Overview: An uneven vocal performance, but an outstanding band performance. The band is very tight on most songs, especially the ones originally recorded by this lineup. On the older songs, however, the group's performance is not as strong. John in particular is quite flat on the Byron songs, Stealin' being the worst. Songs like Woman Of The Night absolutely rock and Free Me is much superior to the studio version. This album deserves to be remastered and released as a double CD set. Grade: B+
I'm still waiting for my remastered copy to arrive and will redo my review when it does. From what I've heard, the sound is vastly improved and the bonus tracks are excellent. Sounds like another great reissue job by Rob Corich!!
