4.0 out of 5 stars I Was There, 20 May 2003
This review is from: Were You There - Live 1966 (Audio CD)
This is a classic 60's live recording of the UK Soul Scene of which there are very few, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames - Live at the Flamingo and The Yardbirds - Five Live Yardbirds being the exceptions.
From the opening James Brown - I Feel Good, the entire album generates the atmosphere of the club scene at the time and which will never be re-created by today's so called Rave Generation DJ/Club sound.
Zoot Money is still working and whilst not covering all the tracks on the album in his current act, he is still sounds the same on the track Big Time Operator one of the few commercial tracks which slip away from the mostly R & B/Soul spread on the rest of album.
Recordings like this are few and far between and fans old and new should snap up this opportunity to listen to one the great but relatively unknown stalwards of the 60's RnB era.

4.0 out of 5 stars The REAL sound of Swinging London, 17 Jun 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Were You There - Live 1966 (Audio CD)
Club-goers favourites Zoot Money's Big Roll Band recorded as they were meant to be heard - live and in person. Recorded in early 1966, shortly before the recording session that produced their second UK LP ZOOT! and their debut US LP, this one is a knock-out. It shows the group running the gamut of their band-book; Hammond organ driven soul-jazz, slow blues, and energetic R&B and Soul work-outs. The musicianship is quite notable, especially the sax section, and both Zoot and Paul Williams turn in great vocal performances. All this PLUS a guest appearance by the sensation (but under-rated, if not virtually unknown) Herbie Goins! Recorded at Dick Jordan's Klook's Kleek club in North London, this one is a sweat-soaked, wear-out-your-loafers must.

4.0 out of 5 stars ANDY SUMMERS's First Band..., 11 Feb 2010
By Carnack - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Were You There - Live 1966 (Audio CD)
That really short guy pictured on the CD is the young Andy Somers, later to be famous as Andy Summers, guitarist for The Police. You'd never know it from listening to this lively R&B show-band, but three of these guys-- Andy, Zoot and the bass player-- were soon to form the legendary psychedelic group Dantalion's Chariot who played at the Middle Earth and UFO clubs with early Pink Floyd and early Soft Machine. Zoot and Andy tended to stick together, as they later played together in Eric Burdon's psychedlic Animals, in the Kevin Coyne band, and in ex-Soft Machine founder Kevin Ayer's band.
