"Cologne! Good evening!"

Fire It Up-Live (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Somebody Joe Cocker would have to say that he in "Cologne" occurred that evening, not in "Cologne", when he already greeting and "thank you!" appropriated in German, right? From the setlist ago Cocker leaves nothing to chance, however. Even the album title suggests that it is this is a promotional event for his latest studio album, which he distributed the first eight songs about the evening. Otherwise lacking among the remaining 13 songs, none of the big hits of With A Little Help from my Friends to Summer in the City, almost every major albums are represented by a per song or two, and it also 23 years after Cocker's "Live!" - CD eight intersections in the setlist two live albums are - and still with three "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" of 1970th

N'oubliez jamais (from "Across from Midnight") was to me personally with his pseudo-French charm always something too shallow. A nice surprise is Come Together, the download bonus track of "Hymn for My Soul" (2007), with the Joe Cocker its rich canon another Lennon / McCartney composition added. Up Where We Belong, and especially You Are So Beautiful (at the Cocker for once again both verses of the original is the best) are very soulful interpretation, With A Little Help from my Friends is celebrated over a mere 11 minutes of a moment of boredom. Beautiful as both background singers get short solos in Cry Me A River, of which I could have imagined and more.

Joe Cocker, the time of shooting just 68 Lenze old and since long time almost beardless, is still in very good voice, especially considering how little he has spared the decades throughout his body. Appealing its sovereign band idea, especially Cocker is not famous for its long announcements. The band plays great, of bored routine no trace. The album lives on a pleasantly warm sound. I especially love the sound of the Hammond-organist. And that the band quite ascends keyboard-heavy, she rocks surprisingly strong. But with a Cocker concert I associate - as with its albums, not least the studio template "Fire it up" - the sound of at least two guitars, especially the excellent guitarist (similar Ron Wood on the regular Stones live albums) most of the time very was widely mixed in the background. Even his solos often only part of the whole event, he has it in Albummix usually difficult to prevail (for which he himself can not be sure).

It should also be noted that to me a live recording as that of the previous tour would have preferred; "Fire it up" was certainly the more commercial album to dare a live double CD by the record company, but the songs on "Hard Knocks" I find consistently edgy and interesting. All in all, however, "Fire it up - Live", recorded in front of a Cologne audience that receives the popular especially in Germany singers warm, a round thing.
