Now this is what rock and roll was meant to be like! The Jersey based Jukes were a bit Springsteen, a bit Chicago and a bit J Giles band all in one ! Their music is lively and full of pure energy. Musically these guys were excellent led by the gruff vocals of Southside Johnny, small brass section , bass, guitars and keyboards.
This double vinyl set captures the guys on tour circa 1979/1980 and features most of their well known tracks from their Epic and Mercury albums. Side four features an ode to Sam Cooke as they perform a medley of his classic hits and Chuck Berry's "Back In The U.S.A". Their live version of "Why Is Love Such A Sacrifice" is one of clear standout tracks and sounds waaaaaay better live than studio.
This is an excellent live album
