Engaging--The Trio in Concert,
By Jim Morrell (Sedro-Woolley, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Close Up - College Concert (Audio CD)
Having heard the Kingston Trio close to a dozen times in concert, I first saw/heard the Stewart configuration of the Trio in 1967. College Concert is a genuine experience of how engaging the Trio really was in concert. Laughter was almost as much a part of the experience as the music itself, as they were fabulous showmen, and College Concert is an example of the concert experience. Musically, even though John Stewart was just months into the group, the music was tight, balanced, and infectious. I have heard the "Concert" album literally hundreds of times, and it never grows old. Hearing it on CD is even better than vinyl as the sound is more accurate and lifelike. What I find really remarkable is the sound they managed to produce with but one microphone for voices AND instruments alike. This album is the real deal if you want to relive the Trio in concert, or experience them for the first time.Close-up is the first of the albums with John Stewart. As with most Trio albums, there is/are one or two songs that don't "grab me", but the vast majority of the album is another example of the Trio as masters of their style of music. They have different international flavors included among the repertoire-- again typically Trio--and their voices/harmonies/instruments are well rehearsed, finely tuned, and wonderfully exhibited here. Their version of Reuben James, arguably, might be the very best of any recording they put on record. If you had to choose one of their double album CD's to sample the Trio, this would be one of two I would recommend for starters. Should folk music be something that beckons you, the music will be engaging as promised, and you'll be wondering which CD to purchase next.

A classic,

This review is from: Close Up - College Concert (Audio CD)
"College Concert" was a major seller for the Trio. It was their second release after the departure of the immensely gifted Dave Guard and the arrival of the equally gifted John Stewart. Here, it is paired with that first Stewart-era recording. The results are mixed. The performances on "College Concert" are still superb, though the humor and banter now seem dated and unnecessary. The "Close up" recording is really, really good early 60s folk music, but often remind me how much Dave Guard's contribution was missed. All in all, though, it is a worthwhile purchase for the KT fan.

John Stewart's debut KT Albums,
By A Customer
This review is from: Close Up - College Concert (Audio CD)
No question "Live from the Hungry i" is a superb album. You'll be amazed to find however, that the College Concert is every bit it's equal. Plenty of humor, great songs and better sound than the Hungry i, it is a solid album all the way through. "Close Up", is I believe, John Stewart debut album with the trio. They didn't miss a step in replacing Dave Guard. The KT sound with Stewart is different than with Guard, but no less satisfying. They write a lot of their own material on this one and the songs are well executed. You'll enjoy having this in your collection. Also, you can't beat getting two albums for the price of one!!
