Is It Good To Be Live? Yes It was


Looking forward to performance at Release Party on Friday.

I am listening to Javier Mendoza's latest It's Good To Be Live Volume 2. Like the night it was performed I find this to be a quality performance. Although it is a little subdued, you can feel the passion and Javier's commitment to his music in these tracks.

I also enjoyed last year's recordings that were lost, and believe that they had a higher energy level. These of course you have to find on You Tube.

Head down to the Gramophone on Friday 08/29/2008 to hear and see the performance

Update:
The CD release Party show was excellent. Javier started with a "repeat performance" of the CD, but this time with a bit more ENERGY in the set. Once completed Javier and the band went in to a more rock oriented performance. Both sets were very good with 75% of the crowd really in to the show. Unfortunately, 25% were there just to drink and YAP which they should have done at their house rather than intrude on the night's true purpose.
