This 1978 live album remains a serious contender for one of the best live rock albums ever etched, standing toe to toe with live classics from the Band, Allman Brothers, and the Who. Recorded during concerts in London and Washington, D.C., Waiting for Columbus vividly captures the L.A. sextet at a crossroads between its swampy mid-'70s fusion of blues, country, and New Orleans R&B, and the more eclectic jazz accents introduced later in the decade. If the late Lowell George's influence had diminished in the studio, his presence dominates here in rowdy, righteous vocals, the mercurial tang of his indelible slide guitar, and a set-list laced with his songs. While still riveting in its initial, abridged CD release, this remastered two-disc edition expands and resequences the songs into a full concert set, with encore. Two deleted tracks are further augmented by 10 additional performances to make this a definitive edition of a classic album that really will "boogie your speakers away." --Sam Sutherland

Little Feat: "Waiting for Columbus" Listener Review.......2007-06-27

I write this review as someone who holds a music degree from the oldest music conservatory in California - which simply means I spent a lot of time and years of my life learning to perform and recognize good music. This album is good music. I learned of Little Feat from a business colleague, and I am hooked. It is blues, it is rock, it is country rock, it is cajun: take your pick - but these tunes are all well written and well performed in a live setting. As a huge Tower of Power fan, it doesn't hurt that the famous TOP horn section is prominent on several cuts, with tenor sax solos courtesy of Lenny Pickett (the wild-looking band leader on Saturday Night Live who hits all of those really high notes on sax!). Call it old school if you must, but as a guy who just edged his way into baby boomer territory, it is new, fresh and exciting. I love this band for the same reasons I still love to listen to the great classical composers...the music is relevent.

Quintessential live concert with all the trimmings..........2007-04-29

If you're a Little Feat fan, you already know what this is about. If you're discovering them for the first time, consider this a necessary listen. Little Feat found their own space with an approach that took the relaxed, earthy, and often humorous elements of southern rock and married them to R&B, progressive, even jazz like sophistication. The result in a live venue is a wildly exciting and just plain fun concert that captures Little Feat at their best. The live versions of their songs are supercharged and embellished with occasional detours that keep them fresh without ever detracting from their studio counterparts, perhaps even supplanting a few. The recording quality of the remastered/extended release is excellent. Close your eyes and consider this a front row seat to some superb southern cookin' by a band that had no equal at the time.

Waiting for Columbus.......2007-01-29

This recording is a MUST for Little Feat Fans...it reveals just how tight this band was with Lowell George in a live recording...

The BEST LIVE ALBUM I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!.......2007-01-18

I wasn't a "Feat" fan, back in '78 or'79. I won this album in a radio station giveway! They handed it to me & I thought: Who are these guys?
I put it on & couldn't believe my ears!!
5 stars!!??? That's 'way too few!
I was hooked immediately! There is nothing like the energy on this album anywhere I've heard. I now own around 3200 cds & a good number of them are "live" albums...NOTHING compares to this performance!
I used to shuttle cars across the country & this was my ESSENTIAL tape that HAD to come; everything else changed but this... This album is special!
It was originally a double album & they clipped off one tune to make it fit ( Apolitical Blues, I believe) Too bad. every song, every note on this album is pure excitement & joy!
They even have the TOWER OF POWER horn Section sit in on a few tunes & a few famous friends show up to sing backup.
Little Feat has gone on to produce umpteen fabulous albums, many since Lowell Goerge passed (again, TOO BAD- He was simply amazing!) Anyway, Little Feat still tours today with much the same lineup as in the days of old. They still rock & they still put out excellent studio & live albums I ought to know- I now own almost all of them. But friends... This is the album. THIS Is the LIVE album against with you will measure all others; and all others will pale by comparison!

Clyde's Tavern.......2007-01-03

During my five and a half year undergraduate career at Appalachian State this recording was played more than any other at Clyde's Tavern in Blowing Rock, NC. The addition of the second CD just makes the best live rock and roll recording twice as good.

Virginia exile Jason Mraz grew up listening to Dave Matthews and Agents of Good Roots, local heroes whose frat-friendly influences are much in evidence on his major-label debut. Producer John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer) augments Mraz's SoCal cohorts with Agents' rhythm section, dramatically expanding and polishing songs like "Curbside Prophet" and "You and I Both," which previously appeared in looser, less developed versions on Mraz's self-released live recordings. But fans from the singer-songwriter's coffeehouse years need not despair. Mraz's witty lyrics and easygoing folk-blues stylings (think Jack Johnson on Prozac) are still very much in evidence. He's also in fine voice and, on two standout tracks--"Who Needs Shelter" and "Absolutely Zero"--rivals Neil Finn in his ability to invoke the spirit of Paul McCartney. Waiting for My Rocket to Come showcases an artist who, while still finding his own direction, is clearly off to a great start. --Bill Forman

Album Description

His debut album is packed with witty, wordy, smart, funky & astonishingly catchy pop songs that do right by the best singer-songwriter traditions of Elektra. 2002.

