Johnny Rivers "Whisky A Go-Go Revisited" 1967

Hi Everyone, I really loved the Johnny Rivers Anthology post, here on Twilightzone and I started to listen again my old record. I was thinking to post it here, but strangely I imagine that everybody has this disc in its collection, but a friend did not have it... Then for those who do not have it any more or those who have never had it, enjoy that vinyl rip!!! - Magic Kaic's Music
In 1967, Johnny Rivers was slowly but surely moving into more musically adventurous territory with his albums Changes, Rewind, and Realization when he made one of the last of many LPs recorded at the signature Los Angeles rock club where he first gained fame, the Whisky A Go-Go. Whisky A Go-Go Revisited's first side was very much in the manner of his other live albums, with Rivers and his combo -- including the great Larry Knechtel on organ -- stomping through a handful of dance-friendly rock and R&B numbers, with Rivers' muscular guitar work and confident vocals making the most of songs like "It's Too Late," "Got My Mojo Working," and "When a Man Loves a Woman" (Rivers rarely gets the credit he deserves as one of the best and least histrionic blue-eyed soul singers of his era). Things get a bit more interesting on side two, devoted to a 15-minute workout on "John Lee Hooker," with Rivers and the band digging deep into the boogie in the manner of the titular Crawling Kingsnake (though "Satisfaction" and "Baby Please Don't Go" bob up and down through the jam more than once), and while this extended version of the number isn't all that radical in terms of what it sets out to do, it's a far cry from what Rivers was doing on-stage a mere three years before, and is more than a bit telling given the changing musical Review by Mark Deming(allmusic.com)
