The last time Bruce Springsteen gave up E Street for Folk Street, the band of fiddles, banjos, and accordions--sans audience--was recording 2006's We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions in the informality of his living room. This time the Boss takes his American-music foray to Ireland for a three-night stint on the north quay of Dublin's River Liffey. The 23 songs drawn from those performances cover most of the songs from the Pete Seeger tribute, but venture drastically into Springsteen's popular back catalog ("Atlantic City," "Highway Patrolman," "Blinded By the Light") while delving further into his affinity for multiple styles of music, from folk and blues to gospel and country. "If I Should Fall Behind" plays like a tear-jerking last call in a dimly lit pub. "Open All Night" has been shaped into pure swing, complete with pedal steel and sax. And "Jesse James," with its furious banjo, spectator handclaps, and Springsteen howl, could pass for the Pogues, circa 1985. A simultaneously released DVD uses nine cameras to capture every sweat-beaded highlight, from the tin whistle of "Further Up the Road" to an arena bursting out in a "We Shall Overcome" singalong. --Scott Holter

Sinking Down.......2007-07-29
Bruce continues on his road to irrelevance. The further he gets away from his roots, New Jersey, etc. the less he is worth spending time with. He seems to want to be the bard of the new left, to take residence in pretention row. Come back to Wildewood!
The Boss is the Best !.......2007-07-29
Unbelievably great, this CD is the best thing he has ever done.And it even includes the song I now want played at my funeral,"Further on up the road".I wish I had been there!
Great fun with something to think about.......2007-07-28
Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions; Band Live In Dublin.
If you were lucky enough to see Bruce on this tour you have an idea how fun this Cd is. Like any great artists Springsteen can give you something fun with a little extra to think about. In some cases as with Born In The USA most listeners didn't understand what he was saying at all. I saw Sting a fews years back and he mentioned his dismay at how people have interpreted Every Breath You Take as a love song and some couples were actually using it as a wedding song.
The Dublin Sessions is a 2 disc set filled with many of the folk songs from the Seeger Sessions, full of defiance, perseverance and struggle. The hole CD is reminiscent of a John Steinbeck novel. Somehow Springsteen takes all this heaviness and makes it fun to listen to. The live shows were great fun filled with that tinge in the back of your mind reminding you about the horrors of war and the plight of the common man.
I had wondered why Bruce had decided to record the concert in Dublin. I thought maybe he was continuing his trip around the world, Asbury Park, E Street, Nebraska, USA and Dublin. When I heard Mrs. McGrath I knew in an instant why he picked Dublin and it was a great choice.
Some of the best parts of this CD are of Springsteen's own tunes recorded live with the "Sessions Band" Atlantic City, Gowin' Up and Blinded By The Light all have a fresh and unusual that you should find exciting.
Live In Dublin.
Obviously, he was having a good time.......2007-07-22
I almost didn't buy "Live in Dublin" because it contained several songs I already had on "We Shall Overcome." However, due to the fact that my daughter gave me a gift certificate for my birthday and the price was right ($11.99), I felt I had nothing to lose.
Clearly, The Boss was having a good time in Dublin. His voice cracks, croaks and groans at times, but it's still vintage Springsteen. The backup band is outstanding. Normally, you couldn't mix bluegrass fiddles with a horn section on a single recording. But somehow, they pull it off - and it sounds great.
He also completely rearranges "Atlantic City" and "Blinded By the Light" to the point where they're all new songs. You have to play the haunting "When the Saints Go Marching In" a few times to enjoy it.
My personal favorites are "Long Time Coming" and "Further Down the Road," although there are only a few songs that I consider filler crap.
Crank it up. It's summer. It's definitely Springsteen.
Powerful, raucous, joyful, heartbreaking.......2007-07-13
I'll echo the other reviewers and say that this is undoubtedly the best live CD I've ever heard, a testament to a combination of the music, lyrics, players, and timeliness of the message.
Springsteen is almost impossible to review, but I'll just say that, as much as I loved the Rising, Live in Barcelona, and Devils and Dust, the Seeger Sessions and this live album have taken him into a musical stratosphere that maybe only Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson can touch -- pure Americana.
Most of the other reviewers have adequately pointed out the highlights, but I'll say that the mournful dirge that the band transformed "When the Saints Come Marching In" to made tears stream down my face when I first heard this version, especially as it comes in the set after "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live". Folk music is as relevant as it ever was.
If you like any strain of Americana roots music -- blues, folk, jazz, gospel, Western swing, roots country, mountain/Scots/Irish music -- this concert will blow you away and make you sing with the crowd.

