United Sound - Live Live At The Three Coins

Review by Jorge Maxter Santos

United Sound's live album, Live At The Three Coins, is an impressive display of the band's musicianship and energy. Recorded at the legendary Three Coins nightclub in Detroit, the album captures the raw, unbridled spirit of United Sound's performances.

From the opening track, "Funky Good Time," the band establishes a groove that never lets up. The rhythm section of drummer Steve Smith and bassist Ron Brooks provides a rock-solid foundation for the virtuosic playing of keyboardist Earl Van Dyke, guitarist Dennis Coffey, and saxophonist George Benson.

The setlist is a mix of original compositions and covers, with highlights including the funky "Soulful Strut," the soulful "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)," and the jazzy "Misty." Each track showcases the band's tight arrangements and dynamic interplay.

Summary by Jorge Maxter Santos

Live At The Three Coins is a must-have for fans of United Sound and lovers of live music. It's a testament to the band's talent and the vibrant music scene of Detroit in the 1960s.
