live and alive.......2007-05-25

This Three Dog Night album is interesting for a couple reasons. One, it shows the world that the band was more than just a vocal harmony band, and two, only one song featured here is played on the radio anymore ("One").

If you grew up listening to this band and expect to hear unique vocal harmonies, think again. While the vocals here are definitely good, it seems to me Three Dog Night wanted to prove that they could also stand tall with all the hard rock bands around at the time. "Nobody" and "Chest Fever" proves this for example. Songs that can rock convincingly.

"Heaven Is In Your Mind" is another great song, and a fantastic way to open this set. I don't know if I'd prefer this version over Traffic's, but you know, the Traffic version sounds pretty old, while the boys in Three Dog Night give the song an updated sound with plenty of energy. Check out that guitar solo in the middle. In fact, check out the guitar work throughout the entire album. Yes that's right- there's PLENTY of guitar on this album (for all you people out there who might think the band was too weak to hang with the big boys, like Zeppelin and Sabbath- think again!)

This version of "Feeling Alright" is quite good too. Again, it's about rocking out with some funk thrown in for good measure. This version is probably just as good as Grand Funk's. Joe Cocker's version can go... in the back of the closet.

For those missing some of Three Dog Night's softer and prettier numbers, "Easy to be Hard" might fit the bill. It's a shame most people will probably write off Three Dog Night without giving some of their albums a chance. That is, most people who grow up today, under the assumption that Three Dog Night was all about old and dated vocal harmonies. Wrong! Pick this album up for proof of that.

Wish I'd Been There!.......2006-07-03

This is my favorite live album of all time; bought it in early 1970, shortly after it came out. I'm so glad the CD version is available now, because I've absolutely worn the vinyl out! As someone else mentioned, it is a little short, but the energy is fabulous. The versions of It's For You, Nobody, One, "Eli's-a-Comin" , and Try a Little Tenderness are, IMO, much, much better than the studio cuts. Both vocals and instrumentals seem to be a lot more together in this live album. Unbelievable that it was done in '69, seems like only yesterday!

In the true spirit of 'retro'.......2005-10-13

I remember when this album (not CD) was popular. This was always close to the top of our play list. For nostalgia, I recently purchased this CD... and at first I couldn't remember why we liked it so much. But after a couple of spins through the CD player, I realized that this is an excellent capture of the Three Dog Night sound. Well mixed, excellent musicians, and a great selection of music. It would have been really nice if they could have included some bonus tracks on the CD not originally on the album. This one really 'Socks it to it'!

Jimjn.......2005-10-10

Easily one of the best live performances ever captured on record, tape or CD! This is a great album! The music and the vocals are tremendous. The energy and feel comes through and you can tell the band and the audience are having a great time. The only knock for me is that it's to short. I wish these guys would dig out the rest of the tapes, re-master the tunes and add extra songs. There has to be more to this show somewhere. When you hear it I think you will feel the same way. There are so many reissue and re-mastered CDs with extra songs these days that could have been left alone. This is one that should be enhanced. It truly deserves it.

One of the most celebrated live performances ever!.......2005-08-21

18.000 souls had the chance to presence this amazing spectacle in Los Angeles Forum on 18 September 1969 one of the most reminded musical happenings ever made.
The impressive strength vocal and incredible moods of this fabulous band in the late sixties allowed them articulate lyrics ballads, easy going themes and furious rapture.
They had a very original style but the perfect vocal coupling in white rock bands. How can you forget his furious Eli's coming, or his super known One or the sweet ballad Easy to be hard?
Go for this historical document and no matter if you didn't live the Rock Golden Ages!

Wonderful remix of classic Peter Tosh.......2007-06-14

I had lost touch with the many of my old favorite Peter Tosh recordings during the world's transition from vinyl to digital devices. I have been slowly rebuilding my library. So, I have owned this album on vinyl for 20 some years, I was blown away by the new version. More political commentary by Peter than I remember and outstanding renditions of all of the songs.

I highly recommend this album.

'Rastafari Is'.......2006-07-26

I realized I haven't written any reviews for music and this is an artist I've been listening to from my earliest beginnings. I don't know who the best musician is, the choice is subjective. But Peter Tosh to me is the greatest ever. 'Rastafari Is' (the live version) and 'Not Gonna Give It Up' off the 'Mama Africa' album are the two greatest songs ever made. Music like any other medium is directive. The Orisha Tosh directs us to righteousness, intelligence and upfullness. Buy the cd and the concomitant dvd.

