"This great Album is burnt into my mind, because I joined the according concert in Hamburg, Germany (Große Freiheit 36 i think). It was my first big concert! I was 16. It was outstanding!"  Reply

"First. :) Before hitting my teens I used to listen to almost exclusively Jean Michel Jarre's music (and before that Italian schlagers).

"Very, very impressive live album. The piano performance by Shoji Aketagawa really pulls it all together for me, so much so that to me it is high on my list of best jazz piano recordings.

"Sadly this would be Royal Headaches swan song before disbanding in 2017 leaving a lasting legacy of merely 2 wonderful albums. These guys could have been the saviour of rock and roll but alas it wasn’t to be"  Reply

"Very good and lengthy live album which captures Peter's studio approach in a live setting well, a fine summation of his greatest hits just before his greatest solo masterpiece."  Reply

"Incredibly underwhelming. I think that best describes this album. The sound is cool and there is a lot of potential for a great album from these guys, but this is not it.
