The First Barbarians!

Just got the Cd/DVD by mail today, and just watched the concert. Wow! Great! Especially loved Take a Look at the Guy, Sure the One You Need and loved Keith at the piano on Act Together (And of course Ronnie's phrase: "Sure looking... nice"grinning smiley ) I guess most of you've got it, but if you haven't.... Buy it at once!

In 1974, they didn't use this term of barbarians. It was ronnie's first album promotion.

I know that, but that's the title of the cd/dvd, and it's still a great concert, title considered. Sorry for not beeing precise enough...

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. Already having boot copies of the video and cd I wondered if it would be worth it but I'm glad i got mine! I personally like the b/w footage even better than the color for its clarity.

Yes, and they've done a very good job restoring the audio as well! Nice to hear both Ronnie and Keith as sharp as this in their playing. (Even though I'm glad they've evolved guitar-sound-wise>grinning smiley< )
Does anybody know which amps they were using back then?

interesting question--I believe keith used Ampegs for both the '72 and '75 tours, as did the whole Stones backline, but would he have deferred to what ron wanted for this occasion? What did the Faces use?

I´m not satified with the audio quality. It seems, they just took the bootlegg and released it. there are @#$%& much noises on this CD. I loved the bootleg but for an official release it´s quite poor - sorry Ronnie

Yes, I think I remember now, reading that they used Ampegs from 69 to 78. Ridiculously high watted too. (Was it 300w amps?) I'm very glad they stopped using those! I very much prefer their guitarsound from the '81 tour to present.

I though it was all a bit sloppy.

It's a terrific performance, indeed.
"Sloppy"? One might as well criticize the show for being "naturally rocking"
I love it when Rod Stewart steps out for his line in If You Gotta Make Fool Of Somebody....

Im pretty sure The Faces used to play with Ampegs, just like the Stones. And easily, Ronnie and Keith used ampegs for this gig too..
I love that sound!
