CURVED AIR LIVE

In excess of the bassist Philip Kohn, this album has the classic lineup of this band which pleased me the most. Introducer reveals that this is the comeback gig after two years silence, and this has probably affected the formation of the set list and the frantic mood of Sonja Kristina, who's enthusiasm goes in some parts a bit too far to please my tastes. The hit tunes of the band work nicely on instrumental level, but none of the performances are very exceptional, and many interesting compositions of the studio tracks didn't get on this concert repertoire. In addition of this document, sadly I have not found much live documents from the classic heyday era of this band. I wouldn't still recommend this album without caution, unless you are a huge fan. If one has a change to loan the recordings of this band from a friend or a library, a great artistic gold vein can be traced to run through all of their releases, but still containing some lesser interesting rock music along with them. I'm looking forward to find some decent official lives of this band's tours from early 1970's, hopefully a lovely elf would bring them as present some Christmas. Most stoned sequences can be encountered by skipping directly to the opening of the last track.
