CD Reviews

Don't waste your time
W. McDougall | Wisconsin | 08/14/2007
(1 out of 5 stars)

"This was by far the worst live album I have ever heard. The vocals are off key and forced, the brass accompaniment is tinny and raspy at best not to mention downright annoying and the second disc is more of the same butchered tracks albeit from a different live venue. Not even Rick's brilliance on keyboard can save this one! Don't waste your time or money, save it for the studio albums."
