Oh My God!.......2007-05-02

To say that Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is an understated jewel in the blues/rock world is too dismissive. They have a raw energy that could only be matched by only a few, and I can't really even think of who they are. I got Then Play On when I was 15 in 79. I have replaced the album 3 or 4 times, and still listen to it at least once a month. It is a staple in my home, car, and ipod.

I have heard, but not owned Albatross, and somewhere have two Peter Green cassette tapes. I never heard them live. What a shallow existance I have lived. I just got Live in Boston 1 and 2 today (from Amazon) and can not beleive what I am hearing. Truely some of the greatest music I have ever heard.

If you know the early works of Fleetwood Mac or Peter Green, then this is the creme de la creme. Words can not describe how absorbing the music is. I am addicted to Jam Bands (the Dead, Garcia, moe., the cheese...) and see many similarities, but mellower and bluesier.

Buy it, listen to it, fall in love with the lost art of Fleetwood Mac / Peter green et al.

Absolutely, Positively UNBELIEVABLE.......2005-04-12

This is impossible to describe in words. It defies logic. It's like asking to describe Pearl Harbor in words. It can't be done. But I will try.

This is, simply put, the most raw, intense blues-rock ever recorded. The original Fleetwood Mac. Sure, the later lineup was cool with "The Chain" and all that, but this is something else. This is pure, unbridled jamming with a capital 'J'. These performances are so intense, so rocking and so devastating that it seems futile to even compare anything else to it. Peter Green and Danny Kirwan are amazing individually. But when they actually duel and play together, it's beyond description. Case in point - "Like It This Way". Easily the most ass-kicking blues rocker I've ever heard in my life. This is a boogie that's sure to blow your mind, believe me. The groove is intoxicating, and the duelling of Green/Kirwan on this song is so good it almost reduced me to tears. You thought Duane Allman and Dickey Betts were good? Forget it, Green and Kirwan blow them out of the water. No question. In fact, the Allmans in general could not compete with Mac's jams on this album. Don't say I didn't warn you.

One listen to this version of "Black Magic Woman" and you'll be saying "Santana who?". Green's tone here is stunning, and the second half is a boogie where he and Kirwan battle it out again. Frightening stuff.
"Jumping At Shadows" is a unique cover of a blues classic. Awesome melody.
Already mentioned "Like It This Way". It's enough to tear the roof off TWO buildings!
"Only You" has a very unusual melody and riff, almost Dick Dale-ish surf rock. Great song though.
And then you have a 25-minute "Rattlesnake Shake" that takes you to places you never knew existed. Unreal. An improv jam that defies normality. If that's not enough, I've heard that the version on Volume 2 is even BETTER!! I shudder to think...
"I Can't Hold Out" features Jeremy Spencer joining in on slide guitar, and he's damn good at it. Most people don't seem to care for his Elmore James schtick, but this guy can really play, believe me.
"Got To Move" is the only song here that isn't amazing. It's not bad, though.
"Green Manalishi" really can't be categorized. Part psychedelic, part blues, it's interesting. Also features Green playing some killer six-string bass at the end.

If you haven't already noticed, this album is breath-taking. It also has the most amazing sound quality I've ever heard on a live album. It literally sounds like you're there in the front row, watching these guys tear the house down.

Better than Allmans, better than Grateful Dead, and at least equal to Cream. This is the Holy Grail of blues-rock jamming.

ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERTS EVER RECORDED! PART 2 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. These live shows were recorded on February 5th, 6th and 7th, 1970. These three part albums were all digitally remastered using the HDCD recording technology process. I will be editing these three reviews from time to time so you the consumer will get the best accurate review possible. This review picks up and continues where part one left off and focuses on Live At The Boston Tea Party Part two. If you have not read part one's review yet, I would definitely suggest that you read part one first before proceeding on to reading part two. I will be reviewing certain songs in part two and not all nine songs listed in this album. Fleetwood Mac takes the stage for the second show and begins with the slow ROCKING song entitled "World In Harmony". There are no vocals in "World In Harmony", just some guitarists harmonizing and playing beautifully together. "World In Harmony" speeds up and really rocks in the middle. Guitarists Peter Green, Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer sound like three guitarists that naturally blend, harmonize and embrace so well together. After "World In Harmony", Fleetwood Mac TEARS into the next song entitled "OH WELL". "OH WELL", another Peter Green composition sounds like a ROCKER that would have blended PERFECTLY with Led Zeppelin's I & II. Coincidently, "OH WELL" was also recorded live recently by Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes. After "OH WELL", the band TEARS into another ROCKER entitled "Rattlesnake Shake". "Rattlesnake Shake", as mentioned in part one, was also a trademark song for the great Aerosmith. "Rattlesnake Shake" clocks in well over 28 minutes long and displays some of the greatest live guitar playing ever attempted by any band anywhere. You have to listen to it and get into the feel of it to believe it. After "Rattlesnake Shake", Fleetwood Mac would play some bluesy rock songs which are absolutely breathtaking. Songs such as "Stranger Blues", "Red Hot Mama" and "Teenage Darling" were hot blues rockers. The seventh, eighth and ninth songs on the Fleetwood Mac playlist: "Keep A-Knocking", "Jenny Jenny" and "Encore" (With Joe Walsh of James Gang and Eric Clapton) are GREAT ROCKING SONGS. "Keep A-Knocking" is a fast ROCKING SONG! Peter Green changes the lyrics to "Keep A-Knocking" to something else that I cannot mention in this review. "Jenny Jenny" is another fast 50's type bluesy rock song that really kicks. The last song in part two is a song entitled "Encore" with Joe Walsh and Eric Clapton. "Encore" sounds like a first time jam together on stage with just experimenting and exploring the depths of writing and playing music for the first time. "Encore" sounds GREAT! You have to hear it to believe it. Live At The Boston Tea Party Part two, overall, is an EXCELLENT sequel to Part one and is worth every penny. The whole three part collection, overall is DEFINITELY 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 for reading my second of three parts of the "Live At The Boston Tea Party" reviews. I hope you will read all of my reviews when time permits. Rock out and take care. J.L.

Strong start, but more than a little disappointing..........2006-03-11

After listening to volume 1, I was absolutely blown away. I immediately ordered a copy of Volume 2, hoping for it to be every bit as amazing as volume 1, but now that I finally have it, I can't help but feel disappointed. It's not because the band is low on energy. Far from it. The problem is that Volume two showcases Jeremy Spencer's work the way Volume one showcased Peter Green and Danny Kirwan's.

The show starts off with the beautiful guitar interplay of Peter Green and Danny Kirwan on "World In Harmony." A lighter number that changes up with a rougher bluesy sound for a few minutes before softening up again for the ending. They follow this up with a devastating performance of "Oh Well". Lasting just under 3 minutes, it's short but oh-so-sweet, with some great lead played by Danny. "Rattlesnake Shake" comes next, nearly the same as the version from Volume 1, but a little less organized and a little more free form jam.

After these three songs, they turn the set over to Jeremy Spencer, and it goes downhill from here. Jeremy goes into a couple blues covers, he does a little 50s doo wop imitation thing that was probably better to watch than listen to, and he finishes off with a Little Richard tune. The songs aren't bad, but they just don't come close to touching the unique skill of Green and Kirwan.

After this, they turn it back over to Green for a song, but instead of doing one of his own he decides to finish off the show with a cover of "Jenny, Jenny". Not bad, but not enough to recover what could have been another amazing performance.
This isn't the last song on the disc, however. The band gets back onstage for an encore jam, featuring Eric Clapton and Joe Walsh. It's a pretty good jam that sort of peeters out after about 12 minutes.

Overall, not a bad CD, but not that great either. It starts off strong for the first 3 songs, and never quite gets back up there after that.

The 2nd Volume is as good as the 1st!!!.......2004-01-30

More Mac Attack!

This second volume of 3 from the band's 1970 run at the Boston Tea Party is just as strong as the 1st volume of tracks.

You can just feel the energy in these tracks with the first 3 being the highlights. The jam at the end is pretty tasty as well - as well as the steaming cover of Little Richard's Keep On Knocking.

