A great live album 9 Jan 2010
Format:Audio CD
This album captures the sense of actually being there. It sounds as though everyone involved-audience and performers -were really enjoying themselves. Just like Bob Dylan and other great artists Ry Cooder never seems to perform a song the same way twice, so even if you already have versions of these songs it is worth getting. In fact, I prefer it to most of the studio versions; the fact that it is a bit "raw" in places makes it more interesting. The kind of band he assembles for his performances obviously has a big effect on the sound. You expect wonderful guitar playing, but you also get Flaco Jimenez on accordion giving a real Tex Mex swing and the superb singing of the gospel singers. My favourites are the Tex Mex version of Do,Re,Mi and Soul inspired Smack,Dab in the Middle and Volver,Volver is a revelation with Flaco on vocals (I assume) - he isn't credited. Every Ry Cooder fan should have this and everyone who likes swinging music.

A gem of a live album 20 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
Firstly - you need to like Ry Cooder's voice. A lot of people don't and can't get past that. Even with his wonderful slide work and the singing of his stalwart backers, his voice just seems to ... grate on some people.

Me, I love it. A real individual voice which is laced with a love of the music and rhythm. Of course, with a Ry Cooder album it is the brilliance of the playing which really matters - and this album is no exception. Listening to the band play you only feel bad that you weren't there to experience it first hand.

Special highlights are "do re mi" and "alimony".

A real treat for Cooder fans, but others beware - try Get Rhythm first for his most accessible album.

Classic Americana, Cooder-Style 1 May 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ry Cooder put this incredible band together in the late '70's, combining the soul stylings of vocalists Bobby King and Terry Evans with conjunto king accordianist Flaco Jimenez, and Ry's own amazing slide guitar work. This is a band in the truest sense, traversing American music and bringing fresh, creative interpretations of songs like Woody Guthrie's "Do-Re-Mi", r&b classic "Smack Dab In The Middle", and the Mexican torch standard, "Volver, Volver". This album introduced me to Flaco, and led to a series of trips to furniture stores in Denver's Mexican neighborhoods--the only places you could find his albums,at that time. Leave it to a master musician and musicologist like Ry Cooder to find these talented people, and create something so unique. This is a live album in every way.

Solid Live Ry Cooder 15 Mar 2000
By Michael Strom - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
"There is so little live Ry available, it's great to find a live CD from a great era of Ry's work. This CD comes from the era of transition from Chicken Skin Music to Bop Till You Drop, with most from the former (along with similar stylings).

thrilling 16 Oct 2010
By Donald E. Gilliland - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a superlative live recording of Ry Cooder and his band in fine late 1970s form. Great songs and great performances by Ry, Bobby King, Flaco Jimenez and others. Not a weak track on this album. Should have been (or could be? Expanded release perhaps) a double disc. The fun is over much too quickly.
