Breathtaking Live Peter Green Fleetwood Mac.......2005-08-14

The definitive introduction to Peter Green-era FM.......2000-05-27

The only problem with this set is that they could have given us more! I would have liked either the inclusion of "Coming Your Way" from disc 3 of the original BTP 3-disc set, or the compression of some of the shorter tracks on disc 2 to get "Rattlesnake Shake" from Disc 1 of the BTP. Still, close to two full hours of the Mac at the heights of their powers, coupled with the reasonable price tag, makes this essential for blues fans and oldschool mac fans, and for people like me, who are going retro to discover the greatness of the band's earlier days. For the fanatics though, you might want to skip this and look for "The Boston Box" which has a more complete selection of all three nights.

SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVE- Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops.......2007-03-14

Great Ballet Music CD - Buy It!.......2005-09-25

It's a starry, moonlit night in 50's Manhattan...........2003-02-16

By all means, beware of later incarnations of this album which were altered beyond all recongition, with only "Rodeo" and "Fancy Free" left on it, along with the title tune. It is NOT the same album! Somebody at BMG had the good sense to find THIS incarnation in RCA's catalog, which isn't TOO mangled, to represent Fiedler and the Pops at their finest, and market it in lieu of the latter mistake! The original, "Orthophonic" version, which included "Sebastian" and "Petrouschka", is, apparently, either still buried in RCA's vaults, or, regrettably, no more....

I often picture Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse traipsing down 1st Ave. to the best music on this album. The "Fancy Free" pieces would have made GREAT title themes for Tim Burton's "Batman " movies. (Okay, Warner's...remember me when you use that idea!)

If you lived through the fifties either as an adult or a child, or if you want to know what nighttime felt like in a good urban neighborhood between 1930 and 1960, GET THIS ALBUM!!

THIS IS BAD.......2002-03-18

Unique collection of Dances.......2000-03-27

The title music was all I wanted it to be and it was pure serendipity to also receive the rest of the selections on the record. Some I was familiar with, but the rest have since become some of my favorite music. The fact that I am back getting a CD of the music helps attest to its timeless value. After almost exactly 40 years I am still not tired of it and am looking forward to being able to hear it again in about the clearest form possible. Now I will be able to listen to it in my car as well as at home.

Maybe it will help to know that I think Slaughter On Tenth Avenue is the best piece of American music ever composed.

My tastes run toward music with strong melody lines (such as Greig's music) and all of the selections in this disc meet that criterium.

A nice collection.......2002-10-05

This one was very well done, as I expected--it's from Sony.

I also got "70's Pop Hits [BOX SET]" (Sony), a three CD set, also very well done, with maybe a half-dozen duplications of tracks on "Greatest Hits of the 70's [BOX SET]." The "Pop Hits" set did have one track that was in mono, which wasn't so much a disappointment as it was just plain odd, considering how good the rest of it sounded.

I give them both five stars for the price and quality of recording.

that tone! Those blues riffs he just tosses out--how did he do it? And his scary lyrics..Oh, and Jeremy Spencer's wicked slide playing. Three great guitarists. And the rhythm section, uh ,oh yeah Mick Fleetwood and John MacVeigh. One of the only "jam bands" that doesn't bore me to tears. Cheers!
Almost forgot...as Jeremy asks, if you believe in prayer, please pray that Danny comes back to us, or at least finds peace one day.

Great Live Album, but little disappointed.......2006-10-14

In Feb. 1970 the original Fleetwood Mac line up with Peter Green recorded three nights at the legendary Boston Tea Party. Vol. 1 serves up a generous 69 minutes of live music with a couple of extended jams (Rattlesnake Shake at 25 mins. and Green Manalishi at 12 mins.). I'm a huge fan of the blues and early Fleetwood Mac, but I have to say I was a little disappointed with the CD. While I think it is a great show, the recording catches the band at a point of tradition. Peter Green was starting to turn away from traditional blues and becoming more experimental pushing the Blues format in a new direction. That's fine and the music is great, but for folks looking for a live version of their original work this is not it. I much preferred English Rose and the album they did with Otis Spann. If I was to rate this as a prue blues album it would be only 3 stars. As a music fan that appreciates live music I give it 4 stars.

ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERTS EVER RECORDED! PART 1 OF 3.......2006-05-18

