PROG REVIEWER
4 stars Ladies & gentlemen put your hands together for SPOCK'S BEARD. Yes it is a 2 CD live album covering many of the BEARDS greatest tunes of all time. The songs are slightly varied and offer some real live energy. This album covers the musical highlights from 2 seperate concerts but actually runs like one fluid show and without any overdubs or unnecessary after mix touchups. Highlight for me is "The Doorway" which dips and dives into many new regions and even stars a percussion solo from Nick. Another big surprise is a very nifty version of GENESIS' "Squonk" which was played at Nearfest '99. Overall this is a superb collection and the only bummer is the lack of liner notes and photos (oh well I guess you can't always have everything).

2 stars this record is taken from SB's performances at The Whisky, May 11, 1999 in LA and Nearfest, June 27, 1999 in Bethlehem Pa. containing songs from "The Light" to "Day for Night" albums, unfortunately it doesn't come out with a perfect output. although their instrumentations are outstanding, but you can hear some disharmony of vocals around here. minor things, actually. but still, it hurts my ears. however, this cd is still quite collectible for SB fans. and really really SB fans only.
