "God Only Knows", "Good Vibrations"), a couple "Pet Sounds" instrumentals, and a pair of new songs.

Now mind you, Brian's sort of odd mannerisms, accentuated moreso during these early shows, are there, but they're easy enough to ignore, and really, the performance is top notch. This is very highly recommended for any Beach Boys fan.

An introduction to Brian Wilson.......2004-10-22

I am not a traditional Beach Boys fan at all. I won tickets to see Paul Simon in concert. Although I am a Paul Simon fan, my wife and I were surprised when we heard that Brian Wilson was the "back up" band. I thought to myself, we should check the Brian Wilson set out. He should have been the "headliner"...as much as I like Paul Simon, the concert highlight was Brian Wilson and his band. I immediately became a fan and bought this cd release. The cd has a nice mix of songs and the band and Brian Wilson put on a good show. He even makes a little fun of his own personal past "lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did"...

Punk Rock History Lesson.......2007-01-15

Though much concert documentation has been made of early punk groups such as The Ramones or the Sex Pistols, lesser known groups have not had their live material unearthed in official form. Wire is one of the most important punk/post punk groups from the time but has been reticient to release live recordings until recently ("Wire on the Box:1979"). By 1979, Wire were clearly in the post punk camp. It is fascinating to hear them progress to this stage live. The first disc includes two full concerts from 1977 from the Roxy where Wire are clearly still in the traditional punk phase (including the unreleased Ramones take off "Mary is a D---") but with later traits to come (classic songs such as "Strange" come off well). The sound quality is reasonable for a recording of this nature. The 2nd disc (I had heard about the concert from a friend who was in the scene at the time, great to hear it live)is from CBGB's from 1978 and unfortunately, the sound recording takes a nose dive in quality, which is a shame because by this time Wire had fully evolved into the band it would become (highlights include "I am the Fly"). However, in releasing the full concerts, instead of the usual greatest hits live or tampering with the sound, Wire has done the listening public a favor. This is assuredly the way they sounded live but is furthest from nostalgia (Wire still record and perform) but rather a blueprint for future bands who decided to take their sound from the sonic minimalism of punk and into something more sophisticated and essential.

For the aficionados only.......2007-01-11

This is a collection of three Wire performances, two at the Roxy in London and one at the CBGB Theatre in New Work. Ultimately I found this release very disappointing, especially considering its high price and the terrible sound quality of the CBGB performance.

On the first disc are two sets recorded at The Roxy in London, recorded some time before the release of their debut album, Pink Flag. They feature identical setlists and were performed to an almost empty room, so there is little audience interaction. The liner notes reveal that these recordings do have some historical value, however, as they were instrumental in getting the band signed to EMI.

On the second disc there is a short set they performed at the legendary CBGB Theatre in New York, featuring material from their first two albums. This performance was recorded by a radio station, but very badly! The sound quality is just awful, making me seriously regret my purchase.

Live at the Roxy (import).......2002-03-21

"live at the roxy" is a great compulation of Brian's work. This import CD is also distributed in Europe. I got both, the US and the European version(with the extra tracks) If you already have the domestic version don't spent another 50 bucks. You better save it for a live concert of Brian and the wondermints. His PETSOUNDS tour beats this CD by far!!!

Product Description

Mike Einziger says: "Time Lapse Consortium is an idea that had been swirling around in my brain for quite some time. For years I've been fascinated by the great bandleaders and arrangers of the 50's and 60's. People such as Quincy Jones, Esquivel, Sergio Mendes, etc.... With all of those instruments, it's like being able to paint a picture with many different colors. It's a very different experience from writing music for a standard rock and roll setup. I teamed up with my longtime musical buddy Suzie Katayama, who wrote the beautiful string and wind arrangements on Aqueous Transmission, as well as other songs on the Morning View album. As well as Jose, Ben Kenney, and Neal Evans (who is probably the most talented organ player I've ever seen.) With only three days of rehearsal, and a genuine excitement in the air, we did a performance at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, CA on January 24, 2003. The show was one of the best musical experiences I've ever had." Tracks: Grimace, Cholula, Come Back Boomerang, Flapjack, TCB'N, I Done Already Been Up In There, A Certain Shade of Green, Patrollin', Mai Tai, and Tres Puntos.

An Incubus fans dream!!.......2006-07-03

If you did not know it already this is basically incubus without Brandon Boyd (lead singer of Incubus). This is a live show of songs written by Mike Einziger (lead guitarist of Incubus)and in addition to Brandon not being there, Alex Katunich (bassist of Incubus) is replaced by Ben Kenney (former lead guitarist of The Roots). The concert is actually an audition for Ben to see if he was a good fit for incubus which is now known that he is.

Now for the review. This cd is great if you like the Halo soundtrack stuff that incubus did. kind of a jam band feeling with it. If you do not like that then this is not the cd for you. Only one song has lyrics to it and that is when Brandon comes for a suprise visit to sing on an incubus song. They play "A Certain Shade of Green," which is the highlight of the cd. It is not the normal version at all. If you have heard Incubus's live acoustic cd which is only available on the internet it is like that version of the song but with electric guitar.

If you are like me when I was looking for this cd, which I was only looking for a cd that could keep me busy until the next official Incubus cd came out, then it is perfect. it is good solid music that wont change the world but it's very entertaining.

If you are not looking for a cd the way I was and you havent heard of Incubus then I suggest getting their cds first. My personal favorite is Morning view. If you have heard of Incubus, which I am betting you have, and you dont like their music then i still suggest you get this album because it is not like their music at all. It is just good intrumental music.

If you cannot find this cd anywhere then you can get it over the internet and if you are looking for more incubus and dont have the acoustic cd i also suggest you get that.

Get it how ever you can .......2004-12-24

I think the only issued 10,000 copies and I know there are more incubus fans than that. It is a must own for any one who enjoys listening to Mikey make love to his guitar. The only way the music on this CD could have been any better, is if you were one of the lucky ones at the roxy when the recorded it. To bad I wasn't

WoW Incubus is gnar.......2004-11-08

I am so stoked to finally have found this. It is an incredable album and one that is needed by anyone who says they are a fan of Incubus.
