Ahh, it's not the same.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live From Chicago's House Of Blues (Audio CD)
In 1997, Elwood re-formed the band being joined by the late Jake's brother, Zee Blues (James Belushi) in the hope of recreating that once great sound of The Blues Brothers. Sadly, it didn't work. It's just not the same without Joliet Jake! But having said that, it is actually quite a good album as the audience is surprised with guest many stars including Eddie Floyd, Sly Johnson, Billy Boy Arnold, Lonnie Brooks, Sam Moore, and a lot more. And if that isn't enough, the Brothers are - of course - joined by the usuals, Steve Cropper, Matt Murphy, Donald Dunn, Lou Marini, Alan Ruben and Paul Shaffer.They play some fantastic renditions of songs, including "Flip, Flop and Fly" and "Sweet Home Chicago", but I noticed they have the tendency to play some of them a bit too fast, which is a shame really as things this good shouldn't be rushed. This is most noticeable in "634-5789" (with E.Floyd) and "Born In Chicago". But that's the only problem (apart from possibly Brother Zee's vocals being slightly out of tune in "Viva Las Vegas", but we can forgive him for that because of his ability to play the harmonica...) and the amount of talent from each of the musicians on this CD makes it something special. If you are an avid Blue Brothers fan, you should on all accounts get it (but don't listen to it directly after 'Briefcase Full Of Blues' or 'Made In America' as you may feel it's a bit of an anti-climax). If, however, you're not a huge fan, you should only get it if you have a gift voucher left over from your birthday, or something similar. There are better Blues Brothers albums around.

Music kicks a**, vocals bring the star rating down,
By Stuart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live From Chicago's House Of Blues (Audio CD)
I am a huge electric blues fan, as well as a Blues Brothers enthusiast, but on this CD there's at least one guy (not Aykroyd) who is hollering along but can't sing, and it comes off sounding like some drunken college dudes singing along in a bar. The music is inspired and totally rocks, but the vocals bring down the musical highs. If this is the only Blues Brothers CD you own, you must check out the rest- the others are great, and they don't suffer from inferior vocals.

Very good!,
By "enricopietrella" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live From Chicago's House Of Blues (Audio CD)
Well, After John Belushi's death, the Blues Brothers are never been the same, but James Belushi is a good one for the band, so this CD is better than "Live In Montreaux" and really better than "Red, White And Blues". Buy it, it's a good album!

One of the best Blues Brothers albums,
By Elwood Blues "Chase" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live From Chicago's House Of Blues (Audio CD)
I just got this album yesterday and I played it and it was awsome there is only a few problems 1. what happened to "Soul Man" and "Rubber Biscuit" those are their 2 best songs. and 2. what happended to the 8 minute version of "Sweet Home Chicago" this is only a 2 min. and 45 sec. version but other than that this is a great album and one of the best Blues Brothers albums it also is great that they did highlights for "Green Onions", "Sweet Home Chicago", "Messin' With The Kid" and "Flip, Flop & Fly" and one last thing the thing that made this a good album was original Blues artists singing their best songs and The Blues Brothers's song highlights.
