"The Sons of Champlin Live is the best CD I have ever heard. I've been a fan since 1968,when I heard they had Live CD out I ordered it the next day. This is without any doubt the best live recording I have ever heard. I have turned alot of people on to The Sons by playing this CD for them and beleive me they are all hooked. If you get a chance to see them live do it,the best music you well ever hear.Give it to someone as a gift they will love you forever."

WOWWWWWW!

"As a kid growing up in southern Cal in the late 1960s, I only heard briefly about this "hippie band" from Northern Cal calling themselves "The Sons of Champlin." In 1973, at my cousin's wedding in Ross, CA someone put on "Welcome to the Dance" and I thought so these are the Sons. Not too shabby. And here some almost thirty years later I went to see these guys play at the 7th annual Marin Music Festival and was totally blown away. This CD comes close to capturing the live feel and is damn great. These guys can still cook thirty years later and I scratch my head and wonder how popular this band could have been if only things had been different. They've always had a rabid following among their fans.Well, after seeing them live and buying this CD, consider me one of their rabid fans. I'm damn sorry I wasn't around to see them during their glory years but better late than never. This CD ROCKS! If you want a CD that rocks, rolls, makes ya want to dance, lifts your spirits sky high, then BUY IT (if you haven't already). But better yet, GO SEE these guys live!!"

Timeless Artistry Still Sounds Great!

"THE original "Horn" band the from the late '60s and early '70s has banded together once again to delight the ears of their fans. The Sons of Champlin show once again why they were always the favorite musicians of musicians. I love the intensity of this album. The CD listens better at high volumes. The engineers must have mixed this at a fairly high volume, because if it is played at a low listening level, the CD lacks some life. So buy it and crnk it up!!(but this is a live album isn't it?) For anyone who likes jazz, rock, and popular music mixed together will thoroughly enjoy this long-awaited recording of the best and most enjoyable rockin' horn band ever assembled. LISTEN THREE TIMES AND YOU"LL BE HOOKED!"
