Sweeping Up the Spotlight: Live at the Fillmore East 1969 features the definitive edition of Jefferson Airplane, icons of 1960s psychedelic rock and political agitation. Jack Casady and Spencer Dryden hold down the free-floating rhythms on bass and drums, Jorma Kaukonen launches feedback-laced guitar solos, and Paul Kantner adds rhythm guitar and backing vocals. Topping it all are the voices of Marty Balin and the '60s acid queen, Grace Slick. In concert, the Airplane were always more rough and ready than on their acid-hued vinyl. Outside the studio, they were ramshackle and punky, which is why they were sometimes referenced when talking about punk bands like X, who also had male and female lead singers. Despite having six albums under their belt, mostly consisting of original material, the Airplane's live set has a lot of mediocre blues and folk filler. Some of their more characteristic repertoire is sacrificed to workman-like renditions of "Uncle Sam Blues" and "Come Back Baby," albeit with some ripping Kaukonen guitar solos. Balin's raucous rant on "You Wear Your Dresses too Short" is embarrassing in its soul-singer aspirations. Assuming this was their set sequence, it takes a while for the Airplane to congeal on stage. They ride roughshod over much of their materiel, but pull it together two-thirds of the way through on one of their most complex tunes, "The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil." With its shifting time signatures and overlapping vocal lines and harmonies, it's a challenge to pull off live, but they do, with soaring vocals from Balin and Slick and a long instrumental jam with a fractured guitar solo from Kaukonen and a feature slot for bassist Casady, the most innovative and powerful bassist from that era. That paves the way for a darker version of "White Rabbit," the mock celebration of "Crown of Creation," and their show closer, a hyped rendition of Fred Neil's ballad "The Other Side of This Life." As they always did, the Jefferson Airplane land high. --John DilibertoCustomer Reviews:
True Flight.......2007-07-24
Not flying..........2007-07-24
It is obvious that Dryden (a very, very, really very good drummer) was not suitable for the band anymore. Subtelty was just vanishing and the band ended being just a monotonous band.
The cd jacket features one of the most beautiful band photos, taken at golden times, by the way. Jorma's liner notes do not say much.
Well, I do not recommend this, as you can guess.
(For those lookinf for Airplane live recordings, I recommend , of course, "Blessed Its Pointed Little Head", "Fillmore East 1968" and the concert at Monterey Pop Festival (in that order).
I liked this one.......2007-07-12
The Airplane's musical and technical genius is best reflected in their studio recordings. This is a very good live recording of an excellent sample of their music. If you think you don't have enough Jefferson Airplane records you can buy this one.
You know, it's possible to get better tunes for free, just look..........2007-07-11
"Casady, the most innovative and powerful bassist from that era"
Ha!
Hahaha!
You DO Know Jack.......2007-07-05
1) If you are a fan of Jack's, then you want this CD. He does a solo on Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil that is OFF THE FREAKING HOOK, my brothers and sisters. This solo--and Jack took way too few of them if you ask me-- feels like tectonic plates shifting. On the rest of the CD his playing absolutely ROARS as well. No one before or since has ever played bass like Jack. When Jorma joins in after the solo Jack even manages to feed on the energy and take it to still a higher level.
(Aside: To say the singing and harmonies are "uneven" is to be kind. Like so much of their live work, the vocal are just silly and indulgent.)
2) I really like how you can hear what Kantner was doing for a change. This must be a result of modern sound technology. It adds a dimension that we had to struggle to enjoy in the past and I am very glad they captured his work here.
Is it better than BIPLH? It's different. It's worth it if only for Jack's playing but there is so much more to enjoy too. Take care.

Winner of five Oscars (including two for Richard and Robert Sherman's memorable slate of songs), Disney's 1964 adaptation of British author P.L. Travers' beloved children's tales melded live action, animation and music more successfully than any film before or since. Containing the most complete version of the Sherman Brothers' score and a wealth of previously unavailable behind-the-scenes treasures, this double-disc, 40th anniversary soundtrack edition becomes the ultimate musical tribute to the beloved family masterpiece. The Sherman's memorable songs are showcased here in a more comprehensive musical context than ever before; indeed, a number of the expanded or previously unreleased pieces of the Irwin Kostal-arranged underscore now included were truncated in editing the film itself. The generous bonus disc contains the set's greatest historical treasure: a 40+ minute pre-production story meeting between the Shermans, gag writer Don DaGradi and author Travers herself. Also included is a lengthy 1964 audio documentary featuring the Shermans and stars Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, an audio montage of the songwriting team reminiscing and playing their original demos for the project and an illustrated 40-page companion booklet containing a history of the project as well as complete song lyrics. -- Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

A lot of the difference is that Keely faced a mike with working 50's and 60's orchestras with Billy May and Nelson Riddle charts whereas modern singers like McCorkle and Karrin Allyson have-if they're lucky- Concord Jazz bands, who mostly play bop jazz and other hophead stuff.

