Awesome.......2007-02-11

I can really see why people say Beth is a modern day Janis Joplin. She is underrated.
Connoisseurs of the human voice will adore Beth. Her voice is made for belting out the blues. Her voice has plenty of power for some of the songs she sings on this cd.
Like Janis her performance is in your face and electrifying and it puts you in the moment. There you are living your ordinary life and you put on the cd and it's like a car wreck. You can't help but look or in this case listen. Beth and her band they give you an awesome performance. Nothing held back.
If you don't have this cd in your music library you're really missing out.
Thanks Beth you're awesome.

a goddess on adrenaline.......2006-12-16

This CD is phenomenal. As much as I hate Britney Spears and her like (and I hate them passionately), I love this woman/singer/musician.

She writes. She plays instruments. She has a talent that very few have. I don't understand how her vocal chords remain intact.

People buy Paris Hilton's CD. That just shows me how the American music scene is going to hell in a hand basket and has been for years.

Beth Hart is an incredible performer.

I hope that someday she is given recognition as a rock/blues great.

There are only nine posted reviews at this time. That's sad.

WHAT'S MISSING?.......2006-11-13

Not much but where's Hiding Under Water man??? This CD is just the CD version of the previously released DVD. However, it does NOT include Hiding Under Water or Lay Your Hands On Me which she played at that concert and are on the DVD version. I'm especially bummed about Hiding Under Water not being included in this collection. I could have done w/o Beth's version of Zepplin's Whole Lotta Love and would have loved to have had Hiding Under Water instead. I don't believe this song is on any of her other efforts you can purchase. Beth's performance is outstanding, she is an incredible vocalist and performer, every song kicks *ss! The band is also excellent. Beth & Co. get 5 stars but, because they left out two good tunes, the CD gets 4 stars.

RAW HART.......2006-09-30

For those who feel Beth's voice is a little too subdued by the recording process on the studio albums - this is the answer. Beth is the best rock/blues singer on earth - hands down. Anyone who has seen her live can tell you. Beth is all about live.
This is a recording of a stunning 2004 show in Amsterdam. Beth takes the audience on a journey of blues, piano ballads and some a** kicking rock. The first time you hear her belt out a note your head will spin. The power of this artist's voice is unbelievable.
This cd contains songs from her first three studio albums as well as covers of Randy Newman's "Guilty" and Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love." She makes them her own and any Zeppelin fan would approve. Tracks "Am I the One" and "Immortal" from album of the same name are taken to a new level (or maybe a whole new universe) from the studio recordings. The track "Am I the One" is worth the price of admission.
The delivery on each song is so outstanding it is mind boggling that anyone could keep up that intensity for the entire show. Beth's gritty, growling, soaring vocals and palpable raw sexuality burst off the tracks. Another plus is some great guitar playing as well. Her band is terrific.
Turn up the volume - this one might blow out your windows.
The DVD Live at Paradiso is also a must have. The visual performance along with the audio is the total package. Plus there are more songs on the DVD.

She's All About 'Live' and The Primal Scream.......2006-03-06

"Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But doin' nothin' is my favorite one
& it's not the life I thought it would be
But I'll be alright
I know I will be
So long to circumstance
Cashin' in on the glory
of my biggest mistakes
I'm fadin' now at last
baskin' in sweet sunlight
Yeah these are some of my favorite things"
Beth Hart lyrics to "Favorite Things"

Beth Hart has been compared to Janis Joplin, a comparison she accepts but with regret. Regret that her idol wasn't able to meet her demons head on, as she has. Beth Hart sings the pain she feels as Janis Joplin did. Joan Jett describes her version of Janis Joplin best, and it fits Beth Hart seemingly well.

"I remember thinking that Janis Joplin sang like Mae West talked. When I first heard the primal scream in 'Piece Of My Heart,' I was hooked. 'Cheap Thrills,' Janis 'Live' with Big Brother And The Holding Company, was one of my all time faves. During the 'whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa's' in 'Combination Of Two,' I couldn't help but go to the mirror and pretend I was a wild woman like Janis, in a rock band." Joan Jett.

Beth Hart puts herself on the line, and this CD shows us where the line is drawn. From the first line of "Delicious Surprise" which describes her hopes and dreams, and her reality; to "LA Song" her only song that has made the big time, we learn that Beth Hart is determined to have a positive outcome.

"Delicious Surprise"- the lyrics are so sublime that it isn't until we wander with her we discover that, yes, she does
'Got me somethin to believe in
but all I really want now is
a handful of salvation'

"Leave The Light On" is her song of overcoming the shadow of those that are abused and left to fend for life in dark places. She wants to live.

"Mama" is Beth Hart's tribute to her own mama who tried to help her through her misery and darkness "she helps me shine
& she comes to me when there's nothing I believe & holds me so high'.

