For sure Live At The Apollo by James Brown is one of the best live albums ever recorded. It is not for nothing that Rolling Stone leads the album to number 24 on the eternal Top 500 list of the best. In the unprecedented, nearly fifty-year career of the R&B/funk genius, there has never been an album as successful as Live At The Apollo. Now this document has been digitally remastered and four bonus tracks have been added. The booklet was also filled with new content. With photos, additional information and comments, the story and magic behind this live performance can be understood even better.
ReviewsA masterclass in live performance—Brown’s voice is incredible, but it’s his band that really carries the performance.” – Rolling Stone
“A dazzling, genre-warping debut that changed the rules of hip-hop.” – Pitchfork
“A stunning, confrontational reckoning with history—raw, righteous, and redemptive.” – NPR
“A tour de force of historical storytelling and musical craftsmanship.” – The Guardian
“An unshakable blend of tradition and revolution.” – Mojo
F. Schöler in Rolling Stone 6 / 04: "From the first ecstatic gospel cry on "I'll Go Crazy" to the finale with "Night Train", Brown and band celebrated the show that they had to find their way to after years of hard work. By now the master knew how to play with the audience. Unabridged and completely reconstructed, this half hour of the legendary performance can be heard here for the first time without retouchingReview
