High flying live recording from legendary band

Bodhi Heeren | Copenhagen | 11/25/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like his Cream partner Jack Bruce the hottempered drumlegend Ginger Baker carried the torch of progressive, inventive, visonary music. Making honest, mindblowing musical statements for a rapidly diminishing audience.

In the mid-70s he teamed up with the Gurvitz brothers, known from their hit-single "Race With The Devil" under the name Gun. producing three fine studioalbums, but being first and foremost an impressive and exciting liveband. Relying heavily on improvisation and a loose and yet intense atmosphere. And as the pictures show in the fine book-let being heavily doped and drugged.

Here we get a healthy dose of songs from the "Elysian Encounters" album, in completely different, lot more vital arrangements. A couple of rearranged Cream-classics and a stab at Jimi Hendrix' "Freedom".

The soundquality is outstanding, really giving us a chance to hear what a fine bassplayer Paul Gurvitz was (is?). Ginger looks unhealthy to say the least but propels things with usual class. Livemusic at its best."
