Free Music Notes for The First Barbarians: Live from Kilburn
Free Music Review: A fantastic Saint Ronnie's appearence
Hit: 5 Stars
It's the Ronnie Wood's presentation as himself, not like a Stone nor Stewart's guitarrist. It's a fantastic historic document with a few technical failures of its time, but a great piece of the R'n'R history. I'm proud of being a Stones fan and I'm proud of the greatest Saint Ronnie's work publihed ever. Free Music Review: For Keeps
Hit: 4 Stars
Great treat to see them on stage, but I agree the audio is not the greatest and video goes from B&W to color but mostly is B&W.Free Music Review: Tearing the Roof Off
Hit: 5 Stars
In celebration of the release of his first solo album, I've Got My Own Album To Do, Ronnie Wood got some friends together for a gig on July 14, 1974, at the Kilburn Gaumont State Theatre in London.
And what a party it was, with a sizzling set that literally tore the roof off the joint.
Released on Wood's Wooden Records, the CD/DVD is the complete show, which featured Keith Richards (guitar, vocals), Ian McLagan (keyboards), Andy Newmark (drums) and Wille Weeks (bass), with Rod Stewart dropping by for the festivities.
An 8-page booklet penned by Wood - with a number of photographs - is a special touch which shows that thought and time went into the entire production of this release. It is a concert gem that has been given a proper forum to shine.
Free Music Review: Really good release but has its technical difficulties/limitations
Hit: 4 Stars
For any Stones/Faces/Rod Stewart/Willie Weeks fan, this is a must. There's not that much video footage (legally) released of Faces, so to see Ron Wood, Ian McLagan and, on three songs, Rod Stewart, it's a treat. However, don't expect the high audio and visual quality associated with today's concert DVDs. The picture alternates between videotape (color) and what looks like film (black and white), sometimes in the same exact shot/camera angle. The color footage looks like old videotape, while the black and white footage looks like pretty good quality film, although one can still see videotape-like flaws (horiznontal lines, drop outs) in the film portions. The camerawork alternates from so-so to fantastic. Sound is pretty decent, but sounds kind of bassy, like an old cassette tape. Willie Weeks' bassplaying is amazing, as is Andy Newmarks' drumming. It's great to see Wood be a true band leader, something he rarely did in Faces and something he's never done in the Stones.
The sight of Richards playing electric piano on one tune is cool, as is the keyboard work of Faces piano-hitter Ian McLagan.
