"Unexplainable how this album wasn't on the site, you're never gonna find a more eclectic piece, I've become a huge fan of Miles electric period and although this may not be as extraordinary as In A Silent Way or as ambitious as Bitches Brew it has more vibe and rhythm and it flows adequately thro..."  [+]  Reply

"This live album has actually stood the test of time it is not that bad as far as live albums go. Captured live in the U.S.A. there are some different takes on some well known songs Suffragette City and the Jean Genie stand out along with a live version of Knock On Wood."  Reply

"I'm sure some of his other records are just as good, but I happen to have this one. Too smooth for some as a soul singer, I find his voice to be just perfectly relaxing for a certain kind of mood."  Reply
