Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com
"When Dinosaurs Roamed the Stage" might be a good subtitle for this 85-minute concert, which features the likes of Styx, Iron Butterfly, John Kay & Steppenwolf, and other (mostly) '60s and '70s rockers performing in 1999 at Tennessee's Itchycoo Park. Calling them "legends" is a bit of a stretch; for the most part, these are people who had some hits and then disappeared, only to rise again on the rock revival circuit with, in most cases, less than a full complement of original members.

Potentially pathetic, perhaps, but all concerned turn in good, solid performances. Predictable ones, too, but one can hardly expect Grand Funk Railroad's Mark Farner not to play "I'm Your Captain," and the same goes for Firefall and "You Are the Woman," Starship (with Mickey Thomas the only remaining singer from the Jefferson Airplane spinoff's "classic" lineup) and "We Built This City," and on and on. In fairness, some of the performances go beyond the by-the-numbers approach: Kay brings some genuine fire to "Born to Be Wild," and Christopher Cross and his superb band beautifully re-create the smooth groove of "Sailing." --Sam Graham
