Live In L.A.

Rippingtons
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Live In L.A. was recorded live over two evenings in California in September of 1992 - during the heyday of the Rippingtons 'electric era'. Guitarist Russ Freeman was not shy about bringing his electric guitar through virtually every tune, a hallmark of the bands earlier work, and sorely missed in their late '90s releases. A listen to the solos on "Indian Summer", "Aspen", "Curves Ahead" and "Weekend In Monaco" proves that Freeman has (had?) a lot of fire in his belly - and the results are glorious. The entire production on Live In L.A. is more 'electric' - even the acoustic instruments such as the drums are heavier and have more snap and energy - one reason Live In L.A. continues to be a fan favorite. One listen to the CD and you'll feel as we do - Freeman owes us about five straight all-electric guitar CDs!
