Yes it's LIVE! That's what makes it different...

"Despite what "A music fan from NH" may say, this is not a bad album if you are a fan of AFOS. All these songs are already available on their previous recordings. Check the Track Listings. If you never had the opportunity to listen to this Big 80's band live, here is your chance. It does sound like a "bootleg" where the microphone was taped to an audience member's lapel. Its not going to win any audiophile awards, but that's the appeal of this CD and for the price, I think its a bargain!"

Great live album

"You get a great sense of what a Flock show was like at their pinnacle. The production isn't the greatest since it's live, but it's for you if you're really part of the Flock!"

Better than the reviews here give it credit for...

"Yes, this is a live album, and it's true that the CD does not mention this one bit, however, any serious fan of AFOS will want this. The sound quality is nowhere near perfect, but even with this flaw, this recording showcases a band on the verge of greatness. Given the song choices and the way the songs sound, I would suspect this is a very early recording - you can hear how much tighter and better the band was about to be. Some of the songs sound as if the band is about to explode at any moment, and I loved that! Not perfect, but great especially for the price, and maybe the only place to hear the early b-side "Pick Me Up" on CD."
