Live at the Budokan - Chic,
By
This review is from: Live at the Budokan (Audio CD)
In April 1996, Chic played a gig at the Budokan stadium in Tokyo. It would be the last ever performance by the group's legendary bassist, Bernard Edwards; hours after the gig, he was found dead in his hotel room.The concert itself was an hour-long trawl through the group's history, plus a few special guests. Most of their most memorable hits are here: 'Le Freak', 'Dance, Dance, Dance' and 'Good Times' among them. Sister Sledge join the band for 'He's the Greatest Dancer', and 'We Are Family' becomes a 10-minute funky jam session. Their rendition of Jimi Hendrix's 'Stone Free' - with guests Steve Winwood and Slash from Guns n' Roses - proves that Chic were more than just a disco band. The only unfamiliar track is 'Do That Dance' - but it stands up just as well as any of the old favourites. On the downside, the album sounds really rough - but, as Nile Rodgers explains in the liner notes, he could have cleaned it up in the studio, but deliberately didn't, leaving the recording in its natural state as a tribute to his late friend and musical partner. When Sister Sledge introduce New York's 'Greatest Dancer' to the audience, you do start thinking a video might have been a better idea (how about it, Nile?). If you're looking for Chic's usual slick, polished sound, this probably isn't the album for you. But if you're a diehard fan wanting to share in one of the band's most precious moments, this is a must-have.

Fantastic!!,
This review is from: Live at the Budokan (Audio CD)
Fantastic cd.I don't agree with the other reviewer..The sound is great.....But like he said Nile did leave it untouched for historical purposes and as a tribute to the legendary bassist Bernard Edwards who sadly died the day after this show.... Such a sad waste of THE most influential bassist's of all time. The whole show is great....My only moan is Slash's lead break on Le Freak which sounds a little out of place. Apart from that this awesome cd is highly recommended...and is a great testimony to Chic's legacy....And most of all a lasting tribute to Bernard Edwards. If you like Chic.....this is a MUST HAVE cd.
