4.0 out of 5 stars Did somebody say keep on rocking?, July 4, 2005

Finally, somebody released this--thanks to Wounded Bird Records for finally getting this out of the vaults. I was not disappointed to hear this again, it being one of the better live records of 1977. I remember hearing about Derringer from friends of mine who saw them open for Led Zeppelin that summer. This record more or less confirmed what they were saying, which was: lots of fun, great band, good songs, killer guitar.

This CD brings back such good memories. I wore out 3 copies of Derringer Live on 8- track. I had given up on ever seeing this on CD. Yes it would have been nice with some extra tracks and some additional goodies, but beggars can't be choosers. This is an absolute live guitar rocker's dream. I purchased "The Best of Rick Derringer, Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo" simply because I never thought this would ever see the light of day again. While that is a pleasant enough piece of work that I play occasionally, the energy level of Derringer Live is incredible. The band is tight and well rehearsed. Rick never got his due as a guitar god but that is certainly showcased on this release. I am afraid I blew out my car speakers this morning while playing this CD. Oh well!

Any fans of 70's classic hard rock performed live need to pick this up right now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally..., November 8, 2004

I was in high school when this album came out. I can't beleive it has taken so long to be released on disc (believe me - I know, I've looked). Rick Derringer has always been a great guitarists and this album finds him performing with a great band. For a late 70's album, the sound quality is respectable. Performance wise - the band is on fire. "Sailor" is a great song, done live it has more muscle than the studio version. "Beyond the Universe" is absolutley insane. The solo break at the end is amazing. Simply put - this album is just great "in-your-face" rock and roll. Enjoy!
