Gerry & the Pacemakers Ferry Across the Mersey Release Date: 1981 Rating:

This is a nine-song concert recording by Gerry & the Pacemakers, apparently from 1981, as the reference to John Lennon being killed "last year," and the inclusion of Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock & Roll to Me" reveal. Gerry and the boys have a particular affection for Joel, also covering his "Just the Way You Are." (And why not? Gerry sings in Joel's key.) Among the other super hits included are "Unchained Melody" and "Imagine," and, oh yes, a couple of hits actually by the group performing them, Ferry Across the Mersey"and How Do You Do It." The performances are characteristically chipper, but only die-hard fans are likely to be interested in this show. (This album contains the same concert as the one featured on an album called Super Hits Live! but the sound quality is superior here and there are more stage remarks.)
