CD 2 better than 1 CD!

The album "461 Ocean Boulevard" from 1974 is a critically acclaimed classic and at that time also a bestseller. This album consists of songs 1 to 10 of this deluxe edition. I personally do not skin the album to, it is neat: There are brilliant songs like "I Shot The Sheriff" or "Let it grow", as well as dreary as "Please be with me". One shortcoming of the album is the same, in my view the overly smooth production. The problem there is in my view many studio albums from the 70s. How CD2 shows, producer or record companies seem to have been responsible for it, who would not overwhelm the mass audience with too wild drumming and heavily distorted guitars. Because CD2 containing a live concert of December 1974, is Eric Clapton, as I've never heard him sound Rauher, a brilliant drummer, sprawling guitar solos. His mediocre songs are suddenly good, the good genius, the brilliant sounds "Layla", which is real hard rock in which the musicians seem to let off steam properly. Inspiring and no comparison with the later lame unplugged version. A concert of Eric Clapton seems then to have been a really intense experience. CD 2 proves that rock music in 1974 those of today inferior in nothing, on the contrary, at least when it was played live. Accordingly include several live albums as Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" and "At Fillmore East" of the Allman Brothers Band, the musical best of what it has given in the '70s. CD2 of this deluxe edition is for the latter in nothing.

CD1, which still contains some uninteresting in my view, jam sessions in the studio except for the album, gets me 4 stars, CD2 that my CD player currently hardly leaves 6 star, for a total of 5 star :).
