The Blasters, “Over There- Live at the Venue, London: The Complete Concert” (Wienerworld)- This splendid live set was captured for posterity at London’s Venue in May,1982, celebrating The Blasters’ first appearance in the U.K. as a concert headliner in all its unadorned glory. Various excerpts from this no holds barred show have appeared on record over the years, but this is the first time that all 23 live tracks have appeared together on CD to remind listeners of the six piece California band’s infectious brand of rock’n’roll revivalism. The inclusion of thirteen hitherto unreleased recordings adds to the appeal of this vibrant musical showcase for brothers Phil and Dave Alvin and their like minded cohorts as they serve up inspired covers of Slim Harpo’s “Got Love If You Want It,” Little Richard’s “Keep A Knockin’” and the Jerry Lee Lewis classic “High School Confidential” for your listening pleasure.
