Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Park This CD in Your Collection!!.......2006-03-26

AAARRRGGGHHH!!! I can't believe that in three years of doing Savoy Brown and other reviews here on Amazon that I haven't yet covered Live in Central Park. Well, better late than never, here we go. Voted the best concert of the year, and it's easy to see why. The band opens with one of their best and certainly one of their most underrated live cuts, "Let it Rock (Rock and Roll on the Radio)" from Street Corner Talkin'. Paul Raymond actually sings this cut, and since SB at this writing no longer features his wonderful keyboards and fine vocals, they no longer perform it live. Pity!!! Such a great song, wishing for the glory days of the 1950's when Stick McGee sang "Drinkin' Wine Spo-de-oh-dee," this number rocks the house down. (Sudden thought: Savoy Brown was HUGE in Detroit and Bob Seger was a Detroit native. Could this song have inspired him to write his classic "Old Time Rock and Roll?" Hmmmm!!!) The other cuts, most from Lions Share, are excellent; of course, "Tell Mama" is here, and it's nice to hear vocalist Dave Walker's take on the then-current Rolling Stones (and Slim Harpo) song, "Hip Shake" (aka. "Shake Your Hips.") Nice!!! Still it's hard to give this album too high a recommendation; like many live albums recorded before the mid-seventies, the sound quality is horrible, more so because it's recorded at an outdoor venue. Still, if you like everything that SB ever recorded (and I do), then you should park Live in Central Park in your CD collection at once, and boogie the night away!!!
