3.0 out of 5 stars
Appalling sound quality, great historical document,
By DJ Joe Sixpack (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Barra 69 (Audio CD)
This is an album of the great, historically triumphal, giving-the-dictatorship-the-bird concert that Brazilian pop superstars Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil held just before they had to go into exile in Europe for two years... If you're into the whole tropicalia mythology, then you must at least listen to this album... That being said, I didn't keep my copy, because the sound quality (of the original board mix) is just terrible... It's really more of a reference work, rather than an album that's fun to listen to...

Excellent show, Horrible sound quality,
By Amit Amely (Tel Aviv, Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barra 69 (Audio CD)
In 1968, the Brazilian dictatorship briefly imprisoned Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, in an effort to curb the popular influence of the tropicalistas. Once the singers got their warning and were released, they promptly went off and staged several concerts as an act of political defiance, which in turn lead to their European exile. This CD is a document of two shows in July, 1969 -- spirited and adventurous pop-psychedelic rock, but with terrible sound quality. The guitars come in okay, though a bit muffled, but the powerful vocal performances are completely overmodulated. A tantalizing glimpse at Brazilian pop-psych in glorious full swing, and an important historical document, but ultimately a real drag to listen to. (Quoted from Slipcue E-zine)

let it go,
By "whiteboy01" (Lake City, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barra 69 (Audio CD)
Great songs, and some crazy wailing rock guitars, if you like that sort of thing, but the first thing you notice on this disc is the awful sound quality. Unless you are a hardcore tropicalia fan or a great admirer of buzzing tinny treble noise drowning out vocals you better let this one pass you by.

Horrible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barra 69 (Audio CD)
Simply the worse thing you will ever hear recorded. Quality is so poor that it is impossible to listen too, fades, wavers, just not that good. Skip it.
