- Nice mix of old and newer songs.And the sound quality is MUCH better than the horrible Concert Classics cd.If you want live Amazing Rhythm Aces on cd this is the one to buy.Very nice release.
- I've been into the ARA since "Too Stuffed To Jump" in the early "70s. I have every vinyl album and have been waiting for something, anything from them on CD. I hope this sells well to let the company know some of us can't wait. "Live" is a compilation of some of their good stuff, but they neglected to include "Dancing The Night Away", which I consider their signature song. Regardless, Russell Smith and the band are as good on this CD as when I saw them at the Palamino Club in West Hollywood in the early '80s. I hesitate to group them, but Country, Blues, Boogie, R&R all fit. Smith's guitar, voice, writing and singing are all true to form and brought a tear to my eye when "The End Is Not In Sight" began the to play. Although their catalog of records is a better choice, this is a very good example of ARA music. Highly recommend.

5 comments about Plays Live.
- "Plays Live" was my first experience with Peter Gabriel back in 1983. And I loved it. Since then I have bought all his records (I beleive...) but have never forgotten the unique musical experience "Plays Live" gave me. I haven't listened to it since mid 80's when my tape wore out. Today - in Sept. 2008, I finally got hold of a Plays Live CD. It's amazing! Even better than I remembered. Listen to the version of San Jacinto! I own app. 500 cd's - and this album (2CD version) is probably the one I rank highest.
- This is a great cd but I only rec'vd one of the two discs. I'm still waiting on the second.
- I've had the vinyl version for over 20 years. I'm glad I re-discovered Peter Gabriel.
- This is a grate concert from Peter Gabriel. In my opinion his best live record so far. I recommended it to anyone who if familiar with and like Peter Gabriel early recordings.
- The sound of this double live cd is amazing, of course, it has been enhanced in studio but the "live" feeling of beeing there is preserved.
Many songs are far better in their live version on this cd when compared to the studio ones. To name a few, "The Family Snapshot", "D.I.Y", "The Family and the fishing net", "San Jacinto", "Solsbury Hill" and "Hundrum"
The voice is incredible and the sound just shake everything in the house.
Great live performance to remember this magic concert for the Security Tour.

- My husband lost this CD. I couldn't find a replacement in any store. He has whined for over a year. Finally found on Amazon. He is so happy. He loves this CD.
- FULL BLUNTAL NUGITY is Ted Nugent's third great live album. It contains several of his most identifiable standards including "Hey Baby", "Cat Scratch Fever", and his personal "Free Bird"/"Green Grass And High Tides"-type extended rocker, "Stranglehold." The opener, "KLSTRPHK", is lame, but that's hardly an issue, as the rest of the material shows Terrible Ted rocking as hard in 2000 as he did in 1975.
- i read a review about his album the review said this album was bad because ted cussed alot in it well of course it is going to have cussing in it thats what makes this album so cool well that this cd has so many hits on it his this is ted at his best a must have i give this album five stars
- ... from the get-go, Ted and his band (down to a three piece) kick your a$$!!!! Given the atmosphere: New Years Eve co-headlining with his long-time friend Sammy Hagar (who is mentioned but does not appear on this CD), the energy was in the red by the time Ted attacks the stage. The years only seem to show during Ted's rants on-stage: Ted's rapid-fire rants of early 70s seem traded for clear, well-annunciated addresses to his audience. He seems less the testosterone-filled maniac and more rock-n-roll motivational speaker, and this is rather cool! His energy is still there, just channelled differently but nonetheless effectively. The highlights are "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Great White Buffalo," leaving the new track "KLSTERPHK" to the opening "motivational speach" while amazingly keeping the energy building. Be prepared to be slammed with this CD!
- Simply put !, It is Ted Nugent, 12 tracks at 68.03 minutes of pure high on life rock'n roll , Now we know Ted swears allot but who cares his is rock'n roll and Ted tells it like it is as he always dose and on this CD it capture's this very moment with out the overdubs
So get this CD and crank it up ! Enjoy!

5 comments about King Biscuit Flower Hour: In Concert.
