The title of this blazing live document comes from a between-song quip from guest artist
Deniz Tek
, and it's certainly fitting -- the show captured here brings together some truly legendary figures from the Michigan college town that became a home to the likes of
the Stooges
and
the MC5
back in the day. In the 1960s,
Scott Morgan
was the lead singer and guitarist with Detroit's finest blue-eyed
R&B
act,
the Rationals
, and later he teamed with
Fred "Sonic" Smith
to form the brilliant (and woefully underappreciated)
Sonic's Rendezvous Band
. While
Morgan
has a remarkable resume, he's also still making great high-energy
rock & roll
in the new millennium with his band
Powertrane
, and for a handful of special shows at Ann Arbor's
Blind Pig
, they were joined by
Tek
, an Ann Arbor emigre and close friend of
's who formed one of Australia's most iconic rock outfits,
Radio Birdman
.
,
, and
lead guitarist
Robert Gillespie
(who has played with
Rob Tyner
Mitch Ryder
) make for a truly devastating guitar combination here, and things only get hotter when
Ron Asheton
shows up for a show-closing mini-set of
Stooges
classics. But as good as
"TV Eye,"
"No Fun,"
"1969"
sound in this context, the songs that really astound are
's stellar originals (especially
"R.I.P. R&R,"
"Runaway Slaves,"
"Dangerous"
) and some lesser-known tunes from
's solo career, in particular
"Blood from a Stone"
and a simply blistering run through
"Outside"."
Cult Heroes
belter
Hiawatha Bailey
sounds great taking vocals on several of the
' numbers, and it's high praise to bassist
Chris "Box" Taylor
and drummer
Andrew Frost
that they don't just keep up with the frontline talent, but push them gloriously into the red zone. The best
live albums are the ones that leave you saying, "Man, I would have loved to have seen that," and anyone who digs high-energy Detroit-style
will listen with slack-jawed glee to
Ann Arbor Revival Meeting
, imagining they'd been at the
this particular evening. Thankfully, a good recording engineer was on hand to capture the fury for the folks who couldn't make it, and the results are 66 minutes of heavily amplified bliss. ~ Mark Deming
