Free Music Review: A decent record of a memorable event in music history
Hit: 4 Stars
(3.5-4*) This is a decent CD of this historic musical event. We enjoyed the TV coverage of the event by VH1 and Mrs. Osbourne in the USA but inevitably much was cut. The opening National Anthem played by Brian May from the roof top of Buckingham Palace is unforgetable -- visually and aurally wonderful. Unforgivably they cut Tom Jones and Shirly Bassey from the TV coverage. The CD covers more of the Party which is great. However I believe it is not a complete record of the show -- I am pretty sure I heard (a fairly lack lustre version of) "My Guitar Gently Weeps" during the show -- somebody please stick an overdriven Les Paul in EC's hands and tell him to cut loose. I found Sir Paul way too over exposed and in your face for my tastes during the show -- fortunately that is not quite so grating on the CD. Sir Paul led a couple of dud songs during the show of which only one appears on the CD [they needed a shepherd's hook to pull him off really].
Queen (the group!) stole the show - of course nobody can replace Freddie Mercury for vocals but the boys did a surprisingly good job. Other memorable momments included Annie Lennox (always great it seems), Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys doing good vibrations and Ozzy Ozbourne & Tony Iommi playing Paranoid for the Royal family (who could have foreseen that?!). Sir Cliff Richard hamming next to Ozzy was a pretty strange sight too (good Christian Cliff all in white, dark prince Ozzy all in black - clever, eh?!).
Party at the Palace: The Queen's Jubilee Concert Poster
The Recorded Document of the Monumental Concert Staged on the Grounds of Buckingham Palace to Celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee. An Absolute Constellation of British Rock Participated and Are Represented on this Special Collection.If one needed an example of rock's co-optation by the mainstream (or is it the other way around?), this 21-track, all-star live anthology is perfect fodder for the "yes" argument. Recorded at Buckingham Palace during celebrations for the Queen's Jubilee, it's sometimes hard to figure out which royalty is receiving the most honors here, the House of Windsor or the Brit contingent of rock's long-in-the-tooth royalty. Kicking off with a perfectly pompous rendition of "God Save the Queen" (Thomas Arne's, not the Sex Pistols') by Queen's (the band, not the royalty) Brian May and Roger Taylor and peppered with performances by the usual, knighted (some of them) suspects Phil Collins, Elton John, Eric Clapton, and Paul McCartney, much of this collection could have well served in 1977 during Queen Elizabeth's Silver Anniversary as well. Still, there's fun to be had imagining what must have been going through Liz's mind watching Tom Jones's salaciously swinging take on "You Can Leave Your Hat On" or Ozzy/Iommi's metal-manic perennial, "Paranoid." Indeed, it's the kitsch moments--Shirley Bassey's muscular "Goldfinger," Cliff Richard's raving rockabilly-tinged "Move It," Atomic Kitten's cover of "Dancing in the Streets"--that seem to be imbued with the most joie de vivre. Brian Wilson continues his remarkable, satisfying career revival with the evergreens "God Only Knows" (with the Corrs) and "Good Vibrations" (backed by Richard, Emma Bunton, and Atomic Kitten), performances that garner some of the evening's biggest ovations, while McCartney trots out "Hey Jude" for the inevitable all-star sing-along finale. --Jerry McCulley
