Spend a little more money and get the 14 track 1990 Live CD instead For that reason alone I'm tempted to give this even fewer stars but I could never do that to this criminally overlooked band!! In fact the $4 used price is the ONLY plausible reason I could think of to own this. Yes this review is similar to my review of the Zebra "Slow down" live import CD but my point is the same - why waste time and money on this when the excellent 14 track "Zebra Live" CD, released in 1990, is widely available used for under $20. But I personally think the extra $$ spent on the 1990 CD is worth it because King Biscuit releases aren't exactly masterpieces of production and the 1990 CD sounds GREAT!!. Zebra - 'King Biscuit' (King Biscuit Flower Hour) Many fans thought they reminded them of Rush. Anyone but myself remember Zebra?Sure you do,they're the trio that made TV appearances on MTV,Rock Concert,etc when they first hit the scene. Actually it's been noted that Zeppelin was their main influence. King Biscuit had released this CD which includes segments from two live performances. Houston,TX in 1983 and Long Island(their hometown) in 1985. Randy Jackson's Page-like guitar licks and Geddy Lee-like vocals sound nothing short of true brilliance here. All eight tracks here wail,but to refresh your memory,there's "Who's Behind The Door?",the beautiful ballad "Bears",the "La La Song","I Don't Care" and "Tell Me What You Want" that make me sit up and take notice. There's also a twenty minute interview that reveals that Zebra STILL exists. Guitar Classics The singer came up strained in trying to hit the notes in "Tell Me What You Want" but the interview is fun, especially if you love their hits but don't know much about the bands history (just an extra bonus). This band can really take your mind away with great Guitar works throughout the whole show. The album itself is worth hearing the guitar melodies. Zebra:Live and Loud The sound quality isn't as good as Live, but it gives one the sense of being there. Randy Jackson and the boyz are captured in this early live performance. I have been a fan since the begining. I have never seen them live and in person. But it's the next best thing to being there. Other King Biscuit CD's to check out:Triumph, Romantics and Blackfoot. Brief but nice... The sound quality is about par, but the band's playing is as tight as ever. I'd never have a bad word to say about the boys, but the disc itself left me wanting more. Randy opens with a nice quick acoustic-riff intro to "Door. " The interview is one of those must-have items for fans like myself. I'm just looking for Zebra to do another show near here!.
