5 out of 5 stars Phil Ochs rules........2007-01-13

Amazing album. Phil Ochs is truly one of the most important musicians of all time- his talent for playing the guitar pailed in comparison to his talent for writing eloquent, meaningful, hard-hitting topical songs. Despite being effectively black-balled by the entertainment industry/socio-political powers that were, Ochs' songs, whether political, social, or personal, have deeply influenced all those who listen to his music and take his words to heart. This album is an excellent example of his live shows which he was (limitedly) famous for.

4 out of 5 stars trying to keep the faith.......2006-01-08

Having heard 'Phil Ochs in Concert' what jumped out at me is the contrastingly darker mood of Phil's verbal intros (set against the aftermath of 'the Chicago experience')and that he might not remember all the words to his songs. His spare guitar contrasts with studio versions with orchestral or rock backings and work to good effect. Appearing at a peace and poetry concert, the interspersed 'non originals' (Highwayman, the Bells) and his 'artier' songs play off against the straight political stuff. Highlight of the concerts are 'The Crucifixion', the intro and performance of 'I ain't a Marching anymore.'

5 out of 5 stars Honesty, passion, wit and sincerity.......2005-08-29

Phil Ochs revealed himself with a rare integrity and fierce commitment to his perceptions of the society he lived in. An individual who called an injustice by its name. I believe the best way to sample Ochs is in front of an audience, hearing him intro the songs and how the issues impacted upon him. Any 'weakness' in the performance only endear him more to me - and many of us - because in this he represents me far more closely than anything slick, perfect and ultimately banal. The live version of Crucifixion is worth the price of the album alone. I treasure this album as I do the works of Phil Ochs.

5 out of 5 stars The real deal........2004-04-29

Great acoustic versions of some of Phil's best songs. "The Scorpion Departs But Never Returns", Pleasures of the Harbor" and my favorite Phil Ochs song, "William Butler Yeats Visits Lincoln Park and Escapes Unscathed". Sounding just great all stripped down with just Phil and his guitar. True, Ochs does forget some words here and there making him almost...human. I saw Dylan twice(so far) and he forgot the words to some things too. One thing I really like about Ochs is the amazing things he says between songs. Really great observations of life in America that ring just as true today. How'd he do that? The much underated guitar playing just shines here. This guy had talent. And don't ever forget the songs. I won't.

4 out of 5 stars Honest and heart-breaking.......2003-06-10

A truely honest and edgy performance from a singer-songwriter battling his demons and the contradictions of the 60s. He may humm some of the words, but "There But for Fortune" and "Pleasures of the Harbour" cut to the soul. This music is not wallpaper ... it demands attention.