Customer Reviews:

great album sophomore album a bit better.......2007-01-14

this album is great I like it so much ! REMEDY is awesome!

Very, very good debut!.......2006-07-30

I am very surprised that Jason Mraz isn't more popular than he is. With songs like "The Remedy" and "You and I Both" which are both great, you'd think he'd be right up there with John Mayer (I actually like Jason a lot more than John Mayer). He should have won best new artist at least at the Grammys, but he didn't even get nominated. My other favs. from this album include "On Love, In Sadness" and "Curbside Prophet" This is one of the best male singers to come around in a long time. I recommend Waiting For My Rocket To Come; Mr. A-Z and any other album he comes out with. He is GREAT! :)

Optomisum in its best form.......2006-03-09

I love this man. When I listen to it, it makes me happy. Thats the best way that I can put it. Also I think his lyrics are unique and relatiable.

This CD is uplifting in a way!!.......2006-01-20

I like Jason Mraz's music and his first one(this one) sounds too great. I put him in the same camp as John Mayer, Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw, Train, and Rob Thomas. He uses real instruments throughout every song and his lyrics are very funny. This is also a laid back and kind of humorous album. This one is not to be slept on. I can call it The WB music.

Great Debut Album - Jason Mraz - Waiting for My Rocket to Come.......2006-01-19

This was another surprising album to me. Obviously, everyone that knows Jason Mraz knows his songs "The Remedy," and "You and I Both," which are his top hits that are played on the radio. However, he does have other good songs like "I'll do anything." The negative is that the album has some gaps, meaning only half the album has good songs, and the rest sound like filler songs to me. Another negative is after a while, all the songs sound about the same, but that may not be a negative to some people, if you like the sound of the song. Personally, I could listen to most of the songs and I really liked the CD. He mixes Pop and alternative together nicely, and I really recommend other people to buy this great CD.

Album Description

1968's WAITING FOR THE SUN, the Doors' first chart-topper, delivered the #1 signature smash "Hello, I Love You" and the Top 40 hit "The Unknown Soldier." New liner notes penned by Paul Williams. Five bonus tracks include the 17-minute epic "Celebration Of The Lizard" and three previously unissued versions of "Not To Touch The Earth."

Customer Reviews:

Different but Still Great!.......2007-07-09

I bought this new version of "Waiting for the Sun" to get a studio-version of the legendary unreleased song "Celebration of the Lizard". Obviously the strongest part of the song is, what was released on the original album as "Not to Touch the Earth", and the track is what it says, "a work in progress". Still interesting moments. The other takes of "Not to Touch the Earth" which are included as bonus-tracks have made me realize how good a song this really is.

What surprised me the most when I listened through the album was that I thought it sounded different. Was it really that long since I last heard it? I did not realize that the album had been both remastered and remixed. I guess it will take some time to get used to these new "versions" - but the sound is really crisp and clear, and if I want to hear the old mixes I can always return to the originals.

The original album contains some the Doors' most poetic and melodic moments like "Yes, The River Knows", the exquisite "Love Street" , which is one of the highlights of the album. The moving "Summer`s Almost Gone". "Wintertime Love" and "Spanish Caravan" are other highlights.

"Not to Touch the Earth" and "Five to One" : Classic Doors !!!
The hit singles "Hello I Love You" and "The Unknown Soldier" may not have aged as well as the rest of the album`s songs. Except of course the weak "My Wild Love" which probably always will annoy me.

We finally get the whole package.......2007-06-23

When this album was released in the late 60's, I bought the vinyl album and noticed that the liner notes had the entire version of "The Celebration of the Lizard). The only part of this that appeared on the album was "Not to touch the Earth"
Not to Touch the Earth is probably the best part of the song, but its only part of it.
I remember being disappointed that the song was not long like, The End or When the Music's over were on their previous two releases.
FINALLY after 40 years they have released a studio version of the entire song.
Waiting for the Sun and their first album simply entitled the Doors are in my mind their best releases. Both albums are raw and are less commercial.
Some of the later releases such as Soft Parade and Morrison Hotel are either not as good or are too commerical. A few songs on Soft Parade even have horns and other things that make the recordings too "Refined"
Jim Morrison is reciting his poetry, and it is probably his first album where he does so.
For hard core Doors fans like myself this is a must. For casual listeners or new listeners, I dont know what to tell you.
For me the recording is now complete and Doors fans like myself can now hear this CD in its entirety.............Enjoy

