This isn't just of interest to soul completists. Good live mid-'60s soul records, in decent fidelity, are fairly rare items. This is genuinely galvanizing stuff, with a rawer, more party-oriented feel than the classic Stax studio sides of the same era. Especially good are Booker T. \u0026amp; the MGs, who really burn throgh classics like \"Green Onions\" and \"Soul Twist,\" and Rufus Thomas, who clowns his way through a nine-minute version of \"Do the Dog.\" ~ Richie Unterberger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49334146826527,"sku":"029667064026","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/af5c823f9f69410b6a7a51eafea21d64.jpg?v=1777981195","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/stax-revue-live-at-the-5-4-ballroom","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
