Think what you will of the Dave Matthews Band but they certainly know how to keep their fans satisfied. Just eight months after the release of the lavish Central Park Concert package comes another generous helping of live material, this time in a limited edition three-disc set compiled at the band's 2002 concerts at Washington State's scenic Gorge, one of its favorite venues. With more than three-hours of music and video, recorded in 5.1 audio and shot with over 20 high-definition video cameras, even fans that missed the shows will feel the mosquitoes buzzing around their ears. And it's easy to see why Seattle resident Dave Matthews and his cohorts feel at home here--the natural backdrop provides the perfect setting for their gently inspiring music. "I feel like I'm making a racket in a place that should be quiet," the frontman says at one point in the documentary, which may suggest why this is a more reverential, detail-oriented performance than its Manhattan predecessor, particularly in songs like the acoustic "Gravedigger" and the leisurely 15-minute-plus version of "Lie In Our Graves." --Aidin Vaziri

They're ready to entertain and enlighten at the scenic Gorge.......2006-12-03

The sound and style of the Dave Matthews Band gets better with every concert, every studio release, every live performance, and they possess the uncanny ability to sound different every time they play, but always adding more depth to their musicanship without even trying. If any fan or even mere listener has never seen or listened to the band live, this CD/DVD set would be a great invitation to experience the energy this band puts forth to the stage. The two CD portion contains some of the best classics like "Rapunzel," "Song That Jane Likes," "Fool to Think," "Drive In, Drive Out," "Space Between," "Two Step," and "Lie in Our Graves," among many others. The DVD portion only illustrates the energy and talent this band brings to the stage. Performing at Washington's Gorge, one of the band's favorite venues, they bring many classics to life again such as "Dancing Nancies," "Seek Up," "Ants Marching," "Tripping Billies," and a terrific opener with "Grey Street." Whether you're listening to the CD or enjoying the DVD concert, you'll be engaged by how well these guys can bring many different sounds and varieties of music together. And if you're already familiar with the DMB as a live act, you'll only see and hear how each version of a classic they perform somehow sounds different and deeper than the last. Quite simply, this release demonstrates the magic that is the Dave Matthews Band.

Live at The Gorge.......2006-07-17

If you love and appreciate the art these guys produce from creating a variety of music styles, then this CD & DVD combo and all of the rest of them are for you... I Do

I'm disappointed..........2006-05-05

I'm a huge DMB fan and I have every released live CD along with several bootlegs. Now I have this 6 CD set of "The Gorge" too and it's disappointing compared to other live releases.

When I heard "Satellite" hoping it to be a great performance (the only really good performance I know of "Satellite" is actually the one from the "Lost Acoustics", Dave with just Tim Reynolds) I was pretty shocked when I heard Dave trying to sing those high notes. As if that's not bad enough his voice sucks on a lot of other songs too, not to mention the overall bad quality of the recordings!

This is definetly not something for starters of DMB... I'd say go get the "Central Park Concert", "Live At Red Rocks", "Live At Luther College" or the "Complete Weekend On The Rocks 8 CD set" to start with, "The Gorge" should be ordered the last one and only if you're a hardcore fan!

DVD alone worth the price.......2006-04-15

I own a number of concert DVD's, and have to say that the DVD alone is worth the price of this set. It's a great "best of" concert.

After all, a good Lie in Our Graves live version!!!.......2005-10-23

There is not that much to say:
1. This album is great because it tries to cover songs that are most of the time left aside in live performances (like Song that Jane Likes, You never Know, Everyday, kit Kat Jam, and so on)
2. It contains a nice dvd that comes along with the two equally satisfying CDs.
3. Here's the main reason of having/loving this album : LIE IN OUR GRAVES. This 17 minits version is amazing!! this was a song they never quite got well in show, the special atmosphere of the quiet part was always not as intimate and emotional as on the studio version. But this time, THIS IS IT!! Everyone is at the top of their skill, and the piano part is very well introduced.
4. Other standouts:
- Song that Janes like: good energy, it is beautifull and not too long, just enough to wonder why they don't play it more
- You never know : i just realized this song is good listening to this version.
- Evryday : the sing along is not annoying, but really fits in the atmosphere created. Pretty different from the original, but real nice, alotough somewhat low-key.
- Warehouse: Good version. Energetic, tight, without never-ending jams.

The only disapointing part is:
Two Step is way too long, way too improvisational, way too annoying after a few minutes of drums only. Skip it,I reckon.

Bottom line : I think this is my fav DMB live with Live at RedRocks (which is THE classic, by the way).

Prince is just plain Prince........2006-08-09

For better or for worse, the man still has not changed much in the 22 years that I have been a fan of his. I still see that his concerts go big on the most recent material (i.e. things he has with a new album) while alot of the oldies are glossed over and played for about 15 seconds (enough just to get one refrain in):(
I swear to you, this box set is sorta the same old thing you can expect from this man. I paid $50.00 for this and got three CD's worth of music (some great, some so-so and some just overly long stuff) You mostly pay $25.00 for the music and $ 25.00 for the box itself with the booklet inside! I almost feel the rube but I am willing to give this a second chance. So far, not so pleased though:

