Free Music Review: Do You Love Big Brother?
Hit: 4 Stars
Sure, the sound quality isn't perfect, but do you love Big Brother and the Holding Company? If you said yes, you should own this disc. This is a concert from early '66, a mere two months after Janis had joined, making it a must have for historical reasons alone, but the fact of the matter is that this a good concert. It consists mostly of covers done in that wonderful slightly sloppy rockin' style that characterized the early Big Brother sound. This is a blast from start to finish and I smile and bob my head with the music every time I listen.
This wasn't originally recorded with official release in mind, so sure, the fidelity's not up to many people's gold standard. For fans like me who weren't even in school yet when this was recorded, it's as close as I'm ever going to get to being there, and I'll gladly buy all these Big Brother, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Jefferson Airplane concerts I can get my hands on. The band rocks on every number. I can hear the bass guitar just fine, and I'm not one of those people who cranks the bass, so I'm not sure what that other reviewer's problem is. I've had this CD for six years now, and my appreciation has only grown stronger with time. Grab this or Lost Tapes (Featuring Janis Joplin) which also contains this material and enjoy! This is a good concert and essential listening for fans of this band.
