If you are a fan of Clapton or Winwood, this is a must have CD.  One of the best live recordings I have heard with the bonus of having great performances by these two legends of Rock and Roll.  If you liked Blind Faith, you will love this CD.

This is probably the recorded live CD I ever heard. Most of the live CD recordings I have heard distracts from the music. This doesn't !  In fact  the audience only adds to the experience but does not take away from the  music. Not a filler on this CD.

Paul Butterfield was one of the greats-- in studio and live. This is a terrific recording by the band that featured a great horn section. Great stuff.

If you are a Decemberist fan you MUST have this recording. This Band just keeps on getting better and they are great in concert. I was lucky enough to have been at the Jacksonville, Oregon (Britt Festival) concert that is part of this 2011 Live Tour Recording. They don't tour that often and I went all the way from the SF Bay Area to the Ashland/Jacksonville area to see them. I think that says something about how I feel about the value of seeing them live. The Band members clown around and have good raport with the audience especially when they are in Oregon. Being from the Portland area and all. Love the Vinyl and got a great deal on Amazon when I pre-ordered it because the price dropped and they refunded me the difference. Kudos to Amazon. My only complaint is that I think for this price it should include an MP3 download as well. I made that opinion known to the staff that works on their website/store. If you like the band and don't own many of their recordings this album gives a nice cross section of their music. Might have liked to hear "Row Jimmy" on this because it's a Grateful Dead cover which they do really well on "Long Live the KIng" . Live Long and Prosper - a Spock/Star Trek reference

I have seen RJD perform 4x live and he was excellent.  These two live dvd's are REALLY live and you can tell that he was into the shows as was the rest of the band and the crowd.  The setlists are very very good and RJD and the band sound awesome.  These are real live shows and you can tell - its what a live recording should be.  Two thumbs up.

I have not heard anything from this era of Floyd since the 80's with various bootleg recordings.  The sound quality is superb considering that they are originally analog recordings of 20 years of age.  The performance  is excellent with guitarist David Glimour leading the charge (Roger does  most of vocals and seldom plays bass.)  As with the studio recording, when  its good, its incredible (confortably numb, Another Brick in the Wall, Hey  You, Run Like Hell etc,) and when its bad, its mind numbing.  It's  certainly not the caliber of Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Meddle and  Animals but its certainly better than the studio version. What people tend  to forget, is that pink Floyd was a great live band from the very begining  and that Roger got burned out from touring (just read the liner notes of  the limited edition) and infect they became a studio band.  It is a  definite must have for anyone who has the studio album.

I bought this CD several years ago and managed to misplace one of the discs. It had been unavailable for a while and when it was reissued, I had to jump on it. The music has been remastered and a bonus track added. The musicians and production are top drawer...every track is a masterpiece. One of the best live CD's I'v ever heard.

On my first listen, playing it as background music, I was mostly pleased to hear some of their classics reinterpreted with Leire and alternate arrangements... Since then I've been hooked on it tho, I have no idea who most of the duos are sung with (well I know their names since they're called out but I don't recognize them) but they're truly excellent. It sounds better than a lot of other live albums I own too, very well recorded.

If you're a LOVG fan you won't be put off at all in getting this even if you already own all the tracks in their original iterations. Well worth it even without taking the concert DVD into account.

As a huge fan of Seether, this was a must have live album. The raw, acoustic versions of their normally rocking, heart pounding material gave me the opportunity to appreciate the musicianship of this great band. If you like, love or are just getting into Seether...you will not be disappointed by this live recording. I highly recommend it and it has quickly become my favorite album to listen to.

As soon as I discovered this recording existed, I had to have it.  It certainly did not disappoint!  The recording is very good, and the band's performance is off the scale.  The recording was made from a Swedish broadcast.  Many bands did not live up to their recorded legacy, but the Prunes exceeded my expectations!  They were a real band, a tight band, and could reproduce the effects from the studio recording in a live setting.  Their album tracks performed here were better than the original recordings.  The album pressing that I got was pristine and a bargain, considering what the out-of-print CD version sells for today.  If you love sixties psychedelia, you should check this one out!

I wouldnt have thought it was recorded live; This until the applause at the end - So clear. These days were used to hearing drums with most music; This version has very well defined percussion throughout.

Just want to add to the other reviews. This was recorded 40 years ago but puts many other live recordings to shame in terms of quality. All instruments are well recorded but this is not an overly polished live recording. Rough and raw around the edges but again, especially for the time, this sounds great. The band and crowd are very much into the performance. This is very close to their "Live in Concert" release in terms of performance and many of the songs are the same. However, if you look at track length you'll see that the band has changed things up - I hear different intros, jamming/improvisation and outros so this is not a rehash by any means. Call it what you want but this motown/psychedelic sound I'm sure provided inspiration to today's jam bands along with bands like Little Feat and Humble Pie (check out the Rockin' the Fillmore box for proof of this band's stage credibility). This cd is an excellent live release and highly recommended.

Remember Cream, Hendrix, The Who?  All these bands could play any song at any time for 10 minutes... Remember when live music was really live music?  Music that did not always sound just like the record?  Well, here you go.  Mark Knopfler is a true genius.  This live document is a real band effort.  He lets all show their skills.  Although when it comes right down to it, MK plays lots of great strat out of phase leads to keep you happy.  Give it a listen.  It might just make you a better guitar player.

I really enjoyed the live performances. They add a new to dimension to the studio recordings I've enjoyed for years.

One of the best performed and recorded live concerts in my extensive C.D. collection, featuring Hugh Marsh (electric violin) and Ferguson Jemison Marsh (Chapman stick/bass) along with some great drumming.  Fantastic songs, and xceptionally rendered by some great musicians.  My favorite Steve Bell album and one of my most listened to albums.  Do not hesitate - track down a copy while you can.  Either C.D. or dvd version

This superb, live 1969 recording has such indomitable spirit and steady musicianship, I wonder why Sony took 33 years to release it. The program is a slice of history and the record of a musical occasion we may never see the likes of again. There are 26 songs here (30 if you count all the tunes in the final medley) and I couldn't find a bad one in the bunch. "Big River" is a stunning opener, and this particular rendition is one of the best I've heard.  Cash's anecdotes of prison life, his visits to the Holy Land and memories of the combat zone during the height of the Vietnam War dovetail with powerful versions of "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream," "The Ballad of Ira Hayes," and "Were You There When They Crucified my Lord."  The upbeat songs are stunning too, from Carl Perkin's rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes," to a raucous performance of "A Boy Named Sue."  The guest performances are all worthwhile, from The Statler Brother's nostalgic "Flowers on the Wall" to Maybelle Carter's take on "Wildwood Flower."  While her vocals lag a half-beat behind the musicians, it adds even more poignance to the song. This is country, gospel and bluegrass of the first order performed by musical legends. The recording is clean and balanced for its era with a decent stereo soundstage to boot. The only negative is that once you hear it, you may hunger for the past, and that may hurt a little. But I'd rather hurt knowing that December 5, 1969 happened, and that someone had the good sense to archive this extraordinary event. One of my all-time top-100.

A wonderful recording that captures the dynamism of McLaughlin's 4th Dimension band. The live recording conveys the living power one experiences at concerts that cannot be captured in even the best of studio recordings.
