Comments

Quality

  • Good to very good. A little wobbly on the high end, either a heavily duped soundboard or very good audience recording. My ears adjusted quickly to the sound quality. The show strikes me as particularly bland, especially as more band members join in. It turns more and more into the jam session it is (and I don't mean that in a good way!), and after a while EC isn't even running the mic as various unknown voices take over the vocals and stage patter. Good between song chat from EC, particularly during God's Comic. "C.C. Rider" couldn't sound more lifeless. However, if you like The Grateful Dead kind of airy shuffle then this may appeal more to you than it did me. - Bruce White
  • I love this disc, EC is funny, chatty & charming. Has a feeling of trotting out old favourites & trying out new material in front of a friendly, but discerning crowd. The last 2 tracks are pointless jams, but the acoustic part is cool & loose-limbed (great version of Radio Sweetheart). - Eddie Gorodetsky
  • A little tape hiss during the 10 acoustic numbers. Maybe not essential, but get it for the solo tracks. - Dean Martucci