Remixed!!???!!! - Yep, that's the whole point.........40th Anniversary Remix.......2007-04-14

OK.....What we have here is a failure for some folks to have done their homework. This is the 40th Anniversary "remix" of Waiting for the Sun. It's supposed to be a bit different from the original. In fact ALL of the Doors studio albums have been not only remastered, but remixed. Bonus tracks added as well. If you want the Doors sounding like the albums you grew up with, then pick up the last set of remastered CDs from 1999. If you want killer sound quality, bonus tracks and a new take on these classics pick the 40th Anniversary mixes on Rhino/Elektra. If you're a big fan like me, you'll have them both. At any rate, these editions are great! They are the same you would have gotten if you bought the "Perecptions" box set (no DVD 5.1 mixes here or video content though). Don't be bummed out, just shop wisely and enjoy!! Once again, these editions are a must for longtime fans.

Remixed!!!.......2007-04-03

Yes, the sound is great but the tracks are remixed, often with new vocal and instrumental parts. These are NOT the original mixes. Caveat emptor!

Turn off your mind relax and float downstream. Entertainment for the mentaly enhanced. The words describe the words as you find a dark room and a few hours with the phone unplugged and doors locked. The fine woven gears of Firesign theatre transport you to forbidden places and celestial visons.

When played backwards you will see God.. Mirror required incense and padded cell optional. Management not responsible for lost mental abilities.

Nice Paisley Horsie.......2006-06-21

I remember listening to "Waiting for the Electrician" when it came out. Earphones. Sunshine LSD. What's not to like. I lost my vinyl of all the Firesign guys and got replacements recently. Listening 38 years later, it has excatly the same effect. Must be flashbacks. Satire is beyond time. Each self standing one act play defines the language of the piece so that the 60's and 70's lingua via is accessible. The title auditory show is more powerful now than then because they got it all right.

Best Firesign performance ever BUT BEWARE..........2006-04-13

For those of you who know and loved this originally as an LP, you will be disappointed to learn that sony messed up the remix BIG TIME by deleting important dialog at the beginning of the second side of the album (of course, on the cd it would be the second segment). The beginning of the second side IS CRITICAL to the subject of the performance and as best as I can recall, should have begun something like this:

"Welcome to side 4. Please follow along as we learn 3 new words in Turkish.
Towel, Bath, Border...may I see your passport please..." ...
(someone could please tweak this for I know this is not EXACTLY the dialog).

Anyway, you get the idea. The beginning is suppose to be as if you were listening to one of those "Berlitz" language records. Just wish/ hope sony would rectify this REAL SOON!

Eastern Europe: Home of Your Inner Child!.......2005-08-18

Oh - it's the Ice Show!

The spy has been in deep cover behind the Iron Curtain. He has just received his hurried direction in clipped sentences, has checked into the Hotel Kafka, and has been intercepted, probed, scoffed at, ignored, and wiretapped.

Then for no reason at all, he goes through a door, and is on the ice at the Berlibber Ice Palatz, to see the Gunatzis Brothers, Hans and Junni, shoot it out with weapons of increasing caliber and fierceness...

It was their first album, and thus one of their more transparent. But side two (sorry, Side Five), remains a masterpiece.

Good Stuff!.......2005-08-04

This is one, if not my favorite of the Firesign I've listened to. If you like history you'll love this one. And if you don't, no problem, you'll still get a kick out of it. Lots of great lines, word play and sound effects. A must have!

Love it!.......2006-07-02

I saw this CD at a friends house and asked about it, we put it in and I was blown away by "In a daydream". It took a while but
"Take the time" and others struck me too! I saw them in SLC at a private club. Man that drummer would smack the drums so hard...listen to the drumming and you can almost feel it!
BUY this !!! I had this as the number 1 CD in my car changer for about three years!

When you need to remember to live life........2005-04-06

When you need to remember to live life, you listen to this album. There aren't many albums that are in constant rotation at my house, but this is one.

Let me take you back in time. It's 1994 and I am moving from my home to a big new city to pursue a dream. An awesome friend of mine, makes me a tape of various songs. It included three from the FJB, her favorite band, she was a groupie. From the beginning the music was uplifting, full of great lyrics and incredible. From Take the Time, to One World and then of course In a Daydream. I was in tears. I was starting new. Powerful stuff.

Take the Time starts off asking, Where the hell are you running to? Try and find yourself a life. Look at yourself you're just standing still. And later, Tired of people talking about what they're gonna do or what they said or should have done. It commands you to take the time to look in front of you. It's full of great harmonies, haunting vocals and goosebump producing guitars. Seriously.

