Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075596059220 Format: Live Label: Elektra / Wea Manufacturer: Elektra / Wea MPN: 60592 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Elektra / Wea Release Date: October 21, 1997 Studio: Elektra / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com: In addition to raising public consciousness about the dangers of nuclear power, the 1979 series of star-studded anti-nuclear concerts at Madison Square Garden were a significant event both musically and historically. The shows were immortalized in a feature film and on this 2 CD set. Among those featured on the album are such '70s soft-rock icons as Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Carly Simon, the Doobie Brothers, and Crosby, Stills and Nash, along with Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Ry Cooder, and Gil Scott-Heron for a token dose of grit. Inevitably, Springsteen's "Devil with the Blue Dress Medley" steals the show, but otherwise No Nukes doubles as both a handy '70s-rock sampler and a historical keepsake. --Scott Schinder Average Rating:
 Rating:  - triviajohnPretty boring stuff, except for the Springsteen track, which saves the day. Most of the artist featured on this album have concert albums that are far superior to the material found on this album. If you believe in the cause, are looking at this album as a historical document, or dig Springsteen's version of the Ryder medley, buy this album. If not, save your money. Rating:  - NO NUKESThank you, I got my item on time & I love it, it brought back many memories!!!! Rating: - Words to live by todayGiven the state of the Earth today, the sentiments of many of these songs are still current. This is an amazing collection of artists and songs - no matter how old you are! Rating:  - I really wanted to rate it higherI really liked this when it came ut on vinyl, but in retrospect, it was the cause, not the music. B. Raitt is grand, G Nash with an excellant Cathedral, J C Young, and the highlight to me We Almost Lost Detroit by the great Gil Scott-Heron. But the second disc is second rate. Edit the filler and it rates higher. Rating: - Heartwarming thoughts of childhoodAs a child of the 70's who grew up in a very "no nukes" home this album was on the turn table every night. What a great find for me all these years later as I start my own family. "Power" is one of the nicest, smoothest, most heartwarming songs every performed. The geniune love, care and respect these artists had for each other and mostly the earth and it's future generations pours through on every note. |