Awesome!!

Bottom Line: Forget about picking one volume -- get them ALL!!!

I wept.......2001-03-17

Peter Green-integrity and simplicity,McVie / Fleetwood - a fabulous rhythm section and-oh!-what a stupendous drummer M Fleetwood is/was on this night(Rattlesnake Shake,for example)-McVie is 1st class too but it is sometimetimes hard to hear him but you know he is going at it in his own unique manner (I'm confident in John-OK ?)-plus the young Kirwan(well hired Peter) and the delightful Jeremy Spencer(described in the liner notes to this triple set as a bit of a rock and roll afficionado / Elmore James copyist but just listen to track 4's Stranger Blues and hear JS's exuberance and -in my view- you've already hit 1 of the at leat 10 highlights of this magical groove).. if you have the edition in my paw: Vol 2SMMCD 556 on Snapper Music then you have a precious -remixed in near the original concert order-event in your ears. A band at the apogee of its form. Thank you all and thanks for still playing. For similar "exuberance" try remixes of Who Live At Leeds, Frank Zappa's Hot Rats and anything by Humble Pie,Foo Fighters and Eddie Cochran ...I could go on....

Great sound on remastered re-released live album.......2000-12-15

Capturing Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac at the height of their powers, Live at the Boston Tea Party Volume Two features the superb guitar interplay of Danny Kirwan and Peter Green. This edition features a 28 minute version of Rattlesnake Shake that burns.

Featuring one previously unreleased track (the encore jam featuring Joe Walsh whose band at the time The James Gang opened for FM), this astonishing album has never been heard this clear before. Nick Watson has remixed and remastered these classic recordings using the High Definition Compact Disc technology that has improved so many marginal (and not so marginal) sounding albums.

Customer Reviews:

Jonathan's Best.......2006-09-12

This is easily my favorite Jonathan Richman album. Although he has several strong records, his gifts have always shown better live than in the studio. These recordings were made when he was at his early, brilliant peak.

As mentioned by some other reviewers, the song A Plea for Tenderness alone makes this disc an absolute must-have for any fan. There is nothing like it in the world. I don't even think Jonathan ever made anything similar. I'm grateful that this song exists.

Some people have said that this album might not be the place to start for new fans. I disagree. In my experience, people either love Jonathan or they hate him. I doubt it would make much difference what album they start with. The reaction usually happens quite quickly, and as far as I know, few people ever change their minds about it. But you don't even have to listen to the Amazon sound clips to decide. If you believe in the possibility of love and tenderness, and want to make the world a better, saner, more human place, you are in Jonathan's camp.

So I recommend you put this CD into your shopping cart, and proceed to checkout.

The absolute BEST you could get!.......2003-11-23

There is very little of the original Modern Lovers caught on tape out there, at least legally (I'm sure there are plenty of bootlegs floating around). Jonathan Richman and his great band are caught live at two venues, one at Harvard in 1971 and another in Berkeley in 1973, with the inclusion of a great song (Plea for Tenderness) from a Boston gig sometime in 1972(?). The record itself is absolutely essential if you are a Jonathan Richman fan or just looking for something different from the manufactured pop of today's "hit parade". Richman and company don't disappoint, and the record is a unique mixture of the original Lovers' sound.

First formed in the late Sixties when Jonathan Richman became infatuated with the Velvet Underground and started his own band, blending the influence of that band with his earlier love for Fifties-era rock. The result, The Modern Lovers, were together in their original format until 1974, and by the time their one album (really a collection of individual sessions which form a cohesive album) was released in 1976, the band backing Jonathan Richman had changed. Jonathan moved towards softer musical styles, and while this would provide some great music, the original band's sound was lost.

That's what makes this recording so great: here is the "rockin'" Modern Lovers captured in their primal heat, bringing down the house to a bemused audience who doesn't quite know what to make of them. One of the charms of the live shows is the way Jonathan and the band switch from heavy, fast songs like "Someone I Care About" to slower, low-key numbers like "Hospital" or "Girlfriend". The sound captured on this is pure fun and enjoyment, tempered with Jonathan's own hearbreak-fueled songs about girls who hang around in the Cezanne wing of the modern museums.