Prince is a brilliant genius. What can you say he loves to jam. And in one of the CD's "It AINT over", there the man is playing "Girls & Boys". Which come to think of it is almost 8 minutes of him & his band and the only reason this is considered "Girls & Boys" is because the chant of "I love you baby, I love you so much" is said by the audience at the beginning of the song! How is that "Girls & Boys??!?? I love that song, but with no Eric Leeds onstage with him, that song is NEVER to be played! The same treatment is given to "Peach" ANOTHER great song which leaves U thinking "What the hell..?" Prince obviously dances to the beat of his own drummer. Lol And so it goes on.
The second CD has alot of Prince just doing his regular "slow jams" melodies and I swear you will think because you see on the CD listing for "Diamonds & Pearls" and "Do me Baby" but get ready for just 20 seconds of each song (thus, that is considered long enough for a track listing (???)) Then get ready to hear yet another over-long rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "Anna Stesia". I swear, why does he love "Nothing.." so much? It was never a hit for him! It's his song so whatever...("Adore", "The Beautiful 1's", "Take me with U" and "Raspberry Beret" are given good treatments, but "Diamonds & Pearls", "Free", "Do me Baby" and "Starfish & Coffee" are given the bum-rush jobs)
Obviously, as always the man wants people to know his newer material "Muse 2 the Pharoah", "1+1+1 is 3", "Everlasting Now", "Avalanche" et al are all mostly played their entire length. That's fine, but don't be SO impatient to run through your catalogue so fast that certain songs (new or old) suffer from BEING TOO SHORT!!!!! He USED to take his time with his songs when the concerts were simpler (think Controversy tour 1981), when "Purple Rain" hit, the concerts became more rushed in my opinion.

Save the $50. This set has bad false advertising, plus it's from a period of time where Prince's "Hero" Larry Graham got too much stage time. (I thought Sonny T was Prince's hero???)

Wish I would have Been There!.......2006-08-06

Very hot, at times experimental, incredible muscicianship, and flat out funky songs! A great package, and worth every penny.

ROCKS HARD IN A FUNKY PLACE.......2006-03-31

One Nite Alone...Live! delivers rich funk, smooth jazz and powerful rock! Maceo Parker, Rhonda Smith, John Blackwell, Renato Neto join Prince in this amazing 3 disc live recording. From the opening track "Rainbow Children" to the final track "Everlasting Now" you'll be transported to another planet! Song like Rainbow Children, 1+1+1=3, The Beautiful Ones, Joy in Repetition, Take Me With U, Do Me Baby deliver the album. Amazing collection of material that will please the new fans as well as the old ones. Overall, Prince - One Nite Alone...Live! is truly one of the greatest live recordings out there! This album will not disappoint! Solid live material, beautiful music/vocals, over 30+ songs are presented. Will make a great addition to your Prince collection!

Prince One Nite Alone... Perfection Y'all.......2005-11-30

I have never heard a live concert of this nature! I am an avid Michael Jackson. Pound for Pound Prince takes his live music to an entirely different level. This music is estacy! This is absolutely a wonderful concert collection that I spent nearly 2 months looking for and then I found it at the Virgin Music Mega Store in Time Square!

I dont need to go song by song... from start to finish its an absolute roller coaster of nothing but music!

Soul, Jazz, and R&B under one roof... too much!

I've also got to say, I wasnt a Prince fan until I saw his concert live in Las Vegas. After that I was hooked!

YOU DONT NEED TO BE A FAN TO HAVE THIS COLLECTION ON YOUR IPOD!

THIS ALBUM KEEPS ME BUSY WHILE ON THE SUBWAY!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

100% FUNK MUSIC!

Awesome.......2005-11-10

Even if your not a Prince fan, this album will blow you away if your a music lover. His arrangements and the level of perfection on this album is out of this world.
You just dont know what he'll do next on every song. The solo's, the breaks, the singing and musicianship is one of the best I've heard on one single album. You also get the feeling that they are enjoying it, yet so disciplined and organised. None of the songs are overplayed and even the tracks that are over 7 or 8 minutes keep you on the egde waiting for more magic. This album is worth every penny. Buy it.

Product Description

"Many guitarists dabble in slide guitar, but the number of modern masters can probably be counted on one hand- Roy Rogers is surely one of them..."- Guitar Player Magazine. This Roy Rogers' first ever live CD. Drawing on inspiration and material from a career that spans decades of performing, Roy Rogers is considered one of the world1s leading parishioners of modern slide guitar. This is a Bandlink Enhanced CD which enables you to access new and exclusive Roy Rogers content- instant tour dates, news alerts, bonus music tracks, live video footage and direct chats with the Roy. Nominated for 8 Grammy1s for his production and performing work in the recording industry, Rogers1 has been immersed in the blues and roots scene and performing professionally since the ripe age of 13. This longtime Northern California resident picked up a nomination for the prestigious W.C. Handy Award in the Best Instrumentalist Guitar category last year for his release "Slideways" which hit #3 on the Blues Billboard chart. In addition, Rogers' recently co-wrote the song 3G1Nawin on It1 (on 'Silver Lining') with Bonnie Raitt which was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance category. Rogers is currently being featured on OSierra Center Stage1, the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company-sponsored television series which seeks to bring exposure to underexposed American Roots and World musicians. The CD includes special guest performances by pianist Phil Aaberg, harmonica wizard Norton Buffalo, vocalist Shana Morrison and fiddler Tom Rigney. "I am first and foremost a performer and I have been playing with these players for a long time. It's great to lay it down and not have to bother with the added textures of studio polish- but keep it as gritty and fresh as possible. I also wanted to capture the band at this moment in time and I think we did that," adds Rogers.

