Review (5/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.0)
Review written by Anonymous from Virginia, November 28th, 2004

Boy, you get the feeling that the reviewer above feels this album is "just mediocre". Dave Mason and this album goes down in history as one of the best all time live albums. This is quintessential Dave Mason in his prime. Jim Krieger's and Daves leads are legendary. The percussion on this album is outstanding. If you don't have this album...get it! It will end up in your car as the one you have to have with you all the time!!!!

Often overlooked but essential live album from '70s. (5/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.0)
Review written by Sammy Jones from Brandon, FL, November 14th, 2004

I remember purchasing this LP in college in the late '70s when it was first released. I had no idea who Dave Mason was at the time but got it anyway based on the song titles (many covers but excellently redone). I really loved it right away but over the years I find myself returning to it over and over. I still have never heard Dave live but he is coming to Tampa this January (2005) and I will not miss this show for anything (a Monday show I'm taking a day off work to see). Looking back over my early years of music discovery, it has to be rated as one of the absolute best surprise finds of my college days. I'm keeping my turntable up to snuff just to play this stuff. Might be the best of all the numerous takes of "Feelin Alright" out there! HIGHLY recommended!!!

awsome!!!!! (5/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.0)

An interesting in concert document (4/5.04/5.04/5.04/5.04/5.0)
Review written by John Fitzgerald from Peabody, MA, USA, October 18th, 2004

This is a fun live set to listen to now to give one an indication of the size of popularity that Dave had in the 70's and which numbers were their favorites. Although the performances are rather predictably standard, there are a few surprises such as the cover of the Eagles classic "Take it to the limit" and the bluesy "Goin' down slow". "Look at you look at me" is intriguingly stretched to 12 plus minutes but it's not the guitar extravaganza fans have yearned for really as it features a lot of keyboards and doodling before the axe falls and not much longer than on previous versions. However, as a live document, it was done at an interesting juncture so included is a fair mix of Columbia, Blue thumb & pre- solo/rare/odd tracks.
