4.0 out of 5 stars tougher than the rest, June 4, 2001

This review is from: King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Gary U.S. Bonds (Audio CD)

When all the other singers from this era has either lost it for good or are just chasing photo ops with young rock stars, this man is standing there, in the middle of the ring, and he's taken some punches. You can hear that in his voice. But he's still standing and the voice is getting more and more raw and powerful. This guy was #1 40 years ago with "Quarter to three" and is still up there. This live recording has tracks from the his biggest period, but lucky for us he also includes some great songs from his comeback cd:s from the early 80's. Only wished he'd included "It's only love" in his set. That's one true, priceless Beatles interpretation (from the "Dedication" -cd). So why only 4 stars? Well, the sound could've been better. But then again, that's always been part of the captivating charm of his records. Buy this record and listen to an American hero sing his heart out! And could somebody please put this man in the R&R hall of fame, where he belongs.

Unbelievable from the start. "Jole Blon" opens it up and "Quarter to Three" ends it. This album is just full of energy from start to finish. If you are a Springsteen fan this album is a must. Live from the Stone Pony. Bonds sounds great and really rocks the house. Wish I could have been there!!!!

Another great live album. Gary is in top form as he belts out classic hits from the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ.
His old material smokes! but his new material absolutely sizzles!
Great recording, great songs, and the voice never ceases to amaze!
This CD at this price is an absolute bargain! Buy it! You won't be disappointed..........
