Live: Going Home [Live]

Product Description
The Blasters emerged from the Los Angeles rock scene in the late 1970s. Led by brothers Phil and Dave Alvin, their contemporary twist on America’s not-so-distant past set new standards for American roots rock. Frequent shows with fellow Angelenos X helped earn the band legions of loyal fans whose numbers continue to swell today. In August 2003, the original members reunited (once again) with both Alvin brothers intact. Captured on their first DVD and this companion CD, the set showcases 19 tracks, including staples like "Marie Marie," "Border Radio" and "I’m Shaking." Joining them onstage are Sonny Burgess, Billy Boy Arnold, and surviving members of The Calvanes and The Medallions – artists who have all played an important and influential role in the band’s history. The Blasters Live! Going Home documents the band nearly 25 years after its formation. They’ve never sounded better.

Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

Best CD of 2004 - What it means to be Live!.......2005-01-27

This is clearly the best CD of 2004 if not the best of the decade. The production and sound for a live CD is incredible - clear, clean, and captivating. But to love this CD like I do, you have to appreciate piano (Gene Taylor) and background vocals (The Valvanes and The Medallions) -- all together. What The Blasters provide by themselves is incredible (Phil Alvin's singing and Dave Alvin's guitar alone would be worth the price of admission), but who they have accompying them is extraordinary. I cannot wait to receive the DVD of this concert because the CD makes it sound like a blast. Most of their classics are here (Marie, Marie; American Music; and Border Radio), an all-time (Joe Turner) classics (Flip, Flop, and Fly), and some incredible sounding "lesser classics" (Don`t You Lie To Me, So Long Baby Goodbye, and Have Mercy Baby). In the old horror classics they use to put a mirror near one's mouth to see if one were alive and breathing, now all you need to do is put this CD on and check if their feet are tapping. Try it on yourself, since you are alive, you will also want to dance.

Exellent come back cd, recorded in Santa Ana, CA.......2004-06-03

I love local bands from the most beautiful place on earth Orange County! This is one of OC's best rockabilly bands, and they sound as good if not better then they ever have, an extra added bonus is hearing Billy Boy Arnold's duet with them, his voice is so "rockabilly 1950's", and of course he really was a recording artist from that period, and hasn't lost a thing. This concert sounds like it could have been recorded in 1955, I mean this music sounds like the stuff from Sun Records! A great fun set of lively rockabilly and occasional jump blues, by a super tight swingin' band, recorded at the famed Galexy theatere in Santa Ana!

The Blasters are back!.......2004-04-08

A blistering live set, recorded in the Santa Ana, California's Galaxy Theatre, in the band's old Southern California stomping grounds... Phil Alvin spits out his lyrics like he wants to set the mic on fire, while Dave whips through some dazzling guitar licks... These guys may be old geezers, but they sure haven't mellowed out!

Awesome CD!! Blasters Forever!.......2004-03-05

Just had to post a few comments about this. When i heard that the Blaster's first and only concert video would be released on DVD and CD i just had to go out and get em both.. all you blasters fans out there will know that these guys are all about playing live! - well, the CD & DVD totally captures the energy and atmosphere... and if you never got to hear em play live... u just have to get this !! - The companion DVD that comes with the CD is just as awesome in it own capacity... Both the CD and DVD feature performances of "Blasters" classics such as "American Music", "Marie, Marie" and "Border Radio". They are also joined on stage by rockabilly guitarist Sonny Burgess, Chicago blues great Billy Boy Arnold and the surviving members of the California doo wop legends The Calvanes and The Medallions.

go buy this now!!

adios

Better then i thought it would be........2004-03-01

Here is the truth, this is a great dvd. The sound quality is excellent, the picture very sharp, the Blasters as a group materiel is a bit stronger then the seven tracks with there invited guests.I was not sure to i wanted to take a chance on this dvd at first, but i am glad i did.I believe it was put together by the former Rhino people, it is a top notch product.