In 1972 it probably seemed like the year belonged to a blues-tinged wall-of-sound rock band--maybe Deep Purple, who recorded Made in Japan that year--but from an aesthetic vantage, the blues-rock mantle has to go Captain Beefheart. In 1972 producer Ted Templeman took the controls for a pair of stunning Beefheart diamonds (in the rough of course), The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot, both collected here in full on one CD. Beefheart's voice sounds rightly inimitable, growly and gruff and lyrically cryptic. For its part, the Magic Band is in top form as well, integrating marimba and an assortment of percussion into the slide guitar forestry. There's a distinct and good reason that the celebrated Beefheart box set of rarities is called Grow Fins: the tune, as it appears on this collection, is a classic terrain-defying testament of love as only Don Van Vliet (Beefheart) could provide, a surreal and funny little tune caught in a skein of rough-hewn music that's stood the test of time splendidly. --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:
Does it matter?.......2007-01-11
In the 21st Century I listen to RadioHead or Mark Sandman (see ya on the flip side) or Tom Waits and I can hear Van Vliet in all of them. He is the musician's musician because, to me, he dared to walk out into the void and embrace what he found there. I am happy to blabber and smoke in his company.
If you like Captain Beefheart's peculiar distillation of life you will love this album.
The Captain's One Successful Sellout.......2007-01-08
Spotlight features the Captain's greatest Magic Band, just finishing touring what was arguably his finest achievement: Lick My Decals Off Baby (still out of circulation!). However, the Captain in desperate pursuit of commercial success now pushed the band hard ever increasing the cult-like discipline. The result was a fairly monolithic trad-blues product. Actually any one of the cuts off the Spotlight album are pretty good, but taken altogether, it's rather a drag.
The Magic Band was pretty well fed up by this point. Drumbo and Rocket Morton took off, moving Art Tripp to drums and recruiting Oregon (former Mother, later Little Feet) to bass, as well as Elliot Ingber. Zoot Horn Rollo and producer Ted Templeton basically through Don out of the control booth.
Suddenly the possibility of merging the Captain's dada sensibility with a fairly rocking production emerged. There was room for the intensely beautiful Her Eyes are a Blue Million Miles with the outrageous fun of Big Eyed Beans from Venus and Golden Birdies. (Webcor, Webcor!)
That his subsequent sell-outs were so pitiful has more to do with the loss of the rest of his band (after discovering he had dissed them out of their tour money) than any loss of his prodigious talent. His three last classic albums proved that.
But for those sonic adventurers rightly attracted to the great Captain's underground adventures, don't forget to check out his one legitimate shot at FM play (even if the industry proved too ignorant to actually play this stuff). It's a qualified hoot.

anyway - you can't go wrong if you like rock, blues, or good guitar noise.

B.B. King is the most influential guitarist in the instrument's electric history. His string-bending, vibrato, and phrasing are the raw material that players as diverse as Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour have spun into their own epic solos. This CD draws on King's '60s efforts for the defunct Kent label, tapping rarely heard instrumental tracks to present a crash course in his unique fusion of country blues, the single-string soloing perfected by Lonnie Johnson, and the swinging phrasing of jazz guitar pioneers like Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt. Tunes like "Slidin' and Glidin'" and "Calypso Jazz" are tickets to blues heaven. --Ted DrozdowskiCustomer Reviews:

Customer Reviews:
an exquisite, unique voice.......2004-07-03
The velvety quality of his voice, with its hint of smokiness, is intoxicating, and one of my favorite attributes of a Matt Monro song is his flawless enunciation; other virtues are superb breath control and the sincerity of his delivery. He was able to convey deep emotion, and still keep his simple style of performing a song.
The compositions in this collection are fabulous, and include perfect renditions of many of my most loved melodies, like "Autumn Leaves", "Ebb Tide", "September Song", and one of the best soundtrack songs ever written and one that was sung by Monro in the film, the John Barry/Lionel Bart "From Russia With Love".
Other standout performances in this CD of mostly mellow ballads include "Time After Time" (Styne/Cahn), and "Laura" (Raskin/Mercer).
The foldout insert has some excellent liner notes by Joseph Laredo, giving a nice bio of Monro (1930-1985), from his birth and difficult youth in the East End of London, to his association with George Martin, and a rundown of what songs were to find their place on the charts, in the U.S. and Britain.
These recordings were made between 1961 and 1966, with most of the arrangements done by Johnnie Spence, who also conducts the orchestra, and are lovely and lush. The sound is good, and total playing time is 53'11.
I have always felt Monro was one of the most underrated singers of the 20th century, and I hope compilations like this will continue to find him new fans, and that his musical legacy will live on, for as long a people appreciate the beauty of an exquisite voice, and the artistry that was exemplified in Matt Monro.
I Thought That Was Sinatra!.......2003-01-28
These recordings are excellent renditions of the standards, plus a few songs I hadn't heard anywhere else. The sound quality is excellent. The liner notes have some biographical information about Matt Monro. There are some great ballroom dance songs to be found on here, and some beautiful ballads. What else do you really need to know?
Highly recommended.

