5 out of 5 stars What a rush!.......2006-08-09

This was one of the first Rolling Stones albums I ever heard back in the early Seventies, and I loved it from the start. I didn't have much to compare it to at the time, but what I enjoyed about it - and still do - is the sheer adrenalin rush. From the first adolescent scream to the last it doesn't let up. When I listen to it today - and it still gets as much play as Get Yer Ya-Yas Out or Stripped - its precisely because that's what I'm looking for. The youthful exuberance of loud, fast music. It gets me excited, as opposed to aesthetically satisfied, and why else listen to live albums?

I've come to prefer live albums in recent years - I used to detest them. Most of them aren't for intensive listening, I find, with interminable guitar solos, but for background music while I work. But this album, I keep for when I'm driving and need to get somewhere fast!

4 out of 5 stars why do people hate this album? .......2006-08-01

this is a good album by the Stones. Admittedly, the sound quality is not so great, and at times, you can't hear the band playing so well over all of the screaming of teenage girls. But this is the Stones when when they were the Rolling Stones! Before Mick Jagger morphed into Tina Turner and when Brian Jones was still alive and with the band. They were still playing rock and roll and R&B music at this point, before they got into playing a lot of "world music". I like this CD and have liked it for years..........

5 out of 5 stars Yeah, I Want it Live.......2006-06-13

This is an absolute stunner of a record. The bad boys of Rock and Roll really go to town with Chuck Berry's "Talkin' About You," and Bobby Troup's "Route 66." The latter being one of the two live songs on the record. The timeless "As Tears Go By," written by Mick and Keith along with group manage Andrew Oldham," has got to be one of the signature songs of a generation. According to my folks, it was the Boomer's big make out song. Hey, I've made out to it too, the song really is timeless. The other Mick and Keith songs that I really like are "Blue Turns to Grey" and "Get off My Cloud." Brian's slide guitar on the live version of "I'm Moving On" is stupendous, in fact the whole record is stupendously fantastic.

4 out of 5 stars When it was all new, and there were no rules............2006-05-06

(Note: This review based on the 2002 Hybrid SACD version/enhanced stereo layer only. Don't have an SACD player.)

Admittedly, this album doesn't exactly rate 5 stars, but it's been so maligned I thought it needed a few props because it's not that bad either.

The sound quality & mix aren't that great compared to todays standards (or even 1970's standards...the golden era of live albums) but hey, this was recorded in 1966. I'll be the first to admit I'm not an expert on 1960's recordings, but I can't think of any other live rock concert album pre-66 that sounds much better. Those I can think of sound a lot muddier (a Johnny Hallyday disc I have comes to mind.) If you listen to this album with that in mind I think you'll get along with it fine.

I do take exception to dubbing audience cheering overtop the 2 studio recordings (per reports), but again that's a bit of hindsight opinion. In '66 there weren't any "rules" on what a live album should or shouldn't be. To my ears though this aspect wasn't as obvious when listening as some have indicated. I had read about this, but listened to the CD without knowing which songs were involved, and had a hard time telling which ones they were. The other songs have overdubs too (more below) so these didn't stand out much more to me. And even then these were apparently recorded "live" just without an audience. Neither song sounds like a real multi-tracked multi-takes studio album quality recording, more like the band set up their gear on an empty stage and recorded a live version in one take, and then added crowd noise. "Fortune Teller" in particular has a very rushed & loosely imprecise feel to it. So maybe they're "semi-live". At any rate, I doubt many average listeners in '66 realized the difference until it was "declassified" sometime later.

Regarding the vocal overdubs, my general preference on a live recording is no overdubs at all, but again that's assuming decent recording equipment is being used that's capable of capturing all the vocals & instruments reasonably well, and can be properly mixed later on to make the album. In 1966 that wasn't the case. Even the best studios at that time were only using 3-5 track recording machines (what would be considered an entry-level amateur home recording system today) and getting a good mix & levels on all the tracks was difficult, even with the luxury of time to record multiple takes. And in reality, multi-tracking & stereo really didn't start to take off until 1967. Live recording is only more difficult, so it's not surprising if some vocal overdubs were added to the original live masters so you could hear them. And quite likely, if they hadn't overdubbed then fans would've been complaining that "the vocals are so buried in the mix you can't make out the words. Why didn't they fix that?" And again, whatever overdubs exist were recorded in a very live, loose sounding fashion.

To sum it up, to me this is a fun & listenable recording, that makes for an interesting historical peek at some of the more peculiar aspects of '60's British rock. The sound is rough, but the tonal quality & feel are consistent throughout the recording. (Descriptions of it being a collection of live songs, studio cuts & demos is misleading, implying it sounds like a compilation album...it doesn't and plays out like a single live show.) And in my current opinion, this CD has more energy & drive than "Ya-Ya's", though that one definitely sounds better.

