Format:Audio CD
This is a low down dirty piece of funk with heavy repetitive grooves and some very fiery solos from all concerned.
The DDBB have been at this game for 25 years so they know exactly what to give a live crowd for their money.
The only problem with the whole thing is that the tracks are all very similar and taken at a similar tempo which makes the whole thing seem like one long track. Instead of varying their attack they start with heavy funk followed by heavy funk and then a little bit more heavy funk to finish with.
That apart,the music is fresh,vibrant and very "in your face" - just remember next time fellas - a little more variety would earn at least an extra star.
For serious groove lovers only.

their best yet
10 Jun 2005
Format:Audio CD
If you're reading this, you probably already know what a national treasure the Dirty Dozen are.....not to make them sound "trad" or stodgy though....this is some of the greaziest, bumpinest funk that you'll ever hear. More than any other recording of theirs, this CD really catches the magic of the band's live shows. They concentrate on the groove here....not much "outside playing" and not many deviations from the pulse, which is a good thing when the dancers are dancing and the sweat is pouring. You can hear the crowd get ramped up over and over again as the groove gets more and more intense. From the opener to the closer, the stakes just get higher on this live CD and the band keeps delivering. Hardly any clams from the players, and the feel is ALL there. Can't imagine why this CD is so expensive here, but copies are out there for around $15. This is prime stuff, and well worth the extra trouble to find and buy. If you have one Dirty Dozen CD, this is the one.
Wow! The best thing this great band has ever released!
