Free Music Notes for After Midnight: Kean College 2/28/80 (Dig) Album
Free Music Review: Stellar Jerry but Cheesy Keyboard solos
Hit: 4 Stars
While I agree with all of the above superlatives regarding Jerry's playing on this release I really really miss Merl or Melvin's thick greasy hammond tones. The keyboard tones here are quite dated, something you may expect to hear on an old hawkwind release but not with Jerry. The fills and backup are fine, even good at times when he uses as nice rhodes tone, its the occasional keyboard solo that ruin cuts for me, Catfish John especially. Again, Jerry is in fabulous form, as the liner notes say, he even remembers the lyrics! As long as you can take the dated 70-80s cheesy synthesizer solo now and then, that's why I had to take a star off! And yes, After Midnight alone is worth the price of admission.
