The live attempts at recreating the seminal jam chemistry of Super Session were hit-and-miss affairs, and this one, previously unreleased, has its fair share of off-key and off-target tunes. The rhythm section is erratic, the repertoire--ranging from Simon & Garfunkel's "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" to an Elvis-flavored "That's All Right Mama"--is a bit odd, and co-leader Al Kooper is competent but rarely inspired. Guitarist Michael Bloomfield, however, is uniformly brilliant and his graceful blues virtuosity is by itself well worth the price of admission. Bloomfield and the group are joined on B.B. King's "It's My Own Fault" by a then-unknown Johnny Winter and things get really interesting. For nearly 11 minutes Winter and Bloomfield dive deep into the blues with Winter astounding the audience with his vocals and lightning licks on a song that had long been a staple of his live shows in Texas. The remainder of the album lacks similar energy and excitement, but Bloomfield's guitar work keeps it listenable. Overall, The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper, recorded several months earlier, provides a better look at the band's concert sound but it does so without Winter. --Michael Point

Album Description

The complete smash album featuring Kooper, Stills and Bloomfield at Fillmore East December 13th, 1968, here reissued & remastered with liner notes by Al Kooper. Columbia/Legacy. 2003.

Customer Reviews:

Can listen to some cuts over and over..........2007-07-18

This is a must have CD for Bloomfield/Kooper fans. I was a little disappointed by some of the seemingly out of place tunes (feeling groovy? Season of the witch?) but the guitar work is killer and its live and crisp.

'One Way Out' kicks things off with ferocious guitar work. *****

'Intro to Johnny Winter'... historical *****

'Its my own fault' Excellent *****

'Please tell me partner. Bluesy, slow, 10 minute jam. Bloomfield showing the limitations of his vocals but still a vintage and electrifying piece of guitar work. Wamba-jamba. *****

'Thats all Right'. Thats alright mama. *****

'Together till the end of time'. Very dated. They should have replaced this with another Johnny Winter cut. Slow, melodramatic, romantic? Nausea. **

'Don't throw your love on me so strong' Yet another fantastic bluesy hard driving guitar tune albeit suffering only from Mike's vocal limitations. But man can he play guitar.

I'd keep 5 of 10 songs for a personal custom cd...

al kooper, michael bloomfield .......2007-03-21

super session i already had many years ago and it is great but lost concert at fillmore is out of this world . i cant get enough of it . all cds arrived quickly and i love doing business that way . hassle free .

A very mix bag with one exception........2007-02-17

There is a reason why this album took 30 years to reach the outside world. The majority of the album is not that good. However it does have one hugh thing going for it, Track 4- "It's my own fault". The reason this track stands out is that introduced, at least at this time, a unknown quitarist to the world. The next day he was awarded a recording contract. His name is Johnny Winters. He was the high point of this album. If you are a fan of the Winters brother, this should be added to your collection.

As for the rest of the album, Overall the sound quiality was clean and good. Better then most live albums coming out of this period. The problem was the players. The bassist and drummer was all over the place and never together. Al Kooper keyboards was almost non existant. Bloomfield had some great licks, however not enought to save this album. If you are a fan of Kooper/Bloomfield and have the Filmore West live and the Super Session CD, then this one will round out the trio. If you just getting started, go with the studio version.

caricias de guitarra que todavia lastiman la indiferencia............2006-11-07

testimonio unico de una noche en donde la guitarra de bloomfield justifica la leyenda del gran guitarrista blanco....... todo lo demas no cuenta...creeme, el sonido de esa guitarra es unico, te persigue donde vayas..no importa la banda, el baterista que se pierde, los vocales que no lucen, algunos temas flojos...no importa, la guitarra esta ahi, tejiendo aullidos en el aire de esa noche que magicamente esta a nuestra disposicion a traves de esta edicion imperdible.

Bloomfield's finest moments.......2006-11-06

Michael Bloomfield is perhaps, next to Johnny Winter, the greatest white blues guitarist ever. This CD showcases his ability to play and shake notes like no other could. I have listened to blues for over 35 years, but when I heard this CD, I said "Wow, this is incredible" This Cd will not disappoint anyone, it reflects Michael Bloomfield at his best!

Compilations don't come better than this..........2007-07-30

This isn't really an album from Nas, its more of a compilation from recordings during Stillmatic and I Am... and a few were made recently. When you hear the album all the through, you can pick out the songs from when they were recorded. Anyway, this is just wonderful piece of music done by Nasir. Let's breakdown the album...