- For those of us who followed Pie in its original format, the addition of Clem Clemson from Bakerloo was a bit of a letdown. I never felt that he equaled the power level that Frampton pushed Pie to. This cd documents the Pie with Clemson, and while Marriot was always in great voice and the sound quality is really pretty good for its time, the band lacks something in this make-up. It's hard to imagine what this band could have been if Frampton had not come alive and died a quick chart death, but it would have been better than the band with Clemson.
- Yes, it's True, I was at Winterland that night and it was indeed Quite a SHOW. The Doors Opened right on Time at 6:30 and of course we headed for the Floor, This was Humble Pie !!! So, we were gonna be Down Front, Outta the Way, Hipsters. This ain't no Quicksilver Show, this was Mighty English Rock at it's Finest and we were STOKED, and very STONED.
First band on Stage: STEELY DAN, The Original Band with Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter on Guitar & David Palmer on Vocals. The Dan ROCKED !!! They Played almost everything from their Classic first Record, and "Do it Again" featured a Mean Solo of 'Plastic Organ' as Donald Fagen, called it. We all knew these guys would be Headliners the next time they came to Town, {They DIDN'T Tour again for over 20 YEARS!}.
The Middle Group was the: "Glam Band of the Week...SLADE. I had never heard of this Lot, BUT, they had had a Number One Hit in England, So here they be in all their Glory and Glitter, The Lead Guitar Player looked like a Martian and he had "ODD GOB" written on his Silver Suit. The Band KISS stole lot's of Ideas from these Boys, I never met a soul who actually Bought one of their Records, Ever.
Well, after almost an hour...TA DAAAA....HUMBLE PIE !!! And Loudly, they cranked out; "Up Our Sleeve", there is only One word to describe this assualt on our senses, POWER !!! The second Tune? What else, could it be but "4 Day Creep" from the "Live at the Filmore Record", When the Crowd heard the First Notes of this, We all went NUTS. Next Steve introduced the Back-Up Singers: The Blackberries, and sat at a White Hammond organ, and launched into "Black Coffee" with a Dirty Rap Directed Right at the Girls and what he had planned to do to them after the Show, this is not on the King Biscuit Master because of the Subject Matter {it's R Rated).
There were a few more 'Soul Numbers' performed, and just in time Steve jumped up from behind his Big Organ {His Pun, Not Mine} and Got back to Serious Rock Business once again with a KILLER: "Stone Cold Fever" that went on & on, it was Plenty longer than the "Filmore" version, It was Majestic and had some really pretty playing in the Middle section, the Guitar Leads by Clem and Steve were Amazing! This one Needs to see the light of Day again, and alas, it ISN'T on this CD...$#!*
Also, not included is the Long, long version of "Rollin' Stone" they played that Night, again this would be due to the Lyric Content as they are very sexual, BUT, this version was way different from the other live Version and is also merits an Official Release.
I am glad "30 Days" made it to the Record, BUT, again there is an EDIT here as Steve introduced it with a long funny Rap, that is Not here as well as ANOTHER Rap right in the middle of this Crowd pleaser. It isn't included as well, This Song could be from Another Night, and Not the May 6 Winterland show, if it IS Winterland, it's a great Edit.
Some of the best Stuff IS here: "Halleluah, I Love her So" and "Hot N' Nasty" were SMOKIN'...these are the Best versions of these Pie Classics, out there. The Show closed with "Doctor", and again this was a great version. The encore on this night was "Honky Tonk Woman" and then "Roadrunner". It was all over by 2AM {The Official Winterland Closing Time}, if a show ran later than that they Closed the doors and became a "Private Party" until dawn.
I do wish we had the ENTIRE SHOW here, (it would take 2 CD's) because there is less than half of The Pie's set included here. But, I doubt that will ever happen. This was a GREAT NIGHT at Winterland, and I will always Remember just How GREAT it was to see this Band Up-Close.
FOUR STARS...