Ripping Slide Guitar Blues.......2006-02-14

I've always been an admirer of Roy Rogers - and I love slide guitar blues - a few of the current best purveyors being Johnny Winter, Sonny Landreth, Rory Block, John Mooney, Dave Hole, and Robert Randolph (pedal steel). Previously, some of Rogers' studio work has been a bit sterile, and sometimes his vocals can be wearing. However, in this case, Roy Rogers has set the standard in the warm, live setting of the Sierra Nevada Brewery "Big Room". All of the interaction with his longtime partner, Norton Buffalo, and the Delta Rhythm Kings, and the audience getting into it, make for an exciting listen. His slide guitar really shimmers and shakes, and all of the cuts (except for one), which were previously recorded on his other albums, really benefit from this live presentation. The recording quality itself is excellent. If you see this album - Get It!

Les Claypool's premature midlife crisis has resulted in the second of two grandiose albums in under four months. But Live Frogs--Set 2, recorded at the same two-night stint in San Francisco as the first set, is a much different beast than the inventive jam-band noodlings of its predecessor. And beast is the operative term. The bass master decided to take on the darkest of Pink Floyd's albums, doing an almost note-perfect rendition of Animals. Claypool and company have subsumed Roger Waters's nihilistic lyrics and rendered them even spookier by giving them a more ominous comic-book feel--imbuing the words with much more irony and adenoidal bite than Waters and David Gilmour's original sterile, android-like vocals. Although Frog Brigade's made-for-TV version of the bleak anthropomorphic classic lacks the subtle orchestration of the original, they do make up for it in sheer zealousness and invention. --Jaan Uhelszki

Floyd's Animals done justice.......2007-02-01

If you are a Floyd Fan ~ this is truly an experience you will want to hear. It's the full album ~ as it should be. I recommend it highly.

best Les Claypool offering .......2007-01-29

Not only is this the best Les Claypool offering, it's only the second CD I have kept of him. Oysterhead is another, but I rate that second to this one. Pigs on a wing songs start and end this cd is, well not much, it's all the meat of the 3 songs in the middle. I have this on ipod and we sat on the north shore of Lake Tahoe and watched the sun set with this baby going. its a long 3 songs, Talk about trippin.

Sorry to slam all the rest of his work, I just don't like it. Primus sounds to much like a bunch of guys running into each other. I have given Primus cd's and tried 2 concerts, all because I love bass and Les is well, you know, the man on bass. Frogs live 1 didnt work for me either, now the SHOW was cool, loved that, but does not transfer over to cd that well. why I have no idea. I WANT it to work out. I wished I were into ALL Of the mans music.

I saw Frogs in concert in what, 2001?

Todd Huth on geetars. He was bringing out all kinds of dif ones.

And Tree Frog, that's his name, on percussion, he wore this all green doctor outfit, and just went ape on the drums, standing the whole time. That was a show!! One of the best I ever seen of any show of any band, and I have been to hundreds of concerts. I am only a couple months older than Les.

Sherik on sax, monster player.

And the man that drove the whole show, not Jay Lane, some black guy on drums, who IS this guy I have not been able to find out. Was a sit in? I have seen the primus DVD with the frogs and the black guy that was in the show I saw is not on the DVD, and several shows are on the DVD, dude was killer! Looks like Isaac Hayes or close! Drove the whole show! Why isn't he on the DVD??!!!??? WHO IS HE! Can anyone tell me? Please post a reply if you know.

So if you or someone you know like PF AND bass, but not Primus type metal, then this is the deal. Heck I dont even like most of PF the WALL album, but Roger Waters In The Flesh CD/DVD is one of the best all time albums ever. That can spin on my ipod just about anytime and never get tired of it after all these years.

what the hey, I guess I am as weird as Les.

maybe this is due to the Flesh cd and Frogs live 2 put out so much power out of the recording? All the reg PF cd's dont put out any power, I have sold them all. why is all this, I dont get it. Is it the people who mix it? the producers? the equipment used to record it? I can take these same cd's and play them in everything I own, home, car, ipod, all several thousand dollars worth of media, rattle windows if want, or use friends and families, its all the same. And everyone reacts the same way as I do. So go figure.

At home I also have Sennheiser 595 headphones, stunning. worth the money.

Sorry Les, I hear another version of the Frogs is out again, I missed them last year, and a new album is due out, but some delay for whatever reasons. I hope its good. Waited for how long for PF Pulse to come out and all this chatter about it that led up to it, turned out to be more lame junk.

Yea I am picky, so what, whatever, its my money, I deserve better, we all do. I know whats good after 25 years of listening.

If Les would go on tour and play a reg set and then this music off this cd for second set. At all shows not just the SF show one time only deal that turned out this great cd, now that would be stunning and floor everyone that goes and send them out the doors happy as can be.

99% Flawless, Extreme detailed atmosphere!!!.......2006-08-13

I've been a huge Pink Floyd fan for the last 20 years and Animals was always the "Dark" albumn you'd listen to when in certain moods...
I've always liked Primus, but was never a HUGE fan.. until thier DVD came out and it seemed every other weekend I'd be jonesin to watch it.. I looked through the catolog of Les Claypool and found this.. 1 week later it came to my house and was put in without a second...
This CD has such a rock solid foundation of the original it is amazing! It actually seems more busy than the original meaning the bass just jumps out at you.. I guess I was expecting Les Claypool to adlib parts of bass, but he never does..It is a serious duplicate of the original.. Its got it all.. Voice Box guitars, keyboards, sounds like Gilmour himself is playing.. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who is a Pink Floyd fan.. This beats the crap outta Roger Waters solo "Live Wall" disaster... which is nuts cause that was 1/4 Floyd..

4 Star Musicianship - 0 Star Vocals.......2006-03-10

Incredible musicianship and overall energy, but -- sadly -- the vocals make this almost unlistenable for me. I'll stick with the original.