In A Daydream starts off with a great, catchy, loopy guitar riff. It's a song that will propel you forward in one of those days you just dream about. Warm, sunny day in the middle of nowhere. "The sky is calling, calling out my name." "I'm already in a daydream." The music, especially the guitar and bass towards the end, is meant to achieve the musical equivalent of a fantasy. It captures it.

The bottom line is that music, for me, is meant to take me away to another place or time. This album is timeless, deserved A LOT more recognition that it got and this band was just incredible live. In fact, much better live. Thanks to my friend 11 yrs ago for introducing me to TFJB. I am in Chicago now, too bad they aren't together anymore. But their music lives on forever.

A lover of "BLUES".......2002-10-23

I picked up the cassette of this at a tag sale! It is one of the BEST ever! I have been searching for more from FJB for months. Just found them (Oct 2002). It is amazing that they broke up. This is a MUST HAVE in your collection. I play it at least once a week. IN A DAYDREAM is wonderful. So is Dixie. They are all good. If you need a lift, this is the one to play. I cannot wait to get all the rest of their music.

This album is a classic!.......2001-12-05

"Waiting for the Night" is one of the greatest lesser-known albums of recent history. There are some really dynamite tunes on this album. The song that is the favorite of everyone who knows Freddy Jones is "In a Daydream." It's the kind of song that will pick you up when you are down, and keep you riding when you're feeling great.

The Killers. Interpol. Franz Ferdinand. Without New Order's influence they could have all ended up making albums of country & western ballads. Since the demise of Joy Division in 1980, the British synth-pop quartet has been diligently changing the course of popular music, lobbing unlikely but inventive hits like "Blue Monday" and "True Faith" into the charts. Twenty-five years on, New Order remains shockingly vital. Its eighth proper album overflows with shimmering melodies, anchored by Peter Hook's spine-tingling bass lines and Bernard Sumner's thin but emotive voice in thrilling new songs like "Krafty" and "Dracula's Castle." -- Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews:

Smashing.......2007-02-08

I'd drifted away from New Order in the past decade or so. Even the inclusion of Billy Corgan wasn't enough to pique my interest, 'cause the music didn't seem to be as good as their old stuff. I finally got around to checking out this album a couple of months ago, and was blown away. It's a terrific collection of songs that on any other album would be highlights. Catchy, clever, compulsive, and classic - and that's just the compliments beginning with 'C'. Great stuff.

Greatest Album since Beatles White Album.......2006-11-14

It is now November 2006 and I still can't take it out of my deck. I also have it in my MP3 player. I went to the Concert in May 2005 and believe the band keeps getting better and better. I await their next album. Buy this one though.

SUMNER.......2006-11-03

what a great band. I have been a fan of this band since republic came out and now i have everything by them i am a fanatic when it comes to them. this is a great album with great catchy songs. great music from manchester england. this is classic music , not the crap you hear in america the top forty crap. great music from manchester, when i think of now order i always think of england. bernard sumner has one of the greatest voices ever and peter hook is a classic. my favorite songs on this album are KRAFTY, WAITING FOR THE SIRENS CALL , WHO"S JOE and so many others great songs. can't wait for the new album.

The Comeback Continues..........2006-10-31

Great album - more synth-heavy and musically diverse than 2001's GET READY, but not as cohesive or moving. Possibly not the best choice to start with for new fans, tho. Try LOW-LIFE instead. Here's a quick breakdown:

Who's Joe (8/10): Excellent opener saved from mediocrity by spectacular bass riffs during the chorus.

Hey Now (7/10): Unfortunately, Hooky didn't save this bland rocker (oxymoron?) from relative mediocrity. Sounds more like Electronic (Barney's side project with former Smith's guitarist Johnny Marr) than NO. Not that Electronic's so bad...

Krafty (10/10): Possibly their greatest single ever (and this is really saying something!). Absolute New Order heaven. Reminds me of their criminally unknown track, Such A Good Thing.

Waiting For The Siren's Call (10/10): Another all-time classic - better than virtually anything since 93's Regret. One of Hook's most distinctive and addictive licks ever, and a masterful performance by the entire group. It's flabbergasting they're this good 25 years on!

I Told You So (8/10): An abrupt switch to pure techno, which would not have worked if the song wasn't so good. Like many NO tunes, this one's a grower. Dark, swaggering, sophisticated, & sexual.

Morning Night And Day (7/10): Here's where the album starts sagging. Nothing awful, but the next few don't even compare to tracks 3 and 4. Still, pretty good ear candy.

