Music reviews of Live in Santa Monica 72
Music Review: No 'Ode', yet a Joy nonetheless.
Rating: 5 Stars
Printed in Holland/EU [by EMI, though the product page now says Virgin US], this single-disc release should not leave you feeling abused by the high MSRP. Beyond the CD itself, contained within a box you'll find a 14" x 9.5" repro poster, an LA Times music review from 1972, four b&w picture cards including the famous 'Starman' design and copy of a signed photo, then a 16-page booklet with basic information and a few nice concert pics. The final 2-page image of David Bowie & Mick Ronson is worthy of posterization. A friend whom also purchased this title informed me that his box featured a different number in red (to the right of the ticket on front), which would indicate a limited edition as expected. I have not yet heard what number this set is limited to.
The audio quality, arguably the best ever offered of this memorable set, interestingly lacks in audience chatter. That matters to some I understand, but for those that don't care for it to begin with, it makes the performance even more enjoyable and personal. The speed appears to be corrected, and this is significant because most original boot LPs of this gig ran too fast. Simply put, this is Bowie and Ronson performing at their best. A moment in time captured and packaged expertly - an effort to which I am so grateful.
There is no Clockwork 'Ode To Joy' intro as most of us whom have heard this performance from several sources before come to expect, and to be honest I miss it. It is replaced by a 12-second intro by KMET radio, the broadcast source of this recording. Oddly enough, the mention of 'Ode' is clear on the KMET radio dub of whose hand-written info is reprinted on the back of the book insert.
There are 17 total music tracks including the full 10:44 'Width of A Circle'. No 'Ode', but nevertheless a great joy to hear in such quality.
