Customer Reviews

5 Stars for what this CD set is!
This is a CD set of two complete live concerts. The first is as noted "Our Men in San Francisco, live from the hungry I and the second is the "London Concert". I gave this set 5 stars because unlike some other "Classic Collection Set" out in the market this set is two of the Limeliters first albums complete just as they were recorded in the early 1960's. If you collect old Limeliters' albums and want to hear two of their best perfomances without the pops and snaps of old vinyl this set is for you!!!

Two Great Live Folk Concerts On One CD!
Folk music is always at its best when performed live, and this CD from the fabulous Limeliters gives the listener not one but two live folk concerts. The first was in San Francisco, the other in London. The appeal of the same kind of music to audiences on opposite sides of the world (and their often culturally unique responses) is what makes this CD so significant, interesting, and definitely entertaining.

Some of my favorite songs, like "The Jam on Jerry's Rock", are here. Glenn Yarborough's "I'm Goin' Back" impressively presages his later solo career. And the international stuff ("Kerakina" and "The Lute Player") is brilliant. (Be careful, though-- the only flaw in this CD is how they've divided up the cuts, if you are skipping around from one song to another... the delightful intro to "Kerakina" is unfortunately left as the last part of the previous song). The reaction of the very British audience to "Hey Li Lee Li Lee Lo" is worth hearing by itself.

Remember, while the Limeliters are still performing wonderfully and successfully, this original version of the group can only still be heard on recordings like this one. Don't miss it!

One fine album!
Like the other reviewers, I too grew up listening to my parent's Limeliters collection. Our Men in San Francisco has got to be my all time favorite. One super collection of songs, performed live at San Frans legendary Hungry I nightclub. This will certainly bring back the memories of this highly talented trio, and for those of you who have never heard these guys, I hope this will be the begining of a long love affair with the incomparable Limeliters. So jazzed to see this out on Compact Disk! Enjoy it.
