Terrific - Terrific - Terrific!.......2004-10-03

Every performance a standout! Keyboard and vocalist Mike Sanchez steals the show!

But, hey, Bill Wyman, please lose the cigarette during your playing. Kinda takes everything down a notch, from an otherwise great performance. Plus, we want you (and your band mates) to stick around many more years to make great music.

RHYTHM KINGS IN CONCERT (WYMAN,BILL)

Customer Reviews:

Great performance in a sterile studio setting........2004-06-03

A great set of R&B, soul, and rock'n'roll from Bill Wyman's All-Star band recorded in a German TV studio in 2000. Obviously made as a TV show (thankfully the end credits are removed) but I kind of feel cheated the way it just fades out half-way through a brilliant instrumental duel in the middle of "Tear It Up" between Albert Lee and one of the sax players. It just fades to black and up pops the menu without so much as a "by your leave." As far as the 'concert' goes: the performance, sound and picture are all excellent./ Georgie Fame seems to be having the most fun along with the two backup singers. Bill Wyman looks as bored as usual. I expected him to yawn at any moment. The other guys (aside from the afore-mentioned 'duel') go through the motions effortlessly without raising a sweat. They are true professionals who could play this stuff in their sleep and that is the feeling I am left with...hence the 4 stars instead of 5. If you compare this with The Blasters dvd, which displays the kind sincerity, dedication and devotion to this music that it deserves, you'll see what I mean. The Brothers Alvin LIVE this music. Bill's band of virtuosos might dig it, but it just looks like they're doing us a favor by being there and have something better to do after the show. But don't get me wrong, this is great music played by expert musicians, but with all the sincerity and commitment of a "Tonight Show" band...and just when they were starting to cook, it just fades to black and leaves me saying; "Yeah, so where's the rest of it?" Still, I'm glad I've got it. Now I'm gonna watch the Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes concert at the same TV studio. I'll let you know what happens.....

A rollicking R&B set.......2002-10-18

This is an excellent R&B concert featuring Bill with a killer band including Albert Lee on guitar and Gary Booker on keyboards doing most vocals with 2 backup girls, Beverly Skeete and Janice Hoyte who deserve to be better known. The 12 songs include "Let the goodtimes roll", "Melody" (for Stones fans), "I put a spell on you", "Baby Workout", "Mystery Train" (for Elvis fans) and "Groovin'". The sound is excellent. Bill, we miss you at Stones concerts but you've built another terrific band.
