Music reviews of Nobody Can Dance
Music Review: A Solid Four Stars
Rating: 4 Stars
Half rehersal + half live set = completely awesome! This is probably the most 'controversial' item in the Big Star canon in that its 'releasability' is definitely questionable. I, for one, support its release because Big Star is one of those bands that does not have casual fans. Chances are if you like them, you're going to end up with this one for better or worse.
So let's move on to the actual review:
The rehersal half of this disc is definitely the more sonically palatable. The mix is better, the playing is tighter, and the band seems to be enjoying itself while, at the same time, keeping aware the face that the tape is rolling. The best part is the little tease of 'Hey Joe' that Alex Chilton and John Lightman get into before 'You Get What You Deserve.' Big Star definitely nkew how to run a practice. It is rare that fans are treated to a band practice like this, so I suggest you take advantage as a CD like this seems almost destined to eventually go out of print.
Now the performance half is for those who may have heard something they liked on 'BIG STAR LIVE.' A slightly tipsy ("Let Us Boogie") Chilton lets loose. This show (at Overton Park in Memphis) is thought to be one of Big Star's last. The band plays with reckless abandon. The vocals and guitar are mixed WAY up and the bass is hardly audible. The cover of 'The Letter' is definitely the highlight of this collection as the band gives it a much more 'rockin' feel. Other highlights include "Don't Lie to Me," both versions of "O My Soul," "Way Out West," and the live "Mod Lang" which is just vulgar!
All-in-all this CD, like everything else in Big Star's catalogue is worth owning. The only difference is that this one may take a few listens to really get into.