5 out of 5 stars High Octane !.......2005-08-22

Recorded at The Royal Albert Hall, this is where the girls flung themselves and clung to Keith and Mick and Brian is seen laughing after the cops push the fans off stage and escort the band offstage.It's very amphetamine Mick and the band at it's best.

4 out of 5 stars Yeah, I Want it Live.......2006-06-13

This is an interesting record that I don't play very often. I guess it just doesn't have the real feel of a live record like the bootleg "LiveR than You'll Ever Be," and the official "Get Yer Ya-Ya's out. In fact two of the songs, "Fortune Teller" and "I've Been Loving You" were actually recorded in the studio with the applause overdubbed. I've heard the band weren't happy with this record, though I don't know how true this is. Anyway, this is my least favorite Stones early Stones record, but still it's worth four stars, because if you compare it to other groups who were recording at the time, it's head and hands above them all. Gosh, who do you compare the Rolling Stones with other than themselves? Yeah, I want it live, I just like the later live ones better, especially "LiveR." Still this record is a keeper.

4 out of 5 stars Jeez, people, lighten up!.......2005-12-24

Maybe this is my punk sensibilities coming through on this but compared to many things out there THE SOUND QUALITY IS NOT THAT BAD! Come on people, this was the 1966, you can't expect them to have mastered all the arts and technologies behind recording albums. Either way, it's irrelevant, because this album is one of the most rockin' live albums I've heard in quite some time. Yeah, so they did some overdubs. Yeah, two songs are actually studio tracks. I don't think that diminishes the quality of the album. It's so raw and ready to kick your butt. It showcases the fact that before they became, along with U2, one of the ugly behemouths of concert gluttony, they were real and raw and had Brian Jones rather than Ron (who?) Wood. Sorry, Stones fans, but everything they did after Jones SUCKS save Let It Bleed and Exile on Mainstreet, and this album only reaffirms it.

1 out of 5 stars Awful, just awful.......2005-08-02

There is no reason to own this album because the music is drowned out by screaming girls and some of this was recorded in the studio with screaming overdubbed (WTF?) - AVOID. The worst live album by the Stones and maybe the worst live album ever.

3 out of 5 stars Great music, but severely flawed.......2002-04-19

I agree that this album is a true relic of the works of the Roling Stones. The songs "Under My Thumb" and "Get Under My Cloud" were played beautifully-as if they were played in one setting and time.

Of course, "Lady Jane" is a true classic that is etched in my mind for years to come. Here,g uitarist Keith Richards played a gentle lead-accompanied by one of the greatest instrumentalists of rock history-Brian Jones (may he rest in peace), using a dulcimer that was audiable even while playing live.Let us not forget the R&B classic "Not Fade Away";of course Mick Jaggar played his heart out(as usual).Throughout the rest of the CD, bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts(banging the cymbals as always)did their parts quite well throughout the entire Cd-as well as Richards,Jagger, and Jones.And who can forget "Satisfaction" and "Time is on My Side"-considering being performed circa 1966.

This is all of the good points that I can find while listening to this relic. With the exception of the first two tracks, ALL of the other songs were fragmented together. This "fragmentation" job of editing was pathetic.If one could piece together several tracks of different authenticity, he could had done a better job-even to the 1960s standards.

Also, the "opening drum sequence(7 seconds)" before "The Last Time" is what I am talking about. That drumming sequence,before the first three chords of "The Last Time" sounded like the opening sequence of "I Ca't Get No Satisfaction" instead of the latter.

I also share my fellow reviewers'comments on tracks four and five. I thought that this was suposed to be a TOTALLY LIVE album.What a dissapointment.

Personally, despite the numerous flaws in the production, this CD is still a fine relic that you can capture the Roling Stones while they were still getting started in their fine career.I hope that other Rolling Stones fans will concur.

1 out of 5 stars Unnecessary.......2002-04-05

There was never any need to release this nor own it,nor re-master it on CD. I believe that initially it was only a US release that never came out in Britain. Only 5 songs were actually recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall show that the credits claim it's from. The rest are demos with dubbed in crowd noise,sometimes louder than the music itself.The version of "Fortune Teller" is really good though, and you can turn off one channel and here it minus the screaming girls.The actual live cuts were recorded by someone who had no clue how to record a live rock band at all;and at times most of the instruments are inaudible, and all we here are Mick and Keith's vocals. Obviously this was a record label cash in attempt, and maybe one of the worst live albums ever made.

