It is the nature of live albums that (so long as they have not been tampered with too much
in the studio) they showcase that band sounding considerably more raw than the studio
albums; this is pretty much the case here - the musicianship is all high quality (with special
mentions to Phil Erhart & Robbie Steinhart), the vocals a little on the shrill side at times (as
is often the case with live albums - the songs get played faster & the vocalists have to
struggle to keep up), but overall a very good live album, helped by the selection of soings
covered; unusually, the 'hit' singles, 'Wayward Son' & 'Dust In The Wind' are buried mid
set, as opposed to being crow pleasing encoresIf you get a chance to pick this album up at a reasonable price, it will be worth it for the versions of 'Paradox', 'Icarus', 'Mariabron' and 'Magnum Opus' alone.