This is a gem of a record, worth seeking out if you wonder what all the fuss was about. If you have no idea who Jonathan Richman is, this will be a perfect intro. All in all, this along with the original album are perfect compliments to each other, and both illuminate how punk evolved. Get this first, then the album. You can't go wrong...

Revealing as an artist's sketchbook..........2003-04-29

If you already appreciate the unique genius represented by the original Modern Lover's Beserkly release then you will likely find this live collection very interesting and moving... but if you are new to the world of JoJo in general, or the Modern Lovers thang in specific, then this piece would not serve as a good entry point.

For one thing, the sound quality is "bootleg"... also, the song selection / running order leans heavily on slow, meandering sad stuff instead of the more upbeat, cutting/rock-edged stuff. This may turn off first-time or casual listeners... but there are definitely some very magic moments for those with patience and determination... you get some "unheard/unrecorded" songs including the phenomenal "the Mixer" which is easily on par with classics like "Roadrunner" and "She Cracked". Also, alternate lyrics for Roadrunner are interesting and the extended "patter" in-between songs really gives you some intense insight into where Jonathan Richman's head was at during this period.

The stand-out cut for me on this album though was the monumental version of "I'm Straight". During the spoken intro the pain and scars are so fresh that Jonathon sounds like he is seriously about to break into tears... the band unsteadily slids in behind him and things slowly build in intensity until we get to a point by the end of the song where all the microphones and recording gear overload heavily into the red-line as the whole band shrieks the refrain "I'M STRAIGHT!!" at the top of their lungs. I can't think of anything else in the history of recorded music that compares with the emotional intensity of this track... well worth the price of admission alone!

Three Chord Salvation Hoedown..........2002-11-10

My Modern Lover's collection will often sit untouched for months on end but when I dig them back out they don't leave my CD player for weeks.

This album captures everything the Modern Lover's stood for. The essential piece on this disc is "A Plea for Tenderness". Call me a bizzare case but that song that may sound like a bunch of unstructured noise to anybody else brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it.When Jonathan begins pleading, he sounds like he's really breaking down from desperation.

Jonathan's constant pleas of "play softer" and the bands obvious desire to not comply with his wishes give you a look into the reasons this truly unique band dissolved but it also makes for highly entertaining listening.

In my view this is hands down the best live recording of any rock band ever, mainly because it's not about perfection. it's about sincerity and the freedom music can give you to be your own person.

Essential stuff.......2001-12-05

If you believe, as I do, that the first Modern Lovers album was Jonathan Richman's creative watershed, this is an essential purchase. You can really hear how close their live sound was to the John Cale-produced "demos" that constituted their Beserkley debut. What makes this indispensible, however, is the inclusion of a handful of original songs that were never recorded, as well as Jonathan's inimitable stage patter. Added bonus: The great John Felice, the original 15-year-old Modern Lovers guitarist, is on several tracks. (Who's John Felice, you ask? Check out the 1977 debut album of his boss band the Real Kids, which is available thru Amazon.com. You won't regret it.)

if you play guitar..........2007-05-07

You'll love this. How old was Danny Kirwan when this was recorded? 20? Man he could shake those strings. Peter Green isn't bad either 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.

KEITH STILL HAS A LOCK ON OUR HEARTS.......2003-01-06

Everything old is new again. Or perhaps that's what the marketing big-wigs at RCA were thinking when they decided that latest CD by Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra should simply be a "greatest hits" package -- selections culled from Lockhart's five previously released CDs. It's a gimmick that works, since those tracks chosen are truly the best of the best: "Riverdance" and "Magh Scola" from the Grammy-nominated "The Celtic Album;" "Sleigh Ride" and "Farandole" from "Holiday Pops;" "The Stars and Stripes Forever" from "A Splash of Pops." To add a bit of freshness, the closes with "Long Live the King!" a medley of Presley tunes recorded love at Boston's Symphony Hall for a PBS special. No wonder he can't help falling in love -- once again -- with the man who keeps a lock on our hearts.

