Free Music Review: My Favorite Band - A Little Disappointed Though
Hit: 3 Stars
Let me first say that LLB is one of my favorite bands. The idea of a live LLB CD had me really excited. I'll admit that they are "good" live. Actually much better than just "good". I'd happily see them live any time. What has me a little frustrated with this CD is the "slowness" of the tempos of most of the songs. On many of the songs, I found myself saying "pick up the tempo guys!". I also found the guitar solos sort-of wandered all over the place. Sometimes it sounds like a garage band "trying" to jam. Other times it sounds amazing. I also noticed that the tempos change way too often as well. You can't play a song at three different tempos, and too slow to begin with! I'm not knocking the guys at all. I'm just saying this doesn't do them justice. They can do much better and maybe should have waited for a more polished concert to make into a CD.Free Music Review: Great band; wish the audio quality was better.
Hit: 3 Stars
I love the Los Lonely Boys; their studio albums leave the listener wanting longer guitar solos and further explorations of the musical themes they create. So, Los Lonely Boys live must be a real treat; unfortunately this album doesn't have the dynamic range I would have expected and I found myself straining to listen to the complexities of the songs.
I've heard other live albums done at the Fillmore that were recorded better than this one, so my expectations were pretty high. Might try other Los Lonely Boys titles and come back to this one only if you're trying to have all their titles.
Free Music Review: Great Performance, bad recording quality
Hit: 3 Stars
I'm a huge LLB fan. This was a typically fantstic performance by the Garza bros. However, the recording quality leaves a lot to be desired. This is especially evident when listening to Henry's guitar solo at the end of "Heaven." There's a lot of static and distortion. It's like the recording channel that was recording his guitar had a bad connection. I can't recommend it b/c of this.Free Music Review: Bland Live Album
Hit: 2 Stars
Yes, I know, when a band plays the Fillmore it should go down as magic in music history. And, having seen the LLB several times live in Concert in the past couple years I have seen some awesome musicianship and incredible live playing. Unfortunately this album seems to sterilize their sound and spontanaeity and loses the great feeling I've seen from them live. Maybe they were nervous about recording and wanted it to be perfect? WHatever the issue, it does not come across well for me. Either my expectations were too high or something, but I took this CD back and was greatly dissapointed. I expect someday that they will release a true live rocker someday that really captures their awesome live sound, but this ain't it.
