This Is How It Was At His Shows Back Then...
's concerts back in these days,and this is a fair representation(unlike most live albums) of the energy of his shows-It was great to be there,and I learned a lot as a young musician coming up-Hank Jr. I saw four or five of Hank Jr. is an entertainer first and foremost,which you might need to keep in mind when listening to this-It's all him and his band(The Bama Band,I believe),and his acoustic segment is really cool-I'm picking this up on CD so I can feel sixteen again-And remember,If You Don't Like Hank Jr. ,That's YOUR Problem!.


The Worst Album I Ever Bought - Period
No album in any genre can compare with the sheer awfulness of this dog. I bought this in college, put it on the turntable (yes, we had vinyl in those days) and immediate realized I had flushed $8 down the toilet. The crowd is restive, screaming incoherently and randomly throughout, but there is no real excitement, because the performances are universally terrible. Hank screams, talks, hollers, and mumbles, but he sure doesn't sing a note throughout the entire show, and he is horribly out of tune for the duration.

The covers are all of a piece - atrocious rewrites that serve to prop up Hank's massive ego, and his frequent references to his truly talented father.

The only saving grace is that I heard this fiasco before I ever plopped down any hard-earned pay at an actual show.


Hank
On a single night he makes his Daddy look like a sharecropper. It shows Hank's power.


BAD DESCRIPTION
WAS NOT UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT SOME OF THE SONGS WERE ONLY EXCERPS. WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, HOWEVER THE CD IS FAIRLY GOOD.


Keep Jr in the Studio Where He Belongs
I'm For Love (or the part he performed) was about a minute long. While I like most of his recordings, this live album is a collection of about a half a dozen concerts pieced together most likely because he seems unable to completely perform some of his songs. Stick to his studio recordings.
