Reviews (page 14 of 14)

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

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

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.

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.

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