Rating: RC: ***
Comments:RC: The real problem with this live album is that everyone tends to compare it with another live album released at the same time, Maceo Parker's Life On Planet Groove, and not favorably. This isn't really fair, because this album has charms of its own, most notably Fred's funky "House Party" and the Free James Brown anthem, "Let Him Out". Fans of their first studio album will appreciate the cuts "Sweet & Tangy", "Blues A La LS" and "Step On Your Watch". JB fans will love "Funky Good Time" and "Soul Power". While the crowd and the band lack some of the fantastic energy on Planet Groove, there's still plenty of good stuff here. Maceo's playing is a bit more subdued, with only one real showcase: "Children's World". The last five songs are a non-stop party.
This album is in print and should be easy to find.
