Album Description

It's only natural that the home of the hip-shakin', harmonica-blowin' blues would produce the finest garage-blues band in history. Hear the Shadows of Knight rock Chicago in this live, circa-1966 recording that's Sundazed's alone! 1992.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Let's hear it for the greasers!.......2004-06-24

Yes, this is an actual vintage live recording of The Shadows of Knight of "Nuggets" fame. The Shadows are best known for their smash hit cover version of Them's "Gloria". They were a solid blues based garage band, but they had limited success, probably mostly due to the fact that there wasn't a good songwriter in the group. What we have here is a recording of the group playing at a teen club in late 1966. The recording quality is very good, considering the age. It was taped directly from the soundboard and is in mono. The performance is good, although it gets a bit sloppy at times. Singer Jim Pohns was in good voice that night, and the rest of the band is pretty solid. This may be the ultimate vintage recording of a 1960s garage band (not that very many recordings like this exsist). Recommended to fans of "Nuggets" type music.

3 out of 5 stars Shadows Of Knight-'Raw 'N Alive At The Celler Chicago,1966'.......2004-03-14

Just love these lost recordings of a vintage gig they sometimes master for CD release.'Raw 'N Alive...' is by no means a perfect recording,but it is of pretty decent quality.Tracks that I thought sort of stood out are "Oh,Yeah","Hey Joe",their Monkees cover "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day","Everybody Needs Somebody","Dark Side" and the encore,you guessed it,the six minute boot stomping version of "Gloria".All through the band's set,vocalist Jim Sohns sounds in top form and guitarist Joe Kelley displays some good blues harp.Good to listen to on a rainy night.

4 out of 5 stars Brought back great memories.......2000-03-06

This was very nostalgic for us "cellar dwellers". I was thrilled to find this cd ,for old times sake. It brought back such fond memories. "Gloria" as well as the other cuts on the record, captured the spirit of the "60's" not just in the Chicago area, but all over the USA. A fun trip down memory lane by a very talented group that we all thought would be the next "Stones"...

4 out of 5 stars Hear it like it really was.......1999-11-23

For those of us who have seen The Shadows live and at The Cellar, we know the club was actually located in the NW burbs in Arlington Hts., IL. It was an one story industrial building which you could see from Route 14. One Saturday a buddy and I drove past and stopped because of a long line of kids. When we asked it was because The Who were playing. Yes, I saw The Who in a little club!

Anyway, The Shadows were like the house band at The Cellar and around the suburbs including clubs like New Place out by Cary, IL. This album captures that time and spirit in the raw power of the music. There is no subtlety on the CD - young guys playing their hearts out. The mix is terrible and memories real.
