5.0 out of 5 stars Wet Willie Wails!, July 10, 2003

I saw Wet Willie live about a half dozen times back in the 70s -

They are one of the best live acts I have ever seen -- they always used to put on a helluva show.

"Left Coast Live" is a classic -- the other live album they did --"Drippin' Wet" (recorded about 1970) is also a classic -- in fact, I like "Drippin'" better than "Left Coast Live"

I listen to either one of them and I'm a kid in my 20's again --
lots of good memories.

"Left Coast Live" is good stuff. Buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars hidden gem, August 21, 2000

This Wet Willie recording came along after several excellent studio recordings. While not quite as strong as Dixie Rock or The Wetter the Better, the guys more than proved their ability to wander out of the studio and jam. They were definetly not your average southern rock band. No No No and Teaser which were staples from the Wetter lp still sound fresh and Grits Ain't Groceries was much funkier than other well known white soulsters. Everything That You Do is one song that never got its due although this overblown live version is not nearly as good as the studio version. This would certainly be a good overview for someone just discovering this band. Now if they will just release Mannorisms.

At the time of writing, I'm shocked to see that this classic album is out of print, and going for absurd sums of money. A great album, but there is no need to pay outrageous prices for it. That said, this is, in my opinion, one of the best live albums ever. Wet Willie put on an absolutely smokin' performance. Tight, funky band as always, and lead singer Jimmy Hall is in prime form, belting out the soulful and bluesy songs. I owned this on album back in the day, but I'm thankful the CD finally came out, with a bunch of bonus tracks to boot. Good job guys. Now someone bring this gem back in print!
