Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.1/100, a mean average of 81.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Gigante demais!
favorite live album.
oldies. a few goodies
It's impossible not to feel good either during or after listening to this album. Sam Cooke has one of my favorite singing voices and the album puts it front and center in a live environment. Different than a lot of live albums as this could have been recorded in the studio and sounded almost exactly the same. Put this on when you're having a bad day, you'll thank me.
IT AIN’T THAT LEUKEMIA
Awesome stuff
Raw, no frills, plenty thrills. This is how you present a live record. No added bullshit like overdubs or even worse, added crowd noise. Of course it helps that the music is incredible and Cooke gives you goosebumps. Life affirming stuff. The only down is its taken me so long to listen to this. My dad had a wonderful compilation tape of all the wonderfull 50s and early 60s 45s that his mate made and I loved the Cooke stuff on there. It snapped though. I think he needs to hear this.
High energy, high quality.
When I listen to this, everything is right in the world.
I'm no expert on soul music but my initial impression after listening to this a couple of times is that this is possibly the most powerful soul singing I've ever heard. It brings that gospel fervour to secular music and is so full of unbridled emotion it's incredible. I love the fact you can hear the crowd and it sounds like a pretty small club. The band are nailing it too. What an incredible gig!
