This weeks live cd pick of the week goes to the Godfather of Soul - James Brown with his cd titled Love Power Peace (Live at the Olympia, Paris 1971). There are others out there that will argue that his Live at the Appolo cd is better but for me this is the one!
This captures James during his peak funk period and features the J.B.'s with Bootsy Collins on bass! Featuring a combination of older material (Please, Please, Please, It's a Man's World, Papa's Got a Brand New Bag) as well as newer material (Sex Machine, Super Bad, Soul Power, Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved) This is a classic!
A great live recording that you will not be disappointed with! There are a lot of James "Best Of" cd's out there but for the sheer excitement of a live show this is the one you need to be bumpin' to and LOUD!