We start off with the wonderful tuned, "Doo Rags". Just solid and deep lyrics done by Nas. Makes you think especially that Ray Charles line and the prison style line. Standout. "My Way" seems to be a deep track, recalling when no one wanted him to do anything and he went out on his own way, not giving a damn and now everyone wants his money. "U Gotta Love It" is the best song so far, the 'album' keeps getting better and better. Vocal sample from AZ, too bad he couldn't spit a few lines. Still a nice song to go back and listen to. "Nothing Lasts Forever" is another reason why Nas can do whatever he wants as long as he can tell a story. Not really bragging but he speaks about his money and his old ways. The message is just what the title says. He becomes rich, goes back to the hood and so everyone hates him. The hood changed. Standout. "No Ideas Original", Nas lays down some nice lyrics, even though this isn't the first time he talks about the materialism in the world, it seems like this is Hip Hop Is Dead Part I. My only complain is the unhype beat, but you don't even notice after you hear Nas spit his first four bars, you just gotta continue to listen. "Blaze A 50" is one of, if not, the best tracks in Nas's career. Doesn't take a break, straight fire, over 50 bars. Telling a story about greed, love and murder. Unbelievable. "Everybody's Crazy" is decent but personally, I don't like it. "Purple", I have no complain. Wonderful track. "Drunk by Myself" is just that. Story of a man being drunk in a car and about to kill himself. He changes his mind...but its too late. Standout. "Black Zombies" seems to be a recently made track by Nas. He shows us his political views. "Poppa Was A Player" talks about Nas's father getting around and his fights with Nas's mom. He thanks him and Nas's mom for being there even though they always fought. I praise him for this...*tear*. Great. On "Fetus", Nas continues his story telling skills. Talking as if he is an unborn baby, amazing done! Standout.

Closing Comments: I wouldn't really say this is a classic, but its filled with amazing songs.The only complain I have is "Everybody's Crazy". Its the only song I personally don't like. Other than that, everything is well above average and yes, this has classic songs but it isn't a classic. You should get it if you're a Nas fan or like hiphop. If you wanna get into Nas, get Illmatic. 4.5 stars.

-Peace

Yep, classic.......2007-06-24

This is a straight up hip hop classic. Some of Nas's best verses are on this album.

Nice..........2007-05-28

I bought this album in 2002 and when I listened to it, I figured that it was alright, let my brother see, and kinda forgot about it. But, recently, I got the album back and gave it a listen. I was surprised by how good it was. It's a really cool album and Nas is noted for his lyrical skill which really shines throughout the album. My two favorite songs are Doo Rags and Nothing Lasts Forever. Doo Rags is just a cool, mellow joint that you can just chill to. Nothing Lasts forever, I love the message of everything constantly changing, nothing stays the same forever. That song always gets to me when I listen to it. Still, this is a very good album. I dig!

Even Nas' throwaways are lethal....................2007-04-17

Gotta give it up to the mad scientist Nasir. This is the only guy in my opinion that really holds down the old school and reps for the history of the genre. Nas is def no sellout.

The Lost Tapes.......2007-02-26

I think this was a good CD. Most of the songs are great lyricwies,but beat wise I think there could have been some improvements here and there. Now I know that it sounds good on a track to add a few piano loops, but on almost every song on this CD contains a piano loopo of some sort. It only works well on some tracks like "Doo Rags","Purple"(my favorite), and "U Gotta Luv It". Tthe other tracks are just OK in terms on production, not great."Blaze a 50" and "Drunk By Myself" are pretty solid. The Alchemist-produced "No Idea's Original" is amazing. Straight verse,no hook,I'm feeling that. As far as rhyming goes,Nas is perfect as he usually is. His consciencness and flow never seems to fail.

Top 5 tracks
1.Purple
2.U Gotta Luv It
3.No Idea's Original
4.Drunk By Myself
5.Fetus(The Bonus Track)

Album Description

An American folk music legend, Ramblin' Jack Elliott toured with Woody Guthrie in the early '50s, redefined folk music in England during the late '50s, recorded a string of albums in the U.S. during the '60s' "folk boom," and toured with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue in the mid '70s. He won a Grammy in 1995 for Best Traditional Folk Album and was nominated again in 1998 for Best Traditional Folk.

Customer Reviews:

once lost, now found.......2004-12-04

Hightone is to be commended for resurrecting two long-lost Ramblin' Jack Elliott sets, both preserved on tape from Elliott's latter-1950s years in England and only now available to the rest of us. (The equally worthy companion disc is The Lost Topic Tapes: Cowes Harbour 1957.) Neither concerts nor studio recordings, they boast excellent sound quality. The performances are intimate and, the occasional stumble aside, nicely done.

Happily, the songs, while familiar in other versions by source or other artists, are not ones that Elliott recorded with monotonous regularity as his songlist shrank to maybe 25 songs over the decades. (In other words, fans can rest easy: no "San Francisco Bay Blues" or "Buffalo Skinners.") This disc demonstrates that, unlike most other folk singers of the emerging revival, Elliott was influenced by commercial country music (Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Acuff) and jazz (Jelly Roll Morton). But it also reminds us what a splendid interpreter of traditional music Elliott was and is.

