CD Reviews

Live At Kabuki
I. T. Gordon | 03/01/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)

"I love QMS. I am lukewarm about Dino Valenti. But everything else about them is great. This recording is obviously taken from a radio broadcast. The music may have been good but the sound quality is very ordinary. Greatdul Dead have shown that old tapes can be cleaned up to provide listenable recordings. No one bothered with this one. Unfortunately."
Performance pretty inspired, recording primitive......

"Back around the time this was recorded, Stereo Review magazine was publishing some fabulous monthly reviews of contemporary music, written by Mr. Steve Simels. Back in that analog age, it was necessary to divide the review into two pieces, the quality of the music and the quality of the actual recording. The recording here, most of the time, sounds like it was done on a battery powered mini reel to reel, and occasionally spliced together from different source tapes! Jarring changes in volume and tone, muffles, etc. As to the music, the first CD is pretty doggone inspired, rocks on very well, maybe the liveliest version of "You're Gonna Need Somebody On Your Bond" (mis-typed as "Band") I ever heard. Dino Valente's distinct high lonesome vocals, solid drumming, driving guitars, etc. The second disc is generally painful with a few bright moments, but mostly dispensable."
QUICKSILVERS LAST LIVE HURRAHH!!!

"I think this is the last live recording of all of Quicksilvers original band members, and if you are a fan of that band you will like this cd. The sound quality is horrible, but if you do some real intense work on your equalizer dials you can get a fair mix. I like getting to hear "Fresh Air" and "What You Going To Do About Me" with some of the other songs like "Mona" & "Pride of Man". If you are a solid Quicksilver fan this is a must have."
