Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Live At Rockpalast
Review by John Cisco
Live at Rockpalast by Ian Dury & The Blockheads is an exceptional album that showcases the band's musical prowess and Ian Dury's charismatic stage presence. The live recording captures the energy and excitement of their performance at the Rockpalast festival in Germany in 1978.
The album features some of their greatest hits, including "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll," "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick," and "Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3." The Blockheads' tight instrumentation and Ian Dury's witty lyrics are a match made in heaven, and the live setting allows them to shine even brighter.
The recording quality is excellent, capturing the rawness and authenticity of a live show while maintaining clarity and balance. The crowd's enthusiasm is palpable, adding to the overall excitement of the album.
