Anyone who saw these guys in their prime in the early '80s (when this set was recorded) knows what they could do - and this CD shows it. One of the best live boogie/blues/rock bands ever, puts out a collection without one weak song. Mark Wenner is unsurpassed on harmonicas and Jimmy Thackery's guitar is high energy all the way. While almost all their other CDs are a mix of some great and some OK tracks, this one is great all the way through. Crank this up and picture yourself in a small smoke filled club like the old "Double Door" in Charlotte, with these guys so close that Thackery would actually walk out into the audience for some songs as they shook the walls. If you don't find yourself stompin' your foot to this CD, you're older than I am (maybe dead). ---amazon.com