Hands Down the Best Live Album of All Time.......2006-06-06

Once Again, a broad claim. But, this truly is the best. Before My personal Favorite was "It's Alive" by The Ramones (With "Where's the 10 1/2" by Black Flag coming in a close second) but this album blows both of those away. I personally always preferred to Peter Tosh to Marley after the Wailers, and this is one of the reasons why. The actual sound is incredibly crisp, clean, and sounds better than in the studio. Now most of the time, I don't believe in live albums being superior in any way to recordings- there very rarely is any extra energy in live recordings. This is one of the exceptions. You can almost cry when you ear the beautiful, passionate energy coming out of his speakers. An essential to any Roots Reggae compilation.

Complete Captured Live "AWESOME".......2005-09-06

This DVD is awesome! Tosh is the at his best live! His voice is like no other. Tosh was ahead of his time. I thought it was awesome that he spoke his mind. It was such a loss to the world when this guy was killed.

It Doesn't Get Better.......2005-08-05

First, "Complete Captured Live" has perhaps the best sound and production of any live concert recording I have ever heard. It actually SOUNDS better than most studio recordings. The drums are clean, crisp and in your face; the bass is perfectly placed and full; and the entire mix is well balanced and pristine.

Second, the song selection is excellent, focussing mostly on songs from Mama Africa, probly Peter Tosh's most artistically realized group of songs.

Third, Peter Tosh's vocal performances are astounding. His voice is in fine condition, his phrasing is spot-on, and his delivery is remarkably confident, assured and strong. Peter Tosh was a big man (6' 3") and he possessed a husky and very masculine voice that emanated deep from within his chest. In these songs, he sounds like a giant who could bend a microphone stand into a pretzel with one hand.

This CD has really made me re-analyze Tosh's work and place in all music, not just reggae. By the time this 1983 concert took place, Peter Tosh had been writing songs, singing and performing for nearly 20 years and it is obvious that by 1983 he had honed his art to a razor's edge. Remember that most American and English rock musicians of Tosh's age (Tosh started writing and recording around 1964) were already burned out, dead, or drugged out by age 38, milking their "greatest hits" of years past or making crappy, forgettable new music their fans did not want to hear. But here, in August 1983, Peter Tosh delivers a concert dominated by freshly written material that is among his best and delivers a live performance that is probably his personal best, one of the best ever in reggae music, and one of the best recorded live concerts in any genre. Even his one chestnut ("Get Up Stand Up") is recast in a crushing version that is miles from "sunny reggae style" and owes more to heavy metal and punk in its arrangement and ferocity. The Jamaican "rude boy" was the original punk of music (see The Clash). Tosh was a rude boy but he was disarmingly smart and a dedicated craftsman of his art. And although he smoked more weed than many small European countries the stuff seemed to make his art stronger and sharper rather than weaker. Go figure.

Peter Tosh's art was as a writer and singer of politically charged songs that still worked as singable songs with effective and catchy melodic hooks. In this arena, he has almost no peers. While Bob Marley shares the prize with Marvin Gaye for some of the best sensual songs (an arena Tosh rarely touched), Peter Tosh practically owns the political song and could be said to have invented the genre and taken it its highest level of development. His review of his early work on the 1976 album "Live & Dangerous Boston 1976" shows how in his late teens and early 20s Tosh had already mastered the craft of marrying the political with the singable and danceable. As anyone knows who has tried to write songs with a political tint, it is very rocky terrain and fraught with artistic pitfalls (just ask Bruce Springsteen). It is a genre of songwriting that is horrendously difficult to do well without sounding preachy, dogmatic, cliched or annoyingly self-righteous. Peter Tosh succeeds repeatedly by using simple, singable language:

"Africa is the richest place
But it has the poorest race
And to me it's just a disgrace
Just a disgrace.
That's why I'm not gonna give it up.
I will be fighting.
I've got to be fighting
I'm always fighting
Until Africa and Africans are free."

