Customer Reviews

Interesting album
This is an interesting concept for a live album. The title tells it as it is, isn't a typical live album, more a sonic diary of the band on tour. What you get are "selected highlights" of songs, full songs, and pieces of conversation of the band members interacting with the audience, and with each other. The mixture is an interesting blend, though in places it is a bit frustrating, in particular the Medley on disc 1 leaves me wanting to hear the full songs as the pieces fade in and out.
Overall, the band is fantastic, each member is given an equal share of the spotlight, and the level of musicianship is amazing. By the end of the CDs, I really wish there was more. Lots more.
Just a technical note, the music was recorded on a 2 track tape machine in mono (to my ears) and it is not a fantastic sounding multi-track recording. Even so, you get a really good sound for the band, but Mayall's singing is a bit buried in the mix. But it still sounds good; the CDs really have a unique sound.

Mick Taylor
The introduction of an 18 year old Mick Taylor and the sweet sound of his guitar riffs are worth getting this CD for me. He was amazing with the Stones afterward in his career. He would play a guitar lead and when you thought it was played out he would keep going and elevate it. I'm wondering why the $16 used price for this CD and it might be because of him. And Mick Taylor quit, quit the Rolling Stones. Mayall is Mayall with the mouth harp, very good.