I was there.......2007-08-03
I was at the second show and it was awful the band didn't seem to like to have to play with there singer drinking six packs like the coneheads or talking about exposing himself or climbing on the pa speakers to jam his mike into them so they would feed back the worst show i ever went to
Alot of fun if you don't mind a drunken Jimbo!.......2007-07-31
I'm writing this review so those who are skeptical or hesitant about purchasing this release might better appreciate what to do instead of regretting it later. The shows recorded at Boston were part of a number of shows professionally recorded by the band for a future live release. Jim was an alcoholic and he did get drunk at SOME of the Doors live performances. If you don't want to hear what a drunk Jim Morrison sounds like, then definitely purchase Live at Detroit and you will get a much better performance from Morrison and the band in general. However, if you dare cross the line and dwell in the "loose palace of exile" you might find yourself surprisingly entertained by the Doors live at Boston. First off, the mix of this recording definitely fits the setting. The Doors played in an arena and what you get is "arena sound." It makes for great listening if you turn it WAY UP!!! John Densmore's drums are mixed front and center and it sounds great! As for the shows:
The howl and moan by Jim at the start of the first set is quite a pleasure to listen to and it sets the stage for a ballsy Road House Blues which follows immediately after. Ship of Fools is well performed by the band and Jim is able to sing most of the lyrics, albeit in inebriated form. I won't review each and every song but sufficit to say, as long as you don't mind the grunts and slurs and yells by Jimbo, and you crank this recording LOUD, you will have a FUN TIME! No one in the audience could have cared less if Jimbo was drunk as a skunk! The Doors bravely carry on, juiced Jimbo and all. In the second set, Jim is even drunker BUT he's capable of reciting poetry, (graveyard poem) and it's a beautiful one at that! He also raps with the audience and you get the feel of BEING in the audience thanks to Bruce Botnick's sound mix. I can imagine how the audience was having a fun time at this show and were rightly PISSED OFF when the management cut the power because the Doors went "overtime" When you hear Jimbo say "cocksuckers" once the power is cut, you can hear how upset the audience was at seeing the Doors being prevented from playing further!
The Doors don't perform every song well and do show some noticeable deficiencies and you can hear some flubs in many of the tunes performed. But hey, this is LIVE and not every show is going to be performed to PERFECTION. If you want a more "perfect LIVE Doors experience" than go purchase "Absolutely Live." This is Live in BOSTON and the suds flow during this show and Jimbo has a whale of a time performing live in front of his fans. This is a must release for hardcore Doors fans and an important release to fill in the picture of Jim Morrison, one of the more complicated, colorful and talented artists of the late 1960's.
I was there!.......2007-07-31
I was actually at the early show presented on this set and had to buy the CD to relive the memory of the best concert I've ever attended to this day. I still tell friends about how drunk Jim was and some of the things he said between songs so it's a thrill to now have it all documented. This time capsule is one of the best gifts a record company has ever produced, as far as I'm concerned.
Not as good as expected.......2007-07-30
Ah, poor Jim M., if he'd only stayed away from tobacco, alcohol and other dangerous drugs, he'd probably still be around AND this collection wouldn't have been so bad! I think this release could have left out the part about Jim's wanting to exhibit his "goods", too!
Really Awful.......2007-07-26
I was excited when I saw this CD set was coming out. I bought The Doors In Concert several years ago, so I was hoping this was more of the same. When I listened to this new release, I couldn't have been more disappointed. Jim Morrison is so obliterated through most of it that he mumbles lyrics and is totally out of key. I guess the surviving members of the band must be hard up for money to put something like this out there. Frankly, they'd have to pay me to keep a copy. Don't waste your money.

