REVIEW
Wow! All of these great players on one double live album! Must be great, right? WRONG! I haven't listened to this record in a while, but I don't remember being very impressed despite the line-up. A good idea to get such diverse players on one stage, but the results are tedious. I guess I can only listen to lite fusion for so long. The album ends with practically everybody jamming on a repetitive, 21-minute version of AWB's "Pick Up the Pieces" (the only track that Don plays and solos on). A real yawner, but you might think differently.
