"This abum comes higly recommended! Even at their worst the Jefferson Airplane were better than just about any one else. This album, one of three live releases, falls in the middle and is better than 30 Seconds but not quite as good as the Fillmore East. Some people say that this album is a bit flat but I think it's more because of the recoring quality and not because of any lacking on their part. I'm not always in the mood to hear Bear Melt or Rock Me Baby, which are great by the way, but require a little more listener attention to appreciate than the other more accessable songs. I saw the Airplane 18 times beginning with the original band up to the 1989 reunion and with one exception (their performance at the Sacramento Pop Festival stunk) they were never less than staggering. All this rambling leads up to one thing: BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!! You'll thank yourself."

One Of The Airplane's Best

"This is a great live CD. Simply great. It is in a class with Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal and the Who's Live At Leeds, both real gems. The Airplane was pretty uneven on stage, but every song on this CD works well. They play with exceptional passion and ability. The vocals are strong and the guitar work is fluid and elegant. In particular, Jack Casady's bass never sounded more powerful or better. He really drives the band through their classic numbers and listening to his bass runs alone are worth the price of the CD. If you like the Airplane in particular, or 60's San Francisco bands in general, this is a CD that you will listen to often."