- This is one King Biscuit Flower Hour CD that until here recently, I avoided because Peter Frampton had already left the band. Foolish me! 'King Biscuit' is a must-have archive recording. If you've ever been a true Humble Pie fan, you're sure to dig this ten track S-M-O-K-I-N' disc as much as I did, if not more. Frampton's replacement, guitarist Dave Clempson did a great job of filling in. This gig took place on May 6, 1973 at the Winterland Theater in San Francisco. Sound quality is great, I thought. Couldn't ask for more. Tunes that'll have me listening to my radio a bit less are "Four Day Creep", "C'Mon Everybody", their Stones cover "Honky Tonk Woman", Humble Pie's staple "30 Days In The Hole", the blues rock standard "Roadrunner" (wish I had a dime for every band that's played this tune), and the rousing "I Don't Need No Doctor". Question: does British blues rock get much better than this? I say, no it doesn't.
- You know, I like the Black Crowes. Really, I do. But every time I listen to them I get the feeling that something's missing, especially in regards to their live cds. So, when it's time scratch a serious rock n roll itch, this is where I turn!
Comparing this or Rockin' The Filmore to any of the live Crowe releases makes it clear that the Pie was the real deal!! Steve Marriott was an incredible vocalist/showman and the band as a whole just rocks!
IMHO this KBFH release is so good (Hot And Nasty is worth the price alone!) that it's even better than Rockin' The Filmore - which is a stone classic in it's own right. The track listings are distinct enough that you should own both of them.
- I have heard this LP before. I am buying it for an 18 year old Finlander female that never heard of Humble Pie nor Steve Marriott. The only bad thing is I have been waiting for over a month and it was for her birthday in June. Aside from the long time for delivery I was well aware of the way better recording on the Biscuit as opposed to the Filmore.

5 comments about The Kids Are Alright.
- And those Englishmen that I speak of are Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, better known to the rock world and their fans as The Who. In this 1979 rockumentary directed by Jeff Stein, the band is shown in classic clips performing some of their best songs. When it opens, we see them performing "My Generation" on "The Smothers Brothers Show". After the documentary's titles are shown, we cut to a clip of them singing "I Can't Explain" on what would be the last broadcast of "Shindig", ABC's evening answer to their ever-popular "American Bandstand". About a half-hour or so into the movie, we're treated to their electrifying performance of "See Me, Feel Me/Listening to You" at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. In between these rocking performances, we get to see the four men reveal their true selves during interviews, such as the one done by English TV show host Russell Harty. Here, you get to see them display their sense of humor, with Harty not batting an eye. They are also asked, by various fans, questions on topics ranging from drugs to looks. Although all four members are interviewed, none is interviewed more often than Pete Townshend, who presents a thoughtful, serious side of himself. Of course, no Who documentary would be complete without clips of him destroying his guitar during concerts, for which he is legendary. During the "Smothers Brothers" segment, after Tom watches Townshend destroy his guitar, he tells his brother Dick to bring his guitar (so that Townshend could destroy it!). We also get to see drummer Keith Moon during his crazy, maniacal moments and on the drums. I would say he was The Who's equivalent of The Beatles's Ringo Starr, who, by the way, we see talking to Moon. Throughout this whole movie, we hear the best that these guys had to offer, including the aforementioned "My Generation" (we also get treated to a clip of them singing it at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival), "I Can't Explain", "Teenage Wasteland", "Happy Jack", "Tommy", "Pinball Wizard", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Magic Bus", and at the end, "Long Live Rock".
These men knew how to rock; their music defined a generation. If you're a fan and think that they rock, like I do, then you should no doubt love this showcase of one of the best rock bands of all time.
- I ordered this DVD on January 16, 2007 -- I can't believe that I didn't write a review at the time -- and I've played it so many times that the grooves are getting worn out. No, seriously, I'm so worried that it will get scratched that I just ordered two more copies.
I was a Who fan. This DVD turned me into a raving Who fan. It starts out with a bang (a real one, complete with drum shrapnel and burning hair) and ends with a blistering live performance of WGFA (Won't Get Fooled Again) from 1978 -- Keith Moon's last public performance with the band. There's also a live version of "Baba O'Riley" from the same session in 1978, and magical footage from Woodstock of Daltrey singing "See me, hear me, touch me, feel me" as the sun breaks over the horizon and floods the stage. Makes me want to have been there even more than Hendrix's performances do.