"L.A. Song" is the triumph of the times and a hit song and then the spiral downwards into true addiction and pain. She has since recovered, but we are left with this rhythm and rock of the time in her life that brought her down.

All thirteen songs are meant to bring us to a fever pitch and learn and listen. Beth Hart's band backs her up with verve and vibrancy but allows her gritty, determined voice to shine through.

Beth Harts says, "I'm all about live. The live show is always better than the recorded music. What I love the most about this CD is that it showcases all of what this new album project is about. It shows the hard side, the soft side, the cockiness, the honesty...it's very, very open". The Paradiso in Amsterdam was the setting of this fabulous CD. The fans roared and screamed at each set, and we can hear the back and forth between Beth Hart and her fans. She has learned how to survive. She knows it takes the support of those who love her, and particularly those who buy her CD's and those who are always there, her fans. The cover of this CD shows Beth Hart screaming out her songs in pain and love, and is remarkably similar to a Janis Joplin live album. A CD that speaks to us all, but delivers a different message each time we hear it. Highly Recommended, prisrob 3-05-06

The Young Lanza impresses.......2007-04-11

I am a singer and have been a Mario Lanza fan since becoming interested in opera in my teens. The quality of his singing varied a great deal, especially in his later years. But this Hollywood Bowl concert, at age 26, shows him with a freshness and ease of production that failed him later in life. Highlights for me were the Boheme Duet - I don't know of any of the current tenor stars who would dare to hold the High A for so long and then jump right to the High C and be able to sustain it. The Andrea Chenier demonstrates his spinto side and the beauty of his middle and lower voice. One weeps for what might have been. But I will put this recording against Mr. Alagna any day of the week.

A Rare Find!.......2002-12-19

The "Live From London" is my favorite cd and this is a close second. I usually listen to the Bowl selections only and save the Coca-Cola radio program for another time. The recording quality is not the best, but this is a wonderful sourvenir of the young singer in excellent voice and delivery at the begining of his career. The selections with soprano Frances Yeend are a wonderful addition since there are few recorded "live concert" Lanza duets available outside of this venue (there are recordings of his later Bowl appearances you may want to check out). Mario's introductions show his warmth and humor. It was at this concert that MGM took notice and his career moved to the movie studios. We are fortunate to have this recording. One of the highlights of the Coke show program is Mario's introduction to the "Our Father". Disregard the liner notes. For value delivered, this cd rates five stars!

One of the great performances of all time.......2002-05-12

The first six tracks of this CD capture Mario Lanza's legendary 1947 Hollywood Bowl debut. These recordings, by themselves, would rate 7 stars in my book. (The rest of the CD would probably merit about 2 stars, but those live tracks are worth the ridiculously low price of this collection many times over.) Renowned baritone George London, Lanza's frequent singing partner, later said he never heard Mario sing better than he did that night, and it would be hard to disagree with him. Lanza, on the eve of signing his contract with MGM, was at the peak of his vocal discipline, fresh off 15 months of training with Enrico Rosati. And while his interpretive abilities may have not reached their full potential, then or ever, the voice itself was magnificent: brilliant, rich and indescribably glorious. The concert opens with "Una furtiva lagrima," by Donizetti, which, if somewhat raw, is certainly more refined and lyrical than his later studio recording. His phrasing of "Cielo, si puo morir" can bring tears to my eyes. Next up is a thrilling rendition of "Un di all'azzuro spazio" from ANDREA CHENIER. Lanza's performance of this aria is as good as any I've ever heard, including Caruso's. He positively caresses the phrase "Su dalla terra a la mia fronte veniva una ca'rezza viva," then passionately spits out the aria's middle section: "un uom vi calunniave bestemmiando il suolo che l'erario a pena sazia e contro a Dio scagliava, e contro a li uomini le lagrime dei figli!" Lanza's vocal tone, in this performance, was more focused than it was in his later recording of this aria, and his later recordings in general, and the effect is very impressive to those who have only heard his studio recordings. Then, for an encore, he sings "E lucevan le stelle," from TOSCA by Puccini, another aria which, in my opinion, Lanza sang as well if not better than anyone. True, he does not sing the pianissimo like Gigli or Di Stefano, but then neither did Caruso or Domingo. In fact, to my way of thinking Lanza's interpretation is more in character with a man who is about to die: it is not a simple love song but a cry of desperation. Next come three gorgeous duets with Frances Yeend, a singer with limited interpretive abilities but a rich, full voice. On the duet from LA TRAVIATA, Lanza showcases a wonderful legato line, and the timing of the two singers is nearly perfect. By this time in the concert, Lanza's voice had reached its peak of richness and beauty. The love duet from MADAME BUTTERFLY that follows is a positive tour de force: I have never heard a more exciting and musical performance: neither singer allows interpretation to get in the way of the melody, which is always a good idea with Puccini. Lanza is at his most passionate here, and his high C at the end is devastating. Yeend would later say that Lanza's singing was "Always thrilling. . .he never spared the horses," and this duet is a good example. Finally, a tasteful and lovely rendition of the duet from LA BOHEME closes out the show, with the richness of each singer's voice on full display. Lanza sings the line "Dammi il braccio mia piccina" as romantically as anyone, and the interplay between the two singers is nearly perfect. This is a performance for the ages: anyone who loves Italian opera and especially great tenor singing should love this album. The rest of the album is pretty much a waste, except for an interesting version of "A Vuchella" in which Lanza does his best Gigli impression. Notably, this album contains possibly the worst version of any song I have ever heard: an English language rendition of "Funiculi funicula" that is positively dreadful, although you can't really blame that on Lanza's singing.

