4 stars Well such a great approach live by Steve Morse with D.D. is witnessed thanks to this King Biscuit Flower Hour (I remember another good live from GTR with this label)...for instance "Night Meets Light" and "Cruise Control" are excellent tracks, but also "Ice Cakes" and "The Bash" , being meaningful examples of their attention to each detail during their stunning execution, also in the longest tracks. Of course their album "What If" remain alone as an unsurpassable number, cause above all of a better production; nevertheless this style of their own, which is not strictly progressive (rather a mix-I should say- of different styles) is unmistakable also in the present live act: sometimes it could resemble the fusion of Brand X in the relaxed moods,while in other circumstances They like to play according a completely different mood, such as the experimental country rock or the shuffle...it's difficult to understand, so listen to it and stop it!!

This was one of the most original and clever fusion bands of the seventies...make it live over again through this unforgettable performance!!
