Without doubt one of the greatest live albums EVER!- fact. It has in my opinion the greatest rhythm section ever backing up The Godfather - a young Bootsy Collins on bass,and Clyde Stubblefield on drums - and the combination is electric, but they are pushed further musically by Mr. Brown himself. His performance is electrically, or maybe pharmaceutically!, charged. This was the period in the late 60's when James Brown was rewriting the musical rules and this album has been a staple diet of beats and breaks for hip hop artists for years. The highlight of the album for me is the sublime pure funk drive of 'give it up or turn it loose'. If you have any interest in black music - buy this album. Essential.

Until we get a Deluxe version of the actual live in concert performance we can still enthuse over this strange studio/live coupling. The studio tracks from Ohio (with overdubbed audience) sound almost as "live" as the Georgia tracks because apparently the session tapes did not pick up the crowd as well as on other CDs [referring to Live at the Apollo, Vol.s One and Three]. The studio recut "Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose" is by far the highlight of this offer, beautifully recorded and engineered.
The sad part is that it appears that the original idea for "James Brown, Live At Home..." somehow got lost in a generally disappointing performance. The star sounds tired and the band *sounds* out of tune [musicians, correct me if I'm wrong] on a few cuts. The strongest tunes on stage are "If I Ruled The World", the greatest rendition I've ever heard him do, and the finale "Mother Popcorn" - when JB calls for Maceo it's impossible not to jump back and do the Popcorn.

One of the best James brown's live efforts. It features a wide selection of both the sides of the great Godfather of Soul, which testifies his skill and his talent as a soul singer and as a forerunner for generations of modern rappers.
To my friends of Amazon.uk., please note that your review deals with Jackson Browne, the famous and excellent singer-songwriter of "Sweet Baby Jane" instead of referring to James Brown, Soul Brother Number One.
Please remove that wrong review as soon as possible if you can. It might be measleading to the casual costumer. Thank you so much.
