Review
Live
in Los Angeles is the new live album from UK Psych Stoner Rockers –
1968 – from their recent USA Tour which the band went down a storm
with US audiences. Well, especially from the sound of this huge
sounding live recording from the world famous venue - “Whisky A Go
Go”. The band play a stunning set of their most well known songs
such as – Temple Of The AcidWolf, Wardogs, Fortune Havana and epic
sounding song- McQueen. The band include a new song – Blackwing -on
this album and it’s a very good song indeed.
There
are no hidden surprises on this album and you’ve perhaps heard all
of the songs before. Though it’s good to hear what 1968 sound like
on the live stage. This album has been Mixed and Mastered as close as
hearing the band actually on stage. The album isn’t the best
produced but it draws you into the murky atmosphere of the world
famous venue.
1968
play a greatest hits set-list on this album. They have to especially
with this being their debut USA Tour. They have to let the audience
know what the band do on the live stage and they don’t disappoint.
As you can hear the audience lapping up the entire show. It’s a
precise 36 minute show but it succeeds in doing what a top-notch live
album should do. Mainly to entertain the listener with the band’s
most well known hits and playing their hearts out. 1968 succeed here
with Live In Los Angeles as they leave the audience wanting more
especially after the bombastic last song – McQueen – which is the
best song on this album.
Live
In Los Angeles is the perfect introduction to one of the best
upcoming bands from the UK Psych Stoner Rock/Metal scene. Expect huge
sounding Psych Rock, Stoner Rock and Classic Rock from 1968 but with
a modern sound flowing through from start to finish.
