4 out of 5 stars Classic rockin' blues.......2005-07-11

I don't know what everybody is complaining about. It's a LIVE recording, people -- get a clue! Sure, the sound quality on this isn't audiofile/gold disc quality, but who would expect that? It certainly meets the quality standards for an official cd release, and this show is awesome!!! The set list is solid rock from beginning to end. The only song I would change is "Tell Mama" -- how many times do we have to hear this tired old number? The rest of the set sounds very fresh and energetic, though, and the performances are fantastic! (Mormon's voice sounds a little different from how he sounds in the studio, but he still sounds very good and is definitely not "off" in any way that I could notice.) I am very happy that I found this.

3 out of 5 stars Nobody's Perfect, Not Even Savoy Brown!.......2003-10-19

Savoy Brown's 1981 lineup, the one that featured Kim Simmonds, Ralph Mormon, Barry Paul, John Humphrey, and Keith Boyce and tons of hair, was the headbangenest, hardest rocking lineup ever. Rock And Roll Warriors was this band's one and only studio offering, and it kicked like a mule on steroids for some 40 minutes of pure power chords. This Bottom Line Encore Live album was recorded the same year and features the same lineup blasting out an audience at the famed NYC club. All the cuts from Warriors are great, with "Cold Hearted Woman" and "Nobody's Perfect" hammering the heavy metal beat like a sledge. "When the Cat's Away" and "Shot Down by Love" are the best numbers on the set; Kim Simmonds guitar work and John Humprey's stellar bass lines are amazing! Great licks!!! Unfortunately, singer Ralph Mormon sounds hoarse throughout the set, and the lead-in jam on "Tell Mama" is totally unnecessary. And yet, as always, there is plenty of excitement to be had on this album, so you should at least give it a listen or two. This CD proves that while nobody's perfect, Savoy Brown came awfully close many, many times!

5 out of 5 stars This is The Bottom Line.......2003-07-10

This cd Features the lineup of Ralph Morman,Barry Paul,
Keith Boyce,John Humphrey, and of course let us not fail to
mention Kim Simmonds who without him there would not be a Savoy Brown.one of my favorite tracks from this cd is
(When The Cats Away)the way Ralph sings this one has a personal meaning to me.The instrumentation that is put forth is great. I don't believe that there is any Savoy Brown stuff out there that isn't any good.and thats another thing that Kim always made sure of, and that is the sound.he always had the best of the best behind it.Believe me opinions are what matters and in my opinion this cd is a five star two thumbs up piece of work.*****
and thats THE BOTTOM LINE.

If you like the same stuff you have heard over and over before, buy this one, hopefully from me. The long blues jam by Kim Simmonds on "Tell Mama" helps this one go down a little easier. Keith Boyce, the drummer du jour, plays well. For a live recording, Ralph Morman unfortunately sang like he couldn't wait to get his paycheck. The rest of the ensemble played their parts like supporting players waiting for Kim to carry them home. Probably the most disappointing part was that Simmonds didn't seem like he knew if they wanted to be a blues band, metal or boogie, so it came out as blootal. When I saw Savoy in the early 80's they were a power trio that weaved various moods of the blues through the set. Kim did the singing and took charge. On this one Ralph took over and Kim played. I'm afraid the band has seen its best days.