Album Description

Recorded live at Maxwell's Hoboken, New Jersey, Feb. 17th, 2002. Washington D.C. power trio Dead Meadow formed in the fall of 1998. From its inception, guitar-vocalist Jason Simon, bassist Steve Kille, and drummer Mark Laughlin set out to fuse their love of 70's hard rock ala Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Hawkwind and Black Sabbath with their own fantasy visions of strange lands as well as a good dose of punk energy and more recent influences such as Spiritualized and Bardo Pond. What they actually created is something even more esoteric than mere comparisons can conjure. Thus far, Dead Meadow has released two widely-respected albums on Tolotta Records. They've toured with Guided By Voices & done a Peel Session for the BBC.

2 out of 5 stars Vocals with a grain of salt (or two...).......2006-12-01

I know I'm about to bum alot of people out here, but this has to be said: The vocals on this cd are really, really bad. The music itself is GREAT. I'm a guitar player, and the tones this guy gets are awesome. The recording quality is also great. No, I've never seen Dead Meadow live, but I would really like to one day. All that aside, there is simply no denying the fact that the vocals here are almost always out-of-key and it is very hard to listen to. What a huge bummer that was for me. The music sounds so good that I want to play this really loud and love it. I WANT to love this. But to be perfectly honest, after a few songs I usually end up listening to something else because the vocals sound so bad that I can't take anymore. Sorry. At least respect my honesty here, folks.

5 out of 5 stars Ebbs & flows: mesmerizing proto-heavy rock revivalists.......2006-06-12

What an impressive live album. I have few concert records, and fewer that I like. This crests and floats wonderfully, thanks to well-sequenced and thoughtfully arranged songs. Only a few, but this is not an e.p. but a generously lengthy record. Unlike many groups trying to ape the sound of 1969, Dead Meadow (great band name) combines, as their name symbolizes, the gloomy, forbidding sound of proto-metal with a lighter touch of hope in the untutored but appropriately earnest vocals, the ability to keep the guitar from being mired in sludge, and a nimble rhythm section able to keep the songs churning rather than wheel-spinning. They take the time when heavier acid-rock was evolving into hard rock that was metal as it was known in the early 70s, a more experimental approach before more assaultive rock turned into prog, punk, or all the later permutations of "metal." Dead Meadow keeps it solid without becoming opaque, and fluid without sounding light-headed--a powerful combination.

By the way, neither "Rocky Mountain High" nor "Lady" owe anything to John Denver or Styx. For better or worse I presume. But "Good Moanin'" is a great song title! The album title seems to be as far as DM will go in any direct reference to the past. [I should add for any potentially bewildered buyers that this is not the Stones' first live album.] This band plays it straight, as opposed to Oneida's post-grad sensibility, and unlike Steve Malkmus who seems lately to be drifting back to the same period from which DM takes its spirit.

While Dead Meadow's two later albums (their first one's very rare and apparently out-of-print) after this one show a more varied Led Zep-meets-Blue Cheer-mixed with acid-folk blend, this one, which records their earlier sound on stage, shows the trio already quite assured of their goals and their craft. The similarity of the tracks somehow does not make this album samey-sounding, but akin more to German krautrock of the early 70s or disciples of experimental rock like Japan's Acid Mothers Temple today: it reminds me of what you might have heard at a jam session at the Fillmore if the band was trying to play not the cosmik blooz again but an inspired and stripped-down version of rock that draws from the blues without imitating it, don't ask me how...just listen. They do not make a false move here.

4 out of 5 stars Near Perfect Performance Grew In This Meadow.......2006-05-07

This live recording of Washington D.C.'s pychedelic/early 70's rock 'n' roll throwback Dead Meadow was recorded in 2002. Since then, the group has released two of their most musically complete albums (2003's Shivering King & 2005's Feathers). This one-night set highlights The Meadow's early material in a full fathom furry fashion, true to thier form - effortlessly experimenting and stretching out solos. While the setlist's arangement could have been tweeked to give a sense of flowability, the performances are near perfect examples of catching this group on an 'on' night.

Don't miss a Dead Meadow concert if it is convienient for you. With the band playing some of its more recent material, their live experience is just that much better.

For me, the highlight is the 9+ minute version of "Beyond The Fields We Know".

5 out of 5 stars ..........2003-06-21

...These guys are the real thing, and this obscure album is their masterpiece. (Why no photo of the cover, Amazon??) If Jimi Hendrix were still around, he's be trading licks with these guys and buying them beers afterwards. Can you say PYCHEDELIC???

How this dweeby trio from D.C. became the inheritors to the 60s acid rock tradition is a mystery best left to Madame Blavatsky or the Amazing Kreskin. But they rule the universe of stoner rock the way Neo rules the Matrix.

Get this album!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good . . ........2003-05-14

If this is "stoner rock," then let the stoning begin.