The Boston Pops at Their Best!!.......2001-07-14

This has got to be the best orchestral CD I have ever purchased! My intent for buying the CD was not because of the Pops themselves (I wasn't very familiar with them or Keith Lockhart at the time), but my orchestra had played two of the songs on the CD so I thought it would have been neat to have a professional recording of them. A couple months later, here I am, I know how each one of the songs go, it never leaves my CD player unless I go somewhere (it goes too) and let me tell you Mr. Lockhart is a hottie- whether he knows it or not! Only because of this Cd, (and watching Pops Goes the Fourth) I have bought every other Boston Pops CD conducted by Keith Lockhart. They are outstanding musicians and this is the best "greatest hits so far" CD. It has pretty much 2 songs from each past CD- Tracks 1 and 4 from Runnin' Wild; Tracks 2 and 5 from The Celtic Album; Tracks 3 and 8 from American Visions; Tracks 6 and 9 from Holiday Pops; and tracks 7 and 10 from A Splash of Pops. Track 11 is Keith's introduction to Long Live the King and Track 12 is, obviously, Long Live the King-A Tribute to Elvis which has never been released before. And it's pretty sad I knew all of that without having to look at the CD case, huh? That just shows you how well put together this CD is, with a mix of everything for everyone. From the slow, beautiful "Magh Scola" ("The Level Plain") to "American Patrol" back to "A Hymn to New England" (written by former Boston Pops conductor and composer to just about every famous movie their is John Williams) and of course, their trademark "Stars and Stripes Forever", this CD is perfect for anyone with a love of classical music, or the Boston Pops Orchestra. And their tuba player better watch out- I am definetly going to replace him soon :)

The Best of the Best.......2000-07-26

Keith Lockhart does it again. All of America's favorites on one album plus a tribute to the King. It goes to show what a wonderful and masterful conductor Keith is and what a great orchestra the BSO is. Their finest album with Keith thus far. He truly is one of the best conductors in the business. I highly recommend this to everyone who loves the spirit of the Pops. It's superb all around.

Best of the Boston Pops.......2000-06-25

This is a wonderful repertoire of the kind of music played by the Boston Pop. It's for all ages. If anyone wants one CD that is representative of the Boston Pop Orchestra, this is it! Kudos to Keith Lockhart for including a medley by the King. This is my favorite Boston Pop CD next to "Runnin Wild" and the "Holiday at PoPs".

6th CD!.......2000-04-25

I went home this weekend and look what I picked up! The 6th ablum by Mr. Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops! Great CD, love the music selections that Keith made to put in this one and I loved the Long Live the King! A Slaute to Elvis. You haven't heard anything until you have heard a full orchestra play Elvis Presley music. Number six, and it was great! My favorite piece is DoddleTOWN Fifers, or whatever it is called. The MCV (Middlesex County Vouleenters) are great, and I'm not just saying that because I know Earl, the Music Master for the group, they are good.

Ultra-rare 1998 commemorative concert of both Hall & Oates and Chicago. After the production, these two legendary live performances were never made available on tape or DVD. Only a limited, commemorative tribute 2 CD set through Best Buy Stores (long out of print) who sponsored the tour. July 7th, 1998, these 2 super groups rocked Harbor Lights Pavilion in Boston all night long!! Great interviews, too. Both shows were superb. Daryl & John played: Romeo is Bleeding, Out of Touch, Say It Isnt So, Urges, If a Promise Aint Enough, One on One, Sara Smile, Throw the Roses Away, I Cant Go For That, Maneater. Then Chicago took the stage with: Dialogue- Part I & II, Make Me Smile, Color My World, Youre My Inspiration, Free, If You Leave Me Now, Feeling Stronger Every Day, Saturday in the Park, All Roads Lead to You, Just You and Me, Beginnings, Does Anybody Know What Time It Is, Im a Man, Hard to Say I'm Sorry/Get Away, In the Mood, 25 or 6 to 4. It was a tremendous show for old and new fans, alike.
