Don't miss it! posted on 12/01/2021 5 Stars Reviewer: Chris Crystal clear recording that puts you in the front row. Everything is perfect and places us "old timers" back in a setting somehow lost today. Woodstock like, in a small venue.

Do not judge this "book" by its cover! posted on 11/15/2021 5 Stars Reviewer: Grateful For anyone old enough (or diehard enough) to remember the average live bootlegs that were produced "back in the day" you knew after your first purchase to expect a lousy pressing with a crummy cover and sonically offensive content. The best we could typically hope for was an FM broadcast that someone taped and transferred to vinyl. But for any of us who could not get enough they were still a welcome purchase. The cover to this release is obviously a nod to those days but the similarity ends there. This is a wonderful recording and I have no problem putting this up against any of the best of Neil's live output. If I had to describe this show in a single word it would be "intimate". I have never been to Carnegie Hall but this vinyl issue makes you feel as if you are right there. Is the content worthy of a better cover? Absolutely! But Neil has always had a punk side to him and this reflects that in my opinion. Highly recommended!
