Great band, great time, funny manager

"This live album doesn't have great sound, but so what. The version of "She Lives in a Time of Her Own," my fave 13FE tune, is excellent, and very "live" sounding. Also, it's priceless to hear their manager (I assume it's their manager, or agent, or some sort of promotional record person) scream "LEVITATION! LEVITATION! LEVITATION!" as they begin said song. They really knew how to make squares and used-car salesmen back then... You can just SEE this guy (I imagine him looking like John Goodman wearing a "Used Cars" Kurt Russell plaid sports jacket) jumping around on stage thinking that he's hip, or something ("Yeahh! Energy, THAT'S what these crazy kids are into! Just a lot of yelling and Beatles-screaming! I got 'em pegged!") Hilarious. And the album's worth the price. I WOULDN'T MISLEAD YA, KIDS! LEVITATION! LEV-I-TA-TION!"