Elliott's reading of "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" is distinctive in two ways. One, "Roll" is usually recorded as a bluegrass tune (most famously by Flatt & Scruggs), not as the solo banjo-vocal piece it was in its original incarnation. And two, Elliott plays banjo, which he practically never did on record, ordinarily leaving that instrument to his then-wife June or, more famously in those days, Derroll Adams. Besides being novel, it's just plain refreshing: new life in the bones of an old, old song.

Other standouts include "Rock Island Line," "Ballad of John Henry," and a slowed-down, too-short "Don't You Leave Me Here." Of the Woody Guthrie songs, all that need be said is that Elliott always has done them better than Woody, an indifferent performer, ever managed to do. Ramblin' Jack is one big reason we remember Woody's songs.

A New Orleans Master.......2007-07-08

James Booker was a was marvellous musician who was capable of reading 3 staves of music. He played Bach and Rachmaninov at a very young age and went onto to become one of the greatest New Orleans Piano Players ever.
The great Allen Toussaint (producer/arranger/Pianist) knew Booker well and said that when Booker played the Piano all he did was sit down and watch in admiration.
This album features him with some of the best New Orleans players in 1973. The tapes disappeared until 1992 and were released in 1997.
This is an absolute must have if you like New Orleans music. Standards such as Junco Partner, Goodnight Irene and Tico Tico are very well done with Booker playing a funky little spinet Piano.
Just when you think it can't get any better, you come across a track like "Feel So Bad". This makes the CD worth getting on its a own - a fabulous 12/8 blues with impassioned vocals from Booker and great Piano playing.
All the recordings Booker made are worth getting, and this gem is one of the very best.

Gone Gone Gone but not Forgotten.......2004-02-07

Anyone within broadcast range of this signal, just give a listen to this CD and most particularly to Tico Rico, and come to understand why he may have even surpassed the master of the N'awlins Keys, the Fess himself (Professor Longhair). Thanks to whomever was responsible for digging up this set from the dusty vaults. That track may be the most inflamed piece of piano magic, outside of the "classics" (and I have far too little time to define that term right now, thank you) that I've ever heard.
Book went through keyboards like he went through life. Seemingly carelessly, but the man had an inordinate amount of flash and talent. Falling star syndrome, maybe. Substance abuse problems, sure. But the man's music lives on and should be listened to every bit as often as the bigger name Janis's, Jimmy's and Jim's.

James Booker -- Professor and Toy Piano Genius!.......2002-06-28

Folks down in the Crescent City have a particular way of describing a piano player that embodies the rhythm, soul, and funky boogie woogie that permiates every steamy inch of New Orleans. That person becomes known as a professor -- the most famous example being Professor Longhair. James Booker -- eye patch, narcotic nature, wickedly talented, and dead too soon -- is the premier professor. And this record, recorded, I believe, in Los Angeles, is a remarkable testiment to Booker's professorial prowess.

Put the record on, and, after a brief bit of atmospheric studio hum, you'll be treated to the opening rollicking notes of a radical reworking of the Ledbelly classic, Goodnight Irene. True, there are other recordings of Booker laying into this tune, but none of them feature the backing of a swinging unit of crack New Orleans musicians -- saxophoist Lee Allen and percussionist Didimus, among others. And let me tell you, the tune swings, bringing together the pain and joy of the blues. As Albert King used to say, "if this doesn't get to you, you've got a hole in your soul!" I dare you to not get up and dance.

Every track lives up to this standard. Check out "Feel So Bad" -- and when Booker sings that he feels like "a ball game on a rainy day" you'll feel it to. Or the New Orleans second-line rhythms and old time parlor melodies of "African Gumbo" and "Tico Tico" -- the band wails, Booker deftly dances across the keys, playing off the melody and improvising lightning, soulful runs with his right hand, and you'll feel a strong urge for a libation, some red beans and rice, and a good place to dance the night away. Tired of the long, overdone, guitar-wanking, Allman Brothers-inspired takes on "Stormy Monday"? Check out the "Hound Dog/Stormy Monday" medley for a return to the tunes simpler roots. And, of course, not one, but two versions of the New Orleans standard "Junco Partner".

And last, a note about the piano featured in this recording. Legend has it that Booker had a roomful of grand pianos to choose from for this recording -- and instead chose an old upright toy piano (perhaps a "piano forte" is a better description). The producer of the session tried to talk him out of it; but you'll be glad Booker stuck to his guns, for the piano sound on this record is positively joyous -- just what you'd expect from the bluescape and parlor of a great Professor.

