CHICKENFOOT Best + Live By Andrew Depedro, Ottawa Corespondent Monday, June 12, 2017 @ 12:47 AM
In fact, to many skeptics, wouldn’t it seem rather presumptuous of CHICKENFOOT to have gone ahead with releasing a greatest hits album titled Best + Live after a five-year absence given their rather small discography? Granted, it’s a modest collection of their best-known songs ranging from their obvious hits such as “Soap On A Rope”, “Sexy Little Thing” and the aforementioned “Oh Yeah!” alongside some hidden gems such as “Big Foot” and “Dubai Blues” as well as their latest bone-crunching catchy number “Divine Termination”. In this case, however, for the avid CHICKENFOOT connoisseur eager for some real cluck for their buck, it’s the live segment of this album that’ll ruffle some feathers in a good way.
The greatest hits part does feature three live performances from the same Phoenix show - specifically, high-level covers of “Highway Star” (DEEP PURPLE), “Bad Motor Scooter” (MONTROSE) and “My Generation” (THE WHO) with Joe Satriani’s face-melting rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” improvised in between for good measure - which were previously only available as video on the DVD/Blu-ray Get Your Buzz On before appearing on CD form on this collection. But as solid as their own renditions of these classic songs are, the Lake Tahoe live recordings definitely showcase CHICKENFOOT as a strong live band in their own right with their own material. Wisely too, the setlist from the Phoenix show doesn’t completely match the greatest hits segment of Best + Live, allowing for CHICKENFOOT to branch out with other songs that didn’t make it on the greatest hits playlist. Opening with the rolling jam
It’s a secret recipe that CHICKENFOOT haven’t had any need to change in spite of their off and on recording and touring career.
