An Extra-Special Performance! Nov 15, 2009 Of the dozen or so shows Jack Bruce, Robin Trower and Gary Husband played together in Europe/UK in 2009 this recording captures why the performances were so amazing. Most of the material is from the 2008 released Seven Moons-hence Seven Moons Live. The Seven Moons songs were co-written by Jack and Robin when Jack suggested they write and record a couple new songs when discussions about re-releasing their 1981 recordings brought them together. The two musicians found some highly expressionistic moods and the Seven Moons material is all fresh and evocative of their deep wells of experience. Blues flavored rock numbers such as Lives of Clay; Perfect Place; Bad Case of Celebrity; and Come to Me; are perfect. Trower's guitar is simply excellent throughout. Jack Bruce sings all vocals and plays his instrumental role with the exceptional talent-those of us who have long admired him for enjoy. As a vocalist Jack not only sings the notes but expresses character. The song Carmen (from the duo's 1981 recording) which was kind of a plaintive haunting piece on BLT, is here a tortured song of loss and regret. The richness of Distant Places of the Heart; and Just Another Day are gorgeous mood pieces that after awhile are candidates for Best songs of the album but they must compete with the 3 Cream songs. Sunshine of Your Love, White Room and Politician are Jack Bruce compositions and usually featured in a trio format. With Robin Trower and Gary Husband on drums they alone are worth the price of the recording. Trower has a great tone and he does something different with the opening chords on White Room that is delicious and his solo on Politician is a pleasure. The Last Door is a rocker which along with the title track Seven Moons is a joy for repeat plays. Robin Trower wrote most of the lyrics and arrangements with Jack writing the vocal melody. Gary Husband is the hardest worker in this trio and his drums are strong and original.

don't waste your money Nov 15, 2009 Don't waste your money like I did. Jack Bruce's vocals ruin this attempt at making music. I tried my best to listen to this CD but the vocals kept making me depressed. This CD should have never been produced.

Hang it up Jack Nov 09, 2009 Let's face it. Jack Bruce HAD one of rock's all time greatest voices, but it's long gone. The fact that he's still performing with his now feeble voice only pours salt into the psychedelic-music-era-is-over wound. I actually cringe listening to some of notes he's trying for especially in White Room.
Trower, on the other hand, plays like he's still 24 counter-balancing Bruce's vocal shortcomings. Full of fire and passion, Robin creates any semblance of emotion this CD has and carries the performance. Too bad Davey Pattison isn't belting out the vocals!
