4.0 out of 5 stars Turn out the lights and crank up the volume!, March 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Zephyr Live (Audio CD)

I was fortunate to be in Denver in the late 60' and early 70's and heard Zephyr many times. This album captures some of the excitement of their live performances that their studio albums couldn't quite catch. Zephyr was a tight and powerful band, by no means merely a front for the guitar virtuosity of Tommy Bolin, gifted though he was. Candy Givens' blueswailing and harmonica still knock me out, and there is none of the shrillness that marred some of her vocals on their first album. Their cover of "Goin' Home" shows them at their best. Despite some flaws in the quality of the recording and Bolin's occasionally over-the-top investigations of electronic distortion, this is a must album for Zephyr and Bolin fans, and for those who want a taste of early 70's hard rock, Colorado style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zephyr Live! w Candy Givens and Tommy Bolin, June 30, 2010

This was one of the great blues rock groups that never got the attention and recognition they deserve. Candy Givens vocalist extraordinaire! And she blows a mean harp. Tommy Bolin is legendary. Both died all too young. Drums, keyboards, bass, all very polished performances.

I saw them live on numerous occasions including when they opened for Led Zeppelin's first US performance and when they were asked to perform twice at the Denver Pop Festival, which was Jimi Hendrix's last US performance.

If you love classic rock, this is a treasure you want to get to know.

I have to say that I think that this is Tommy Bolin's best live performance, or at least right up there! He is loose, bluesy, funky, fast, and on fire. Play "The Creator Has A Master Plan" once and be convinced. He never gave himself this much space to solo with the James Gang or with his own solo band in 1976, and he is in a more varied context than he was on "Ebbets Field 1974," which is one of his other best live works. I have to disagree with David Givens and say that this blows "Sunset Ride" away!!