Booker's gone now, far too soon. But if you buy this record, shake a leg, raise a glass, shout out "Irene" with the chorus of Goodnight Irene (and you will), I think you'll understand. And who knows -- maybe somehow Booker will know and he'll raise his eyepatch and wink at you. I guarantee it's worth a shot!

Booker Just Blows Me Away!.......2001-01-16

I am a James Booker junkie. I have not heard a bad Booker album or track for that matter. What makes this album different from others in my collection(I have 6)is that he is teamed up with a group of New Orleans all-stars and so we get to hear this very special piano player with guitar, sax, and drums playing along. How does this egomaniac piano player fit in? Seamlessly! Once again you will not believe that there is only one pair of hands on the keyboard. I defy you to listen to this album and not have your fingers and feet tapping along. I regret never having heard Booker live but thank heavens we have these lost tapes to fill in some of the holes. He played to well and died to soon. If you like New Orleans funk/blues, I think this album is a must.

Wow at long last I have both volumes of these long lost interviews thanks to Bright midnight records and Amazon, Jimbo sure was an intelligent young man, even though I'm 21 years older than he was at his death I still can't get over how insightful and mature he was,and he was only about 22 in the first interview.
Also just as important is the fact that I paid a hell of a lot less for it through Amazon, compared to some of the so called import record stores in Australia, and lets not mention the wait for them to get it in, even after you have ordered it, Amazon was fast as!!! Love it!

Customer Reviews:

A must have for any fan of Giuffria.......2006-08-15

David Glen Eisley is a very under-rated vocalist. Most of the tracks on here are from what would have been the 3rd Giuffria album along with a few Dirty White Boy tracks and of course the few from what turned out to be the House of Lords debut. I loved this from start to finish.

Just listen to this version of "Pleasure Palace"...absolute masterpiece. No disrespect meant to James Christian as I think he fits in great with House of Lords, but I'd still like to see how the rest of the HOL stuff would have sounded with DGE.

It's a sin David Glen Eisley isn't more well known.......2002-03-01

This CD -- The Lost Tapes -- is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise murky and dismal musical world.

Mostly because the lead singer -- David Glen Eisely -- is one of America's greatest rock vocalists.

Never heard of him? You're not alone. Thanks to a lot of bad breaks, including the wrath of KISS' Gene Simmons who ousted DGE from Giuffria, brought in vocalist James Christian and changed the name of the band to House of Lords (why Gregg Giuffria went along with that backstabbing is beyond me), and poor distribution, David Glen Eisely remains one of the greatest relatively unknown vocalists the rock world has ever seen.

This CD, the discovery of long lost tapes from the Giuffria and early House of Lords days, showcases DGE's superb voice (a sort of slightly rougher Steve Perry) and the guitar power pop/melodic rock sensibilities of Gregg Giuffria, guitar whiz Lanny Cordola and others. It's vintage '80s and early '90s upbeat rock -- full of flashy guitar solos and soaring vocals about lost love, jealousy, and all your typical rock star themes from that era.

Only done better than anyone else has done them before.

If you remember Giuffria (they had a radio hit with the beautiful song "Call to the Heart"), or if you have followed DGE's career over the years as I have (he made an album called Dirty White Boy, one called Murderer's Row and, most recently, Stranger From the Past -- find them if you can), this is essential. In fact, this CD is more than that. It's life-affirming. It's perfect.

Yet, in a way, it's sad. Giuffria could have been huge if Simmons hand't gotten hold of them. And David Glen Eisley could have been one of our national musical treasures.

The sound quality on this CD is great. Crystal clear. The 13 tracks rock like a big dog, yet always have that perfect '80s and '90s production.

I enjoy all of the songs, but I'm most surprised by "Slip of the Tongue" and "Pleasure Palace," the hard-rocking songs that House of Lords recorded for their first album -- after DGE had been ousted. The versions featured here (with DGE's vocals instead of James Christian's) are so much better than the ones on the first House of Lords album it's not funny. DGE is a master vocalist with a ton of charisma.

I can't recommend this CD highly enough. It deserves a place in your collection. And DGE deserves a serious round of applause for bringing this collection of "lost" tracks to light.

Thank you, Mr. Eisley.

Giuffria has returned!!!.......2002-02-01

This is CD has made me happier than any CD I have heard in years. For any of you who love Giuffria, this is an absolute must! It is like finding a 3rd Giuffria album. All but 4 of the 13 tracks are done by the band from the "Silk and Steel" album. It even encludes a few tracks from the 1st House of Lords album that was slated to be the 3rd Giuffria release before Gene Simmons forced David Glen Eisley out of the band. Now you can hear how these songs should have sounded. If you have never heard this or his "Stranger" CD, you need to check them out, they truly are amazing. I could not recomend them more! Thank you David for sharing these with us, it really is a dream come true for this old Giuffria fan!!!
