I love to be contradicted from one album to the next. This live album is the opposite of the last one: it's still live, but it's a good and reasonable collection of songs, not packed from hours of live. The energy is conveyed much better, stay strong all along and it's really enjoyable.
In contrast to yesterday’s live album, this one feels much more like being at an actual performance. There’s a fantastic opening introduction by Fats Gonder to get you hyped up, before James Brown himself comes on stage at his swaggering, sweaty, sex machine best. He has a fantastic natural rapport with the crowd, leading them in a call and response, feeling very much like the evangelical preacher he would go on to play in the Blues Brothers movie. Just an all round great live performance captured on vinyl!