I just watched "Live at Isle of Wight" (as well as the Woodstock footage), and the '78 live versions of Baba and WGFA are every bit as electric as the performances in '69 and '70.
The bonus material is also fascinating: if you look at what they did during the restoration and audio cleanup of the original release, your jaw will be hanging on the floor (if you like such things).
This deserves twice as many stars as I can give it. No offense to anyone who doesn't like it, but how that's possible is beyond my comprehension.
Long live rock.
P.S. You should also get your hands on the DVD about the making of Who's Next: amazing, truly amazing -- behind the scenes info from Townshend, Glyn Johns, and many other people involved with the production of the record. It answers a lot of questions, like "Is that a *violin* at the end of Baba O'Riley?" (Yes, played by Dave Arbus) and "Is that a synth loop?" (No, but you'll have to listen to Glyn Johns's explanation because I don't quite understand it)
- This wonderful film has at last been restored to its original cinematic glory. I went to the Rialto in Leicester Square, London (where the film had been premiered) to see it in 1979, and this DVD brought the whole terrific experience back to me. TKAA was butchered for VHS release, with many little details thrown out: In many ways, the details are what makes the story of The Who fascinating. They highlight personality traits of all four members: Moon's reckless lunacy, Daltrey's pragmatic presence, Entwistle's wry stoicism and Townshend's restless energy. Of course the concert and TV footage is priceless. Any rock fan will be enthralled watching this. You don't have to be a Who fanatic. God bless the 'Orrible 'Ooo!
- If you don't already own this restored version in HD,you'll think I'm exaggerating. If you do already own this,or have seen it...excuse me,EXPERIENCED it,you'll know I'm telling the truth. Also, you obviously have to be a WHO fan,but that should go without saying,right? If there's a fire,I'm grabbing THIS DVD on my way out the door!!! Scare the neighbors,blow up the speakers, just RAISE HELL with this MAMMOTH MOTHER.
The fact that it opens with the FBI warning shaking as if a giant were about to smash through your screen is a pretty accurate opening. Somehow this movie had gotten past me for 29 years!?! Can't explain why,been a Who fan since 1969, sure I'd seen clips from it, but man, did Jeff Stein do a GREAT JOB !!! Anyway, don't hesitate if you're considering this...trust me, buy it,you WON'T be sorry, and...may you find a seller as CONSCIENTIOUS as I did ("shawnek")...they packed it so well, it might have withstood dynamite!!! Great seller,great DVD, LIFE CAN BE GOOD sometimes !!!!
- I have a friend who watched this DVD recently one night . He suffers a bit from sleep-disorder. He says he had absolutely NO chance of sleeping after the undiluted deluge of adrenaline which is the Who on this album. It makes contemporary acts seem lifeless, over-rehearsed, calculated, calculating and inhibited.
Not these guys. Man oh Man!

5 comments about Heart Still Beating.
- Put this on and watch the womens pants melt right off! Also, you will need 2,000,000 amperes heat lamp. Like they use in Abu Gahreb prison.
- Roxy Music's Heart Still Beating was released in October of 1990.
The album was recorded Live in Frejus in the South of France in August of 1982 during the tour to support Avalon.
Originally, four tracks from this concert was released as The High Road EP in 1983. In October of 1990, the rest of the concert was used to create this lasting document of the final 80's version of the band which featured original members guitarist Phil Manzanera, lead singer Bryan Ferry and saxophonist Andy Mackay plus new drummer Andy Newmark, future Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler keyboardist Guy Fletcher and Bryan's guitarist neil Hubbard and bass player Alan Spenner plus three backing singers.
This EP turned full live album included their superb cover of Neil Young's 1977 classic Like a Hurricane(original yet contained the classic elements of the original), killer versions of Out of the Blue and Can't Let Go(the former had Phil Manzanera play a guitar solo in place of the original track's violin solo).
Plus great versions of A Song For Europe, Love is the Drug, Avalon and a stirring version of John Lennon's classic Jealous Guy are among the highlight.
This was a great live album which would be their last until their 2003 reunion live album which saw the return of original drummer Paul Thompson.
Highly Recommended!
NO COUNTER REVIEWS PLEASE!
- Given a choice I will almost always take a good live cd over a good studio cd. This is a good live cd.