The above, from "Not Gonna Give It Up" works so well because in this concert Peter Tosh sings the words with amazing force, strength and honesty with a twinge of tenderness and sadness underneath. In this song, and others ("Mama Africa", "African" and "Pick Myself Up") Peter Tosh melds the folk, soul, blues, gospel and reggae vocal stylings into an amazingly effective whole.

Having not listened to much reggae -- or Peter Tosh -- for 15 years I was able to hear this CD with very fresh and open ears. It totally blew me away.

Tosh's speech (about 3 minutes) called "Peter's Rap" is a hidden gem of force, bluntness, braggadoccio and humbleness. What starts as a rant about record companies (ala Tinsel Town Rebellion by Frank Zappa) quickly unfolds to a much wider and deeper palette until he finishes with the statement (to folks in Los Angeles) to prepare for World War III. The crowd clearly does not know whether to cheer or what to do. And he says "it will not happen to me, it will happen to you because Rastafari have already fought the first, second and third world wars." It is obvious here where Jamaican political dub poet Mutabaruku turned to develop his own craft. Check him out too.

While it first sounds self-serving and self-pitying, Tosh's rant about record companies disrespecting reggae music and Jamaican singers and songwriters -- and Tosh himself -- is true. The music has always (and still) has been treated by record companies as novelty music, exotica, silly songs that are dancy and Bob Marley. Tosh wanted his music, his country's music and his own songs to be taken seriously and treated with the deference they deserve. Tosh's best songs and lyrics achieve a level of art that fully merits the treatment he felt they earned.

The closing and encore song ("Mama Africa") is a stroke of genius. Most artists save their final song in a concert for their "big hit" that everyone knows, is waiting for and came to the concert to hear. Peter gives the final song slot to a brand new song, 9 minutes long, that many in the audience had not yet heard. And he tears the house down with it. Using a very light and "old fashioned" rock-steady beat, "Mama Africa" could perhaps be Tosh's best song. It is tough, tender, heartfelt and his singing contains a plaintive vulnerability he rarely let out. For a man whose parents abandoned him as an infant -- as a boy growing up with no mother or father -- the words he sings here as a grown man are amazing:

"I've been waiting, yearning, looking
Searching to find you.
I've been crying, praying hoping
That I may find you Mama.

You're my mother Africa
You're my father Africa.

I'm proud of you Mama
I love you Mama
I'm proud of you Mama
I love you heavenly."

Rarely in any music has the personal and political been fused so tightly, perfectly and heartfully as in this song. Walt Whitman declared "I contain multitudes" -- Peter Tosh did too.

This CD gives a picture of Peter Tosh at the very height of his power and it is awesome to behold.

The only thing wrong with the CD package is that it stupidly and inexplicably does not list the names of ANY of the musicians performing with Peter Tosh. What elaborate double CD package of an historic, live concert does not even MENTION the names of the players (even in tiny type)? Interestly, the name of the producer is VERY prominently placed all over the package. Go figure.

Peter Tosh was a fierce and gentle giant. He is very much missed in the world he was taken from by a hail of bullets in 1987.

The best of the 1970's.......2007-05-01

I'll keep it brief. The 1970's had a lot of great live albums. This was probably the best one of them all. It's timeless. Down and dirty blues rocking with guitar work that you will have to hear to believe.

"CAPTURED" is the word here.......2007-04-30

When Johnny Winter used to play rock roll, he really knew how to do it right. There is some blistering guitar work here, as well as some of the meanest slide guitar this side of Elmore James. A nice combination of rock and blues, the more you listen to this album, the more you will come to appreciate how great it really is. They just don't make records like this anymore. ALL Of these latter day rock bands could learn a thing or two from Sweet Papa John.

This is a seriously "SMOKING" album!.......2006-09-04

I am not a big Johnny Winter fan but this a killer live album. For guitar fans, tone freaks, blues hounds and rock and roll animals, this is the real deal!

The best song is the kick off song "Bony Moronie". Wow, does this album get off to a rousing start!

Johnny Winter/Floyd Radford/Randi Hobbs/Richard Hughes.......2005-05-12

One of my favorite Johnny Winter albums of all time. This is one intense rock/blues CD. Man can these guys play. And Floyd Radford- he compliments Johnny nicely and plays some nice rhythm AND lead guitar. Johnny at his all time best...

