Living Colour- CBGB Omfug Masters: August 19, 2005 The Bowery Collection - REVIEW



Following hot on the heels of Terror’s gig recorded at CBGB’s MVD Audio have unleashed Living Colour at CBGB’s. The show is captured live in the raw without studio overdubs or trickery. This is the band live and in your face. Direct from the CBGB soundboard! Living Colour’s 12 track set on August 19th, 2005 is nothing short of brilliant. Having not heard the band for many moons I’m reminded by this disc just how fucking phenomenal a band they really were. If you’ve never heard Living Colour grab this as a sampler of their greatness, unlike most live albums this is truly the real deal. The standout tracks are; “Funny Vibe,” “Open Letter To Landlord,” “Love Rears It’s Ugly Head” and “Cult Of Personality.”
