Average White Band - Person to Person

Review from allmusic.com
by Bill Meredith

Scotland's Average White Band was in a celebratory mood on its third major-
label release, the live double-album Person to Person. Following the crossover
success of the band's self-titled debut and subsequent Cut the Cake, Person
to Person presented the six-piece R&B/funk act stretching out on most of its
hits. Lead vocalists Alan Gorrie and Hamish Stuart switch between guitar and
bass chores throughout, and drive the opening title track and "Cut the Cake."
The ballads "If I Ever Lose This Heaven" and "Cloudy" provide nice changes of
pace; rhythm guitarist Onnie McIntyre and drummer Steve Ferrone shine on
lesser-known gems like "I'm the One" and "Love Your Life." But the real prize
of this collection is an 18-minute version of the Average White Band's biggest
hit, the instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces." After the expected solos from the
studio version by saxophonists Roger Ball and Malcolm "Molly" Duncan,
McIntyre, Stuart, Gorrie, and Ferrone take extended leads in this masterpiece
of editing -- the track actually features different versions from four concert
halls, all spliced together so that each musician could have the solo of his
choice represented. A few walk-through versions ("T.L.C.," "School Boy
Crush," and the Marvin Gaye hit "Heard It Through the Grapevine") away
from being a classic, Person to Person still shows what a great live act this
underrated band was in its heyday.
