What a
brilliant sound! This is seriously one of the better live recordings I’ve heard
in years and to make matters even better the band in question is none other than
legends PINK CREAM 69.
Well,
perhaps they never had their 15 minutes of MTV fame but today they’re regarded
as legends at least!
As the
title hints at, this is a GERMAN live recording which means a lot of crowd
contact and “party stimmung”. If not for David Readman on vocals they’d probably
be speaking german between songs as well.
The
majority of songs on this live set belong on their first couple of classic
albums which means they’ve had quite a few years of aging. One can truly sense
that it is pure joy for PINK CREAM 69 to be performing these songs in front of a
homeland crowd – balls out and no remorse!
If I have
to be critical I would point out that 2 discs of live music is 1 disc too much.
Don’t get me wrong; all the material sounds good and the level of energy is kept
up but you need a bit of diversity after a full CD of live music. Double live
albums were a thing of the 70s if you ask me. But hey! It’s still one helluva
album.
