Free Music Notes for Buried Alive: Live in MarylandFree Music Review: When The Music's Over Hit: 2 Stars
On stage with a music stand, sheets of music, cigarettes and a guitar, Ronnie Wood and friends - Keith Richards (g), Stanley Clarke (b), Ian McLagan (key), Bobby Keys (sax) and Ziggy Modeliste (d) - partied their way across North America in 1979, playing two concerts in Canada and 18 in the U.S., along with opening for Led Zeppelin at the Knebworth Festival - to support Wood's solo album, Gimme Some Neck.
And this 2-CD set typified the oftentimes very sloppy work of a super group led by Woods - New Barbarians - playing the role of arena rock mega-stars. With promotional ads promising the possibility of "special guests" to boost tepid ticket sales, the majority of the concerts were played in front of half-filled - or less - arenas.
This October 2006 on Wood's record label, Wooden Records, is about as good as it got musically on the tour. This is rock-n-roll soaked in the licks from the blues and r & b, but more suited for a smokey bar on a very late Saturday night, not from accomplished musicians who - when motivated - could have performed much better.
Free Music Review: DON'T - BLEEP! - YOUR MONEY AWAY AS I DID Hit: 2 Stars
Despite just loving the song, "Stay With Me," I only hope that I'm permitted to live long enough to know of someone going up to Ron Wood, taking his guitar away from him (hopefully by force) and saying, "Now, Woody, you jus' go'n grow some mold or something." This thing is EL-SUCKO. True, I will purchase most anything that has Keith Richards on it - WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT GUNK W/"U2" - and, as a pretty decent bass player myself, it is my humble opinion that Stanley Clarke is second ONLY to Jaco. But even THEIR presense makes one opine, "They don't contribute enuf to this thing t' make it worth it, the effort involved in just drowning out the unmitigated noise that R Wood regurgitates on this thing." Said it before, and I'll say it again: KEEF NEEDS A >BLONDE< GUITARIST to bounce off of and work with: dig - Brian Jones...Mick Taylor...and "recently," Wino-Waddy Wachtel.
Free Music Review: Sloppy Set Hit: 2 Stars
I bought this one for some of the live releases that were not available elsewhere. It is what it was, a sloppy, jam with a few members of the Stones, trying to pay back for Keith's drug offense. I really have to be in the mood for this one cover to cover.
Free Music Review: not what you remember from 1979 Hit: 1 Stars
I saw this tour the night it hit San Diego in May of '79. That was a fantastic show. The band was loosely tight, and the vocals were solid. Keith was magnificent that night. Not true about this show at the Capital Centre in Largo, Maryland. This would be bad even if it were a bootleg.. Maybe it's just the Cap Centre. I saw the Stones there in 1975 and that was not great either, and every other time I've seen them (37 times and counting) the've bested that performance. This release is a drag because the New Barbarians were a really good show, just not at this or the Ottawa shows.
