专辑介绍
by Bruce Eder
Live in Europe was the first full-length concert album released on Otis Redding, and the last LP of his work that he lived to see issued. Recorded along the Stax/Volt tour of Europe in March of 1967, it featured Redding backed by Booker T. & the MG's. Their playing, along with that of Wayne Jackson (trumpet) and Andrew Love and Joe Arnold (tenor saxes), is more elegant and elegantly articulated than the work of his usual touring band, and this album is a sort of idealized Otis Redding concert. Some of it lacks the raw excitement of Live at the Whisky a Go Go (which was recorded a year earlier than the shows where this album was cut, but not issued until a year later), but in compensation one gets all of the virtuoso flourishes and details that one would expect from this ensemble. The audience, ecstatic at the rare chance to see the soul idol in concert, is very vocal in their enthusiasm for the singer and his songs, and &Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)& is practically a singalong number with some finely detailed playing from Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, and Al Jackson, Jr., who, with Wayne Jackson and company, also add some exquisite grace notes to the finale, &Try a Little Tenderness.& Beyond the musical power of his performance, Redding's emotions are practically overflowing as he addresses the crowd in a very personal manner as he introduces &These Arms of Mine.& The only flaw in this recording, if there is one, is that it does have only ten songs, but that was the nature of the shows on this tour.

- @拉风人：no.474
- @黄色潜水艇(微笑，挥手，再见。)：Otis Redding带着他热情的Soul歌曲震撼了昏昏欲睡的欧洲听众，可惜的是他短暂的生命使他没能进一步扩大这种影响，这张专辑也成为他生前发行的最后一张专辑。
- @cupid：喜欢淡淡的忧伤，缓慢的流淌，积蓄着爆发，悄悄共鸣，绽放出生命的激情
