Magichord Rucker's Album Reviews

Overall this is a very enjoyable release. Phil's choices are fascinating and reflect his insights into the band musically and historically. The early version of Dancin' In the Street is very psychedelic, and Hard To Handle will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. I have the soundboard of that show (8-06-71) and I still prefer this audience recording slightly, in spite of the lower dynamic range and distant presentation. A 2-disc set a fan should own.
