4.0 out of 5 stars
It's 1970 Revisited!, June 22, 2000
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
This re-release is long overdue. This album summed up the squeaky clean side of the 60's that is usually forgotten in favor of the Woodstock headlines. The Association played 60's pop on the radio, but this recording showed they could also rock. Their string of hits is included here, but you also get the driving One Too Many Mornings (an old Bob Dylan/Kingston Trio hit) to open the show, and some of the lesser known material like Goodbye Columbus, Just About The Same, and a beautiful rendidtion of What Were The Words. Vocal talent abounds with some harmony parts I never heard on their records. This album takes me back and does a great job. I'm only sorry it took them 29 years to release it on CD.

A trip down memory lane., December 16, 2001
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
Having had the great fortune to not only hear the Association perform LIVE in '69, but also interview them for a local radio station's Junior Achievement company at the time, I am very happy to have this CD in my collection. I burned through two copies of this album at home, and wore out certain cuts at the station as well! Like the liner notes say, "..and the human voice.", The Association treated vocals like another instrument, with variation and expertise. My all time favorite Association album will always be BIRTHDAY. Listening to it always brings tears to my eyes. If you have not experienced it...then you must!

Association Live Is Best!, July 10, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
I was never much of fan of The Association, but when I bought the album when it first was released in 1971, I was quite amazed! The band shows that they are true showmen in every sense of the word. This concert not only shows off their musical talent, but their ability to captivate an audience with their own brand of humor and dialogue. Included are all their greatest hits and various others songs that complement the entire concert. There is not one bad song, which tells me that they knew how to put a show together and perform it at their very best. To this date, I am envious of the people who actually saw this live show!
