The Best Live Album Ever
Review written by Tony Cecena, March 13th, 2005

It IS a LIVE album...the studio performances are brought to life with a great deal of gusto...some of which are quite a bit better than the studio versions..like "Love In Action" and "Don't You Ever Learn". Those that do not appear to be merely take another life of their own and the lp never dulls down and rocks throughout...remember...it IS LIVE and it IS GREAT.

For Todd fans mainly
Review written by John Fitzgerald, September 26th, 2004

As Todd is known best for his studio wizardry, it's hard to put this live set in perspective. We'll start though with the closer "Hello it's me" which Stevie is on, although she doesn't really stand out here and the studio version is better. The tunes that probably work best here are the most stripped down numbers like the rockers such as Utopia's "Love in action", "Black Maria" from "Something/anything" and the popular "Couldn't I just tell you". There's a medley of soul numbers like "Ooh baby baby" & Todd's hit single "I saw the light" (once again, from "Something/anything") and amusing banter from the rowdy bar crowds but unless you're a Rundgren aficionado, it rates as a pretty standard live album with not much improvement made to the original recordings if any.