There's a reason Barbra Streisand's 2006 tour broke the arena house record in every city it visited, and it's because she's not only a legend but (still) a performer who effortlessly twists intimacy and friendliness and fierceness into a perfect, sturdy braid. This two-disc set, which pulls performances from dates in New York, Washington, D.C., and Fort Lauderdale, will raise its share of goosebumps. For longtime fans, they'll be a reaction to songs Streisand hasn't touched since the '70s and earlier, including "(Have I Stayed) Too Long At the Fair?" and "Unusual Way," from the Broadway musical Nine. For relative newbies, they'll be a response to her between-song patter, which touches with grace, wit, and sincerity on everything from her love for her son to her political leanings to her limitations as songwriter. The voice, of course, enthralls--there it is glowing on "Carefully Taught," one of four songs that have never before appeared on a Streisand recording, and there it is again wrapping luxurious tones all around "Evergreen," one of three songs she shares with Il Divo. Streisand--diva, political dynamo, superstar--still knows how to orchestrate a showstopper. --Tammy La Gorce

Another concert album.......2007-07-18
I love Barbra and her music. I went to see her concert last year, so I bought this CD set to remind of that moment. While all her albums are a joy to listen to, I found this one to be more of the same. Some of her concert albums from the 1990s are better and more powerful. Her voice is not quite as strong, she does not hold those notes quite as long. Didn't care much for her backup band, Il Divo. Nevertheless, the album is a delight.
Wrong To Be Profane.......2007-07-14
Despite habitually retractable tentative hints of private integrity and partly with a guise of ignorance regarding sacred sexualities in marital contexts, Ms. Streisand has, apparently yearning for ethical integrities of others and herself, completed another celebration of my and her own conceptions. I have neither attended any of her concerts nor, as of yet, watched any record of these from 2006, though I both watched her portral in New York City at the Winter Garden Theater of Ms. Fanny Brice and found most of this 2-CD set comparable to that 2-stars (rated) portrayal; some of the rest is so astonishingly beautiful, particularly the first 4 tracks of CD 2 involving the birthdays of Jason G. and his mother, it makes this set worthy of placement beside some of the music composed by Gustav Mahler, who referred to the deaths of some children musically.
STREISAND STILL THE BEST!.......2007-07-13
Barbara Streisand and Il Divo what more could you ask for! Her best album in years and with Il Divo on numbers like There's A Place For Us it gives you chills. Buy this and you will enjoy it full volume year after year!
Not the Best of Barbra.......2007-07-07
Streisand's lastest CD, *Guilty Pleasures* was a feast of songs she had never sung before, and a reunion with Barry Gibb, who writes for Barbra in a more contemporary way than the Bergmans or Marvin Hamlisch. It is a great CD, and her voice is sublime, aided, of course, by sound technicians. All artists owe their sound engineers their careers though. She and Barry have fun on it--it's fresh and alive. Not so much with the 2006 Concert CD, a recording of the concert tour, replete with IL Divo, a mostly unnecessary addition. They are wooden men with BIG, BORING voices.
From the beginning, Babs sounds tired, hoarse and raspy. I saw her in concert, where she sometimes sounded even worse than this recording. The engineers cleaned it up as well as they could, leaving more than a hint of breathiness and weariness. Fortunately, only about half of the songs are weakly rendered; the other half really are terrific experiences. I have no idea what is going on with her voice that from song to song there could be such differences, but if I were Streisand I would leave the belting behind. It wouldn't hurt for her to warm up before she comes onstage, not as she is giving the concert. For any price, a fan would expect the performer to be well prepared. When she sings a soft ballad, she often soars, and her magic is prominent. It's painful to watch her crumble under the memory of her once youthful voice (and it was only a few years ago that she sounded like a 25 year old songstress). Streisand knows how to play a song for all its worth, but she sometimes tramples it to death. *Don't Rain in My Parade* is just not what it used to be. She hits high notes, but without the characteristic force. And she can hold the notes, or seem to, when she takes little breaks before each song's finale. Her phrasing is impeccable when she is giving it all she has to give, but too often she seems bored. This is not a bad CD, just not as inspired as *The Concert.*
It also has to be said that it seems apparent Streisand is not taking care of her God-given voice, one she herself has said that she takes for granted (unimaginable!!).
The chatter inbetween songs is dull and preachy, and it was exactly the same in every city, except for blabbering about the fattening food she ate all across the US (excluded from the CD, thank the Lord). The fans are really the stars on this CD--they roar constantly, as if they had been starving to see Streisand all their lives. It's an odd treat. The orchestra is incredible, but live, it drowns her out at times (as does IL Divo). This recording does not relfect that though.
If you do not own *The Concert* CD, buy it and skip this one. This CD is for avid, adoration-is-blind Streisand fans only and those keeping track of Streisand's vocal history..
Streisand: Live in Concert (2 CD's).......2007-06-27
Whenever I hear Barbra sing it feels as if I were listening to an angel....The depth of her voice, the feeling she caries in every song she sings makes you fall in love, feel despair, feel hapinness or sadness....She is capable of making you feel the letter of her songs....A true Diva....My only regret is that I will never be able to see her live.....I hope they make a DVD of this concert so I can see her perform live at least on the TV set...