Buy this for the first six tracks only!.......2001-08-22

This CD contains both the very best and the very worst of the vastly underrated Mario Lanza. First things first, ignore the absurdly inaccurate liner notes. Lanza did NOT have a small voice - indeed fellow musicians who sang with him often remarked that it was a huge and powerful instrument. Lanza's voice did not "crack down" in his last years, as the liner notes writer asserts; rather it was his health that "cracked down" in the final year of his life.

These recordings, however, demonstrate the tenor in the full bloom of health. The outstanding selections are tracks 1-6, which come from his extraordinary Hollywood Bowl debut in 1947. You'll never hear a better Lanza rendition of the Madama Butterfly Love Duet (with soprano Frances Yeend) than the one included here. This is sensitive AND passionate singing of the highest order, and listening to this rendition today it is not surprising that MGM signed the tenor up for a movie career the very next day. All six selections are outstanding, and many will be surprised by the beautiful legato Lanza employs in the difficult Parigi, O Cara from La Traviata.

The six initial tracks are more than worth the price of the CD, and make up for the shortcomings of the remaining selections, all of which come from Lanza's Coca-Cola radio show of 1951-52. The latter tracks show the tenor at his commercial worst. Diane is an abomination, and there are several other selections that should never have seen the light of day. Fortunately, however, there are a few nuggets among the dross, and "If" is a most attractive and exciting performance.

The sound is not brilliant on the Coke Show selections (these are not the pristine BMG recordings, and all come with overlaid applause tracks). Ironically, the live Hollywood Bowl selections have much better sound.

But don't let the "Coke" numbers put you off buying this CD. The Hollywood Bowl concert is a masterpiece, and should be required listening for all who scoff at this "movie tenor".

If Wolfman Jack sang for CCR you w/have Omar & The Howlers.........2005-02-18

If Wolfman Jack sang for CCR you would have Omar & The Howlers. This concert was recorded in 1991 in Amsterdam. It seems that Omar is much more popular in Europe then he is here. Too bad because this is great Texas style rock n roll. It's a solid concert and the strongest tracks are "Mississippi Hoo Doo" which sounds an awful lot like "Run through the Jungle", and they stay in the CCR mode with a cover of John Fogerty's "Born on the Bayou". The rest of the concert is all original and includes their hit "Hard Times in the Land of Plenty" and some great blues guitar in a song called "Lee Anne".

A bit of trivia I learned from this concert...Omar was born in McComb, Mississippi...the same little town as Bo Diddley.

Simply the real thing, Omar truly is the man........1999-09-07

In the mid-80's I caught Omar and his Howlers at the Paramount in Seattle. This was before we were assimilated by California and now the east coast. In those days it wasn't real easy to get us fired up at a show, no matter the artist. Well, to a four fifths house Omar and the boy's showed little or no mercy. About half way through I was aware that I hadn't even sat down yet, looked around and people were litterally standing in their chairs, pumping their fists and giving reasonable facsimile's of a rebel yell. He/they blew the roof off of the joint and had us screaming for more. I was lucky enough to be able to hang out with him afterwords and discuss the awsome Austin scene including Miss Luanne Barton and Eric Johnson. What a cool guy. He even invited us to dinner. I've been looking for a cd with some of his older songs for at least 10 yrs, and finally, thank God, I found it. If you have not heard Hard Times in The Land OF Plenty and some of the others on this jewel, buy it. Now. If you've never seen the great one live, do so. As soon as possible. He is the real thing, not a pretty boy poser.

I've seen Omar live in Chicago a number of times, and this album is the real deal. If you ever considered seeing him live, this is your primer. Not a bad performance in the bunch.

