Go, J.R.!,

This review is from: Totally Live at the Whiskey a Go Go (Audio CD)
This is a reissue of Johnny Rivers' first and second albums (At the Whiskey a Go Go and Here We a Go Go Again!). Both albums were recorded live at the Whiskey a Go Go, where Johnny and his sidemen were the "house band" at the time. Johnny Rivers may not have been the most original rocker around, but he played with an infecious enthusiasm that was quite enjoyable. It should be pointed out that all but two of the songs here are cover versions of other people's material. The two original songs here are Johnny's composition "John Lee Hooker" (mistitled "Whiskey a Go Go"), and "Walk Myself on Home" which was written by his bass player and his drummer. Although Johnny's cover versions are almost never as good as the original performers versions, the songs still have a fun, intimate, small club feel to them. Don't go looking for much originality in this CD, but if you are a fan of Johnny Rivers, you will enjoy it.

Live Rivers Rocks....,
By Fred & Sharey Ingman (Eugene, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Totally Live at the Whiskey a Go Go (Audio CD)
I'm not usually a fan of live rock performances, but Rivers club performances are much more fun and infectious than massive stadium concerts. There's not much here in the way original material. However, Johnny's treatments of Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, and even Beatles standards are a great listen!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Two great live albums on one terrific disk!,

This review is from: Totally Live at the Whiskey a Go Go (Audio CD)
Johnny Rivers/ Totally Live at the Whisky A Go Go: Johnny Rivers does his interpretation of the best early rock n roll songs and does them very very well. There is a ton of energy here and, for 1964, the recording of these performances was top notch. This is just a flat out great live performance. Highly Recommended.
