"This concert was recoded 02/03/2006 at the House of Blues in Los Angeles (look out for the DVD coming soon).
Quik is on the stage with a live band of 12 elements, really talented dudes, expecially Robert "Fonksta" Bacon that on "Medley For A V" shines, in a real way!
If you like real Hip Hop, P-Funk at its finest, real music with instruments, you gotta buy this record.
The sound is perfect, it's like being there.
PS: DJ Quik dedicates the song "Safe + Sound" to the memory of 2Pac, which used to listen to it when he was in jail.

A truly "musical" rapper - he's a legend

"Quik is one of the most underrated rappers out today. His beats are always well arranged and can actually be played by a band. Quik is a real musician. This album contains all his classics, with the exception of "You'z A Ganxta" played live with a 12 piece band. His set at the House of Blues in LA was unforgettable and this album commemorates it! Don't stop what you're doing Quik - the fans love you and highly appreciate your work!"

"Quik is one of the west coast musically talented and genius minds that helped put the west on the map . I'm a Quik fan since day one back in 1991 . This CD is like a ride down memory lane. with classic hits from the veteran himself. I strongly recommend it to all west coast and true DJ Quik Fans .
A true classic"

"i enjoyed this album. it's a hit&miss situation when i think of DJ Quik: on one hand he is a very slept Musical Producer/artist who has for the most part of his career rode shotgun in Dr.Dre''s shadow. on other hand he never really expanded his musical plate&got lumped as a certain type of artist&whatnot. folks on the real know there is more to Quik,but he hasn't always expanded his talents. this is the best step forward he has made in quite a while.a live band really hits the spot. the drumming, horns&the Guitar of Robert "Fonksta" Bacon is on point. someof the rapping&parts are hit&miss&i feel that the set could have dropped 4-5 cuts,but this is a really good collection. i do wonder at this stage of Quik's career if he has anything new left? because when you drop a Greatest Hits live set after just releasing a new album without much fanfare you gotta wonder if a Audeince is still gonna give this Man his duethe big question does he still have that drive in him? this collection is the best thing he has released since the 90's started,but what does it mean in the bigger picture??"