Die Hard Pink Floyd Fan.......2006-02-25

Fans grieved when Les Claypool put his funk-metal band Primus on ice, after he declared that he had reached an aesthetic dead end. It seems the bass-wrangling frontman has worked himself out of his creative despondency. Claypool's band of collaborators, including original Primus guitarist Todd Huth, Critters Buggin' saxophonist Skerik, Rat Dog's Jay Lane and Jeff Chimenti, Pearl Jam/Chili Pepper's skinbeater Jack Irons, and newcomer Eenor, turn out 70 minutes of live alchemy with the sum so much greater than its seemingly disparate parts. The rag-tag band take obscure diamonds in the rough and transform them into extended, edgy soundscapes that tickle the ears and intrigue the mind. They breathe new spectral light into King Crimson's "Thela Hun Ginjeet" and Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" while striking such a heady funk groove in "Girls for Single Men" and "Riddles Are Abound Tonight," that you'd swear Bootsy Collins was on board. Just when you think you're beginning to understand where this eccentric outfit is headed, they switch gears and you find yourself on an island paradise swaying with the palm trees on the surf-o-delic "Hendershot." Live Frogs is jam rock of the first order. --Jaan Uhelszki

Album Description

All of the original songs are garnered from Claypool's two side project releases to date. 1994's Sausage release 'Riddles Are Abound Tonight' and the album 'Highball With The Devil' from 1996. Standard jewel case. 2001 release.

Customer Reviews:

Amazing live set from Primus frontman.......2006-10-04

Absorbing concert jam, far from comfortable due to acquired taste Claypool, but undeniably proficient in the art of the warped live jam. Playing a majority of original solo material, the decade old stuff has positively taken on a new shine. Claypool's unabashed enthusiasm for incorporating a broad range of musicians into his maniacally comical live sessions, including this time the heavy incorporation of surf sax, will have fans basking in the new interpretations. The two cover songs as well are handled with eccentric, talented care. With most things Claypool, the performances can get a little over-indulgent, loosing track of melodic structure in favor of pure unbridled rhythmic jam- despite there being an abundance of outstanding solos and synergies throughout the musical show off. Still, anyone interested in the art of the jam, granted one will accept the perverted spin Les puts on the genre through his nasal vocals and aggressive, quirky instrumentation, will be heavily rewarded with this great live experience.

buy this live album immediatly!.......2006-04-26

this live set of les claypool's fearless flying frog brigade is extraordinary, an explosive first set right off the bat with Thela Hun Ginjeet and just doesnt quit the entire show, everyone playing at this show are in the peak of their playing, it just sounds amazing, not one single note is off, or wrongly played, absolutley one of my favorite cds i own, if i ever lost it, i would need a replacement, if youre a les claypool fan or just love straight up solid funky jams, get this cd, you wont be sorry

Quite possibly the best live album I have ever heard........2005-09-16

The title says it all folks. I will do a song by song review, and note: this album gets a five, but i am grading the songs based on the others in the album; they all get 5/5 otherwise, but in the context, some are better than others:

Thela Hun Ginjeet- A King Crimson tune, the frogs do a great job of interpreting it on the stage. However, even though this song would be the highpoint of any other record, here its just one of many greats. 4/5

Riddles Are Abound Tonight- This song kicks. It just does. Les plays bass like a madman on this, and just doesn't stop. Eenor and Todd Huth battle it out on guitar, while Jay Lane and Jeff Chimeti hold the groove, and Skerik busts out a fantastic sax solo. 5/5, and well deserved.

Hendershot- Surf's up! Hendershot gives Eenor and Skerik time to stretch out, with extended solos and nice groove development. A fun listen indeed. 5/5

Shattering Song- This song is very iffy with me, as at times I am bored by it, and at other times I am completely blown away. Today is this song's lucky day, as I can't help but love it. 5/5

Running The Gauntlet- The solos in this song save what is quite a simple-structured piece of music. Jeff, Eenor, Todd, Skerik, and finally Les get to stretch out some solos, and although amusing, this song is actually a lower point. Still a very strong piece though. 4/5

Girls For Single Men- The only song that outclasses the bass playing on Riddles is this ripping version of Girls. Les and Skerik own this show, each having a ball on their respective instruments and plain old rocking. Eenor and Todd provide great guitar lines, while Jeff and Jay and Les do what they do best- groove reinforcement. This song is a slap in the face, as good as it gets. 5/5, 10/5 if I could.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond- The Fancy Band pulls this one off excellently, but to find its origins in a Les cover band, this is the place to look. Les has always been a Floydian fan, and couldn't help himself with covering a few Floyd tunes (see Set Two). Shine On is a great example of this band's flexibility, and ends the show on a perfect note. 5/5

Buy this if you don't have it, play it constanly, never tire of it, and keep on rocking.

better live.......2005-05-15

There is an age-old saying that goes with music: "They're better live." And, for some bands, this is entirely true. Dave Matthews and the Grateful Dead both come to mind when I think of that age-old line, so why not Claypool? Most Primus fans will tell you that the energy from live Primus is simply overwhelming, and I will attest to that. Studio Claypool is amazing in itself, but hearing Claypool live brings forth-another dimension of sound that cannot transpire through the speakers of any home audio setup.

With those things said, I also need to point out that this is not Primus. This is Claypool's later project, The Frog Brigade, and they sound much more jammy then Primus. Encompassing a sexy saxophone, the Frog Brigade has a jazzier jam-vibe that layers nicely with the funk-vibe already established by Claypool's bass-work. It's difficult to describe this album, because this album is much more broad and expansive then the Frog Brigade's studio album, Purple Onion. Purple Onion is fine, but it isn't very jammy nor does it give much room for the songs to expand. Live Frogs, Set 1 is a tremendous jam album, giving equal amounts of time to every musician to screw around and just play whatever the hell they want for a few minutes.

