Reviews (page 13 of 13)
James Brown is fine, I just dislike live albums. They're pointless.
Nah
The Godfather of soul has a lot of great hits throughout the years. A few of them are on this album. It is however live and an artist I don't listen to a lot. That made me appreciate it less. It was an ok listen but if I want to hear James Brown I wouldn't choose this album.
Not his best
I feel good in leaving a bad review. Forgettable live album.
I didn't much care for this album, but I'm not sure if it was because I actually didn't like the music (which is definitely part of it) or if my perception of him as a garbage person played a part (likely). Either way, it's over, and no more James Brown for me, thanks.
Ganz und gar nicht meins!
I typically don’t like live albums, and this album is a big indicator of why. The crowd noise is terrible. Hearing people scream over the songs just takes away all my enjoyment.
I know he's a legend, I know it's probably blasphemy, but I just didn't enjoy listening to this. Honestly was a bit bored. 8 tracks and one of those is an introduction to the album/band. None of his big big hits. Don't see what is so special about this really.
No
worst or second worst live album we've had so far, but mercifully short
Blödes Rumgekreische von der Bühne und aus dem Publikum.
Stop met fucking schreeuwen. Ik raak hier erg overprikkeld van
Wenig interessanter R&B.
Not the best album to start listening to James Brown too. Need to revisit after exploring his studio work.
James Brown had a great voice, my problem with this kind of music is it all sounds really similar, besides a few changes like speed.
Not my bag, baby
I would have really appreciated if they would have turned down the volume on the crowd. This was just awful. Just awful.
No me imagino lo mal que la pasaron las personas que estuvieron adelante de los parlantes escuchando por más de media hora los gritos de este flaco.
Feel dreadful with a cold. Needed something neutral. This was neutral, but shit in a nice way. So I'll just give it a 1.
一般般
Nah
Can a live album be better than the sum of the studio songs? Yes. This album is not. The crowd work is extensive-- voices are loudly heard instructing the crowd to shout and, worse, this is needed! Call and responses, or at least the capture thereof, are lack luster yet extensive crosstalk comes through everywhere else on the recording. Unprompted shouts don't seem to be related to particularly impressive or energetic moments in the song-- perhaps a visual of the stage would be needed to "feel" these moments along with the crowd. Listening to this album is simply an exercise in awkwardness. It comes off like he's a b-rate opener pleading with the crowd to pay attention.
Well, it's a live album, and you should know by now how I feel about live albums being on the list.
I get this was big at its time. It was a bit too tame for me. Crazy to hear those 1960s screams
Did not enjoy at all. Just don’t like this style
Good album, but 1 star for live albums.
Jeese stop screamin
Ew
Automatisk stryk for livealbum. Men wtf Opening Fanfare e jo introen til Radioresepsjonen på TV
Hate hate hate
instrumental > vocals nicht so ganz mein geschmack idk
I don't get it
Not my kind of music
Inte min kopp te i musikväg direkt.
Just never get the James Brown thing
I'm honestly just not sure what id apparently be missing in life if i didn’t hear this
Inte för å va rasist men det här var tyvärr jättetråkigt
Not my thing. Although James Brown was known as a great performer.
nope
Anyone with the surname brown is a cunt
I just realized that R&B music follows the Blues scheme. Huh. Anyways, not quite my case ^^
It's no good for me
Recorded live shows are meh. I'd rather be there live. Also, this isn't my type of music.
ok

Funny hearing the (almost all female) crowd go wild!
