"Mechanical Resonance was great, The Great Radio Controversy even better. However the boys managed to step up a grade on this one and it comes from IMO better and glossier production.

"Fantastic album! The guitars on this one were out of this world. Definitely a part of my life for now and I am going to have to here the rest of the albums which are not on this website yet. I Feel Love was my favorite!"  Reply

"Mark me among the minority - I don't object to Sinatra's monologue at all. In fact, I think it captures the time, place and performer perfectly - which is what a Live album is supposed to do, isn't it?
