Reviews Customer Reviews for Live In Boston Vol 2      Strong start, but more than a little disappointing...      Rating:      After listening to volume 1, I was absolutely blown away. I immediately ordered a copy of Volume 2, hoping for it to be every bit as amazing as volume 1, but now that I finally have it, I can't help but feel disappointed. It's not because the band is low on energy. Far from it. The problem is that Volume two showcases Jeremy Spencer's work the way Volume one showcased Peter Green and Danny Kirwan's. The show starts off with the beautiful guitar interplay of Peter Green and Danny Kirwan on "World In Harmony." A lighter number that changes up with a rougher bluesy sound for a few minutes before softening up again for the ending. They follow this up with a devastating performance of "Oh Well". Lasting just under 3 minutes, it's short but oh-so-sweet, with some great lead played by Danny. "Rattlesnake Shake" comes next, nearly the same as the version from Volume 1, but a little less organized and a little more free form jam. After these three songs, they turn the set over to Jeremy Spencer, and it goes downhill from here. Jeremy goes into a couple blues covers, he does a little 50s doo wop imitation thing that was probably better to watch than listen to, and he finishes off with a Little Richard tune. The songs aren't bad, but they just don't come close to touching the unique skill of Green and Kirwan. After this, they turn it back over to Green for a song, but instead of doing one of his own he decides to finish off the show with a cover of "Jenny, Jenny". Not bad, but not enough to recover what could have been another amazing performance. This isn't the last song on the disc, however. The band gets back onstage for an encore jam, featuring Eric Clapton and Joe Walsh. It's a pretty good jam that sort of peeters out after about 12 minutes. Overall, not a bad CD, but not that great either. It starts off strong for the first 3 songs, and never quite gets back up there after that.     Customer Reviews for Live In Boston Vol 2 Cd      The 2nd Volume is as good as the 1st!!!      Rating:      More Mac Attack! This second volume of 3 from the band's 1970 run at the Boston Tea Party is just as strong as the 1st volume of tracks. You can just feel the energy in these tracks with the first 3 being the highlights. The jam at the end is pretty tasty as well - as well as the steaming cover of Little Richard's Keep On Knocking. Awesome!! Bottom Line: Forget about picking one volume -- get them ALL!!!
