3.0 out of 5 stars Appalling sound quality, great historical document, December 25, 2001

By	Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This is an album of the great, historically triumphal, giving-the-dictatorship-the-bird concert that Brazilian pop superstars Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil held just before they had to go into exile in Europe for two years... If you're into the whole tropicalia mythology, then you must at least listen to this album... That being said, I didn't keep my copy, because the sound quality (of the original board mix) is just terrible... It's really more of a reference work, rather than an album that's fun to listen to...

1.0 out of 5 stars Excellent show, Horrible sound quality, May 17, 2001

By	Amit Amely (Tel Aviv, Israel) - See all my reviews

In 1968, the Brazilian dictatorship briefly imprisoned Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, in an effort to curb the popular influence of the tropicalistas. Once the singers got their warning and were released, they promptly went off and staged several concerts as an act of political defiance, which in turn lead to their European exile. This CD is a document of two shows in July, 1969 -- spirited and adventurous pop-psychedelic rock, but with terrible sound quality. The guitars come in okay, though a bit muffled, but the powerful vocal performances are completely overmodulated. A tantalizing glimpse at Brazilian pop-psych in glorious full swing, and an important historical document, but ultimately a real drag to listen to. (Quoted from Slipcue E-zine)
