Production Bogs Down the Master

"If you're a die-hard SRV fan of course you have to have this and all existing SRV music, because let's face it, the hunger for more SRV recordings never goes away, but personally I don't find this to be one of his best. To me, the production is very bass-bottom-heavy. The guitar has too much whammy in it. And that Hammond organ in the foreground drives me crazy. These elements combine to make the sound of the tracks too much the same, despite his stellar performance. But live performances are like fine wines, each has its own character and some you like more, some less."

A Good Time Capsule...

"A moment in time of a great artist,but the sound is not as good as other SRV live recordings."

Any SRV album...

"Any SRV concert is worth getting. If this is the same show as the video, it is great.

Btw, whoever wrote the Editorial Review for this is incorrect. Stevie

was still having problems with addictions in 1985 but you couldn't tell

it by listening to his music. He was an outstanding guitarist.
