Rick Nelson was one of the very biggest of the '50s teen idols, so it took awhile for him to attain the same level of critical respectability as other early rock greats. Yet now the consensus is that he made some of the finest pop/rock recordings of his era. Rockin' At The Universal was the concert album that Rick Nelson fans probably know best, issued by Silver Eagle Records in 1986 in the wake of Nelson's sudden, tragic death and heavily promoted as an LP. Nelson was still near the top of his game when he played this date at Hollywood's Universal Amphitheater  his band might not have had figures in it as recognizable as the members of the Stone Canyon Band from the dawn of the 1970s later became, but they were never less than first-rate. This is a well recorded and performed show, with a song selection that covers most of Nelson's career. Fans and casual listeners will love it, just 60 minutes of enjoyable music. Includes a bonus duet with the great Fats Domino
