Peter Frampton, who literally made his guitar sing via a talk box, has alwa=
ys best expressed himself with his instrument rather than his voice. That t=
hinking fuels Frampton Forgets the Words, an album of instrumental covers o=
f songs by artists who&apos;ve inspired Frampton over the course of his car=
eer. The album&apos;s highlight is a rendition of George Harrison&apos;s "I=
sn&apos;t It a Pity?" and it comes with history: Harrison invited a 20-year=
-old Frampton to play acoustic guitar on his landmark 1970 solo album All T=
hings Must Pass, which includes "Isn&apos;t a Pity?" Fifty years later, Fra=
mpton brings new emotional weight to one of the late Beatle&apos;s greatest=
 compositions. - Rapp

The box set marking the 50th anniversary of George Harrison&apos;s landmark=
 1970 solo album All Things Must Pass chronicles the making of the record o=
ver six discs and more than 40 previously unreleased demos and outtakes. Ha=
rrison spent two consecutive days laying down demos for the record; on the =
second, he went totally solo with just an acoustic guitar. "Cosmic Empire" =
is one of the handful of songs that never made the album, a spirit-questing=
 bit of revelry that pushes Harrison&apos;s voice into its upper register. =
Too bad we never got a full-band take on the song, but this breezy version =
is a one-man celebration. - Michael Gallucci

You could easily write off Dirty Honey as merely the sum of their very obvi=
ous influences: Zeppelin, Aerosmith, the Black Crowes, et al. But it&apos;s=
 much more fun to hang up your critic&apos;s hat and lose yourself in the q=
uartet&apos;s soaring hooks and killer chops, both of which are on full dis=
play in "California Dreamin&apos;," the lead track off the band&apos;s self=
-titled debut album. Singer Marc LaBelle unleashes raspy, skyscraping vocal=
 runs over guitarist John Notto&apos;s slinky riffs, while bassist Justin S=
molian and drummer Corey Coverstone anchor the track with their meat-and-po=
tatoes grooves. "It&apos;s so easy," LaBelle howls in the pre-choruses, but=
 he&apos;s being modest: It takes years of practice to rock as effortlessly=
 as Dirty Honey. - Rolli

But unlike most rock bands who divided pop history between before and after=
, Nirvana's impact was not immediate. Upon its release, Bleach was a modest=
 indie rock success at 40,000 copies sold, and the album's low-budget legen=
d-- it was recorded for a scant $600, footed by the band's temporary second=
 guitarist, Jason Everman-- often overshadows the music within. At that poi=
nt, Nirvana had yet to divest itself of its Pete Best: drummer Chad Channin=
g, whose scrappy style wasn't fully suited to the band's growing propensity=
 for crater-inducing stompers. (Three Bleach tracks-- "Floyd the Barber", "=
Paper Cuts", and "Downer"-- were actually helmed by Melvins thud-master Dal=
e Crover, and you can really tell.) And the album's first single-- a cover =
of 1960s Dutch-popsters Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz"-- is more emblematic of=
 the dementoid new wave that Nirvana would indulge in on their future B-sid=
es than the metallic Pixies-punk that would turn them into stars.

Cobain's newly acquired, generational spokesmen duties didn't make him any =
more fond of engaging the audience with stage banter, ceding emcee duties t=
o the jovial Novoselic during guitar changes. And even when playing to the =
biggest audience of their career, Nirvana blast through the 25-song setlist=
 with a barrel-down, no-bullshit intensity that suggests it didn't matter i=
f they were playing to 100 people or 100,000. And most pertinently, both co=
ncerts capture the band at crucial, between-album turning points: where the=
 Pine Street Theater set shows a band burnishing its pop appeal, Live at Re=
ading betrays Cobain's eagerness to tear it down, dispensing with the obvio=
us Nevermind hits by the mid-set point, while reserving the encores for see=
thing covers of 80s California punks Fang's suitably sardonic "The Money Wi=
ll Roll Right In" and the Wipers' "D-7". In retrospect, the concert crystal=
lizes the moment when Cobain stopped serving his servants and started servi=
ng himself, pointing the way to 1993's notoriously caustic In Utero.

Given its long-standing popularity as a bootleg, you can't help but wonder =
why Live at Reading wasn't officially released back in the mid-90s instead =
of the live compilation From the Muddy Banks of Wishkah; certainly, Reading=
 makes for a more appropriate, electrified complement to the band's other c=
areer-defining performance, 1994's Unplugged in New York release. And for t=
he sake of squeezing the entire set (save for "Love Buzz") on a single disc=
, the Reading CD excises pretty much all of the DVD's between-song interact=
ions (most notably, the goof on Boston's "More Than a Feeling" that precede=
s the similarly riffed "Smells Like Teen Spirit") and key contextual interl=
udes that reveal the tumult leading up to this triumphant performance (e.g.=
, a heartfelt plea from Cobain to have the crowd shout a conciliatory "We l=
ove you Courtney" in the wake of her receiving the Yoko treatment from the =
British tabloids). But the CD's career-spanning tracklist-- touching on the=
 best of Bleach, most of Nevermind, choice singles and B-sides ("Sliver", "=
Aneurysm"), three In Utero previews ("Tourette's", "Dumb", "All Apologies")=
, and the aforementioned covers-- actually makes it a far superior, more co=
mprehensive introduction for Nirvana newbies than the band's 2002 greatest-=
hits compilation. Like the Who's Live at Leeds or Cheap Trick's At Budokan,=
 it's an indispensible document of a legendary band at their most invincibl=
e.

It really showcases how broad the bands songwriting abilities were, and how=
 easily they could mix styles, and have one song played so simply then the =
next so complex, without compromising their integrity. But what makes the a=
lbum so special is that the songs are so full of life and played with such =
a real joyous energy. You can hear the smiles portrayed on the cover photos=
. You can hear the fun they are having, even on the darker tracks like mass=
acre or suicide, where the guitars are working together to get their lines =
in perfect synch.



Carl Black: Classic collection of songs, never realised I knew so many Lizz=
y songs. Only thing stopping it getting full marks, I like my live albums a=
 bit more raw. The odd cock up here and there, an isolated shout from a dru=
nk crowd member, that sort of thing. This is very slick, maybe to slick a r=
ecording. But an amazing album. Might listen to it again on a minute.
