4.0 out of 5 stars REMASTERED OR JUST RE-EQUALIZED?, May 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Happy Trails (Audio CD)

I own both the U.S. and the the "restored & remastered" Repertoire version of this classic live recording. It may boil down to a matter of personal taste, but I found the Repertoire CD to be bass-heavy, and the recording as a whole not to be any clearer than the U.S. CD. I doubt that the original master tapes were used by "EROC at the Ranch." I also doubt that 24 bit digital remastering was used, as was in Capitol's 2002 "CLASSIC MASTERS" QMS compilation. I will, however, commend Repertoire for its excellent booklet. It's a shame that neither Capitol nor Rhino has seen fit to put out a definitive remaster this timeless CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest..., April 29, 2003

One of the greatest records of the sixties and one of my favorites. The guitar playing is simply phenomenal! But it is also a psychedelic album, taking you on a "trip" that winds down at the end of "Calvary", sort of like someone walking off into the sunset, then the somewhat ironic "Happy Trails" last. What a nice trip, now bye! Also the last we would hear of the great sounds of the original quartet on the first 2 albums.
I think this Repertoire release sounds a little better than the previous Capitol release, but not much. It's still worth getting, though. Repertoire has released some really good sounding CD's recently, especially the Yardbirds albums, so you can trust that the sound will be good. The booklet has the usual information about the band's career, i.e., the first album didn't capture how they sounded live, the 2nd live one was great, the third not so great, they had a semi-hit with Fresh Air, etc. Not really a whole lot of new revealing information if you already are familiar with QMS. I would like to have found more specific information about the recording of "Happy Trails" and what the band was up to at that time. Oh well, it was a long time ago...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the two greatest, May 9, 2003

This review is from: Happy Trails (Audio CD)

One of the two greatest live (non-bootleg) performances of a '60s San Francisco band around -the other being "Bless Its Pointed Little Head" by the Jefferson Airplane. I first heard Happy Trails when it was first released, and only recently got the CD. Despite a couple of decades between the time I last listened to it and today, the music was a fresh and creative, and exciting as ever. It had lost nothing of its power and spacey appeal and could easily hold its own against any contemporary band if released for the first time today. Anyone who'se serious about music ought to own Happy Trails -and "Bless Its Pointed Little Head", too.
