Live recording of a nights performance, this may be the best use ever of this method of capturing music. Everybody should have these recordings. Aggression is Booker at his best. He plays these blasts near the beginning of his solo that knocked me out the first time I heard it, and still thrill me tremendously. Like Someone in Love is equally masterful, with lovely chamber trios at beginning and end. The Prophet has some of Eric's best alto playing. Bee Vamp is a fascinating composition of Booker's. It's all excellent and rewarding.
