I purchased this cd without knowing the music! I liked it immediately! The whole cd is straight up live funk! Yes, this is the same Bo Diddley who invented rock and roll in the 50's! If you're a fan of funkadelic 70's grooves, you'll like it! The performance is recorded from a 1975 concert in Woodstock New York. Clean sound quality! This cd has been long out of print. If your a huge fan of Bo Diddley, like myself, you got to have it! Buy it used from Amazon!

2.0 out of 5 stars A Few Stale Leftovers, April 6, 2000

It appears that the five overlong tracks were originally cut c. 1975 along with many other tunes, live in Woodstock, New York. A hard-to-find double album was issued in '77 and this fairly easy-to-find record came out eight years later in the U.K., with presumeably unused material from the show(s). One might surmise that these numbers were issued primarily for diehard Diddley completists: indeed, the vinyl album jacket label shows "Fan Club" as the label.

1.0 out of 5 stars Latter era Bo, none of his signature tunes..., May 5, 2008

Oh why can't we have Bo Diddley's "Beach Party" on CD, recorded live at Myrtle Beach in his prime, with all those great "shave and a haircut" rhythm songs for which he is so deservedly known. Bo isn't a funk artist, he's a pioneer of rock and roll.
