I knew that Brian Auger was a great keyboard player and Alex Ligertwood was a great singer. With great studio albums like Closer to It, Second Wind, Straight Ahead, and Reinforcements, I assumed that material would be given the extended jam treatment. The only problem was that this live collection was only available as a Japanese import, and used at that. With the assurance that it was in "very good condition", I took the plunge and bought this collection for $30. It arrived in New York in 12 days, and the cover art and cds were in mint condition. The jewel case had mild wear but who cares?! Overall the performances are great...plenty of loose extended jamming. Sometimes Alex Ligertwood makes some strange choices, for example, the instrumental Bumpin' on Sunset probably didn't need lyrics or singing, but overall I was pleased and if you give it a chance, I think you will be as well.

… but this is no where near as good as the studio versions mainly because Ligertwood’s singing is awful as is his erratic cow bell like . Clangs. The rest of the band is superb. Best tracks are Don’t Look Away and Happiness is Just Around the Bend.

one of my favorite artists. Thanks for having this cd available. It helps to complete my collection of all things Auger! He played with Steampacket the first super group out of England in the late 1960s.