Springsteen Loves Making Music And It Shows Here.......2007-07-26
This CD/DVD combo records Springsteen's tour in support of his album, The Seeger Sessions.
Springsteen tours with a 13-piece band including banjos, accordions, tin whistles, and occasional E-Street fiddler Soozie Tyrell,
The result is a romp through much of the Seeger Sessions album along with some radical reinventions of Springsteen's own material, all performed in front of a super-hot crowd at the Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland.
The crowd starts singing the opening chorus of "Old Dan Tucker" and they go absolutely nuts for the Irish sound of "American Land". In between, Bruce turns "Open All Night" into a raucous big band swing number. He turns the rocker "Further On Up the Road" into gospel and transforms "If I Should Fall Behind" (our wedding song!) into a waltz.
"Growin' Up", "Atlantic City", and "Blinded By the Light" also get new arrangements, and Springsteen sings a straightforward and powerful version of his rarity "Highway Patrolman".
He sings songs from the Depression era such as "Jesse James" and "My Oklahoma Home" and then reworks the lyrics to the 1929 Blind Alfred Reed song "How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live?" into a scathing condemnation of the US government's handling of Hurricane Katrina. A slowed-down "When the Saints Go Marching In" later in the show also evokes the Big Easy.
One of the oddest surprises in the mix is "Love of the Common People", a minor hit for Paul Young in the '80s that Springsteen does pretty much straight-up.
The video is technically excellent. The only thing it adds that isn't on the audio CDs is am impromptu backstage jam of "Cadillac Ranch" as the credits roll.
What I enjoyed most about this album is how much fun Bruce and his band are having. This is a performance by musicians who have a great love of making music and it truly shows.

This dual disc package (DVD & CD) is an excellent way to get a real feel for what this show in Dublin must have been like. The Boss was energetic and you could tell that he had a lot of fun with this project. The music is fun, yet serious, and so much so that even my 3 and 5 yr old kids LOVE the Seeger Sessions music!

