Free Music Notes for Concert for Bangladesh
Free Music Review: superb sounding remaster
Hit: 5 Stars
I was knocked out by the sound of this old recording, just a beautiful restoration. The quieter songs sound much better (particularly the Dylan set). The tune ups between songs have been tightened up a bit so the music just flows along, and most of it is quite good. The Billy Preston number is still a favorite as is the specially written Harrison song "Bangla Desh" where Klaus Voorman tears it up on that electric bass. Dylan's set is compelling throughout, and the extra track ("Love Minus Zero") is another treat. Also thought Harrison's "Wah Wah" and "My Sweet Lord" sounded better than before. The history is long over, but this is yet another of the many terrific live records from the early seventies.Free Music Review: THE FIRST AND STILL BEST BENEFIT
Hit: 5 Stars
Aside from the gripes of a demanding and never satified few, most folks agree this is an excellent album and, for my money, an excellent repackage of this classic. The box, containing the mini album sleeves and booklet, is a class package that will sit well with the ATMP and Brainwashed boxes on any collector's shelf.
The remastering is supurb and brings out the long lost acoustic guitars and details missing on the cloudy original mix. The Dylan stuff provides a bonus track and crisp, clear acostic guitar throughout. Harrison shines and Ravi Shankar's much neglected performance is top rate .
This is still the best, and now even better, of the charity albums
Free Music Review: Boss Hog in da Hiz-ouse
Hit: 5 Stars
I think they did a real good job with making this album sound better than it ever has. I had the vinyl and also the original CD, and its pretty staggering how good this sounds by comparison.
If you like George Harrison, or just even the Beatles, or even just early '70s rock music, you need to pick this up. Leon Russell blows the roof off with his medley of "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Youngblood". But thats just one of many highlights like the perfect rendition of "Here comes the sun" by just George and the great Pete Ham (of Badfinger).
Free Music Review: One of the Greatest Concerts of All Time
Hit: 5 Stars
I first bought the 3-record LP Set in 1971, when it was first released (I was 14). I wore it out (I still have it), and bought the first release of the CD a few years ago. This new remastered version is highly superior.
The concert features several all-stars, of course, and possibly the best live Dylan set ever recorded.
The DVD is terrific, too. Highly recommended.
Free Music Review: Different version of Leon Russell's songs
Hit: 5 Stars
The remastered edition actually has a different version of Leon Russell's songs. It must have been from the other show. Both are good. I like the original version a bit better because the chorus really got into the interplay with Leon. In the remastered, it's a bit more subdued. It also explains the lack of introduction by George Harrison.
