"This is an amazing re-issue! It has unbelievable clarity and realism, projecting the listener into the intimate atmosphere of the nightclub in which most of it was recorded in a way the original vinyl could not. And Cass' stage talents really shine, her warm voice caressing the audience during the patter and sparkling in the songs. The new liner notes give a glimpse of the backstage work that went into this outstanding performance. The three bonus tracks are the icing on the cake, consisting of wonderful material that has been almost impossible to find since its original issue. One of the added songs is the studio version of "I Think A Lot About You", which makes for an interesting comparison with Cass' handling of the same song on stage as recorded for the original live album. That one and "L'Amour" show off Cass' way with a love song to perfection. By way of contrast, "Listen to the World" displays both her strong social consciousness (which was genuine) and her ability to belt a rock number -- in case anyone forgot that she could do that, too. It's a spirited and fitting close to Cass' most upbeat album. Her first RCA album, "Cass Elliot", is still her best and my favorite, but I find myself listening to this one over and over."

Go CASS GO!!!

"Everyone else who reviewed this is right on the money - she is just amazing and the sound quality just knocks me out for a recording that was done so many years ago.Cass Elliot NEVER misses a note - she is in tune more than ANYONE I have heard live. It's absolutely astonishing. Her "I'll Be Seeing You" is just to die for and the other song that was written for her "I'm Coming to the Best Part of my Life" is just unmatched. What a joy it is to hear newly released vintage songs from this great singer. I'm with the other guys - PLEASE RE-RELEASE MORE CASS ELLIOT ALBUMS ON CD!!! I'M DYING TO HAVE THEM!!!"