Jaw-dropping.......2005-04-14

Johnny Winter is one of the most unknown of the late 1960's/1970's guitar heroes. He also happens to be one of the best, right up there with Cream-era Clapton, Hendrix, and Jimmy Page. This is a live album from 1976 and usually can be found for a pittance. I remember listening to my dad's copy on vinyl before he got the CD when I was a kid in the late 1980's and being amazed. EVERY ONE of these songs has some unreal guitar work from Johnny, and the tone he gets on his guitar is Hendrix taken to the extreme, in some cases. His bandmates are fantastic, as well. I can't recommend only one track or a couple on here...THEY ALL ROCK and they're all amazing. GET THIS ALBUM NOW!

Enough with the missing banter complaints !.......2006-05-15

Sometimes consumers get exactly what they deserve. The big record companies are greedy individuals who would love nothing more than to charge all you Peter Allen fans $21.98 for ALL 82+ minutes of this two LP set. So a record company compromises the best way they can to give you ALL the music and SOME of the banter between songs and you all still complain.

The BIG labels did not even want to deal with this release so give Buddha credit and thanks for releasing it in the first place. Next, who in the world told you all to get rid of every LP or cassette that you owned. If you dumped all of them you quite likely got rid of some music that will never come out on CD. Listen to those if you want the entire thing.

The banter was excised so that YOU, the consumers, could get this worthy performance and ALL the original MUSIC at a fair price, like Amazon's 10.98. Despite the fact that Peter Allen is one of the few performers whose banter even mattered you have the essence of the performance. So enough with what is not there. Be thankful for what is there and buy it now before it disapperas forever.

Captures Allen at his best!.......2003-05-23

A great album from an underappreciated singer-songwriter who unfortunately is still more well-known for being Liza Minnelli's first husband. Allen was the consummate showman and a superb songwriter. Hearing him live is hearing him at his very best. He was one of those performers who thrived before a live audience and reveal so much more of themselves than on a recording. All of his best songs are here, including the sublime "Harbour". What a talent!

So happy to find this........2003-05-02

I had this cassette, but lost it and have been looking everywhere for a replacement. I ordered the CD and, although I agree with a previous reviewer that too much banter with the audience had been cut, the music is still so wonderful. It's hard to believe that he's gone. What an entertainer. His ballads are his specialty. I am so happy to once again have this in my collection.

I have mixed feelings about this re-release.......2000-03-28

When this recording was first released in the 1980s, it was a stupendous example of Peter Allen's skills as a songwriter and a performer. Unfortunately, this re-release is something of a hatchet job. Several sections of Peter Allen talking to the audience, explaining songs or just demonstrating his charming personality, have been mysteriously deleted. The songs are brilliant and deserve a good listen, because Peter Allen remains a sorely underrated musician. But the omission of Peter's interplay with the audience is a real disservice both to Peter Allen and his fans.

Peter Allen - Live at Carnagie Hall catches the excitement!.......1999-12-27

I first met Peter at the Colonial Tavern in Toronto on my 18th birthday ( I was legal in Ontario .) I'd first heard him on Riener Swartz's TVO show in March of 1975 and was very impressed at the jazzy/ broadway/ camp quality of his work soooo, I ventured down with a buddy of mine for a few drinks and some tunes. Paul Drake, the pianoman at the hotel Peter was staying & a long time, well respected jazzman was there and INSISTED on singing along. I insisted that he be quiet as I could hear him ANY time and Peter was only here for the week. I met Peter that night - we had a few jars, he sang 'Happy Birthday ' to me and we became friends - something you can't have enough of in this life! It was Wonderful! Peter was and is something that MUST be experienced live! He was new, fresh and exciting! His show, his presentation and his tunes were " new, deft little tunes that are both interesting and happy." Live at Carnagie Hall delivers some of what you would have seen. A performer at his best - live, up close and personal.To anyone that might consider purchasing this album - I strongly suggest that you do! Sadly, the Colonial is gone and so is Peter but they will both be remembered by those of us who had the pleasure of seeing him and knowing him.

I have all lucky Dube Albums,,,,, but this one is my favorite,,, and my personal best song is Peanut Butter, , , I was not a reggae fan before I heard this album,,, but since then,,,, I don't listen to any music except REGGAE,,, and specially LUCKY DUBE...