"The fact is when Bruce kicked off at 20.30 pm on that Friday night in The Point Theatre, he played non-stop right to the very end very few performers can sustain such intensity and carry a gig off that would be to us punters unforgettable those night were UNFORGETTABLE!!!!!!!I thought Bruce was never gonna stop and the highlight of the night Bruce lying exhausted over the top of the piano as if he had not a breath left in the world. Dublin was a case of the time the music and the performer - A MOMEMT IN TRUE HISTORY FOR DUBLIN TOWN." IrishJohnny
"Live In Dublin' was one of those once in a lifetime events that we all wish we had attended. Every reviewer sings praise for this CD and DVD. Veteran concert goers and reviewers say this was the best concert they had ever attended. That is all well and good, but in the end Bruce Springsteen and the Sessions Band care about their fans. You can hear the fans singing along, 'Pay Me My Money Down ', 'Further On Up The Road', 'Erie Canal' and then there is 'Mrs McGrath' an obvious Irish favorite. Just when you think this CD could not get any better, the Boss kicks it up a notch. In fact I was singing along with the rest of'em. The ambience that the live audience gives to this CD is palpable. Springsteen and the audience must have shared the energy and the vibes from the Irish. You can feel the excitement in the air. I thought the Seeger CD was one of the Boss's best CD's, but the 'Live In Dublin' is undoubtabley the best. As my best friend has said, "This is one of the top five CD's ever".
Bruce Springsteen's manager Jon Landau said, "'Live in Dublin' charts the development of a band from an informal gathering in Bruce's living room to an onstage powerhouse. It also documents the growth in Bruce's vision of American music; it includes folk music, blues, Dixieland, country, swing, gospel, rock, down to and including his own writing. It's all performed with Bruce's classic energy and focus. I think it's some of the finest music he's ever made." The 23 songs on this CD are the best of the best. Included are many from his Seegers CD. They all belong in Springsteen's chest of dreams.
This CD and DVD are memorial for the emotions that are so evident in every song. Songs like the antiwar "Mrs. McGrath" and "O Mary Don't You Weep" benefit from these in-concert performances, "and a 17-piece band allows Springsteen to freewheel onto back roads" said Marty Lance. "If I Should Fall Behind" becomes a lovely waltz, "Open All Night" swings like Bob Wills, and "Growin' Up" and "Blinded by the Light" are new arrangements. "The high point, however, just might be "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live," the 1929 Blind Alfred Reed song that Springsteen has retrofitted with new lyrics about the government's bungling of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath. Bruce's connection to folk protest deepens, on the rewrite of "How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live". A Depression era classic that Springsteen found on a Ry Cooder album and then amended with his own brilliantly Bush-baiting verse is perhaps the most politically extreme and, as hammered home here, exultant performance of his career." Even more wonderful is "Eyes On The Prize", sung with Mark Anthony Thompson. "If I Should Fall Behind", a duet with Patty Sciafla, is one of my favorites, and "When The Saints Go Marching In" and "This Little Light Of Mine" rock free and easy. "In short, it's everything Springsteen's big-hearted thoughtfully impassioned take on Americana ever set out to be. Swing out sisters and brothers, swing out."

Columbia Records released 'Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band Live in Dublin' a concert DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and separate two-CD set release, as well as a combination DVD/CD package. The two-CD set, DVD and Blu-ray Disc each feature 23 songs drawn from the band's performances in Dublin, Ireland at The Point on November 17, 18 and 19, 2006. The DVD can be seen on selected PBS stations and a glorious DVD it is;. PBS shouold reel in the cash after viewing this marvelous DVD.
There are not enough superlatives in my repetoire to register the delight of this CD. I have played it many times and will soon listen again.
The New Boss Lives On.
Highly Heartily Recommended. prisrob 06-05-07

bruce morphing?.......2007-06-23
Back in the 70's and 80's I used to purchase all Bruce's records, collect all his bootleg albums, stand in line sometimes overnight to get tickets to his shows ... Ah! you get the picture.
But once the Born in the USA tour was over, Bruce went down the tubes (in my book). Yeah, he still did some great shows, but those memories faded fast. He seemed to be getting an attitude.
Here, however, he seems to have once again captured some of his earlier energy and commitment to the fans. This double-cd is great! He definitely has regained his knack (here) for musical arrangements that'll stand the test of time.
If you are a floundering Bruce fan, get this one; it'll be one cd you'll wear out. Well worth the money.

