Recorded at Brian Quincy-Newcomb\u2019s Christ Church back in 1999, this album was an answer to their highly acclaimed \u2018live\u2019 album \u201c88\u201d from ten years prior. This is a great compliment to the 77\u2019s catalog. This band has always been great to see live, they have the skills that compliment the personas and always please the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>This record is the enduring line up of Mike Roe, Bruce Spencer, Mark Harmon and they added Scott Reams for some additional help on guitar, keyboards and percussion. \u201c99\u201d has eight tracks coming in somewhere around 45 minutes, which is short for a 77\u2019s show, but I guess they pulled the best tracks from this concert and put them to disc. Drawing different songs from their catalog, tracks here include favorites from the \u2019Tom Tom Blues\u2019, \u2019Drowning With Land In Sight\u2019 and their \u2019EP\u2019 albums, as well as Roe\u2019s second solo offering \u2019The Boat Ashore\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c99\u201d is the full band, fully plugged in and doing what they do best with the blues\/rock vibe that they have become known for. If you don\u2019t have this album, you should get it. If you do have it already, buy another one and give it away. The 77\u2019s are one band that is known for allowing fans to tape and record their shows, and this album was on the trading circuits before it was ever packaged and released, so but an extra as a way of supporting this band and saying thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE 77s NINETY-NINE 2007 Lo-Fidelity Records Purchase: 77s.com Review by: Steve Ruff This is the latest \u2018live\u2019 release by the 77\u2019s.
