Music reviews of Live Album

Music Review: It was noisy then...
Rating: 3 Stars

Yes it was the first vinyl album I ever got, in 1971.
Yes Mark Farner (and Eric Clapton) inspired me to learn guitar.
Yes I listened to it until it wore out.
It still sounds horrible. I can't listen to it now because it makes my ears hurt. I still have it. With the poster.
Apparently the idea was to create a "unique" recording of a live concert by mixing in microphones placed in the crowd and giving you more of an impression of being in the audience. If so it was a noisy drunken audience that was in attendance at the Atlanta Pop Festival that hot summer day. In certain sections the crowd noise is so loud that the band is barely audible. You can hear people shouting over the music, like you were standing around some people who were yelling at each other about something. If it was possible, this would probably be a great sounding album if they could put the crowd in the background. The fact is that the performances are excellent and in every case much better than the sterile-sounding studio performances. There is lots of energy and Mark plays with lots of fire. The drums and bass of Schacher/Brewer put down a heavy groove which Farner boogies over effortlessly. I think my personal favourites are Mark Says Allright, TNUC (pun???) and Into the Sun, and definetly the superior rendition of In Need. All tracks are excellent though. I would recommend the uninitiated get this album first, then work your way through the studio albums in any order, maybe the "Red" album (as it was known to Funk faithful) first.
I recently obtained a video of a pop concert in Detroit which featured Iggy Pop, a still unkown Alice Cooper, Mountain, and Grand Funk. The tune is Inside Looking Out and it must have been the same tour because it is the Live Album performance note-for-note, including various grunts and whoops by Farner. It is still excellent, and they obviously had a show together that was consistent and deliberate. I would have to say now that this music is dated and of its time. Still I would recommend this over the first two studio albums. The music is of the tradition of Detroit, like MC5 and the Stooges, but there is a certain twang to Farner's style that together with Schacher's fuzz bass and Brewer's muscular drumming that gave them a somewhat unique sound. If anything the live album's "ambience" is a departure from their somewhat minimalist studio sound.