A Truly Anointed CD.......2007-07-30
This is a repeat listener. You will not be able to stop listening to this CD. Trust me, this CD is Outstanding.
Classy.......2007-07-03
This is a nice set of music. You will be uplifted and won't be disappointed.
Simply Beautiful.......2007-05-28
I bought this project after hearing a few samples and I knew this CD had to be in my collection.
The production on this CD is simply and not overdone; the harmonies and the instrumentation are beautiful in a way that incorporates you in the presence of God.
Buy this CD and you will not be disappointed...
This was not recorded live in Kenya..........2007-05-15
Good music here...great presentation. But this was not recorded in Kenya - as the album states. It was instead recorded live at the Potter's House in Dallas with some instrumentation recorded in the studio. I know...it's disappointing to hear that. By the way, most of these songs are covers...not original songs. Several artists have recorded these songs and that hurts the album's value a bit. But the choir sounds very good and there's some great singing on board.
HIghly recommended.......2007-05-09
If you love Africa and you love gospel music then this is for you! Bishop Jakes features in great form but so do the Potter's House choir, with their forays into Kiswahili much appreciated by the Kenyan audience. My own favourite tracks go from the energy of 'Celebrate' to the fervour of 'Grace' and the invitation to victory in 'Praise is my weapon'. I hope there will be more CD's of this quality and Biblical accuracy.

