It's Good To Be Live

[Machine Translation] Pablo Cruz, the legendary surf rock band from the West Coast in the 1970s. With big hits such as "Whatcha Gonna Do?" (#6 in the U.S. in 1977) and "Love Will Find A Way" (#6 in the U.S. in 1978), the band has reunited! In addition to the original members David Jenkins (g/vo), Bobby Lelios (key/vo), and Steve Price (ds), Larry Antonino (b), known for his work with Jeff Beck, joined the band. This CD is a live performance of their greatest hits recorded in their hometown of California after the reunion. The band performs not only their hit songs but also "Zero to Sixty in Five," the theme song for the surfing movie "Free Ride," which made them famous among surfers. The relaxed yet moderately tense atmosphere of the band's performance and chorus is even better than in the 70's. The band's talented bassist, Larry, is also a member of the band. The band's talented bassist, Larry Antonino, plays an important role in revitalizing the band. Two newly recorded studio tracks are also included. Includes commentary, lyrics, and bilingual translation.

70年代ウェストコースト・伝説のサーフ・ロック・バンド、パブロ・クルーズ。「Whatcha Gonna Do?」(1977年・全米6位)、「Love Will Find A Way」(1978年・全米6位)等のビッグ・ヒットを持つ彼らが再結成! オリジナル・メンバーのデヴィッド・ジェンキンス(g/vo)、ボビー・レリオス(key/vo)、スティーヴ・プライス(ds)に加え、ジェフ・ベックなどとの活動で知られるラリー・アントニーノ(b)が参加。このCDは再結成後、地元カリフォルニアで収録されたベスト・ヒット・ライヴ。ヒット曲はもちろん、サーフィン映画『FREE RIDE』のテーマ曲として、一躍サーファーたちの間で名を上げた「Zero to Sixty in Five」も演奏。リラックスしながらもほどよい緊張感があり、演奏・コーラスの仕上がりは70年代当時を上まわっている。敏腕ベーシスト、ラリー・アントニーノがバンドの活性化に一役買っている。さらにスタジオ新録曲も2曲収録。解説、歌詞・対訳付き。