Red Hot Guitar Shredding!.......2006-05-09

I can still remember the first time I heard this album 20 years ago. I was turned on to Link Wray's _Bullshot_ by Bo Solomon, a guitarist for the Wild Seeds, when I was living in Austin. A couple of years later I was living in Lubbock and came across a used copy of this album. I didn't know what to expect but when I got the end of side one and Link Wray was doing the ultimate train wreck ending on "Rumble" I was just jumping around on the couch in the living room of my little house-a one bedroom converted garage-screaming at the top of my lungs "Go, old man, go! Rock on!! Ahhhh!!!!!!" and just losing my mind. (I mean, really, Eddie Van Halen will be lucky to have these chops when he is Wray's age when this record was made.)

Wray is best known, of course, for the instrumental "Rumble" which came out in the `50s. A brooding instrumental, the story goes that Wray invented fuzz tone by sticking a pencil through his amplifier speaker to make it rattle. The song charted in the Top 20 and was banned throughout the country because playing it at high school dances was believed to start fights. Wray had and up and down career-lots of acclaim (and you never would have had Jack White but for the grace of Link Wray) but not that many album sales-and late in life relocated to Scandinavia, a hotbed of fifties/rockabilly interest.

There are quite a few compilations of his work available that many cover the many stages of his studio work from `50s instrumentals, to proto-garage `60s psychedelica, to his home recordings in the `70s, the `80s collaborations with Robert Gordon plus some solid solo work, to his late-career European releases. But, although there are several live albums out there, the overall quality-production and playing-on them doesn't even come close to _Live at the Paradiso_. With a solid rhythm section, including David Letterman studio band alumnus Anton Fier on drums, these songs go to show how the skeletal arrangements of his `50s studio work could be nothing short of nuclear live on the stage. Long out of print in the United States and only available as a high-priced import, this album shows up periodically on Amazon in domestic release and is a must-have for any Wray aficionado in particular as well as anyone who loves the note-shredding guitar power trio format.

You can bet I'm ordering a copy to replace my worn-out vinyl version!

"But this one goes up to eleven...".......2007-03-18

In the days when guitar distortion and feedback were all the rage, wot's a trio of Brit lads to do with only an organ, bass & drums?

Answer: turn everything up to 11 and fuzz the hell out it. Hugh says: "We used to wear earplugs, but there must be a lot of Softs fans out there with tinnitus by now." Amen! Maybe it's dedicated to you (or Hugh) and you WERE listening, but you're standing perfectly still in the deaf corner.

somewhat limited power trio of organ , bass and drums .......2004-09-24

WARNING SOFT MACHINE FANS. ALMOST ALL OF THIS CD IS ON THE ANTHOLOGY: MAN IN A DEAF CORNER ANTHOLOGY 1963-1970. that 2 cd set contains 1 cd of very early free jazz experiments and a 2nd. cd of live recordings including almost all of "live at the paradiso 1969". the music is of somewhat limited interest over all with the live recordings being much better than the free jazz. "live at the paradiso 1969" in particular reveals the missing saxophone (on this recording) as the key to their later success and drummer vocalist robert wyatt as the band's main talent. 3 and 1/2 stars.

All things distorted........2003-11-20

Live at the Paradiso is Soft Machine at their best! It captures what they were on stage, live. Keyboards, bass, vocals are all distorted. Keyboards careen out of control, playing at a frenetic pace. This is just an outstanding album from the Progressive Rock years. Live at the Paradiso is loud, raw, and straight out of the amps. This is my top pick from the Soft Machine catalog.

Fascinating Look At The Early Years.......2001-06-13

This 1969 live recording documents the early, pre-fusion Softs performing their 2nd LP in concert. The performance is quite excellent though occasional technical difficulties like microphones cutting out, leading to some missing vocals, make it less than technically perfect; but that is what it's all about, a bare bones sound board tape re-ceating a real live gig without any touch ups. Recommended for serious Softs fans.

Ingenious, witty, strange, all that............2001-02-12

I wonder if I will ever stop feeling old and decrepit, but these guys have reason to probably never do that. I have no idea where and when this concert was. I don't know anyone who has any idea of what they were doing that far back, but for some reason these guys ran the tape machine at just the right time, and recorded what now are their very young selves.

The result is brilliant. I can't put it any better than the other fan from Victoria - it's one continuous song, permuted and multiplied and divided, and never anything other than elegant.

Trouble is, it makes you rather sad that this just doesn't seem to happen any more. None of these guys were any older than 20 odd when this was done, and just listen to the pyrotechnics and imagination! Will we ever get that good? Will I? I doubt it... But thanks very, very much young fellas. Sure like to see you some day.

Simply the real thing, Omar truly is the man........1999-09-07

omar at his finest.......1998-07-20

I've seen Omar live in Chicago a number of times, and this album is the real deal. If you ever considered seeing him live, this is your primer. Not a bad performance in the bunch.
