Reviews Customer Reviews for We Ve Got A Live One Here      Swingin', dandin' rock and boogie woogie      Rating:      Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen were one of the leading small venue bands that played rock with a mix of Texas Swing style, along with boogie woogie and other dancin' beats. This is one of their most outstanding efforts. The band's live albums are their best, as the studio works do not capture the party atmosphere with which the band played. This reviewer has nearly all of the band's tunes, either on vinyl recordings or on CD and considers this one to be among the two best, the other being another live recording, Live From Deep in the Heart of Texas. The selection of tunes in this recording includes some of the band's best known works. Their version of Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (that cigarette)! by Merle Travis became an exceptionally popular recording on radio, especially on college radio stations. The band originally came from Michigan, founded by George Frayne (Cody -- the piano player). They moved their locus of activity to the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1970's, and played exceptionally frequently in the local bars surrounding local college campuses. Enjoy this one -- it's one of the best!     Customer Reviews for We Ve Got A Live One Here Cd      Commander Cody, We Got A Live One Here !      Rating:      Fantastic fun swang rock.These guys were the hilt in the day.I saw them live in Phoenix,Arizona about 1979 and they tore the place up and left everyone just devastated and ripped.Most people had to crawl out of there.I have seen over 50 groups in the late 70's early 80's and by far these guys put on the best show I have ever seen.If your a trucker over 50 , you probably should buy this.If you are younger...sorry ...you missed out on history but thanks to Amazon,here is a piece of it.Enjoy ! ! Editorial Reviews for We Ve Got A Live One Here Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Expert musicianship, a diverse repertoire, and an active sense of humor become an explosive mixture in the hands of the Airmen. Recorded during a 1976 tour of England, Live One shows the genre-twisting band in all its maniacal glory. Western swing standards, rockabilly romps, R&B chestnuts, and a rash of truck-driving songs all find their way into the potent blend, not to mention their offbeat, drug-addled originals. Bill Kirchen's nifty guitar work, Andy Stein's punchy fiddle, and Bobby Black's pedal-steel forays provide the meat: no matter how goofy it gets, their formidable musical chops keep it all together. --Marc Greilsamer
