The music on this CD is great, the jamming is there, the energy and fun that Savoy Brown had is evident, and its the only live recording I know of of Hellbound Train. Is it worth having, yes, for dedicated SB fans but the sound quality is sure to dissappoint. The bass is muddied and too out front, the drums just have no snap, and worse of all, Kim Simmons guitar sounds like somebody forgot to turn up his amp. You really have to perk your ears to hear him at all on many cuts. Overall, it sounds like somebody recorded this concert from outside the building on a portable cassette player, in a barrel. I did enjoy a listen to this based on the music and historical content but I just won't be able to repeat this cd to many times because of the sound quality.

Not quite sure why the guys across the pond give this such unflattering reviews; whilst it's fair to say the sound is a touch muddy and Kim Simmond's guitar is way too low in the mix, there is an energy and soul in this album that other bands can only dream of. It is very much the sound of a good bootleg, listenable but by no means perfect and therefore for fans only.