I will be doing three reviews on the legendary three part masterpiece albums by Fleetwood Mac: Live At The Boston Tea Party Parts one, two and three released in 1998. The distributor of these three part albums is Snapper Music Inc. I will also be editing these three reviews from time to time so you the consumer will get the best accurate review possible. This review focuses on Live At The Boston Tea Party Part one. These live recordings is quite simply, Peter Green at his absolute BEST! Part one along with parts two and three of Live At the Boston Tea Party should definitely be voted as one of the GREATEST CONCERTS EVER RECORDED. If you REALLY want to hear three skillful guitarists harmonize beautifully together and REALLY ROCK OUT, then these are definitely the albums for you. Many rock fans are unaware that the legendary Fleetwood Mac were already legendary before the mega star lineup of the beautiful Stevie Nicks, the beautiful Christine McVie, the gracefully multi-talented Lindsey Buckingham and the combined multi-talented masterminds and co-founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Once upon a time in the 60's, there were three extremely talented guitarists in Fleetwood Mac. Their names are Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan and Peter Green. Out of these three legendary guitarists, only one would later be voted as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. That guitarist of course is the legendary Peter Green. Rock fans are also unaware that Peter Green wrote a song that would later be a signature trademark for another of rock's premiere guitarists: the song is "Black Magic Woman" by the great Santana. All three parts of Live At The Boston Tea Party highlight all three legendary shows recorded on February 5th, 6th and 7th, 1970. In Part one, all the songs are well performed but I will only review certain songs and not all eight. On part one of Live At The Boston Tea Party, Fleetwood Mac takes the stage and doesn't waste any time. The band begins with the legendary "Black Magic Woman". This live version sounds completely different from the version we are all accustomed to listening to by Santana. This version by Fleetwood Mac really rocks and explodes at the end. You have to listen to it to believe it. After "Black Magic Woman", Fleetwood Mac jumps right into the next song entitled "Jumping At Shadows". Part one's version of "Jumping At Shadows" (Unlike part three's version), is a little mellow but still kicks. The song "jumping At Shadows" is so haunting and disturbing that Peter Green pretty much pours out his very tormented soul through his blistering guitar playing. Peter Green's singing and guitar solo is absolutely breathtaking. Just imagine what Part three's version of "Jumping At Shadows" sounds like. Next, we jump down to the fifth song entitled "Rattlesnake Shake". "Rattlesnake Shake", another Peter Green composition (Co-writtened with Danny Kirwan), was also trademark song for the legendary Aerosmith. Part one's version of "Rattlesnake Shake" (Unlike part two's version), is also a little mellow but still ROCKING. "Rattlesnake Shake" (Like part two's version), clocks in at least around 25 minutes long and features some of the greatest guitar playing that you have ever heard. Next, we jump down to the haunting eighth and final song of part one entitled "The Green Manalishi". "The Green Manalishi", also a Peter Green composition, was also a trademark song for Judas Priest. "The Green Manalishi", as described in Peter Green's own words: is about his conversations with the devil concerning his battles over his tortured tormented soul and losing his frightening sanity. Listening to the lyrics of both songs "Jumping At Shadows" and "The Green Manalishi" closely, these songs truly define what would soon be the illness that would haunt and torment such artists as Peter Green and Brian Wilson to this day. The illness of course is called Auditorial Hallucinations. One of the most frightening symptoms of this evil illness is hearing voices or evil spirits haunting and tormenting you. You are probably asking yourself: What took so long for these three part albums to come out? Fleetwood Mac originally recorded these live shows in hopes of releasing the ultimate live album. However, the resignation of Peter Green from the original Fleetwood Mac lineup dashed and cancelled all hopes and the project was shelved indefinitely. There is no doubt that these three part live concerts would have been the ultimate live album and voted one of the greatest live albums ever recorded had it have been released as planned in 1970. Recordings of these breathtaking concerts were only available in "Bootleg" form with terrible sound quality throughout the 80's and 90's, but it wasn't until the late 90's that the original 8-track master tapes were finally found and digitally remastered with the HDCD recording technology process. In my opinion, TRUST ME, These three part "Live At The Boston Tea Party" albums are ALL WORTH EVERY PENNY! If you love the Blues and REAL Rock n' Roll, I DARE you to check these three parts out, you won't be sorry or disappointed. Thanks for your attention and reading my first of three parts of the "Live At The Boston Tea Party" reviews. I hope you read all of my reviews when time permits. Take care. J.L.

Superb.......2004-08-17

Superb live album. I could do without the Jeremy Spencer slide guitar and 50's imitations, but Peter Green is top notch. The Green Manalishi solo is some of the best blues guitar soloing I've heard. If you like blues guitar, you must give it a listen.

The Mac at it's improv. best..........2004-01-24

If you get this, get all the volumes. This will make you forget that little band from the '70s that sang Go Your Own Way, Rhiannon, and Don't Stop.

This is the original Mac, at its very best live.

Turn it up, and listen to the Mac blown your minds.

It is definately a Mac Attack!!!

Lockhart's Debut Recording with the Boston Pops.......2004-08-13

RUNNING WILD is collection of Glenn Miller favorites and is Keith Lockhart's debut recording with the Boston Pops Orchestra. The musical quality is good. While it does not demonstrate the style that Lockhart would later develop with the orchestra, it certainly offers glimpses of what is to come. Perhaps the recording's strongest tracks are the musical numbers with guests: John Pizzarelli and the King Singers, especially the album's rendition of "Chattanooga Choo-Choo". One of Lockhart's greatest strengths is selecting guests to accompany the orchestra and this album is a foretaste of what is later to come, particularly on the Celtic and Mexican collections released later in Lockhart's tenure. While the album is good, and Lockhart seems to enjoy conducting these Big Band pieces, his rendition of "In the Mood" is missing something, which is surprising since this work is such a staple at Pops concerts, but even a not quiet the best rendition of any piece by the Boston Pops is still far better than much of what is available.

