Dozin' at the Knick review
When
I heard Dozin’ at the Knick I was surprised at how good it
is. It includes a compilation of three concerts performed March 24
– 26, 1990, at the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, NY.
The CD is put together extremely well as far song selection
and filling the discs to capacity giving maximum value.
It is Brent's last year before his untimely death, and Dozin’
at the Knick does great justice to him. It showcases his ability
to play melodic runs or add the colorful tones, and features several
of his compositions.
Dozin’
at the Knick’s
first disc is set one material compiled from all three nights. The
selected songs are not my A list, but they are well played. My
favorite part is the three-song sequence of "Never Trust A
Woman," " When I Paint My Masterpiece," and "Row
Jimmy."
Included
on Dozin’ at the Knick is the whole second set and encore
from the March 24 show. It begins on the second disc and continues
on the third. The second disc is the best one. It certainly has the
most exploratory and improvisational pieces. You can almost count on
a "Playing In the Band" > "Uncle Johns Band"
to be worthwhile and this one is. However, of particular note is a
superb "Terrapin Station" and even better is the
"Jam" that follows.
The
third disc of Dozin’ at the Knick begins with the
conclusion of the second set from March 24, which is good, but not
as interesting and the first part of the set. The remainder of the
disc is from March 25, the after "Space” portion. It includes
marvelous music, including the catchy
"Going down the Road Feeling Bad" into the slide
guitar laden "Black Peter."
The version of "Around and Around" is full of
energy and has an interesting ending to it.
The encore, Brokedown Palace, from the March 26 show is a
perfect ending to a great disc.
Dozin’
at the Knick is superb, no question. by Barry

Dozin' at the Knick
was one of the first vault releases, and while it's not perfect,
it's the best place to look for late period Mydland material. The
first set has some great stuff and some that is awful. I never liked
"Never Trust a Woman," "Walkin' Blues,"
"Jack-a-Roe," or "Just a Little light,"
and these versions don't change my mind. Faring much better, is an
explosive "Hell in a Bucket," and cool Pigpen like rap in
"Blow Away."
Disc two, most of the
second set of 3-24, is note for note perfect, with a great "MLB"
jam after "Terrapin Station." Even the "Drums"
> "Space" section is interesting, unlike other performances
from this period. The third disc is two post-space sections, and the
first is much better than the second, with a rocking
"Watchtower," gentle "Stella Blue," and
not-as-boring-as-usual "Not Fade Away." A highlight is how
the crowd sings "You know my love will not fade away"
until the band appears once again to sing a rare "And We Bid
You Goodnight." All things considered, Dozin' at the
Knick is a very accessible release, and should be the first
place one looks for early 90's dead. by Zack
