4 out of 5 stars Fine Representation.......2004-03-15

This is a fine representation of the Ohip Players circa 1977, when they recorded this live in the studio. They are and always were a jam band. Is this a perfect cd? No. But very few live cds are. With the exception of "Fire" being too long and almost unrecognizable at 11:00, the rest of the cd is fine. No real high points, but a nice even performance and it is the only live cd of their's from that time and not recently recorded. I would recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars This JAMS!.......2004-02-04

I love this album. Other reviewers are saying that the sound quality is bad and you can't make out the words, well sometimes live recordings aren't perfect. Nevertheless, the MUSIC is what's good on this album. I've heard bootlegs where you can hear the audience better than the band, but I still can enjoy the music. If you want to hear something besides the compressed, glossy recordings from the Players, get this album! It JAMS!

2 out of 5 stars Slowwwwww!Jam........2001-10-24

To Put it simply this player,s album was a rush job,the acoutics were bad,the sound terrible and to much feedback uggh! Basically this was a rehersal session for The Players for an up coming concert date.I,ve heard that The Players did a live album for westbound although i don,t know how true that is,anyway skip this album unless your an true ohio players fan or can get it dirt cheap.

5 out of 5 stars Live Funk On Fire.......2001-08-08

I totally disagree with the other reviewer, JAM is the only live recording ever made by the original Ohio Players! If you like true uncut funk from back in the day, you have to get this CD. It's live in the studio and the Players cut no corners! The smoldering track Fire by itself makes this one a keeper!

2 out of 5 stars If you like crappy LIVE recordings, you'll love this one!.......1999-10-28

When I bought this, I had forgotten which album my buddy had when we were teenagers. I mistook JAM for GOLD and Media-Play did not have GOLD for comparison, so I ended up getting JAM. BIG MISTAKE. The instruments drown out the vocals. It is extremely loud on some songs and quiet on others. It is also quite hard to make out the words even though I remembered most of them. As in a lot of LIVE recordings the group sings too fast and improvises a lot. The core songs are pretty much trashed, the others are bearable. Tonight I ordered GOLD and can't wait to hear it.
