    This is so damn good. Funky as hell, some great grooves, tight band, just awesome. I would have killed to be in the crowd for this show. This pressing is also impressive, quite simply it sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Great mix for a live show in a hot sweaty club too. One of the crown jewels of my vinyl collection. Five stars and a happy face.

        Absolute killer recording (and remastering) of a great, fun to listen to-session. Two downers: why not a Gatefold, and theres non-fill on A2 "Expressions" on my copy.

          Amazing "jem" of set... Benson is killin' it.... Got to get some more Lonnie...sounds amazing.... Hard to believe this was never released... originally Rega 301 tonearm/ blue point no2 / Technics sl1200

            Great sound, better performance. This was my first exposure to Dr. Smith’s funky organ work and I dig it a lot. Only complaint: would it have killed Blue Note to release this thing in a gatefold? Two LPs in paper sleeves jostling for position in a standard jacket is not ideal. Worth it regardless.

              Fun, funky album with a great party vibe. And beautiful package, mastered by Kevin Gray. It sounds fantastic, especially for a live album. Can hear the rattle of the snare and off-mic voices.

                Brilliant in every way. Lonnie’s crew are tight and funky as hell. Great reissue: sound quality is spot on, considering it’s a live album, all instruments are well spaced. Breakbeat goldmine.
