"This is a great album. 4 stars because I admit that you have to like this kind of situation to appreciate really the intensity of the music. Maybe (like myself) you have to be a musician yourself to fully appreciate what's going on in this record! I hate to read review like the one entitled Pointless, regarding this album. Nirvana? My god, how many records and musicians have you listen to California guy? Two? Three? Nirvana? C'mon, I don't have enough words to describe their level.... maybe only two left, pure garbage! Anyway, this is a fantastic album full of pure energy, technique, passion. Sure it's not the right theme for your perfect date, or for a suicide (you already have nirvana for that purpose). It's a great jazz album with modern ('80's sounds). Don't let prejudice confuse you. If Coltrane played this things people around the world were still adoring this recording. Listen freely, without prejudice, this great Frank effort, and enjoy!!"
AWESOME LICKS!

"This is one of Frank's MANY great albums! This music is obviously intended for the true FUSION fan! Brilliant performance by all players involved! The sound quality is FIRST rate! I thought it was a studio recording for a moment! This aint' no "rock" album, and is not intended for fans of low talent, no brainer, 3 chord rock..THESE ARE THE BIG BOYS!"
The first good album of Frank ...

"LIVE! was the first album of Frank Gambale I bought. And when I listened to it, I was terrified! First we must remember this is a live album, so there's no cheating. All instruments are played 100% naturally... And Frank has played songs from 'Brave New Guitar' and 'A Present For The Future'. These albums are not especially great, but the transformation on the scene is simply incredible. Frank Gambale sweeping technique is the best I know, and everyone must thank him for his contribution to the world of guitar. Monster licks are possible easier now, and this live album prooves it. No studio, no cheating. Only great technique and... passion."
