Dancing on air (Jack Bruce) (LP 820)

Jack Bruce   Live In America (Vinyl and CD, Let them eat vinyl/The store for music, 2007) ****  

Genre: Blues rock 

Places I remember: Vinyl copy from Amoeba Music San Francisco. CD copy The Warehouse.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Hit And Run

Gear costume: Born Under A Bad Sign  (this version features Rory Gallagher on guitar)

Active compensatory factors: A great band on this set as Billy Cobham (drums), David Sancious (keyboards) and Clem Clempson (guitar) join the GOAT on bass - Jack Bruce.

The set list takes in some hits (White Room, Politician, Theme for an Imaginary Western) and some deep cuts. 

The band is tight/loose (these guys just lean and produce). Loads of impromptu improvisation makes this feel like jazz.

The packaging of both is terrible though - it makes it feel like an upmarket bootleg. Because of the different covers I mistakenly bought the vinyl version without realising I had the CD at home. Doh!

It actually plays better as a CD - as it provides a natural flow without the need to get up to flip sides (double album, single CD).

Where do they all belong? A few more CDs to come in the Jack Bruce collection.
