John Fogerty's first live album...
recorded in front of a small audience in a studio setting...
plenty of CCR tracks on here plus a few solo favourites also...
the songs are a good career-spanning set that encompasses pretty much what you'd expect of him...
good solid production without overdubs,well, without blatantly obvious overdubs...
sounds a bit raw and ragged in places but a good allround album that showcases just how good this guy was/is and highlights just how many great songs he has written over the decades...
i also have his other live album "long road home", but i have that one on dvd, i prefer that one, but probably more for the fact its an audio-visual thing.
all up though, a very good album from a legendary singer/songwriter...
i dont score live albums, to me they are bad, good or brilliant, this one sits somewhere between good and brilliant for me.
from the album:
"born on the bayou"
