Lee Michaels • Lee Michaels Live



Review by Bruce Eder
Recorded in concert accompanied by drummer Keith Knudsen, Lee Michaels goes through mostly extended versions of various songs from five of his first six albums, interspersed with numbers unique to his concerts, such as "My Lady." Oddly enough, Michaels doesn't perform his biggest hit, "Do You Know What I Mean," preferring numbers such as "Oak Fire" and "Rock Me Baby" from the same album. This is an honest presentation of a Lee Michaels concert, with a raw, un-retouched sound, and he is in excellent form, instrumentally and vocally, on numbers like "Hold on to Freedom," "Stormy Monday," and most of the rest of this album. It might not be the best way to start listening to him, however; Recital and the self-titled third album are better in that connection. Lee Michaels Live is a heavy dose of Michaels' brand of bluesy, R&B-based rock, and while he does coax a nice range of sound out of his two-instrument combo, ultimately it lacks some of the variety found on his early studio albums, which also had more of a psychedelic feel than is to be found here. Ironically, the six-minute Keith Knudson drum solo, more than anything in Michaels' own performance, is the one artifact that dates this album.

Reseña de Bruce Eder
Grabado en concierto acompañado por el baterista Keith Knudsen, Lee Michaels repasa en su mayoría versiones extendidas de varias canciones de cinco de sus primeros seis álbumes, intercalando números únicos en sus conciertos, como "My Lady". Curiosamente, Michaels no interpreta su mayor éxito, "Do You Know What I Mean", prefiriendo números como "Oak Fire" y "Rock Me Baby" del mismo álbum. Esta es una presentación honesta de un concierto de Lee Michaels, con un sonido crudo y sin retoques, y está en excelente forma, instrumental y vocalmente, en números como "Hold on to Freedom", "Stormy Monday" y la mayor parte del resto de este álbum. Sin embargo, puede que no sea la mejor manera de empezar a escucharle; Recital y el tercer álbum autotitulado son mejores en ese sentido. Lee Michaels Live es una fuerte dosis de rock bluesero y basado en el R&B de Michaels, y aunque saca una buena gama de sonidos de su combo de dos instrumentos, en última instancia, carece de la variedad que se encuentra en sus primeros álbumes de estudio, que también tenían más de una sensación psicodélica que se encuentra aquí. Irónicamente, el solo de batería de Keith Knudson, de seis minutos de duración, es, más que cualquier otra cosa en la actuación de Michaels, el único artefacto que data este álbum.
