Title: Middle of the road
Product review: I've been on a quest for some good LIVE Eric Burdon / Animals music for a long time. I listened to this album recently and had mixed feelings. The band was great, the first four songs are in the studio and are really good with the exception of Crawling King Snake which is ten plus very long minutes and could have been left off the album or at least cut in half. Now the live stuff - The arrangments are decent but they won't blow you away. Don't Bring Me Down, Boom Boom, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood are played well but I'm Crying just didn't get it.I've seen Eric Burdon and the Eye Band and the New Animals who turned out to be the same band. I'm not sure if that is who is backing Eric on this album, it sounds like the same crowd to me.If the energy that was put into the studio cuts carried over onto the live cuts I would have given it a higher rating. Eric's singing is quite good throughout the album though.