Dracula's Castle (7/10): Run of the mill. Too synth- heavy and melodically meandering. Should have been a b-side for Krafty.

Jetstream (8/10): Not bad - this one was a minor hit - but something about it leaves me cold. This dancy, druggy collaboration with Ana Matronic didn't really need to be a single.

Guilt Is A Useless Emotion (9/10): Great title, great song. Pure, stomping techno, the likes of which we haven't heard from NO since 89's TECHNIQUE. Unlike some of the previous numbers, this time the electronica really works for them. The first in a trilogy of whoppers that close out SIREN'S CALL.

Turn (9/10): Cited by many online fans as the best track, this one's a driving and emotional pop gem - elegiac, catchy, and more rock-oriented like the first four tracks.

Working Overtime (9/10): Adrenalized punk-pop, Green Day-style. It all comes together on this fantastically alive rocker that leaves you grinning as the disk stops. NO have a long history of closing their albums in grand style, and this is one of their best. Along the same lines as Rock The Shack, but distinctly better.

Overall grade: 9/10. Heed the call.

Grows On You..........2006-10-28

I've had this album for quite some time now, and after initially being disappointed,the album has steadily grown on me. The songs are incredibly catchy and seem to linger...and somehow the album returns to the CD player.

**** out of 5.

Good indie pop.......2007-01-14

There isn't much difference between songs but then again this is only an EP. Found this band through Scrubs/Garden State as the band members are friends of Zach Braff's. Overall a good cd but I might recommend the LP instead.

Short and Sweet.......2007-01-03

Great set of songs, the only disappointment is that it ends too soon.

This guy is amazing.......2006-03-03

Cary Brothers along with Joshua Radin are both amazing artists. This CD is great. The guy has an amazing voice and is a really great guy on top of everything. Like the person that said before me, if ya can, catch this guy when he's playing small venues. He's going to be huge.

Sexiest voice in the universe........2006-02-05

I saw Cary at The Hotel CafeTour last Fall, and had to get both of his eps. "Waiting For Your Letter" is diverse and well executed, even though I want a full-lentgh album! I work for a radio station in Salt Lake City, UT, and recently put him in my top 10 songs in Utah's weekly entertainment paper, City Weekly. The song off of the ep I chose was "Lonliest Girl In The World". I cry EVERY stinking time I play it. It's just Cary and the piano. His voice is so hot. It cracks once in a while which makes the song uber sexy.

Fran says get a hold of Cary and your ears will thank you........2006-02-04

Cary is one of those rare singer songwriters that come along and really deliver the GOODS. Get a hold of his music and it will stay in your cd player. And if you think that is good make sure to check him out live. I saw him open up for Liz Phair and he blew the crowd away. Who knew that the dirty long haul trucker looking guy could pour out his soul with just his guitar. Buy it now and tell your friends later, "Man, I was listening to that guy back when he was playing nightclubs and bars. It is so much better than these stadium tours." "I even had a beer with the guy." I will see him later, at the 9:30 club in DC.

Amazon.com essential recording

Few rock concert documents can match this 1978 live album for sheer musicianship, or for its full-blooded representation of one of the best live bands ever. Little Feat's turbulent '70s pilgrimage had been studded with commercial detours when its second incarnation as a swampy, blues-rock sextet clicked musically, and these English and American dates, beautifully recorded by George Massenburg, capture the band in all its rowdy, precise glory. The late Lowell George's influence had been damped down in the studio, deferring to his bandmates' writing and singing, but Columbus is dominated by his gruff, lyrical vocal presence and the mercurial tang of his indelible slide guitar. With the Tower of Power Horns aboard to inject razor-sharp horn work, this romp through the Feat songbook of southern-fried rock represents a satisfying summation of the band's best works, every bit as engaging as their studio models. This is simmering, smart music measured by an honor roll of great songs with no lapses. The only caveat--and a minor one--is the deletion of two tracks to squeeze the original two LPs onto a single CD. --Sam Sutherland

Feats, Do Yo' Stuff.......2006-07-26

This is certainly one of the best live rock albums ever recorded, though I wouldn't say the best. (I don't think it knocks out Live At Leeds by The Who, The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East, or even Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out by The Rolling Stones - much less Hendrix at Monterey Pop.) Still, when you combine Little Feat at their peak (Lowell George above ground) with the Tower Of Power horns, you know you've got a red-hot evening on your hands. This CD delivers - and then some.