Just saw these guys do essentially the same show represented on this disc last weekend in Chapel Hill, NC, as they opened for Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks. Prior, I had never heard of "Dead Meadow." Wow. What a show. Great guitar and Neil Young-ish vocals . . . dirge-like space-blues and excellent band interplay. And I found all of this on the live disc, too.

Most surprising was the beauty in much of the music. Has a strong emotional pull; similar in a way to " . . .Trail of the Dead" - not so much sonically, but in the strong emotional passages interspersed with the sledgehammerish attack.

I haven't heard any of their other albums (but I plan to remedy that). This one, however, I highly recommend. And, if you get a chance to see Dead Meadow live, do it.

    4 out of 5 stars The Dickies-'Still Got Live,Even If You Don't Want It'(Roir).......2005-02-22

    I remember years ago that 'Still Got...' was only available on cassette.Thank goodness for CD reissues,wouldn't you say?I mean cassettes break or jam all too often anyway.Total of 25 songs played in one hour's time.Any Dickies fan should be much delighted with this disc as the guys tend to show off their all American brand of high-energy straight ahead punk.Plenty of covers as well.Covers that you might not expect a punk band to play,like Sabbath's "Paranoid",Paul Simon's "The Sound Of Silence",Moody Blue's "Nights In White Satin",the Monkee's "She" and Barry McGuire's "Eve Of Destruction".Oh and they even close out the set with the Banana Split's theme.Now,that's what I call original.Just an all around fun CD to listen to.Should appeal to fans of The Damned,Buzzcocks,Generation X and the Dead Milkmen.

    5 out of 5 stars We aren't the World..........2001-01-12

    I just heard from the Dickies on this very subject. This is a CD re-release of the cassette "We Aren't the World" that was released on ROIR. The performance is excellent, although the sound quality lacks sometimes. I had the cassette of this release in about 1988 or 89 and it has long been out of print.

    Take it for what it is... that is, A GREAT DICKIES CD.

    If you are a Dickies fan, I would suggest buying the following DVD:

    The Best of Flipside Video, Volume 1. There is a great performance by the Dickies, as well as an amazing set by the Circle Jerks. There are also performances by Bad Religion and The Weirdos.

    There is also a new live video from Japan that is being released!!!

    3 out of 5 stars Lifted from a cassette?.......2000-03-27

    I bought "Dawn of the Dickies" in about 1984 and was immediately mesmerized. How could any band beat the withering, flipped-out guitar solo in "Nights in White Satin", or the playful lyrics in "Stuck in a Pagoda (with Tricia Toyota)"? Sad to say, "Dawn" has never been released on CD and I'm stuck with my old LP version (and here I am, caught between turntables! ). When I found that amazon.com had this CD available I jumped at the chance to purchase it and I have to say, I was disappointed. The song selection was great, but the CD was "digitally cloned", as it says on the back cover, from a 1986 cassette! Come on! Several songs drop out countless times in the middle and most of the CD is muddled and unprofessional. This one is only for hardcore collectors of Dickies material.....uh, like me. Maybe we can get amazon.com to exert some pressure on the record label or the band to re-release "Dawn of the Dickies, undoubtedly the finest moment in L.A. punk recording.......

    Watching Abe Vigoda and everything will be fine!

    4 out of 5 stars ok sound quality - excellent songs.......2000-03-16

    25 tracks, and not exactly like the album versions (this is good!). Excellent selection of their best songs. Now if only Dawn of the Dickies were still in print.... ah.. this cd makes me feel like im in high school.

    5 out of 5 stars Incredible Live Music from Athens to Atlanta!.......1999-09-21

    This is a really cool CD containing artist's I am extremely familiar with - Shawn Mullins, Kevin Kinney, R.E.M., Guadalcanal Diary, but also has some up and coming artist's I have now become a fan of - Josh Joplin, Dayroom, Memory-Dean, Soul Miners Daughter, and Deacon Brody. It's a must to check out the Kevin Kinney track, "Chico and Maria" - his story telling is absolutely amazing and mesmorizing, and he is an incredible performer. Also, there is a hidden track by Josh Joplin and Shawn Mullins called "I've Changed" that is worth the price of the CD itself....well, maybe along with the R.E.M. song "Country Feedback", which is a live version of one of my favorite songs from the group. All and All, I love this album because of the diversity - it never grows stale in my CD player!

    5 out of 5 stars Let Georgia show off!.......1999-08-15

    This Cd contains some great bands from Georgia including Shawn Mullins, REM, and Soul Miner's Daughter. All songs on this CD were recorded in Athens, GA and purchasing this CD will benefit a local charity. Buy some home-grown music!