The cd starts slowly (the reason for docking it a star). While the songs are not bad, the only one that reaches out and grabs you is "Impossible Guitars" (a taste of what Phil Manzanera is capable of - if you like it, check out his cd "Primitive Guitars").
With "Love Is the Drug" things pick up. One of roxy's few "hits" it would likely be tough to perform this in a way I wouldn't like - but the version here is excellent. Then comes an excellent cover of Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane" - better, in my opinion, than the original. Next is "My Only Love", another well done song, then a few hit an miss attempts (the best - "Avalon" - another song that would be tough to ruin). Concluding the cd is a killer cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" - containing an excellent sax solo (with feedback!) and free whistling by Brian Ferry sure to send chills up and down your spine.
Buy this cd - there are no bad songs and several outstanding cuts.
- A fine live album. Some songs are extremely extended without necessity. But the album has good vibe, smart production, good guitar solos and the always mesmerizing voice of Bryan Ferry.
- I have NO idea what the one-star reviewer was listening to, but if for nothing else than the brilliant despair of "Can't Let Go" this live album is a stunner. And then . . . and then . . . one gets to "Like a Hurricane" and there isn't a more emotionally charged moment in any live album I have ever heard by any band. Phenomenal. Ferry is the true genius of our time.

5 comments about King Biscuit Flower Hour (In Concert).
- Actually remember audio taping this very show off the radio on a Sunday night. Recorded in Cleveland in October, 1981 - a time when Triumph was STILL Triumph {you old/er fans know what I'm talking about}. Thanks goodness it made it onto CD release. All the memorable cuts are here - like the rocking opener "Tear The Roof Off", their one-time (big) hit "Lay It On The Line", "Rock And Roll Machine", their Joe Walsh cover "Rocky Mountain Way" and the powerhouse "Hot Time In The City". Boy, does this CD bring back memories. When concerts were still affordable to everyone, before rock went totally corporate, a good ten years prior to 9/11, etc. You get the point. Sound quality couldn't be better.
- Canada's other big hard rocking power trio next to Rush called Triumph (whom were wrongly called either a "poor man's Rush" or "mutant hoseheads" by snobby critics) released their first album since 1992's Edge of Excess with the live album King Biscuit Flower Hour Featuring Triumph in February of 1996.
The album was recorded live during the band's 1981/82 tour in support of the Platinum selling Allied Forces on October 12, 1981 at The Public Hall in Cleveland, Ohio.
This concert showed me how great of a live band Triumph were.
After the uncredited intro of "Air Raid/Great Gates of Kiev" and the band walking on stage, we kick things off with "Tear the Roof Off" in full throttle with drummer Gil Moore and guitarist Rik Emmett splitting the vocals down the middle. Next is a killer rendition of "American Girls". We follow with a stellar rendition of "Lay It On The Line". Next is two tracks from the then current Allied Forces album starting with the title cut which segues into a stellar rendition of "Fight The Good Fight". Next, is possibly the performance's highlight "Blinding Light Show/Moonchild" which kicks the studio version's behind literally.
Next is drummer Gil Moore getting the crowd pumped with one of his classic speeches with Mike playing bass and Rik switching his guitars to segue into a superb "Rock and Roll Machine" with Rik's ten minute guitar solo spot.
Next is a stellar but short reading of "I Live For the Weekend" which segues into a superb "Nature's Child". Right when Nature's Child ends, we have a superb drum solo from Gil. We close the regular set with an Improv instrumental with Mike Levine getting the crowd energized. The encore starts with a killer cover of Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" and then closing with "Hot Time in This City Tonight" renamed "Hot Time in Ol' Cleveland Tonight".
Most of the stage bantering was from Moore and Levine. Gil sounds like Ted Nugent at points and is hilarious while Mike was a great stage banterer. Rik's bantering was simple with a few thank yous and was the individual who did the good night at the end of "Hot Time" and said the Triumph Loves You chant at the end of the disc (instead of Mike Levine for a change).
This album is a necessity plus the US Festival and the re-mastered version of Stages which re-instated the drum solo (missing on the original CD).
Highly recommended!