Amazon.com essential recording
One of the greatest concert recordings of all time. How could it be less, with B.B. King performing some of his best material before a literally captive audience in an Illinois prison? "Worry, Worry" and "How Blue Can You Get" take on deeper meanings here, although King works the latter's camp lyrics as if he were in a juke joint. His mix of down-home humility and commanding stagecraft is instantly appealing. And his guitar barks, sings, and squeals with such authority that this is a bravura performance from the first bent, soul-searing note. A true desert-island disc. --Ted Drozdowski
Customer Reviews:
BB in Action.......2006-11-08
B. B. King is more than a talented musician and songwriter, he is a phenomenal entertainer as well. He works a crowd like few others with his obvious love for people and his devotion to giving his best. This album captures BB as he is best, live and in action. He does not need light shows or other props to sell his work, he just plays and sings with a style and an infectious joy that few entertainers can match. One of his best albums.
Arguably B.B. King's Best.......2006-01-14
Fans often call B.B. King the king of the blues guitar, but if B.B. were only a brilliant guitarist he wouldn't be a household name for decades. B.B. King is also a powerful singer, a terrific interpreter of others' material, an effective bandleader and - most importantly - a thoroughly professional entertainer. You can experience all B.B. King's sides on the "Cook County Jail" CD.
Virtually every cut on the CD is a powerhouse. Although the Cook County Jail setting might lead one to expect that B.B. King would play up the outlaw aspects of the blues (the way that Johnny Cash did with his prison LPs), B.B. takes the opposite approach. He delivers a well-rehearsed and utterly professional show. It must have seemed a revelation to rock fans, as most blues-rock concerts at the time were notoriously sloppy affairs. But it's what we expect from B.B. King. He may define himself as a bluesman, but B.B. applied many lessons learned from tight jazz combos.
For the uninitiated, the strong performances of B.B. King's best-known hits "Sweet Sixteen" and the "Thrill is Gone" will be the selling points, but every track has its delights. For me, the strongest moment comes with "How Blue Can You Get?" Here, we clearly get to experience how B.B. King is able to feed off the energy of a responsive audience, to the point where the inmates are practically bandmembers. When we hear their laughter and applause, we know that B.B. King has won over one of the most difficult audiences to please. Every solo on the CD is well-constructed, and at no time does B.B. allow himself to become self-indulgent.
The CD's short running time is the only deficit. While appropriate for an early 1970s LP, this is one short concert by modern CD standards. It would be nice to see this CD reissued with material cut from the original release (as is the usual trend for live album reissues), but there is no denying this is one of the very few live albums worth revisiting again and again. It belongs in the collection of anyone who truly loves post-war blues.
Best of BB King.......2005-09-18
This CD captures the very essence of what makes Blues Boy King the King of the Blues. The power of BB's music thunders througout the CD. This album has the best rendition of "The Thrill is Gone" I have ever heard, and I've heard just about all the versions he has done over the years. You can almost see him crooning to the microphone with his eyes closed, and Lucille gives this song so much more with her solo at the end. If anything buy this CD for the "The Thrill is Gone"; as soon as you get it turn it up, sit down and close your eyes...
Eh.......2004-09-01
I don't get it.
I had high hopes for this CD. Every review I've read, including the editorial review here at Amazon, has been jubilant, and "Live In Cook County Jail" is certainly not a bad record, but it's not great either, and at times it's barely even good.
I have an awful lot of blues albums, and I like to think that I know good blues when I hear it, but I just can't figure out what it is that people find so appealing about this recording.
Sure, King does a very good rendition of his trademark "The Thrill Is Gone" and plays excellent guitar on a great reading of "How Blue Can You Get", but "Every Day I Have The Blues" is marred by bland vocals and horrible drumming (easily the most annoying ever heard on a blues record!).
As for the rest of the seven songs, "Worry, Worry" trails off into long, sometimes tedious improvisations and is badly mixed. The first half of the medley "3 O'Clock Blues / Darlin' You Know I Love You" is pretty good, but "Darlin' You Know I Love You" is more jazz ballad than blues, and while I enjoy a good jazz ballad, I don't expect to find them on blues records. Besides, this one is not really that good either.
King does a good job with "Sweet Sixteen", but the album winds down with a closing number, "Please Accept My Love", which doesn't feel like it belongs on a blues album...there's more pop than blues to it.
All in all, there is some good and some bad on this album, and quite a lot in between. King's playing on "How Blue Can You Get" and "The Thrill Is Gone" rivals anything he's ever done, but those two songs by themselves are not enough to make this a great album.
When BB is on.......2004-08-31
This is one of those concerts where BB is on fire with a very good crowd that was happy to see him. While BB is usually very good in concert some nights he is just on fire and this is one of them.

Rockin' better than ever!.......2006-11-28
Get this CD (and DVD too)! It has the hits and coupled with the energy of a live performance it brings the songs to a higher level. I was lucky enough to see them during this tour and liked it better than their tours during their heyday in the mid-90's. Leave the "band du jour masses" and stick with an honest band with heart still producing excellent music!
My secret guilty pleasure.......2006-09-30
Although I typically prefer my music to come for the 60's and 70's, I have to say that Hootie and the Blowfish are my secret guilty pleasure. I just love this band. Love the songs, the members, the voices - just the whole package. I also prefer Live recordings versus studio recordings. I have everything I love in this CD. Thanks guys for a great show!

