"Fascinating experimental aural commentary on today's western-world capitalist society. I enjoyed it very much." Reply
"Solid album. Quite a bit of vitriol being spewed which is no bad thing when done well. Great groove (drumming is a highlight as always with the WS) and the addition of a "wappy" Hammond" Reply

"One of the all time great compilations. Complete Madness, is perfect in the sense that it captures the band at their best and just before they started to slide.

"When I had a late-night radio show, I could put on Alice's Restaurant, run down the hall to use the bathroom, and be back with plenty of time. Nobody tells a tongue-in-cheek yet politically biting yarn like Arlo. Don't overlook the Motorcycle Song either." Reply

"How could they put out a live album that didn't have Layla on it? Aside from that, these are strong performances and it's a good listen." Reply
""Equinox" is a perfect song. I could run it on a loop for a few hours and not only not get tired of it, but possibly achieve perfect zen. My favorite Coltrane track. "Body and Soul" and "Central Park West" are pretty special as well. "Satellite" is a rare misfire, but the rest of the album is sol..." [+] Reply
