CD ReviewsIn My Top Five Live David S. Brown | 09/02/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I originally bought this album in 1972 I guess. Knew nothing of the band. Bought it because the cover looked boss. But when I brought it home, peeled of the plastic, gently laid it on my turntable, twisted up some red bud and dropped the needle, I was amazed. Noddy is not a screamer. He is a very, very gifted singer. When I first heard "Darling Be Home Soon" I couldn't believe it. It's a masterpiece. When the song is at it's crescendo and Noddy wails "My Darling Be Home Soon" it has to be the finest single vocal line I have ever heard. Many consider this to be the greatest live album ever made. I had the pleasure of seeing them at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. The opening act was 10 CC. What a strange combo. When they were doing a mike check, I'm not kidding, someone tapped the mike and it sounded like a sonic boom. Imagine what it sounded like when Noddy got on it. They were a party band and that's what comes across on this CD. By the time you're through listening to this album you will know exactly who Slade were and what they were about and you will not soon forget."
