"With this recording, Banco have made what I believe is one of the very best live progressive recordings (from 1975, during the peak of their powers) I have ever heard! This record is just stupendous! I find myself lacking in superlatives in my enthusiasm for the majestic performance of this recording! The recording and production are excellent; the selection of material is drawn from the first three albums ensuring the excellence of the compositions; that a band can perform material this complex, and perform it with a higher degree of sophistication and elaboration with such inhuman synchronization, and deliver such an energized performance expressing such a high degree of passion and crescendo and energy; and develop and elaborate with the highest degree of sophistication the fundamentals of great music: melody, harmony, rhythm, and an overwhelming spiritual connection to our emotional and human experience. Francesco Di Giacoma should be considered as one of the finest tenor voices in rock music. Beautiful, exciting, complex, elaborate, intense, overwhelmingly melodic, dynamic, simply the most pleasurable musical experience I can imagine!"
