Reviews Customer Reviews for Columbia Live At Missouri University      my dog BLOCKHEAD was there...      Rating:      ...and so was I. Last encore number is not included on the disc ("Duke of Earl"). There was a ferris wheel....even Chilton eventually cracked a smile     Customer Reviews for Columbia Live At Missouri University Cd      Amazing performance...BUY THIS CD!      Rating:      Of the many live shows I've seen and heard over the years, this is one of the best. Every song crackles with energy. Alex Chilton and Jon Auer's guitar sounds are a gorgeous mixture of Rickenbacker shimmer and Gibson crunch. Many of the classic Big Star songs are well represented here: In The Street, Ballad of El Goodo, Back of a Car and September Gurls all sound fantastic and not at all dated. The band even gives a fitting tribute to the late Chris Bell, covering I Am The Cosmos, a song that fits seamlessly with the others. Covers of T. Rex's "Baby Strange" and Todd Rundgren's "Slut" in particular highlight the band's considerable live chops. Don't get me wrong, I fully respect the original Big Star lineup with Bell and Andy Hummel, but without a doubt the addition of Posies Auer and Ken Stringfellow adds sufficient muscle to the performance. Alex Chilton's vocals are as good now as they were then and Jody Stephens is a highly underrated drummer. Don't hesitate to buy this album. Almost any fan of rock music - from Neil Young to Teenage Fanclub will love this album.
