Live On The Sunset Strip
by: Otis Redding
(Concord Music Group)
This 2-CD collection documents Otis Redding’s historic 1966 performance at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles. Redding already cemented his accomplishments with STAX Records, and at this point already enjoyed success by covering The Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction”. Live On The Sunset Strip captures Redding at the apex of his talents.
This collection includes three full live sets that have never been available in their entirety before in the exact sequences the songs were played down to the emcee introductions. The booklet contains rare photographs and liner notes by Ashley Kahn, an author of music biographies as well as contributing to NPR.
On April 7-10, the club booked The Otis Redding Revue for Easter weekend that followed Redding’s Hollywood Bowl appearance. During these performances, Bob Dylan showed up and even offered Redding a song, “Just Like A Woman”, but Redding declined stating the song had too many words. Later Redding went on to playing San Francisco’s Fillmore, toured with the STAX/Volt Revue in Europe and blew everyone away at the Monterey International Pop Festival in June of 1967. In December of the same year, Redding died in a tragic plane crash.
Taj Mahal and his group, Rising Sons, opened for Redding during these Sunset gigs. Later Mahal said of these performances, "I'm still real clear about those shows. It was raw and unscripted. It was just the joy of music, you know. The joy of rhythm, the joy of energy...
Disc One begins with “Security”. A killer version of “Just One More Day” is next. Soon it becomes evident, this may be one of the most formidable of all Otis Redding’s live performances. Other songs on this disc include “These Arms of Mine”, “Satisfaction”, “I Can’t Turn You Loose”, “Chained And Bound”, “Any Ole Way” and “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long”. The two discs are divided into three performance sets.
Disc Two includes "Destiny", "Good To Me", "Mr. Pitiful", "Ole Man Trouble", The Beatles' "A Hard Days Night", a ten-minute version of James Brown's "Papas Got A Brand New Bag" and another version of The Stones' "Satisfaction". Hands down, this ranks as one of Otis Redding's greatest recorded performances, and one of the year's strongest releases. Otis Redding's Live On The Sunset Strip should serve as your next musical purchase.

A ugg boots clearance recent survey found that one out of five Americans teenage or older want an iPad. No wonder Apple is selling three million iPads a month. It's the fastest-selling single product in the history of consumer electronics. Most buyers are choosing an iPad as a supplement to their current computers -- for watching movies in bed, like I do, or reading books in my easy chair when there's nothing good on TV ugg boots clearance. The iPad pretty much has the personal side of computing covered. But what about the computer side? What about the tasks you do on your laptop or on your desktop computer ugg boots clearance? But I'm convinced that many of you would find the iPad a delightful replacement for a typical laptop computer, whether a Windows PC or Mac, if you mostly use a laptop for three typical functions -- e-mail, social networking (through Facebook, for example) and Web browsing ugg boots clearance. What about occasional word processing? Apple's word processor, called Pages, is outstanding on the iPad. (A bonus: It also works easily with Microsoft Word documents, both reading them and saving them.) If you need software that can show and create PowerPoint presentations, iPad software called Keynote can do that nicely. There's even an Excel-compatible program called Numbers ugg boots clearance. All three of these productivity programs -- called apps -- sell for only $10 each. Getting something equivalent to Microsoft Office for only $30 is surely a steal ugg boots clearance. There are many, either free or a couple of dollars, at the App Store ugg boots outlet. Could an iPad be your only computer? Not for long. It gets updates via free software called iTunes running on a standard computer. When you plug the iPad into the computer using a USB cable, iTunes transfers the updates to your iPad ugg boots outlet. (iTunes is also used to add music, books, podcasts, university lectures, TV shows and movies to an iPad.) But if my experience is a guide, the iPad can function well as a replacement for a laptop. If you buy one, be sure to get the Keyboard Dock and the Camera Connection Kit. Photos look spectacular on the 10-inch screen ugg boots clearance.
