Beware; Excerpts.......2006-12-05
THE HIGHLIGHTS DISC OF THE ORIGINAL LONDON PRODUCTION.......2005-09-17
Following the suit of the Superstar, ALW and Tim Rice first published Evita as an album, which appeared in 1976. It was an instant success and soon afterwards the preparations began to put it on the stage. The veteran of the musical theatre direction, Hal Prince, accepted the offer to adapt the original album and Elaine Paige, then an unknown actress and musical theatre performer was cast in the role of Evita. The show premiered in London in 1978, winning acclaiming reviews and numerous awards. And yet, since the concept album was selling so well, the authors felt it unnecessary to release another full version of Evita, with the London cast. That is why we only have this highlights 53-minute recording of the original London production. The story of Evita is widely known, but for those who are new to this let's repeat the essentials: We follow the life story of Eva Duarte Peron, wife of post-World war two president of Argentina, Juan Peron. However, the musical is very loosely based on the actual life of the real Evita. The story follows Evita from the day of her death in July 1952, and then we have flashbacks until that moment, covering her coming to Buenos Aires, alleged love affairs, meeting Peron, being the first lady and dying of cancer at 33.
Being the first theatre version of the somewhat revised concept album material, this disc is not the best recording available. There are several drawbacks. First, it lacks a great part of the show, since all we have here are snippets, i.e., the main musical numbers, meaning it is a bit difficult to follow the story if you are a first-time listener, even though the booklet provides a basic story outline. One of the other obvious weaknesses is the minimalist orchestrations used on this recording. After the lush and epic sound of the concept album featuring the London philharmonics and a rock band, here we have the usual pit orchestra, consisting of only the basic instruments. Thus the beauty of the score remains somewhat lost and is only traceable in hints. The authors seem to be aware of it, since for the upcoming Broadway recording of the show, the orchestrations were improved and sounded clearer.
In addition, the cast performance here is also mixed. Although the role of Eva Peron raised Elaine Paige to stardom, I find her performance not the best, simply because her voice sounds too young. With time her vocal abilities matured, but here she just doesn't reach a much needed uncompromising determination of the character, the way Patti LuPone did on Broadway or Julie Covington on the original album. That is not to say that Elaine performance here is altogether bad, but it could have been much better. David Essex, on the other hand, is a very good Che. He has the strong vocal power Colm Wilkonson and Antonio Banderas both demonstrated in their interpretation, which leaves one wondering why was Mandy Patinkin cast in the role when the show was transferred to Broadway, since he had a very light and unpleasant voice. Joss Ackland, an esteemed British actor is a well chosen Peron, with a suitable dark note in his performance.
The CD comes with a couple of the production photos, but no lyrics are included.
For those of you who are getting acquainted with the story of Eva Peron for the first time I must point out: Bear in mind that this musical is only loosely based on the life of the real Evita. As much as Tim Rice's lyrics are craftily made, they lack a lot of historical accuracy. As a historian I became very interested in Eva Peron's life story so I did some research after seeing the movie. It turned out that the authors based their entire work on a single book called EVITA: THE WOMAN WITH A WHIP by Mary Main. It was based on rumors, lies and myths, written with the single purpose of slandering Eva Peron as much as possible. It contains no footnotes and no bibliography. The authors used it mainly because it was one of the few books available on the subject in the English language during the 70-is. So one should be very careful in making any conclusions based on the musical or the movie alone.
So this disk is more of a welcomed addition for the collectors of the Evita cast recordings, rather than a first-choice album for the new listeners. The latter should get one of the three available 2-CD albums: the 1976 concept recording with Julie Covington, the 1979 Broadway cast with the best Evita of them all, the Tony-winning Patti LuPone, or the very good 1996 movie soundtrack with Madonna in the lead. They all have the complete score and are much more satisfying than this highlights album.
Not the Original Broadway Cast, but not bad.......2005-08-17
Misleading CD cover.......2005-05-07
MISSING SO MANY GOOD SONGS.......2004-07-11
*THEY SHOULD OF ADDED 'RAINBOR TOUR' I LOVE THAT SONG
*BUENOS AIRES SHOULD OF BEEN LONGER
*A NEW ARGETINA SHOULD OF BEEN LONGER
*THEY SHOULD OF ADDED 'DICE ARE ROLLING" ANYTHING THAT HAS THE 'A NEW ARGETINA' MUSIC I JUST LOVE.
*THE COVER LOOKS TOO OLD. IF THEY WERE GONNA PUT IT ON A CD, THEY SHOULD OF MADE A NEW LOOK OR COVER.
*IT SHOULD OF HAD 23 SONGS INSTEAD OF 15
THERE ARE A LOT MORE REASONS WHY THIS CD WAS DREADFULL BUT I DON'T WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME. I SAY BUY THE ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST WITH THE EXELLENT PATTIE LuPONE. WHO CARES ABOUT THAT ESSEX GUY.