Spotlight on Nancy Wilson: A Rich Treat.......2006-06-07
To fully appreciate the romance, the emotion, and the shine of this incredible collection of songs, I recommend you listen to it 1. with your one and only love, or 2. listen to it while in the company of your most affectionate feline, or 3. listen to it while eating your favorite chocolate...ignoring all guilt, of course. I was, if you'll pardon the expression, triply blessed, to be doing all three, when this arrived late on a Friday afternoon. You want sweet? Add all those elements to this music, these lyrics, performed by this woman, and the result was almost like being high on something that seemed it would never ever drop me off. It was so sweet, that it created a moment like those that many of these songs are about. That is the wonderful thing about this CD; listened to under the ideal circumstances, it will create such moments, while NW sings about them.
Every time I think I have picked out the songs that are my absolute favorites, I listen to the CD again, and another song expands in my mind, to fit whatever happens to be going on with me, at the moment...but without a doubt, the Mercer/Hampton song, "Midnight Sun," which I had never heard before, always stops me in my tracks, and stops the clock, with its dreamy descriptions, adding both shadows and gold leaf, like mixing an old Joseph Von Sternberg film,with Maxfield Parrish's golden brush. Such lines as, , Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice, warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace rising to a snowy height," and, Was there such a night, it's a thrill I still don't quite believe,
But after you were gone, there was still some stardust on my sleeve," complimented by the most subtle, minimalist and dreamy music, cannot, in my mind, be topped, as far as romantic songs are concerned.
The quality of the transference to CD is seamless, unlike a lot of CDs of older songs, like "I Want To Be Evil," by Eartha Kitt, or "The Very Best of Fairuz," by Fairuz, both of which I rate a 5, due to the flawless performances of the artists, and the strength of the songs they contain....but what a treat it is to listen to such rich, subtle, delicious music, and not be reminded, at any point, that it is not being sung to me directly. Most of the songs on this collection I have heard bits of, over the years, but never actually sat and listened to them, and now I am not at all sure of who I heard them sung by...but I can say with certainty that now that I have heard Nancy Wilson singing them, they belong to her. Her voice is rich, yet cool,but never cold, emotional, yet restrained. I now understand what it means to perform a song, not just sing it, as every song seems to come from her alone, not a lyricist and composer, and so it just connects with the listener, this one, anyway; I even feel that way about, "The Best Is Yet To Come," when in reality, things look pretty rough ahead, for the time being. She sings it with an excitement, sultriness and confidence, that is so contagious, I just wish the song was longer.Less ebullient songs, like "Little Girl Blue," are crystallizations of the low moments I can slide into with astounding ease...and she just nails it on the head. All the songs are rich and true and wonderful, and NW makes them all the more so. If you don't have this one, you should get it...and don't forget the chocolate!

We're gonna rock out........2005-06-28
Lovely.......2003-06-13
I've owned this disc for some time, and it gets regular play. Notable tracks are "Mr. Wilson," which is silly and fun and has some of the best lyrics ever, 'cause it's all about peace and love. My favorite track is the cover of "Wichita Lineman." What an awesome rendition of this song.
The optigan, though you'd think it might become tiresome, actually manages to carry this entire album through. The music itself is virtually indescribable, full of weird bleeps and bloops, and a healthy dose of fun and nonsense.
For me, this album has the feel of a dig in the backyard that uncovers a time capsule buried by some kid 30 years ago, complete with a tape of music he made alone in the basement. Every time I hear it, I feel like I'm listening to something that came from some other place and time, something that's incredibly personal. Maybe that's just me...
At any rate, if you're curious, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Be sure to check out "Hugs" and "Patio." Oh, and, of course, "Stop Touching Me." Hell, just listen to the whole thing and then go out and listen to everything else Rob Crow has done.