There's a lot of hand-wringing out there about two songs from the original 2-LP set being dropped to squeeze the concert onto one CD, Don't Bogart That Joint and A Apolitical Blues. Yikes. Don't Bogart That Joint was a cheap, embarrassing song when this was released, now it's just stupid. A Apolitical Blues is a great and witty number but readily available elsewhere if you need it that badly. Fans who require every squeal and stomp of this show should burn their bucks on the new, 2-CD reissue, complete with wave after wave of extraneous flotsam and jetsam.

The concert is fast out of the gate, Fat Man In The Bathtub was always one of Feat's best songs and it comes on so strong you can almost feel the audience lifting off the ground. Old Folks' Boogie grinds slow with a groove that really gets inside you. At this point the jams get longer and tend towards self-indulgence. Spanish Moon, Dixie Chicken, and Tripe Face Boogie are all great but the treatments here wander far and wee around the barnyard with inconsistent results.

Rocket In My Pocket is one of the absolute best while Willin' - though it's signature George - feels obligatory and out of place. Sailin' Shoes reads a little like one would need to be sailing to "get" it. Fortunately the show closes out in grand fashion with Feats Don't Fail Me Now, a real gottago kind of track. Despite these and other inconsistencies, Waiting For Columbus truly is a wonderful CD, and a great introduction to Little Feat.

2 LOST SONGS ARE FOUND..........2006-02-27

I agree that Waiting For Columbus is all the previous reviewers have said and then some. Concerning the original CD release, I was a little miffed at the idea of 2 great songs being left off to create a 1 CD package- but fear not my fellow audiophiles- you can find them as bonus songs on "The Last Record Album" by The Feats- along with a silly "Bonus Announcement". I also purchased the New Rhino CD upgrade of WFC back when it first came out. Has a lot of good extra stuff on it. Highly recommended listening pleasure. So there you have it- now quit your griping about left out songs. But I do agree- they should have put them on the original CD in the first place. Probaly had something to do with the 74 minute CD length at the time.

NO SMALL FEAT!.......2005-10-28

This is the premiere all around "live" or "greatest hits" collection by the original Little Feat, featuring the late and also great Lowell George. A crowd pleasing mix of folk, funk, country, blooze, boogie woogie, and rock, Feat was always at their bizarre best in a concert setting. From a nine minute "Dixie Chicken" jam, to rollicking workouts on staples "Oh Atlanta", "Fat Man in the Bathtub", and "Feats Don't Fail Me Now", you just won't find a finer party in a package. Kudos to the lead vocal work of guitarist Paul Barrere and pianist Bill Payne, proving Lowell George wasn't their only interesting singer and the righteous Tower of Power horn section, who joined in on the fun fest. A minor quibble: The short track "Don't Bogart That Joint" (an old Fraternity of Man ditty) and the funky "Apolitical Blues" from the original double LP have been omitted on this single CD. Even so, "Waiting For Columbus" stands head and Feat above almost all other concert recordings. RATING: FIVE FEAT UP

a live set of boogie rock magic, southern flavored.......2005-04-28

this cd might be obsolete with the introduction of the newly expanded version, but i don't have that one so I won't review it. This cd is intense and awesome, often cited as one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. And it does hold up since the 70's, with great tunes that are perfectly played and wonderfully arranged. this is boogie rock that is extremely polished, with synths and bongos giving it a party-rock atmosphere. A great live document to a very underappreciated band; just pop it in and enjoy. There isn't a weak moment on here.

One Of The Great Live Albums Ever.......2002-09-24

My cassette of WAITING FOR COLUMBUS is even better than the original CD because it features two songs not on the first CD version. I have the studio versions of many of the songs, but some of the live versions feature slightly different lyrics and arrangements. This, along with concert recordings by the Allmans, Outlaws, Skynyrd, Nugent, UFO, and some others, is one of the quintessential live albums of all time. A worthy addition to any rock fan's library.

This, along with his other albums, are great -- soothing, yet moving.

Waiting for his next album.......2006-03-17

Others here have said it more eloquently than I can, but this music is nice the first time and awesome the hundredth time you listen to it. Actually, I searched on John Adorney to see if he had any new albums as I've got all four and looking for more. Also, it's interesting to see what else John Adorney lovers listen to.

Lonesome Entrepreneurial Consultant.......2005-12-17

In March of 2004, I left a high profile job just to see if I could make it from scratch bottom on my own. For the past nine months, I built a solitary consulting practice on the second floor of my house. Each day as I worked, I would listen to the New Age station on AOL Radio (now an XM version) - the most pleasant, satisfying, but non-distracting radio I could find. Each day, John Adorney's cuts from "Waiting For The Moon" came on at various times and they each stood out for me. I would turn up the sound, sit back - and enjoy my freedom.
Thanks, John.