The CD opens up with King Crimson's Thela Hun Ginjeet - the lyrics are removed, and the song is extended, giving plenty of time for Claypool to get into a nice bass groove while the band works around him. Riddles Are Abound Tonight has a fantastic Saxaphone solo, and the bass-work is incredible. It's not quite as intricate as some of the stuff that was outputted by Primus, but then this is a jam album and not a bass album. The drum work is also incredible on this song, and is actually fantastic throughout most of the CD, but it will probably go unnoticed by most listeners as the bass and sax steal the show. The live version of Hendershot is fantastic, and much more interesting then the studio version. There is a tight guitar solo in the song, and the keyboards also give the song a lot more personality. The Shattering Song is an amazing live jam, and the guitar - I'm not sure what you would call it, maybe "slide-middle-eastern-guitar" - is absolutely incredible. In front of the guitar is the bass, of course, and the keyboard, which sounds really damn good. The Shattering Song, one of the more lengthy songs has an amazing saxaphone solo, with a lot of little intricate guitar work going on in the background, all while Claypool is keeping the music flowing with the exuberant, flashy bass-line. Also, is an incredible little diddy, "The Jim Bush," which goes back to that "slide-middle-easter-guitar" thing. I guess you could call it sitar on guitar, and wow, does it sound fun to play: top notch. The live version for Running The Guantlet is also superior to the studio version (anyone seeing a trend here?), featuring a lot of cool soloing from everyone, and fantastic drum work which will probably go unnoticed by the majority. Girls For Single Men is kind of a heavy song, that would bring back Primus memories, except for the saxophone that dominates the introduction, and the fantastic underlying keyboard work. The live album closes with another cover: this time Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The cover is absolutely haunting, with just as much haunting synth-effect as on Wish You Were Here, giving more emphasis to the bass, and bringing everything out a bit. The live cover also foreshadows Live Frogs, Set 2, aka the cover of Animals (the album). All in all, this is probably one of the best live albums I have ever heard and easily would be on my top 5.

This is quite the live album to have, and is easily one of the best. The massive layering of instruments into an intricate, tight, unified whole is amazing. Everything fits together nicely, and everything jams. The production is TOP NOTCH. You can hear the crowd, but they don't overtake the music. The CD doesn't feel over-produced either, you get a sense that all the musicians on stage know what they are doing, because, guess what, THEY DO. The selection of musicians here is incredible - divine musicians. The Frog Brigade is SUPERIOR live, and has so much energy that you can't pass this one up. If you were let down by Purple Onion, pick this one up, and I guarantee you will get some closure. And, if given the opportunity, see these guys live.

An Amazing album by a collection of virtuosos.......2005-01-04

This frog brigade lve album breaks new ground in rythym and sound, and is a technical masterpiece.

Thela Hun Gingeet- An unusual song but extremely well done. Don't try to figure out the lyrics, but do figure out the amazing synthesizer solo and the sax solo (yes, that is a sax going through distortion) 5/5

Riddles are Abound Tonight- An awesome bass line, and a dark song with an amazing beat and sax solo. 5/5

Hendershot- A tropical song that by far exceeds the Holy Mackeral version. Weak lyrics but fantastic sax (again) and Eenor is the man. 4.5/5

Shattering Song- A great rythym but a bit too floaty and plodding, though Eenor's little Jim Bush piece is not to be missed. 4.75/5

Running the Gauntlet- Probably was a single on the Holy Mackeral album, sounds like you've heard it before, but the songs' derivative nature is outshined by the amazing introductions and then the solos that come after them. 5/5

Girls For Single Men- Les is ridiculous with this one, his playing is impeccable. The guitar part is hounting, and the use of ambience is awesome. Todd Huth kills in his short, but sweet solo. 5/5

Shine on You Crazy Diamond- Never heard Pink Floyd or Jack Irons version, but I'm sure this one is better. Impeccable. Amazing. Perfect conclusion (semi-, at least) 5/5

In conclusion, this is one of the best albums i've heard in years, and is actually longer than most 12-track studio albums. pick this one up if you like music.

Devils Funk.......2006-10-27

Wow get this !!
how can i put it , its not about the genre with this album its about how you take it on board ( be wary ) . Its what some might call the jazzy mans Pink floyd but again its down to the individual listening experience.
I like all kinds of Music and do not subscribe to one train of thought in discerning them one way or the other, and this had me F***ED up with a capital F. Its surely something everyone should here just to say that you have been audibly pleasured.!!!! To me its the Devil himself breaking wind and it sounds fantastic , Demonic Funk at its best ( slate me all you want jazz man ). Get it and enjoy.

Very good, don't overestimate the evil.......2006-09-17

Dense, wild, and churning, but in 2006 I don't think Dark Magus is that evil. The liner notes written by Dave Leibman give the impression that very little was planned in advance, that the group went up there and improvised over a few riffs or parts. It's a funky album, but the funk has the slackness of when a jam band tries to get funky, I believe because the band was improvising. "On The Corner" is funkier because it's tighter. There are three guitarists credited, but I can't hear all three of them playing simultaneously. That keeps the music from being too muddled. The sound is typical for a mid-70's live album, so the last thing we'd want is all 9 musicians rocking out at the same time. Miles' playing focuses on sharp staccato phrases. There aren't any long continuous solos like yesteryear. When there is a longer solo, he leaves a lot of space between notes. It's a different style, not my favorite, but it's good trumpet-playing. When Dave Liebman or Azar Lawrence come in with a more traditional-sounding sax solo, it's almost a relief to have a more familiar sound. Lastly, Al Foster's drum playing is superb, he ties everything together and gets the band going when things start to dissolve.

