The ONLY LIVE PPL in print on CD...Get it afore it's gone...

"People, listen...why is it that America has to rely on import CD's in order for us to procure the original albums? In an abominable amount of cases, this is all too true. When they're sadly outta print in either domestic or imported pressings, the collectors charge exhorbitant amounts of $$ for a used copy! Okay, it's fair, but then again, it ain't. We're screwed either way.



For this reason, you oughta grab on to this CD. The sound quality is as all the EXTENDED VERSIONS are, nearly board-perfect. None of the EV's, however, are in concert-chronological order, but who cares? "Live! Takin The Stage" is the obvious 1st choice, but as one reviewer put it, until RCA makes the time to re-release it, "good luck finding this album on CD" unless eBay has one...AMAZON doesn't. So, great fun, great recording, incredible harmonies pre-Vince Gill. Georg Ed Powell and company pleases the heck out of the crowd who probably paid no more than $8 a ticket 25 years or so to see the show! Here's your chance to re-live the concert you probably never attended...or maybe you did. Either way, unlike most of the EV's, this one's the ONLY live item in print in the PPL catalogue! There's much more to these guy's than Craig Fuller's "Amie." Though it's a fine cut represented here in all of it's glory, the rest of the album is just as heartfelt."