Breathtaking.......2005-06-09

Beautiful! Listening to this, for me, evokes images and feelings of the Master crafting his art in "The Potter's Gift", the inexorable flow of life towards it's goal in "The River's Secret", and profound patience in "Waiting for the Moon". John Adorney and Daya strike a note in my soul each time I listen.

A religious experience.......2005-03-05

I disagree with the previous reviewer. I find the addition of the gentle voice to be fantastic on songs like 'Always.'

This is my review of all three Adorney CDs. For me, his music is like a religious experience. At the same time, it is soothing and relaxing yet energizing. There are several tracks, including 'Celebration,' on the 'Beckoning' CD, and 'Always' on 'Waiting for the Moon,' that I will play over and over. I simply cannot get enough of them.

I am not a serious musician, so I cannot give a technical critique. However, I find the instrumentation and arrangements to be superb. The music surrounds you with emotional warmth!

Buy all three CDs!

With the massive success of the single "Light My Fire" and their initial two albums, L.A.'s the Doors quickly built a sizable reputation for edgy, often over-the-top musical drama. Perhaps wary of stereotyping, or simply worn out from their grueling early success, the band took a decided left turn into softer sounds here, from the pop-drenched "Hello, I Love You" to the flamenco guitar wash of "Spanish Caravan." Even gentle ballads (by the band's standards, anyway) were a part of the Doors' new sensibility, as witnessed by "Love Street" and "Summer's Almost Gone." But lest one think the band had gone a little too soft, the antiwar diatribe "The Unknown Soldier," the edgy "Five to One," and the deliciously strange "Not to Touch the Earth" were there to remind listeners that even if the band had mellowed a bit, they were still a long way from Jay and the Americans. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Digitally remastered pressing of The Doors third album from 1968, a mellower affair than their previous albums but certainly just as melodic and exciting. The Doors' mixture of Rock, Blues and Jazz combined with vocalist Jim Morrison's poetic lyrics and powerful vocals created a musical Molotov cocktail that could make your senses explode...in a good way! 10 tracks including 'Hello I Love You', 'Spanish Caravan' and 'The Unknown Soldier'. Warner.

Excellant but incomplete.......2007-06-10

I remember purchasing this album back in 1968 during the summer it came out..
I got the album home and noticed on the inner liner the lyrics to a song called. "The Celebration of the Lizard. On the liner the lyrics were written. On the album all they had was a small incert of it. Not to Touch the Earth at the time seemed very unique. It was Morrison on his new album doing a song similar to "The End" or "When the Nusics Over"
A few years later the Doors released a new Live album with the Entire version of The Celebration of the Lizard" and I finally got to hear the entire song for the first time.
This album will always been in my mind one of the two or three best albums the Doors have ever done. Jim Morrison was a master poet and in my opinion this album includes some of his finest poetic love songs.
Hello I Love You is a partial rip off of the song by the Kinks, "All of the Day and All of the Night.
Love Street is good but the real meat and potatos is Wintertime Love, The Unknown Soldier and another of my favorites Five to One. Spanish Caravan and Yes, The River Knows are also outstanding............File this under "C" for classic, If you are not familliar with the Doors and are discovering them for the first time, I suggest you get their first album with Light my Fire and this one. Strange Days would be another one to check out These first three albums are the most raw and least commercial. But you can buy anything by the Doors and not go wrong.

Sun burn.......2007-03-06

WAITING FOR THE SUN might be evidence that Jim Morrison was either a tapped-out lyric writer ("Not To Touch The Earth" and "Summer's Almost Gone") or just totally stoned out of his mind ("The Celebration Of The Lizard" poetry). But then, we see flashes of the sort of brilliance that permeated the DOORS' first two albums-- tracks like "The Unknown Soldier" and "Five To One" stand up against any that this band ever recorded.

Musically, WAITING FOR THE SUN often sounds tremendously dated-- perhaps it was outmoded even in 1968. Fuzz guitar and calliope-like organ are everywhere-- there's waltzes ("Wintertime Love") and schmaltzes ("Love Street") and all sorts of filler. A pattern of inconsistency established here followed the group right through to L.A. WOMAN. The DOORS were a band that the "Best Of" compilation was ideal for. Like THE SOFT PARADE and MORRISON HOTEL, WAITING FOR THE SUN is only for their most devoted fans and perhaps '60s rock completists.

So It Might Not Be The Doors Best, But It's Still Good.......2006-11-24

I don't believe that there is a bad Doors album, it's just some albums are better then others. I don't think even that "The Soft Parade" is bad, it's just different.

But now onto this album. "Waiting For The Sun" is a classic Doors album. While it's not the best (that honor would go to either the first album or "LA Woman", maybe even "Morrison Hotel"), it's still very good. It is a little "lighter" then preceding albums or following albums, but there are some hard-rocking numbers here as well.

