Free Music Notes for Lighthouse Live! [IMPORT]
Free Music Review: Don't get too excited here!
Hit: 3 Stars
I purchased this CD because, as a "child of the 70's", I remember seeing this band live. They were remarkable! To be honest, though, my favorite album was (I think their first effort) "One Fine Morning" and I felt the band slid downhill after that. But that album, several of its selections appear on this live CD, sizzled and gave promise that this group had the potential to be a Canadian Chicago. Alas, staying power seemed lacking back then.
I also purchased this CD because of the passionate customer reviews given. But after listening to it - and don't get me wrong, it's a solid and pleasurable trip down memory lane - I think the passion stems in part from nostalgia. I wanted this CD to deserve the accolades - I'd love to be writing a similarly passionate review. Alas, staying power seems lacking now as well.
This live collection suffers some of the same problems of most live recordings - occasionally missed notes and occasionally uneven recording. One can argue that's part of a live recording and I'd agree.
That's not what makes this CD less than great. Maybe their music just didn't stand the test of time well. Maybe, like so many things we remember most fondly from our youth, it wasn't ever quite as good as we remembered. Maybe my tastes have changed - for better or worse - over the years. Maybe they needed more material (it's a pretty slim set).
But the bottom line? The collection didn't live up to the passion of the reviews or to my own memory of this outstanding band - and perhaps I just felt it helpful to offer a more dispassionate look at this CD.
Is it good? You bet! Is it great? No. Is it the best Lighthouse CD available? Well, that's a sticky question because the bar is apparently low (though not particularly the band's fault). You see, the greatest hits collection is truly pathetic from a recording quality standpoint and "One Fine Morning" isn't available as a CD, so there's just not a lot for Lighthouse fans to latch on to.
Bottom line: I wouldn't pay full/new price for this CD. If you can pick up a good condition used or a cheap new version, this is stil a relatively enjoyable trip down memory lane - as long as your expectations aren't too high.
