Comments:

An excellent audience recording, marred only an odd clicking sound between tracks from someone seated nearby and some conversation before "Long Honeymoon." Acoustics and miking must have been perfect--all instruments can be heard and EC is rarely drowned out by the band. You can even hear EC counting a song's intro off-mike. The EC songs are good, especially "Long Honeymoon," but "Detectives" does not work at all. The Mingus songs are hit-and-miss--always challenging, but sometimes there probably shouldn't have been a vocal. Overall, a rewarding CD, even if it's not EC's finest hour. Worth the price if just to finally hear the Joni Mitchell cover! - Todd Rosenstock