Funk It Up.......2006-06-20

The live CD is a "companion piece" to the brilliant studio recording On The Corner.

Though many fans may point to the sonic sound pieced together by three guitarists, the music is dominated by the rhythms set down by Al Foster, Michael Henderson and Mtume.

Miles had truly put together a legendary rock band and these final concerts were a fitting culmination of a major creative era by an artist not afraid to redefine the boundaries of jazz.

The only frustrating part of the CD is on the second disc, where a solo by Miles is faded out as if it was a studio recording. I would hope that in the future a listener will be able to hear the complete piece.

A mind-blowing jazz-funk "Sacre du Printemps".......2006-05-21

If the story about Miles Davis hating his trumpet playing on this record so much that he wanted to have it edited out is true - and Lord knows Miles's story is hip-deep in apocrypha by now - it would only be a manifestation of the kind of perfectionism one might expect in an artist of his stature. [And for those of you joining us late, the stature is that of a Picasso or Joyce.]

Put another way, the searing razor-sharp ferocity of Davis's trumpet on this recording is the single most powerful musical sound of any kind that I have ever heard. Loud and bristling as hell, sure - but also desperately articulate. Slayer can crush your skull open like a sledgehammer to the forehead. But Miles's expert cutting - like Hannibal Lecter's - can surgically remove the top of your head while still keeping you alive and then saute your brains in white wine before making you eat them.

Remember the combination of urban cool, impassioned intellect, and bad-ass groove that made Miles a bop immortal [and icon of Black Pride] in the Prestige recordings of the mid-Fifties? Now imagine that man facing painfully disabling medical problems, growing ever more (justifiably) bitter at the indignities inflicted on him by a racist society [i.e. being told by a white politician "your Mammy must be very proud of you"], and descending ever further into the hollow darkness of drug addiction and the self-inflicted loneliness created by his long-harbored misogyny. Now picture that man plugging his instrument into a 15 foot high stack of humming Marshall amplifiers powered by the entire electrical grid of ghetto Detroit during the Vietnam/Watergate toilet-flush - as the most fiercely gifted young cats on the scene prepare themselves to prove that the Great Man's faith in their talent was not misplaced.

Cue music. The result is - as Robert Christgau described this record's sibling LP "Agharta" - "a well-aimed attempt to kick the world in the balls".

Though robed in sleazy electric funk, the eruptive catharsis of this music makes it kin to a classical masterpiece like Mahler's Ninth Symphony or Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps". Where Gustav and Igor arranged instruments, Miles arranged *players* of instruments - and with as much inventiveness and artistry. [Indeed, I would argue that his achievement in the unquantifiable field of band-assembling rivals his accomplishment as an instrumentalist.] But while they were able to exercise their musical genius in an atmosphere of isolated reflection, Miles exercised his while nimbly balancing on the treadmill tightrope of fast-paced improvisation before a live audience. [Who in this case were either the rich ofays who condescended to him or the snotty jazzbos who sulked over their inability to confine him to the cage of his previous masterpieces. No, it was not a loving vibe in Carnegie Hall on March 30, 1974.]

Needless to say, this music will not serve as a pleasurable ambience for classing up your next dinner party. It is a bitterly defiant expression of nihilism from the most proteanly brilliant musical mind of the 20th century.

Sonic Voodoo - Dark Magus is Mind Altering Stuff!.......2006-03-21

First of all, a warning: this music is a dense, heavy, unrelenting assault on the listener's psyche. It is almost overwhelming and will leave the listener exhausted. Also, at this point Miles had given up playing his trumpet like a trumpet. Here he's trying to get a feel that is much more similar to a guitar than a trumpet. Does it work? Sometimes it does, but most of the time it's hard to listen to when you know the guy can literally tear things up as a horn player.

I'd always thought this was the last of the great double live sets that Miles released in the 70's. In fact, at least one reviewer below makes that claim. This concert was actually recorded almost a full year prior to the Agharta and Pangaea concerts. I had also heard this was the most intense and the best of this live hat-trick (Dark Magus, Agharta, and Pangaea). While I don't believe Dark Magus is quite as an enjoyable listening experience as Agharta (I have a warm place for Agharta in my heart, I purchased it when it was first released on Lp many years ago) it is still an incredible listening experience and yes, it is very intense; you cannot help but feel the effect of this music and it WILL change your mood. This is mind alterning stuff! Really!

Perhaps the three guitar ensemble is a little too much, because to these ears the sound seems a bit... denser than what we hear on Agharta. Maybe even too dense. Was it really necessary for what Miles was trying to accomplish? Apart from Cosey's periodic flights of blues-tinged schizophrenic electro-mayhem (a compliment), it's hard for me to distinguish just what each guitar player brings to the session.

Liebman's soprano playing is a thrill and Azar Lawrence gets in on the action on Tenor. There are some passages when Davis, Liebman and Lawrence are playing together and it sounds almost like Coltrane's Ascension meets Davis's funk powerhouse - a great example is about 9 minutes into track 1 on the second disk (Tatu). This passage is just about as intense as it gets. 1000 stars for this little piece of the overall performance.

