3.0 out of 5 stars Diamond Head live in 1991: Top performance poor production., April 17, 2009

This review is from: Live-In the Heat of the Night (Audio CD)

N.W.O.B.H.M. pioneers Diamond Head are captured live on this 2000 release. However, the actual recording is taken from a 1991 show at Wolverhampton UK. At that point original members Sean Harris (V) and Brian Tatler (G) had reunited with plans to record a new album ("Death and Progress"- 1993).

"Live in the heat of the night" sound very much like a bootleg release taken straight from the mixing desk lacking any signs of professional mixing and mastering; Having said that all instruments come through clearly and are consistently audible. This release also includes a video CD with 9 out of 13 songs (which CD1 features) also poorly captured by a solo camera.

However this album deserves at least 2 to 3 stars due to performances. 9 years past their break up and Harris sounds even greater a vocalist than in the 80s while Tatler has matured into a more confident guitar player unafraid to include tricky passages and solos that match perfectly the nature of the songs. Additionally the CD does not fail to include quite a few of their signature songs namely "In the heat of the night" , "Borrowed Time" and "Lightning to the nations" with the addition of newer minor hits such as "I can't help myself" and "Run".