I LOVE this album.......2005-06-05

I traveled to Tanzania last fall and was introduced to Lucky Dube by some very kind Africans........so I bought one of Lucky's albums at a bus terminal in the middle of the desert, thinking it would be a nice memento of my trip........little did I know he would quickly become a favorite artist of mine, much more than a memento.

This is my best album of his, and one of the best albums that I own period. Maybe THE best. Peanut Butter, Slave, an incredible 16:00 version of Truth in the World, Born to Suffer, and I've Got Jah are personal favorites.

Lucky is Africa's all-time best-selling reggae artist but is still little-known in the US, amazingly. I work in a store and play this album once a week and always get people asking who the artist is......I guess all people need is to hear him and they're instantly converted--I encourage you to do the same if you've never heard him before. Empowering, beautiful music!

Roots Royalty.......2004-02-21

Lucky Dube rocks the world from the Caribs to Africa. Probably the only true modern roots master and definitely the best today.
Dont hesitate.

The Ya-Ya's of Live Reggae.......2001-10-23

Captured Live is one of the best Live CD's I own, regardless of category! "Peanut Butter" is worth buying the CD alone! The keyboards/horns at the beginning are rivaled only by the legendary solemn, yet upbeat opening of Marley's live version of "No Woman No Cry"! Dube's singing is genuinely passionate and the backup vocals are spot on!

Disharmonious "Harmony".......2006-09-27

Of the 3 Edsel repackages, this pairing of "Captured Live At The Forum" and "Harmony" is alternately just okay and then horrible. The reproduction of the audio from the live album is very boxy in quality, although part of this may be due to the circumstances of the era it was recorded (1969). However there can not be any excuses for the ridiculous extended edits performed on several songs from "Harmony," including "Never Been To Spain," "My Impersonal Life," & "Jam," where for some unknown reason pieces of the songs in question have been edited back in a second time in order to lengthen their running time - a complete unneeded travesty! Plus "My Impersonal Life" also leads off with obvious tape warble issues. Exceptionally substandard. Look for the original MCA cd issues.

Edsel should have left well enough alone.......2006-09-20

5 stars for the actual recording effort on the bands part...1 star for the remaster disaster on Edsels part

Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone......The bass is weak and muddy ...the mids are weak and notched way down...and the highs are excessively overdriven...to the point of being harsh and unlistenable..causing major listening fatigue.

I have waited for several months for the release of these 3 double cd sets by Edsel.....I just gave them a listen....and all three sets must have been done by the same guy.....a guy with a severe tin ear.

The booklet is excellent....but do yourself (and your ears) a favor....if you have the earlier cd vrsions....stick with them....they're head and shoulders above this.

Not their best.......2007-01-20

Have seen LC & the Nightcats several times; they are a brilliant live band. I don't believe the material included here touches on that brilliance.

You can't go wrong with L.C. and the Nightcats.......2001-06-27

To the reviewer who knocked this release for only having two worthwhile tracks: SHUT UP! You don't have a clue, pal! This is an excellent CD. All of Little Charlie's releases are great, and this is no exception. My personal favorite on "Captured Live" is "Smart Like Einstein". For me, there are a couple of tunes that aren't all that great, but overall it is just fine. Don't pay any attention to the editorial review, that guy is a bonehead!

For a Blues Fan,2 Fanastic Tracks, rest not exactly my style.......2001-01-12

Little Charlie Baty is an absolutely fabulous guitar player. 'Ten Years Ago' would have be to one of the best guitar pieces I have heard. 'Rain' also shows his talent. Unfortunately, the rest is a totally different style, being bouncy, humorous but much less intense, and only bordering on blues as I like it. However, the above two tracks still make it a worthwhile purchase.

"editorial opinion".......2000-02-01

Give it a listen. They are HOT! The bass sound is one of thebest, and may be the best I've ever heard.

These Cats are HOT!.......2000-01-30

This is a high quality live album with great sound and energy. It doesn't matter what track you listen to, the group displays a high threshold of talent. No matter what you call their music, or how you label them specifically, the fact is, these guys are cookin! They have a big bass sound here (not taking anything away from anyone else in the group) for whatever reason (mix, indivdual talent, etc.) complimenting the music without getting lost in the background as the bass in most music. Instead of the bass being "featured", from time to time, it's there on every track. You can't help but move, or boogie listening to this album and the only way to describe them here is that they are HOT!
