1.0 out of 5 stars Got WHAT ,If You Want It?, August 3, 1999

This review is from: Got Live If You Want It (Audio CD)

This album was a rip-off, and the Stones knew it. If you use the balance you'll notice that on one side there's the band and audience noise, and on the other there's Mick and Keith's overdubbed vocals[pretty lame one's too].Some songs aren't even live, it's the studio version on one side and screaming chicks on the other. Can you believe that crap. A bunch of screaming chicks. Supposedly there's an album by the same name that was released in England at about the same time which is the real deal. The reason I'm writing this review is because I punched up this title on the off chance I would find this elusive gem, and that somewhere on this web thing somebody has it and wants to sell it, I read I could leave a review, and in the interests of Stones fans everywhere I'm warning you. Sad but true, this one stinks. Probably when they sell all the copies of this piece of garbage they'll release the good one. I don't know what these other poeple reviewing this are on but it must be alright to be making this album sound good. I don't mean to be so passionate about it but, imagine your twelve years old, it's 1976, there's nothing but disco on the radio and T.V., "Love You Live" won't be out for two more years, you've discovered the Stones and you've been listening to "Out Of Our Heads' and "12 x 5" for the past six months, you find this album in the rack, bring it home, put the needle on the record and you hear this. THIS! What a let down. The disapointment is almost palatable. It just goes to show ya, a fanatic will buy anything. Rock and Roll.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great music, but severely flawed, April 18, 2002

I agree that this album is a true relic of the works of the Roling Stones. The songs "Under My Thumb" and "Get Under My Cloud" were played beautifully-as if they were played in one setting and time.

Of course, "Lady Jane" is a true classic that is etched in my mind for years to come. Here,g uitarist Keith Richards played a gentle lead-accompanied by one of the greatest instrumentalists of rock history-Brian Jones (may he rest in peace), using a dulcimer that was audiable even while playing live.Let us not forget the R&B classic "Not Fade Away";of course Mick Jaggar played his heart out(as usual).Throughout the rest of the CD, bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts(banging the cymbals as always)did their parts quite well throughout the entire Cd-as well as Richards,Jagger, and Jones.And who can forget "Satisfaction" and "Time is on My Side"-considering being performed circa 1966.

This is all of the good points that I can find while listening to this relic. With the exception of the first two tracks, ALL of the other songs were fragmented together. This "fragmentation" job of editing was pathetic.If one could piece together several tracks of different authenticity, he could had done a better job-even to the 1960s standards.

Also, the "opening drum sequence(7 seconds)" before "The Last Time" is what I am talking about. That drumming sequence,before the first three chords of "The Last Time" sounded like the opening sequence of "I Ca't Get No Satisfaction" instead of the latter.

I also share my fellow reviewers'comments on tracks four and five. I thought that this was suposed to be a TOTALLY LIVE album.What a dissapointment.

Personally, despite the numerous flaws in the production, this CD is still a fine relic that you can capture the Roling Stones while they were still getting started in their fine career.I hope that other Rolling Stones fans will concur.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brian Jones lives, February 12, 2002

This review is from: Got Live If You Want It (Audio CD)

Got Live was the first Stones album I heard in its entirety when I was about 11 years old. My older brothers eventually had all the Stones records and I fell in love with them too. I still love the way they dive into Get Off of My Cloud after Under My Thumb. I like the raw power and energy in Jagger's voice on Cloud. I really dig Not Fade Away on this record with Brian chugging away on the harp. He was a much better harp player than Mick would ever be. I also like to listen for his guitar line on Last Time and (Sitar?) on Cloud.