- I wasn't a big Triumph fan but I did like them. I remember hearing the song "Rocky Mountain Way" when this show was aired and I thought they did a great job of it. Years later when this show was released I said what the heck I'll get it. What a surprise!!!!!!!!!! I was not aware of how great these musicians are. They were a great trio. They belt out thier songs with great craftsmanship and are simply at thier best here. Rick Emmett is an amazing guitar player and displays great work here along with the rhthym section of Mike Levine and Gill Moore that make the trio gel.
Also they picked a great selection of songs: Tear the Roof Off, American Girls, Lay It On the Line, are among some of the songs that make it a night of great Rock and Roll.
It's a shame that this Canadian band was overlooked simply due to the success of the band Rush, because this band was a treasure and the proof is on this cd. If you are not a fan this is worth the price of admission because the music is tight, hot, and the band squeezes out every last bit of energy they have. If you are a fan, I would be surprised if this wasn't in your collection...it's a must.
- I remember finding this cd in a record store. I could not believe that it was made into a CD. I had recorded the concert off the King Biscuit Flower Hour show back in 1982. This provided a great snapshot of the concert. Naturally, the tape broke and I thought I would never hear this show again. Seeing that the radio show only played about half of the concert that I remember attending, this CD was a pleasant surprise.
Numerous reviewers mentioned that "Magic Power" was not included in the cd. Triumph did not play "Magic Power" or "Hold On" at this show. What they did play, rocked Music Hall. Rik Emmitt was on fire that night. Gil Moore and Mike Levine were a house afire. For Monday nite concert, it did feel like a Friday or Saturday nite. Truly, a memorable concert that is archived on CD. Thank you King Biscuit Flower Hour.
- recorded in cleveland in 1981 ,this cd is a must for any fan of the group. cd contains songs from "allied forces" to "rock and roll maxhine". my favorites songs are "lay it on the line" and"fight the good fight".

2 comments about In Concert: Out of the Shadows.
- Superb music DVD that is SURE to fully please any true Hawkfan. First you get an 80-minute concert that was filmed at the Opera House in Newcastle, UK on December 4, 2002. Fourteen songs total, with several must-experience 'deep album cuts'. Tunes like "Out Of The Shadows", "Master Of The Universe", "Huury On Sundown" (off their very first lp), the *ss-kicking "Assassins Of Allah" and "Earth Calling" (which carries into "You Shouldn't Do That") were all shot with a full-blown psychedelic light show. Other memorable moments include two Bob Calvert gems, "Aerospace Age Inferno" and "Song Of The Gremlins". Fellow aging long-time UK rocker - none other than Arthur Brown is guest vocalist on several songs here and serves his purpose as Hawkwind's frontman, rather well I thought. Even gets to perform two of his own songs here, "Time Captives" and "Time & Confusion". A very happening bit on this DVD is when Brown comes out all dressed in black like 'the invisible man' for "Sonic{Space}Attack". After the show, Dave Brock gives an hour long interview speaking of playing space rock, Hawkwind's expensive stage shows, musical roots, etc. Simply great picture and sound quality. A must-have.
- This is an excellent concert with the basic lineup of Dave Brock, Allan Davey and Richard Chadwick supplemented with Huw Lloyd-Langton, Tim Blake and Arthur Brown. The best thing is the track selection which is significantly different than most Hawkwind shows and features some more obscure Hawkwind songs as wll as two Robert Calvert songs (1,6), two Arthur Brown songs (4,7), one Tim Blake song (9) and one Lemmy song (10). Here is the Track listing:
1) Aero Space Age Inferno
2) Angel of Death
3) Out of the Shadows
4) Time Captives
5) Master of the Universe
6) The Song of the Gremlins
7) Time & Confusion
8) Hurry On Sundown
9) Lighthouse
10) The Watcher
11) Assassins of Allah
12) Earth Calling
13) Sonic Space Attack
14) Silver Machine
This was recorded early in the tour and although as Dave Brock claims in the additional one hour interview that they didn't have much practice time, the band pulls off a tight and energetic performance. My only quibbles are that the camera work is pretty basic and the show is only 80 minutes long so I docked it one star. That being said this is still worth the money.