The passage with Mtume's drum machine coupled with Cosey's bizzare freaky sounds and menagerie of percussion is very interesting. This is followed by something that begins with a "header" that sounds rather like Maiysha and a very beautiful, moody, introspective tenor solo. This is one of only passages with a let up in the all out assault on the listener. Occassionally we get polite applause from the audience. Lord knows what they must have been thinking. It isn't hard to picture the audience plastered all over the walls and ceiling in their evening gowns and tuxedos. I wonder if any of the season ticket holders dragged their wives to this one? My wife would have killed me. This show must have been a complete shock to the system.

Dark Magus is a wonderful 100+ minutes of blistering, psychedelic funk. If you like Agharta and Pangaea, you are going to love this. If you haven't heard Agharta, I would start there first and then pick this one up. I haven't yet purchased Pangaea but that will be my next stop! Another word of caution, this music will leave you hungering for more of the same and, at present, we only have the trio of live concerts and "Get Up With It!" available for our ears.

My favorite Jacqui Naylor album.......2007-02-04

For whatever reason, this album really makes me feel like I'm at the show. Personality, humor, music--the whole experience--just seems to grab me. It's brave, experimental, and classy all rolled into one.

The sound qulity is distinctly live--this doesn't sound like a studio album--then again its not.

Its always good when your favorite has two disks--a bit of Christmas year round!

TO COOL TO BE COOL.......2005-12-29

I HAVE HER PREVIOUS RECORDINGS AND ADMIRE HER FOR BEING AN ARTIST RECORDING ON HER OWN LABEL. THIS RELEASE HOWEVER IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THERE ARE FAR TWO MANY OF THE NEW CROP OF SO CALLED JAZZ SINGERS TRYING TO MIX IT UP TO MUCH TO INCLUDE COUNTRY/FOLK, JAZZ AND POP WITH AN ACOUSTIC BAND..ITS ALL STARTING TO SOUND THE SAME. DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER NORAH JONES/DIANA KRALL/CASSANDRA WILSON ETC..

ONE SINGER THAT DOES MANAGE TO CARRY IT OFF IS CARMEN LUNDY A TRULY AWSOME VOCALIST AND SONGWRITER CARMEN IS CAPABLE OF MIXING AND BLENDING SONGS TO AMAZING EFFECT.

THIS ONE IS A DISSAPOINTING PURCHASE FOR ME

A soft 5; But still a 5.......2005-07-11

If I had heard Jacqui Naylor's "East West", a 2 disc compilation recorded live at Birdland in NYC in 2003 and 2004 (disc 1) and at Yoshi's in Oakland, Ca at Christmastime in 2003 (disc 2) a year ago, I probably would have given it a 5 and a rave review. But I've gotten a little more jaded in the past year. There are just so many superbly talented yet relatively unknown jazz chanteuses out there, that I have to have something more than impressive eclecticism--which this album certainly is--to get to me.

I ran into this problem very recently with two very fine albums: Dena DeRose's "A Walk in the Park" and Kate McGarry's "Mercy Streets"; and I gave both 4 stars for that reason. I would do that to this album as well, but for these things:

1) The voice: Jacqui Naylor has one of the most arresting voices in all of jazz today. Thick, deep, and lush, at times she reminds me of Lady Day. But unlike Madeleine Peyroux, Ms. Naylor is not trying to copy Lady Day. At other times when singing more lightly (especially on the gorgeous set-ender,James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight"), she sounds more like Rickie Lee Jones. On the original cover of "So Far Away", she actually sounds like Carole King, but doesn't copy Ms. King at all. She's a vocal chameleon--but she always sounds very, very good.

2) The originals: I like her originals the best in this album,and she has a lot of them. "Julie's Song" is a great tome to a decades-long friend, whose friendship has waxed and waned but never died. "Calling You" has her brilliant accompanist and songwriting collaborator, Art Khu, showing off his considerable pianistic chops to maximum advantage. "Don't Let the Bastard Get You Down" and "Cheese Puff Daddy" are pungent, sardonic originals. "Peace in Our Lifetime" is exactly what the title implies, and is played that way. And in our never-ending quest to find a new Christmas song to play ad nauseum into a standard, may I suggest "Christmas Ain't What it Used to Be", complete with riffs from more famous carols?

3) The covers: There is only one "Great American Songbook" cover here, and it is the most swinging piece on the album: Gershwin's "But Not For Me." The Naylor-Khu duo picks some most interesting, more contemporary pieces to cover: Jimi's "Angel"; Pink Floyd's "Money"; Stephen Stills' "For What It's Worth"; and the legendary Gamble-Huff "Me & Mr. Jones", with a sex change from the famous rendition by Billy Paul for obvious reasons! This is the first time I've heard jazz covers of any of these, and while they don't all work, I give Ms. Naylor and Mr. Khu an "A" for effort. If jazz is to survive, it must quit re-mining and re-mining tin pan alley; and these musicians understand that.

4) A double album: With 24 selections to choose from, I can pick out the best 12 in my opinion, and easily come up with a 5-star album. That's not to say that all albums should be double-disced, or that my top 12 would be your top 12. But with 24 selections, there's enough really good stuff here to make this album stick in the memory for quite awhile. RC

Very Good.......2005-06-12

The label sent me this double CD because of a review I had written of a Diana Krall release, perhaps one of those in which I bemoaned the qualitative reduction of the traditional jazz trio sound to syrupy string arrangements and overproduction. This CD is the antithesis of that. I am impressed both by the quality of Ms. Naylor's vocal work and the tasteful arrangements by Mr. Khu. I notice that another reviewer compared this release unfavorably to the most recent work of Madeleine Peyroux. I have the opposite reaction. Ms. Peyroux has a beautiful and distinctive voice, but I find that it overpowers the songs in a way that Ms. Naylor's vocal treatments do not. Indeed, Jacqui sings in a straightforward and accessible style in which the melodic quality of the songs that she has chosen shines through. Each song is its own world, which is as it should be. And the restrained instrumentation provides great backing for these songs, while also showcasing some wonderful artistry on the part of the band. I particularly liked the electric organ work on the Birdland portion of the release, and the solid background vocals of Alison Evans and Rebekah Ekberg. My favorite work is Naylor and Khu's "Don't Let the Bastard Get You Down", but all of the original songs are so good that I wished there were more of them and fewer covers. In summary, I would highly recommend this release for anyone who appreciates the earlier work of Diana Krall. It really is very good.

