Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)it was 1979, when keith and ronnie put a band that was supposed to be called the barbarians. they found that that actually a band with that name already existed and decided to change the name into the new barbarians.
fans who were lucky enough to see this tour consistently said that they had rarely seen keith having so much fun as he had with the new barbarians.
the band, in addition to having keith and ronnie on guitar, featured a bunch of legenday musicians: bobby keys, ian maclagan and staley clarke on bass.
the concert was recorded in maryland on may 5, 1979 and was previously made available as a bootleg by, i believe, an italian record company.
the set is great. there are some tunes with ronnie as leading vocalist and keith singing back up vocalist and other sings that were sung by keith--the numbers that were sung by keith include worried life blues, apartment n. 9, let's go steady, and so on. it was also the first time keith and ronnie performed a live version of before they make me run--the great piece that keith had recorded with the stones for some girls (1978). ronnie sings instead tunes like seven days (by bob dylan) and i can feel the fire --that he had originally recorded with mick jagger and david bowie when the stones were recording it's only rock and roll. the comparison between this version of i can feel the fire and the one recorded by ronnie, sir mick and bowie shows quite clearly that keith is a genius. the way in which he sings his parts as backing vocalist (but all the stones record makes it clear that behind mick's voice, keith's performance as backing vocalist was giving the song a richer, wilder flavor) brings new life to the song and makes it infinitely more catchy than the studio version. this is a must have for everybody.
for those who do not have the bootleg, this live album is a great opportunity to appreciate what keith and ronnie were doing with their band. for those who already have the bootleg, this is a great chance to hear the songs (such as jumpin' jack flash) that were never put on the bootleg.
it's awesome
