"This is yet another a re-packaging of their excellent King Biscuit Flower Hour Live CD with only 10 tracks instead of the original 14. If you have the King Biscuit CD, pass. If not and the price is right, this is a pretty good CD. King Biscuit is getting plenty of mileage out of that original 1982 concert where these performances were recorded."

Good but over produced

"This was their first album as a duo and it is not bad, but I thought it was over produced by George Martin. It was America's first commercial flop, failing to crack the Billboard Top 100 Albums chart in 1978 despite including live recordings of many songs that had been big hits just a few years ealier. I think they would have been better off without the backing orchestra and tried for a more "classic rock" style performance which was more typical of their live shows.



This import release is kind of expensive and you should be able to find other editions that cost less."