The album opens up with the driving, poppy "Hello, I Love You", which became a number 1 hit single, and it's not hard to understand why. Then comes "Love Street", which is a light song, but it's very underrated. It is a nice light song. Then we have "Not To Touch The Earth", an excerpt from the epic "Celebration of the Lizard". It's a creepy, rollicking song and one of the best songs on the album. The next song is "Summer's Almost Gone", which is somewhat like "Love Street", but not as good. Then comes "Wintertime Love", which is more upbeat then it's predecessor but is still very poppy. It's also the shortest song on the album. "The Unknown Soldier" comes next, the Doors famous anti-war song, and it's a great song that has appeared on many Greatest Hits compilations. "Spanish Caravan" follows, and, much like the title implies, it has a spanish feel to it. It's a pretty good song, especially towards the end when Robby Kreiger switches from accoustic to electric guitar. Then comes "My Wild Love", which is mostly just vocals, not a bad song, not great. Then comes "We Could Be So Good Together". Much like "Wintertime Love", it is an upbeat, poppy song, but not bad in any way. Then comes "Yes, The River Knows", which is probably the worst song on the album as it is slow and not Doors-like at all. But however much that song takes it away, the next song, "Five To One", repents for it and adds a lot to the album. Probably the best song on the album, "Five to One" is the most Doors-like on the album and is one of my personal favorites.

Overall, this is a really good album that deserves a chance even if it is not THE best Doors albums, it's still really good.

Interesting, at least.......2006-11-06

This is a fascinating album in that it contains some of the Doors' most bizarre tracks on the same album as a few of their most banal pop ones. The weird, whacky experimental songs all rule but one, and with a single exception, the banal songs are boring.
First, the single exception to the "banal pop song" rule. Hello, I Love You is sheer, moronic bubblegum, but I don't care - I love every minute of it, even if the riff was stolen from the Kinks. It's a lot like Love Her Madly: Pure, unadultered, unpretentious rock. And if you can't appreciate it for what it is, I'd recommend clinical help. But the question stands: how many times outside of one are you gonna listen to Love Street, Summer's Almost Gone, Wintertime Love, We Could Be So Good Together or Yes, The River Knows?
Then we get to the weird stuff - which, with one odious, glaring exception, is amazing. Not To Touch The Earth is simply demented - and the Celebration of the Lizard (which it's a small part of) is even more so, but I love it. Manzarek's organ sounds like it walked out of a funeral parlour from Hell, and I've got no clue what Jim's talking about but it sure is disturbing. Slightly more accessible is the politicized rant Five to One (or at least it looks political - I've heard that it means nothing because Jim was drunk off his keister when he wrote it), which is pure metal - and probably my favorite song off the album. And speaking of political protests, they pull a hell of an antiwar classic with The Unknown Soldier, which actually works in a real firing squad that, according to legend, shot at Jim in the studio. Cool! The last of my favorites is Spanish Caravan, which I think is one of the Doors' more unjustly unknown efforts. It certainly sounds like nothing else - contrast the two parts (yes, two parts in a three minute song!) and you'll see what I mean. The lone experiment I can't really get into is My Wild Love. What's the chant doing there? I don't know, but it's gotta go. Because that's one awful song.
This is a painfully obvious transition album (with Jim loaded during half the recording sessions - figures), but I think that this could've been something had they managed to get the full Celebration of the Lizard on tape and expanded on the experimental material - while keeping Hello, I Love You, just for contrast's sake. Now it's just an average album.

the shaman lives.......2006-06-26

Since my youth I have had an ear for roots music, whether I was conscious of that fact or not. The original of that interest first centered on the blues, then early rock and roll and later, with the folk revival of the early 1960's, folk music. I have often wondered about the source of this interest. I am, and have always been a city boy, and an Eastern city boy at that. Nevertheless, over time I have come to appreciate many more forms of roots music than in my youth. The subject of the following review is an example.

The Doors are roots music you ask? Yes, in the sense that one of the branches of rock and roll derives from early rythmn and blues and in the special case of Jim Morrison, leader of the Doors, the attempt to find shamanic roots in the Western American Native American culture. Some of that influence is apparent here.

More than one rock critic has argued that at their best the Doors were the best rock and roll band ever created. Those critics will get no argument here. What a reviewer with that opinion has to do is determine whether any particular CD catures the Doors at their best. This album while it has some classics is not uniformly their best work. This reviewer advises that if you want to buy only one Doors CD that would be The Best of the Doors. If you want to trace their evolution this CD is fine.
