This review is from: Vitalive (Audio CD)

Ive been a VI fan since 1984. I owned the first 2 on vinyl and ever since then, have bought everything they've done. The bands style and their lineup has changed drastically throughout the years...a sure sign of musical growth. However, I personally love the way the band sounds on Vitalive! I prefer the piano/sax lead instead of the organ lead with no sax, but thats just my preference. Steve Smith's drumming on this CD is absolutely perfect. You can still hear some rock influence in his playing, but his ability to lighten it up is superb. Steve...bring the sax back. Vitalive is simply the best live fusion CD Ive ever heard. And in my top 10 for sure. Second choice would have to be John Scofields "Pick Hits" which also cooks! By the way, if you too prefer this sound to the newer VI releases, the first 2 records were recently released on CD. GRAB THEM!!!! Theyre incredible!
