The uncharitable will say that the only thing missing from this 2 CD '96 live set of Doobie standards is the toe tag. We merely report that several thousand boomers and bikers will enjoy it, and the cause (wildlife preservation) is a good one. --Jeff Bateman

The Gentlemen of Southern Rock in Concert.......2001-02-10

I consider three 1970's groups (Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, and The Doobie Brothers) the originators of Southern rock. The Doobie Brothers were the gentlemen of Southern rock. These gentlemen's personalities shine in "Rockin' Down The Highway: The Wildlife Concert", a recording of an extremely fun, happy, and energetic 1996 concert for the Wildlife Conservation Society. The Doobie Brothers' support for the Wildlife Conservation Society is appropriate. Nearly twenty-five years after their first recording, The Doobie Brothers still are rockin' down the highway and their wild life continues. That's an extremely long playing record!

This excellent recording presents The Doobie Brothers' lyrics more clearly than some of their studio recordings. Two selections: 'China Grove' (with its outstanding guitar solos) and 'Listen To The Music' (a great concert arrangement) are examples of Southern rock's best. Another 8 selections are particularly outstanding. 'Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While)', 'Minute By Minute', and 'What A Fool Believes' feature Michael McDonald's outstanding vocals. 'Takin' It To The Streets' features saxophone solos and Michael McDonald vocals. 'Slow Burn', 'The Doctor', & 'Without You' feature outstanding guitar solos. 'Excited' features vocal and guitar solos plus a rolling arrangement reminiscent of "The Lizzies" scene in the 1979 Michael Beck cult movie "The Warriors".

The Doobie Brothers have polished their artistry and style for over twenty-five years. That artistry and style shines in "Rockin' Down The Highway: The Wildlife Concert". I recommend this fun live recording both for Doobie Brothers fans and also for those unfamiliar with The Doobie Brothers' music.

Only for the Doobie lovers.......2000-06-30

This is a great album for anyone who has not heard the Doobie Brothers before and wants to get to know the band. For anyone who has a lot of Doobie albums, this cd probably is not a good buy. The songs are simply recycled and there is no creative spin to make the cd unique. This cd is best for new fans or the Doobie obsessed.

a music fan from Illionois.......2000-04-24

Saw the Doobies Labor Day 1999 at a festival. Found this CD to be on par with that concert. This CD captures all the musical excitement that a festival setting can give. I recommend this CD to any Doobies fan or fan of music from the 70's.

A Must Have for Doobie Purists!.......1999-06-25

I have this CD and the video and I highly, highly recommend both for a look and a listen to one of America's greatest, cleanest sounding and most talented rock and roll bands, who provide grand doses of not only rock but also country, jazz and blues. Buy the CD for your stereo, and the video for your television. And share both with your children so they can learn and understand what great seventies rock and roll really is. Amazon offers great prices on both the CD and VHS (and NO, I don't work for them!) Guaranteed to please.

A stunning collection of great tunes.......1999-02-10

Having been a Doobie Brothers fan for 20 plus years, it wasn't until 1990 that I saw them perform live. I have seen them 3 times since. I was convinced their onstage live energy couldn't be captured on "vinal" or CD. I was wrong. This is a terrific double album. Crystal clear sound, great selection of classic hits spanning the last 25 years.Even non touring ex-Doobie-Michael McDonald appears in several tunes (I guess there are no ex Doobies). Highly recommended!!!added for a few tunes.

Excellent Remaster of the Band's 3rd Album.......2005-09-30

Somebody has to be a Gemini, here. Listen to "Home Is Where I Want To Be", an interesting Ralphs composition with intricate interlacing organ and piano plus folk guitar, mellow, laid back and friendly. The next piece is the live remake of Little Richards', "Keep 'A Knockin". Here for the first time on the first three MTH albums you get an inkling of the full firepower of MTH live on stage. A real rush turned up loud as they were in concert, full chaos controlled beautifully (and the crowd loves it); very striking contrast! This displays perfectly the two sides MTH was capable of. Ralphs' guitar work as always impeccable, ranging from traditional riffs to harmonious patterns to nice flashing and crashing lead lines. Then he turns it up another notch and goes into tree sawing mode; quite a work ethic. Also, excellent rendition of Melanie's hit, "Lay Down" and the solemn orchestral "Waterlow", by Hunter. This album the band produced themselves, with inconsistent help from engineers, due to falling out with Guy Stevens after he pushed them over the edge on Mad Shadows and wanted to fire organist Verden Allen. Instead, the band stuck with Verdie and told Guy to take a walk. They missed him, although eccentric he was at least consitent, and teamed again on the next album, Brain Capers.

