AMG Review of Live from Tokyo
William Ruhlmann
All Music GuideThe second edition of The Flying Burrito Brothers, launched by "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow in 1975, turned out to have as many personnel shifts as the first edition put together by Gram Parsons in 1968. This lineup played familiar Burrito songs such as "Hot Burrito #2" and "Colorado," as well as a selection of honky-tonk country standards. Far from the greatest of Burrito Brothers bands, this one nevertheless was superior to later versions, and the music was efficiently played before an enthusiastic audience. As the group's live albums go, however, the one to get is still Last of the Red Hot Burritos. (Live from Tokyo was reissued by Relix Records in 1991 under the title Close Encounters to the West Coast.)
