5.0 out of 5 stars This one's a keeper, August 13, 1998

Like a lot of others I got turned on to these fellows in a smoke filled 70's campus apartment and enjoyed the quality songwriting and perfect harmonies with good friends. This collection contains a very balanced combination of original tunes and other song writers. Jesse Winchester's "Yankee Lady" is a classic and the two Dylan tunes "All Along The Watchtower" and "The Mighty Quinn" are interpreted in a very comfortable coffee house style. Their original songs reflect on a time when the sixties expressionism hadn't given up to cocaine and disco. It was a special, albeit brief, time when two guys in flannel shirts and acoustic guitars could get by with small clubs and college auditoriums. The original songs are a perfect combination of lyric and solid playing that intertwines the mind and the soul. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars gotta have it, August 22, 1998

I saw B&S in 1974 when they were stealing the show from a band known as America. This recording just brought that fine summer night back in full detail. This is a gotta have recordiing for anyone who enjoyed the folk/pop sound of the 70's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Missouri Boys Sound as Great As Ever, December 12, 1999

Growing up with the music of Brewer and Shipley, this is an excellent live version of the old hits. Seeing them in Kansas City, Jefferson City, and of course, at the 1986 Superbowl Party at my brother Chuck's house in Rolla (Tom Shipley, that is) and some of the riverboat Casinos along the Mississippi River were real treats. One complaint, however, is due...Although they should feel good about having a movie "theme" song in their honor (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), WHAT A HORRIBLE MOVIE! I guess, however, they wanna' be Commercial Successes, and I shouldn't complain!
