EXIT... STAGE LEFT

This album has a more polished sound than "ATWAS", but I think I like it just as much as that one simply because the trio stretches out some more. Here, they jam out on LA VILLA STRANGIATO (with Broon's Bane being a great opener to it), and lash out with a full-on version of CLOSER TO THE HEART (oddly, much better here than the next 3 times it was aired, probably because it wasn't done ad nauseum.) All in all, a great record, and the last time, oddly enough, you could hear such a warm sounds coming from the trio. Later live recordings would be cold and distant (until Rush In Rio), so, if you want something warm and vibrant in the live area, pick this up and prepare to have youur butt kicked.
