Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Inconsistent, Has Some Worthwhile Nuggets.......2000-07-22

Well, this really wasn't a live disc. It is "live in the studio," which just means the band was all playing at the same time in the studio, & they could recut anything that didn't work. On the plus side, Mitch sounds as great as ever, & assembled an ace band. Covers of "It's All Over Now" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues" are terrific, and ideosyncratic enough that these versions are not superfluous. Mitch does another version of his own "Liberty," available in a traditional studio version on the Rev Up compilation. Both versions are great.

The bad news is that Mitch's songwriting abilities are not up to his musical chops. Most of his original songs are OK songs performed well enough to mask the fact that they aren't all that good. Of the 14 tracks here, 5 or 6 are really good & the rest are not all that. If you really like Mitch Ryder, get this CD to enjoy the cuts where the artist & material are worthy of each other. And if you ever get the chance to see him live-live (not studio-live), definitely go see him.