"Runnin' Wild" will get you "In the Mood" for Big Band tunes.......2003-11-08

When John Williams stepped down as conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra after 14 successful seasons, the talented young Keith Lockhart was chosen as his replacement. Looking more like a college freshman than music director of one of America's most famous orchestras, Lockhart has proved to be just as adept and popular as Williams and the late Arthur Fiedler.

1996's Runnin' Wild is a collection of songs made famous by Big Band era orchestra leader Glenn Miller, whose civilian and later Army Air Force bands provided audiences with music to dance to (and love to) before and during World War II. Before his mysterious death in December 1944, Miller's band and featured vocalists gave the world such beloved swing standards as "In The Mood," "Chattanooga Choo-Choo," "A String of Pearls," and his signature theme, "Moonlight Serenade."

Listen to this album, close your eyes, and the Boston Pops Orchestra transports you back to the 1940s, with young men in uniform dancing with either their wives, sweethearts, or USO girls to the fast-paced "Runnin' Wild"...gently swaying the sweet "A String of Pearls" (featured in the film The Glenn Miller Story)...or sharing that last sweet bit of lovemaking to the slow beat of "Moonlight Serenade."

Of the 16 selections, "Moonlight Serenade" is the one I am most familiar with, having heard it as incidental music or "source" material in so many World War II movies or documentaries. It's slow, gentle, romantic yet sensual, and it's the only "Glenn Miller" song actually written by the bandleader. Originally titled "Now I Lay Me Down to Weep," it was a big hit in 1939 and was the theme song for both Miller's and Tex Beneke's bands. The Pops' performance of it captures its air of nostalgia perfectly, and the clarinet solo by Thomas Martin is simply fabulous.

Modern standards singer John Pizzarelli and The King's Singers show their stuff on several tracks, most vividly so in "Chattanooga Choo-Choo," which was another chart-topping hit for Miller in 1941, the year the U.S. entered World War II. Pizzarelli has a way of channeling the great vocalists of the era, with his easy-to-listen voice and flawless delivery. The King's Singers are wonderful backup in other songs, including "Serenade in Blue" and "(I've Got a Gal in) Kalamazoo."

As a soloist, Pizzarelli shines in the more romantic (and slower) "The Nearness of You," a song that might have been on a serviceman's mind when reading a letter from his wife or girlfriend.

Another sentimental favorite where Pizzarelli performs well is 1940's "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," a song introduced in Britain and popularized not only by Glenn Miller but also Guy Lombardo and Sammy Kay.

Several genres also get the Glenn Miller treatment, such as opera (Verdi's "The Anvil Chorus," from Il Trovatore), vaudeville ("My Blue Heaven") blues ("The St. Louis Blues March") and even Russian traditional songs ("Volga Boatmen").

So if you want to get "In the Mood" and have a good time listening to a fun Boston Pops Orchestra album, Runnin' Wild is definitely worth getting.

Great fun!.......2000-11-02

I bought this CD three days ago and it hasn't left my CD player since. There is nothing like waking up and putting on "In the Mood" to start your day, or listening to "Moonlight Serenade" to end it.

Okay, but lose the cover.......2000-05-31

The Pops are a Boston institution. They have been a tradition for many and familiar to most. I have been to the Pops probably as often as to Fenway Park. I like both and find great comfort in each.

What happens with much of what the Pops attempt here is goofy. The cover art, is I presume, similar to the old Arthur Fiedler covers where he wore a funny coat or hat and tried to look less symphonic and more silly. Give it up.

The strength of the Pops is the traditional, predictable format and arrangements that are as easy to identify as your own child. That too is the unfortunate part of the Pops. There needs to be a little something new here.

So if you enjoy the traditional string arrangements and percussion of the Pops this will not disappoint you. If you are trying to get a youngster excited about this music you might more easily find an elevator and listen to the musak.

Classical arrangements, novelty music and patriotic songs are the best the Pops can provide. The swing music just doesn't do it for me.

Runnin' wild? Maybe with a walker.

Swing at its best!.......2000-01-08

I'll tell you a little story about this CD from Keith Lockhart. I'm a baby-boomer brought up on swing and am constantly looking for quality big band recordings. I bought this album several years ago when it was first released and I loved it. Whenever I played it at home, my 18 y/o daughter gave me the business about my "old fogey" music. One day, however, I happened to come home unexpectedly and there she was in the family room with "String of Pearls" at nearly full volume. I bought her the album when she went to college and she says that she's since converted nearly half the dorm to swing. This is probably the best recording of big band sounds ever. Also look at "Pops Stoppers" which is half big band tunes and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)". Both are excellent as well.