Rising from the Manhattan club scene that gave birth to the Strokes and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, White Light Motorcade embraces the same `60s garage and '70s punk ethos worshipped by those bands. While they obviously took part of their name from a Velvet Underground classic ("My Way" kicks off an awful lot like one of Lou Reed's earliest tunes, or at least a Strokes track), White Light Motorcade seem less the one-trick pony many of their peers. There's an almost U2-worthy anthemic quality to a great many of the 12 tracks on the band's debut. The boys also borrow heavily from '70s glam-rock and '90s Britpop, making their sound all that more palatable and complex. "Open Your Eyes," the opening track, wouldn't sound out at all of place on Oasis's earlier albums. And the terrific "It's Happening," after beginning a lot like the Vines' "Get Free," is centered by Mark Lewis's melodic guitar hook, producing a sound that Supergrass would be absolutely thrilled to reproduce. The band doesn't quite hit a home run when they take on two ballads, but when they rock, which is most of the time, this is about as good as post-millennium rock gets. --Bill HoldshipCustomer Reviews:

The best band you never heard of........2004-05-14
I picked up their EP "It's Happening" at the show that night, and bought this CD as soon as it was released. (Sorry, I'm just getting around to writing this now.) It did not disappoint. These guys just exhude attitude, grit, and plain ol' balls out rock and roll. They have all the attitude of the current garage movement and more, but display it with more energy than any of the other ones I've heard. Better than the Strokes, White Stripes, Vines, all of them.

Superior NWOBHM album.......2005-10-20
Most of the songs on this album came from Before the Storm, which is hard to find on cd, and Don't Get Mad Get Even, which is not available on cd. So this live album is the best chance to get these songs on cd. Before the Storm in particular is an awesome album--it's the best Samson album and an absolutely essential classic for any collector of NWOBHM. I have it on cd from Molten Metal USA, and I highly recommend getting it if you can. But especially if you can't get Before the Storm, you should definitely have this live cd if you consider yourself a fan of NWOBHM. It's good stuff. The sound quality is top notch, all the songs are excellent, the performances are outstanding, and Samson's guitar sounds great. It gives a great sampling of Samson from the Nicky Moore era, which is the best Samson, in my opinion. Even fans who prefer earlier Samson should enjoy this album. But I'm biased--because I can't imagine how any fan of classic rock could not like it.
Samson live...with Nicky Moore....great :-(.......2005-09-21
I've stated before, Nicky Moore isn't a very good vocalist. His bluesy style vocals clash with Samson's original NWOBHM sound. Not only is he a lousy vocalist, he's terrible with the crowd. All he says is "this is an old one" and "thank you and good night". What's with playing with and talking to the crowd? He's says minimal and does not know how to play the crowd at all.
Another problem is the tracklisting. Of course most of the material is from the Nicky Moore vocal albums Before the Storm and Don't Stay Mad - Get Even. Though I never considered any of Samson's albums considerably strong, but those two are easily the weaker of Samson's outputs. There is only one song off of the bands debut Survivors and second album Head On. What's shocking is that there is not one song off of the bands most successful album Shock Waves! I don't know, but maybe it's a good thing cause Nicky Moore could murder those classic Bruce Dickinson Samson songs like Riding with the Angels.
The production itself isn't overly strong. The guitars sound good and everything, but the vocal works is a little weak as they sound hallow and distant. Well with Nicky Moore, maybe that isn't such a bad thing.
One the upside, Paul Samson's guitar playing is fantastic. He hits every mark perfectly. Great picking and great solos. This man really was a god in the guitar world. It's a shame he never got the recognition he deserved.
Overall I have to say this is a below average live album. Other than some good guitar playing, there is nothing really special on this release. It lacks classic Samson songs and vocalist Nicky Moore is boring. I would only recommend this live album to Samson collectors or fans of the Nicky Moore Samson albums, if there are any...
