Customer Reviews:

A fantastic session.......2006-07-10

This is one of those albums and artists that is constantly shuffled away and almost forgotten. King Curtis was one of the great sidemen of R&B, and this cd will testify to it. The selection of tunes was obviously geared for the Filmore crowd. I still think his version of "Whiter Shade of Pale" one of the finest covers ever. The sax technique on it obviously reveals his earlier career as a "serious" jazz man (if you can find it, check out those early jazz lps). Check out this "back up" and warm up act/band with Curtis with an appearance by the late Billy Preston and others. Mighty fine music here.

there are better purchases.......2005-08-02

Check out the king/aretha disc set instead. Better sound quality for what I imagine are the same shows. Otherwise stick to some of his studio work. Playing this in multiple cars it just sounds muddy where the aretha set (4 cds) has much better if not fantastic sound.

don't fight the emotion!! complete fillmore west shows.......2005-02-13

I've love this cd!!! I can hardly wait for the complete show to be released with aretha. Hopefully within a few weeks time.

Oh my gosh!.......2005-02-04

This CD is AWESOME! Track two is unbelieveable... you just have to hear it... I love it.

This is the master that Dave Sanborn stole from.......2004-06-20

This is one of the best albums I own out of 2000+ records. The magic is there! This album should be studied in every music school for feel, groove, communication w/ listeners and musicality. If you play sax, keys, bass, conga, drums, guitar, trumpet, organ...this is a MUST CD.
I thought this album was lost as I hadn't seen it anywhere for 20+ yrs. The only thing I ever saw, which made me mad as hell, was one night back in the 80's Dave Sanborn was on Late Night w/ Letterman and introduced a copy of the first cut of this album as "his song HE wrote" as "Love stew" or something like that...Never saying that the whole arrangment and even most all of Daves solo was just a copy of Memphis Soul Stew. Another case of the white man stealing the blackman's ideas...and making a ton of money off it!