Other nice songs on this album; Hunter's "Angel of Eighth Avenue", and the bonus track of Mountain's, "Long Red". This was a tribute to the bands' friend, Leslie West, and a fine rendition indeed. The live version on Tale of Two Cities is also breathtaking. Great booklet here and composition by drummer Dale (Buffin) Griffin, as with all four of MTH's remastered first albums. You won't be dissappointed with the sound quality of this import CD, a must have and well worth the investment. Kudos to the Angel Air lable for getting these remastered historic discs into the market. They sound as good today as they did live, 30 years ago.

FM Should Have Been Huge.......2005-11-08

Being FM's Debut, they had to set themselves apart from other bands in the AOR genre. In comes singer Steve Overland, probably the best AOR singer ever, definitely in the top 5 of the genre. They had a minor hit with "Frozen Heart" but for some reason they were unable to break into the mainstream. I believe this is an AOR classic and should not be missed. Also, chek out "Tough It Out", their second album, I believe it is better but this cd has more punch to it. Start your FM collection with Tough It Out and Indiscreet, you will see that Steve Overland was the best singer of the AOR genre.

Much better than one might think.......2003-07-12

I love this album. Reviewers who complain about this album cite poor vocals by Mick Ralphs, and in a way that's justified. But in the greater scheme of things, the vocals add a quirky atmosphere that stylistically place the band's sound somewhere between Ummagumma era Pink Floyd, and early Wishbone Ash. Two albums later, their sound would change dramatically, when they became leaders of the glam-rock scene and the enchanting atmophere was exchanged for heavy riffs. Don't get me wrong -- All the Young Dudes and Mott are terrific albums, but the first four albums work together as a seamless whole (Mott the Hoople and the fourth, Brain Capers were critically very well received, but Mad Shadows and this album, Wildlife, fell on deaf ears, both critically and commercially) This album is for more than just completists, and if you're a fan of early Pink Floyd and Wishbone Ash, you just might find the vocals enchanting. Don't expect this to sound like David Bowie or T. Rex -- it sounds as nothing else. I spot the album one star for having so much heart, and for having the tenacity to record Melanie's "Lay Down" that sounds like "Madman" era Elton John, complete with gospel chorus! Get this album -- you might just run into someone who will spot it as a winner.

Low watermark.......2003-01-08

This is perhaps the weakest Mott release in large part due to the paper thin and expressionless vocals of Mick Ralphs( unemotive on the slower tunes and straining for the notes on the rockers).There are some great songs here and Ian Hunter and all the guys are in fine form but in the end Mick's voice simply cannot carry these tunes.On it's release this disc did not recieve good reviews and this was the start of the bands demise even though they were still pulling fanatical crowds in the UK,they just could not seem to move forwards.Happily all that would change and the band would go on to enjoy some real success twelve months later with "All the young dudes".

Git along little Hooples.......2000-05-31

Here Mick Ralphs attempts to lead the band into more genteel and countrified territiory after the gruesome sonic overload of "Mad Shadows". Only on the frantic live version of "Keep a Knockin" does the band rock out on this one.

But it really works. If only Ralphs could sing, I'd give it 5 stars. Despite his singing, Ralphs' numbers are pretty good, although a bit saccharine aside from "Wrong Side of the River". "River" is such a cool song even Mick's poor vocals don't hurt it much (I'd love to hear it covered by a good vocalist).

Hunter's work on this album is simply excellent. "Angel of Eighth Avenue", and "Waterlow" are cool and mellow and among the best he's ever done. If you are a Hunter fan, this album is a must. Buy it quick before it goes out of print again.

Under rated gem from Mott.......1999-04-14

Wildlife was a transitional album for the band, but a daring one. After clearly creating a "sound" for themselves they moved into a totally different country rock area.

Hunter's "Angel of 8th Ave" and Ralphs' "Whisky Women" are two of the best tracks on the album. In fact, Ralphs is in top form here contributing four excellent songs. Ignored upon release, this is one of the band's most interesting offerings.