Magic, pure magic--tell me more and then some.......2005-05-08

I picked up my copy of East/West after attending Jacqui Naylor's sensational performance at the Plush Room (April 2005). So we had the benefit of an up-close in-person treatment of many of the songs in this album--actually a double disc delight. We then took the album with us on a three day trip the next day--so we got a good chance to savor it. Here's what I think.

Quality production, top rank musicians, a singer who is threatening Diana Krall's supremacy in versatility and is head to head with Karrin Allyson in singing the blues. The venues on the East and West coasts are known to jazz people everywhere--great idea to combine them. If you go to jazz shows then you'll know that these rooms bring out the best in the artists. Nevertheless, there is nothing to replace seeing Jacqui and her group in person. Superb.

I grabbed the West disc for my car, my wife grabbed the East disc for her car--what a way to ensure family harmony! Among the many, many songs, you'll realy enjoy "Don't Let the Bastard Get You Down" and "Thank You Baby". The live audience loved Jacqui's introduction when she told about KCSM playing the Bastard song and getting phone calls prtesting the B-word! (In the Bay Area!!)

This talented lady does June Christy one better and that is saying something. After the live show I told her she had an instinct for the blues. Then I heard East/West and there it was! Thanks Jacqui!

Here's an "inside story" which you might enjoy. I emailed Jacqui before her Plush Room show and asked her to sing "Tell Me More, and More, and Then Some" which is on her first album ("Jacqui")and she obliged in the live show. Let me tell you, that brought the house down. AFTER the show I was a block away and people were STILL telling me how they loved the song and the show. So buy "Jacqui" and buy "East/West". In other words, we have a star on our hands, ladies and gents.

Kindred spirits from different countries, Canada's Rick Danko, Norway's Jonas Fjeld, and America's Eric Andersen connect across all sorts of borders on these 1991 recordings. The reedy-voiced Andersen shares Scandinavian roots with Fjeld (introduced as "a Norwegian national treasure") and New York and Bob Dylan connections with former Band member Danko, and all three steep their material in the American mythos. This two-disc set pairs a reissue of the troubadour trio's studio debut (an award winner in Norway) with the first issue of a live recording from a 1991 Norwegian festival. On the studio sessions, the harmonies are richer than some of the song craft, with Danko's vocals at their soulful best on "Driftin' Away" and Andersen's "Blue River." The live performance elicits an enthusiastic reception from the festival fans, with each of the three artists showcased solo before joining forces. Listening to Andersen's revival of "Hey Babe, Have You Been Cheatin'" conjures 1960s-era Greenwich Village, where he was one of the first to survive the "new Dylan" tag. This package serves as a memorial to Danko, who died in 1999. --Don McLeese

A Great Trio - CSN could learn a lesson here.......2002-07-24

Taking the last spot in the lineup, nonetheless, Eric Anderson is the architect and musical center for what was one of the truly great trios in modern song in the 90's. This team came about as a result of Eric's move to Norway. He has released several stellar solo recordings based in Norway that are well worth seeking out, and in the course of this endeavour, he began working with Jonas Fjeld. I'm not sure how Rick Danko and the two of them hooked up, but their debut concert in Norway is presented here as a bonus secxond disc to a marvellous recapitulation of their studio work.

This trio is the perfect antedote to the birdchirpy, often off key (especially in concert) harmonics of CSN. What you have are 3 men who can find the notes, expand upon them, provoke interesting twists on the harmonies, and introduce their personal idiosyncrasies in a magnificent tapestry. Pull Crosby out of the other trio, and you have a sheer mess.

The studio songs are extremely well executed, beautifully orchestrated. In concert, Danko flubs a bit of "It makes no difference" but flubs with enormous passion. It is an arresting example of how getting it wrong gets it totally right. Fjeld is the surprise in both the studio and in concert. He is both American raconteur and Scandanavian mystic. His tones are all Norse inflected, and his baritone delivery has a worn in quality that makes him seem part of your interior's history. That brings us to Anderson, perhaps the most underappreciated writer ever to have emerged from the same scene that spit out Dylan and Baez and Paxton and loads of other very essential writers. He writes from the heart, and his songs can leave you devastated, exhilarated, reflective, and so much more. He is a brilliant musician. Well, they all are, and the backup bands in both contexts are superlative.

Go out on a limb, here, if you are unfamiliar with these men. This was a great band that you should listen to, and with Danko's unfortunate passing, a final testament to one of Canada's greatest musicians, one of popular song's greatest interpreters.

Nice old-fashioned roots music.......2002-06-25

An expanded, 2-CD reissue of an unusual and unlikely collaboration between former Band member Rick Danko, Scandinavian roots rocker Jonas Fjeld and Greenwich Village singer-songwriter Eric Andersen. This is a pleasantly diverse outing, ranging from quieter, folkie numbers to electric jam-band tunes. The new version also includes a second disc of live concert recordings that may include a few pleasant surprises. Accomplished, confident rootsy material by an interesting trio of hippie-era old-timers.
