“

When the Love Generation (which, truthfully, did no better with that emotion than any other generation) got its first real glimpse of soul giant Otis Redding at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 backed by Booker T. & the MG's, a powerhouse band if there ever were one, they saw love with a capital L, because Redding sang love songs like the world was about to end, wringing the emotion out of them like a soulful, urgent hurricane. He was, simply put, an unstoppable force on-stage, taking all the energy of gospel and upping the ante until it seemed like the very sky itself was about to fly off into space from the very power of it. Redding was soul, and soul in every fiber of his being. The two sets included here, which predate the Monterey performance by a couple of months, were recorded in London (March 17) and Paris (March 21) on the Stax/Volt package tour of Europe in 1967, and they just might be even more astounding (particularly the Paris night) than the Monterey set. Working again with the MG's, with the horns of the Mar-Keys along for extra kick, Redding burns the house down in both of these sets, wringing every last bit of energy out of Sam Cooke's "Shake" until it seems the universe is about to come off its hinges, turning "Try a Little Tenderness" into a silken caress, making "I've Been Loving You Too Long" into an anthem for the hopeless arc of love, and taking "Day Tripper" to places the Beatles could only dream about, all with the MG's and the Mar-Keys churning behind him like a huge, funky turbine. This was Stax soul in all its ragged, vital glory. The original tapes of these sets (Atlantic issued an LP of the London show in 1967) have been reassembled and restored for this release, and the end result is a stunning reminder of what a giant Redding was.

I can say the same thing! Except that... I see a lot of awesome posts here that I end up having to search elsewhere in mp3 since I can't handle the heavy downloads and sophisticated lossless encodings with my very limited computer resources. :( It's a little bit of extra work for me, but I can still appreciate the fact that I get to *know* a lot of great music I only see here. And I'm grateful that a lot of people that will not give up the quality of lossless can still share in lossy mp3 as well, making both downloads available. Anyway, I'm thanking you, actually, MrSoul. :) I love Otis, so thanks for letting me know about this live recording. I can now look it up and enjoy. Keep up the great work!

Thanks MrSoul! I didn't have this one and have never heard it. Otis is great! Thanks for the lossless!

You're welcome! Thank you for your comments.

@diamonds
Idea of lossless is to preserve original quality of sound, but i'm also aware of people with limited and low bandwith, so i will try to include mp3 option in my future uploads and maybe some previous too. Please check in few days for updates.

Greetings!

James Brown may have been "The Godfather of Soul", but in my opinion THE definitive piece of Soul music has to be Otis Redding with any live recording of "Try A Little Tenderness". And here you get two(!) killer versions on one platter, and man! do they both kick ass!

MrSoul - we all owe you one.

And thanks for giving us the choice between lossy and lossless. I wish more people would do it.