A blueprint for the early-'70s Laurel Canyon sound, Judee Sill's short-lived star was still shining brightly when she pulled into London for a pair of live shows in 1972 and 1973, recorded by the BBC. Sill performing entirely solo, her saintly voice is escorted only by acoustic guitar or piano on a playlist culled wholly from her 1971 self-titled debut and 1972's Heart Food. Only an eager audience's response between tracks and Sill's own timid introductions of what lies next remind you that the album is live. Apologizing for her thick accent, she tells of hearing "Lady-O" on the radio as recorded by the Turtles, her dreams of space-age raptures turning up in "Enchanted Sky Machines," and how "Down Where the Valleys Are Low" channels '50s R&B into a "religious love song." Then she utterly nails the diffident beauty so prevalent on her studio recordings, such as the meandering vocals of "Jesus Was a Crossmaker" and the nursery-rhyming "Lamb Ran Away with the Crown." Sill's nearly five-minute interview with the BBC's Bob Harris is a bonus, and a haunting peek into a future cut far too short. --Scott Holter
Album Description
Nearly 30 years after her passing Judee Sill remains one of the most important and singular talents of the Laurel Canyon scene. Her two releases for David Geffen's Asylum (1971's Judee Sill and 1973's Heart Food) are critically celebrated masterpieces of orchestral folk. Her songs have been covered by artists as diverse as The Turtles and Will Oldham and her fans include Jim O'Rourke, Devendra Banhart, Graham Nash, Sleater-Kinney and more. This amazing collection of previously unreleased live recordings from the BBC archives features beautiful versions of some of her most well known songs including ''Jesus Was A Cross Maker,'' ''Lady-O,'' ''The Kiss'' and more. Recorded in 1972 and 1973 at the peak of her talent, the tracks on this collection are from solo performances featuring Sill on vocals, piano and guitar. Absolutely stunning.

Customer Reviews:
Skippable Yet Great.......2007-07-05
This is not a great starting point for a new Judee Sill listener - those people should get her two albums, Judee Sill and Heart Food. And it's not necessarily something that a person who has those two albums will find worthwhile to have - there are no songs not on those albums, many of the songs included in these various live sessions are duplicated, and there are too many great songs from the first two albums that aren't represented (The Archetypal Man, The Desperado, et al). But having said all of that, I love this CD. Even though the live versions of the songs are not much different than the studio versions, it's a pleasure to listen Judee sitting there by herself, with just a guitar and piano, playing these sublime folk songs. And in her introductions to the songs, as well as the interview with Bob Harris, she sounds endearingly nervous, totally and painfully honest, and like the songs mean the world to her. Judee Sill is like a Joni Mitchell with much more danger around her. Judee was all these things in her short life: a reform school girl, a junkie, a prostitute, an acid head, a heartbroken lover, a supremely gifted songwriter, musician, and vocalist. She was a visionary. She was the first artist to have an album put out on David Geffen's Asylum Records, she was produced by Graham Nash, her songs were covered by the Hollies and the Turtles . . . yet her recording career never really took off. Judee Sill is a wonder, somebody who was just too troubled and too tragic to last long in this life. Her songs initially strike you as pleasant little folk tunes, but as you listen more the lyrics and the arrangements start to get into your head, and eventually you realize you are listening to something both beautiful and otherworldly. Get this disc to hear Judee perform live and to hear her talk, and if you don't have the first two albums, go get them as well.
Extraordinary performances, essential for fans.......2007-06-24
This is great. If no new songs, it's still marvelous to get the purity of Judee with just guitar or piano accompaniment. And the interviews are cool too, & informative about her attitude and POV. Some songs like "The Kiss" take on even more beautiful aspects I think. Maybe not the place to start for newcomers to her or
casual fans perhaps, but marvelous to have.

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09
Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.
Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02
Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.
A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06
John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.
There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.
Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11
Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.
" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06
This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!
Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!
Total Time: 258:76 on 56 Tracks ~ SSD-1128 ~ (2001)
You might try other albums from Silva Screen, all worthy of a good listen ~ "The Essential James Bond" (SSD-1034)..."Bond:Back In Action" (SSD-1100)..."Bond:Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)..."Zulu" (SSD-1095)..."Raise The Titanic" (SSD-1102)..."Walkabout" (SSD-1120)...check out my reviews on amazon.com/music.
