4.0 out of 5 stars Music From Behind The Castle, August 29, 2008

This review is from: Knebworth - The Album (2 CD SET) (Audio CD)

The Knebworth Festival has been a part of England's musicial history since the mid-1970's. These two CD's spotlight the artists from the 1990 Festival.

Elton John, Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Genesis, Robert Plant, Eric Clapton, The Shadows and more, this is quite a line-up of great artists. The performances rule the Kingdom here: "Comfortably Numb", "Sunshine Of Your Love", "Hey Jude", "Turn It On Again", "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", "Sad Songs" & "Rockin' All Over The World".

These are two full CD's of the UK's best and in front of a crowd of Zillions. These performances are much akin to the Live Aid performances from Wembley in 1985, the Performers are different, but it is the same spirit as Live Aid.

This CD set is still available, and they go cheap {Mine was under $10.00.}
This is worth seeking out.
Four Stars !!!

This review is from: Knebworth - The Album (2 CD SET) (Audio CD)

And no I wasn't there, but this was telecast in Australia and my bestest bud and I watched the entire thing and then bought it on VHS (remember them).

Anyway what you get here is essentially a celebration of music. As another reviewer has noted this release has a similar vibe to the Live Aid stuff from Wembley from five years previous albeit with different performers. A glance at the track listing will probably sell you on picking this up as the laid back vibe of much of what goes on here is truly infectious and really there is a lot of rock royalty on display here.

The track listing follows the live performances, the production is nice and the simple fact is that this gig was done for charity - and not just any charity. The Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity the point of which is to use music as a form of therapy for ill people (with a slant on children I think). Now how can any music fan not be on board for that?

Well worth the price of admission I'm actually surprised that there are so few reviews of this product here given the luminaries on the disc. Having said that I'd actually refer anyone thinking of buying this to consider instead picking up the entire concert on DVD which is now possible and really adds to the experience. And then come back and buy this!
