Von Rainer Koch am 11. Februar 2018 Na ja, da habe ich mir doch mehr von erwartet, bin ein großer Fan der beiden Alben (Feels good to me & one off a kind) aber was die Band hier abliefert ist doch sehr uninspiriert, es groovt einfach nicht und es liegt meiner Meinung nach an Jeff Berlin, wo der auf den beiden Album noch überzeugen kann, liefert er hier eine merkwürdige Performance ab. Er spielt einfach zu viel, weniger wäre mehr gewesen, und der Bass Sound ist auch schlecht; zu verzerrt. Berlin hätte sich mehr zurückhalten sollen, man merkt wie Allan Holdsworth bei der Sache richtig leidet. Bill Bruford hätte sich diese Veröffentlichung sparen können.
Brillant.. C'est simple. Et non, pour Philippe, ce n'est toujours pas le Dave Stewart de Eurythmics… Mais c'est celui de National Health et Dave & Barbara….
Fantastic to see this released. Pity it wasn't longer - sound and picture quality good. All the band are on great form - brilliant musicianship all round as you would expect. Camera work is frustrating at times for Holdsworth fans (like me) - the camera insists at times on focusing on the body of Holdworths guitar with just his picking hand on show, sometimes no shots during solo's, having said that plenty of Holdsworth's incredible technique and truly innovate playing - hat's off to the other guys too, especially Jeff Berlin on bass. By the time I got to see Bruford, Holdsworth had left, replaced by John Clarke, so it's great to have this record of one of the shows with Holdsworth on-board. I'm afraid I wince at Annette Peacock's vocals but that's maybe just me - still gave it 5 stars. Overall very hightly recommended - an awsome band at the height of their powers.

To see the foursome actually performing material from "one of a kind" onstage should automatically release five stars, but the fifth star is absent due to insensitive editing executed by personel obviously totally indifferent to the nature of this music. Throughout, focus is on the performer NOT playing solo, and it is quite agonizing watching Bill Bruford drumming while the mighty Jeff Berlin punishes the bass, watching Dave Stewart playing keyboards, while phantom Allan Holdsworth delivers a guitarsolo, or vice versa. In particular, it is frustrating that the cameraman focuses on Holdsworth's picking hand, while the fretboard-spider-hand taking those weird chords, we all wish to see, wanders out of frame. Apart from these technicalities, you are in for an incredible 45-minute ride into extreme musicianship in a musical genre unfortunately no longer in existence. Enjoy, Martin, Copenhagen
