CD Reviews

Best "Beatles" retrorock

Robert E VandenHeuvel | Verona Beach, New York United States | 04/25/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This cd-along with "live at the Adelphi" presents Pete Bests band performing a number of 60's standards live. The music is a fine trip down memory lane--or a good introduction to music from that era if it's new to you. Pete and his brother both play drums-so it's never quite clear which one you're hearing--so what? Is Pete a better drummer than Ringo? I don't know-they're both better drummers than me!!! (About the only way to clearly here Pete Best on the drum is on the Tony Sheridan/Beatles album or on the Decca audition tapes--on each of these-his drumming sounds fine to me) Actually, just listen to this for what it is--a good live performace of some great old songs."

A Pleasant Suprise

"This is the disc to get if you want Pete. After hearing the Decca tapes, Tony Sheridan Recordings, bootleg BBC tracks, one Cavern track backing Gene Vincent, Interviews, Anthology 1, Lee Curtis & The All Stars, and Pete Best Four/Combo tracks/albums, I wanted to hear something new and fresh (and professionally mixed)! The live C.D. Back To The Beat was so-so but this one was a pleasant suprise. The track that stands out to me was Sweet Nothings. Everyone I know that likes the 60's-70's Rock, Blues Rock type of genre was into this song. I picked up this C.D. in Manhattan when I met Pete and Roag at a collectors show. Good disc! Well worth the price!"
