OTIS REDDING
Otis Redding - Live At the Whisky a Go Go, The Complete Recordings [2016] (7 x CD's)
Every time I listen to Redding I always think "what would of happend had he lived?" It sucks that he died so young (I was three days old when he died) but at least we have sets like this to keep his legacy alive!
This essential six-CD set captures Otis and his blazing ten-piece band at a vital time in soul music, where a young showman was trying to cross over to the white rock'n'rollers on the Sunset Strip.
“We’re hoping that this be one of the greatest albums that ever come out.” Otis Redding says these words just before launching into “Respect” on April 8, 1966, wrapping up the first of seven sets he’d play over the course of three days at Los Angeles’ Whisky A Go Go. A few songs earlier, he first informed the crowd that they were recording the concert with plans of releasing it as an album, playing the newly-written “Good to Me” for the second time in nine songs simply because it was the single and they needed to get it right. For his ’66 stint at the Whisky A Go Go, he was backed by his road band, the Otis Redding Revue, a ten-piece group similar to the bands who supported him whenever he toured the south. This is the residency that is captured in its entirety on Stax’s six-disc box Live at the Whisky A Go Go: the Complete Recordings. (Amazon)
I have split these 6 CD's into 7 CD's to represent each of the performance sets. This set is awesome.

ReplyDeleteBB
ReplyDeleteI was 16 and Christmas shopping in Selfridges on Oxford Street when I saw the headline on the evening newspaper that Otis had died in a plane crash, it was a bitter blow. Thanks for the share for everyone that does not have this.
Hi BB,wow, thanks for this one- nice to hear more
ReplyDeletefrom this venue -
In '67, I won tickets from the local AM station in San Francisco,
to see the Jefferson Airplane, at the Fillmore, and they performed Surrealistic Pillow
for the first time - I also picked up on the way out an Otis Redding poster -
Sadly, he died before he made it there to perform. Also, my Mom threw the poster out -
She also washed the sweatshirt I wore, and had signed by all the Airplane ; (
Thanks again for this set = Cheers!
Mum's eh? They never do understand what drives a teenager's world of music, especially when it's making history :)
