5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST DAVE MASON CD IN MY OPINION, January 29, 2000

I DISAGREE WITH THE OTHER REVIEW. THE LIVE STUFF ON THIS CD IS TOP NOTCH. TE VERSION OF WORLD IN CHANGES MAKES ALONE TOGHETHER SOUND LIKE DEMO's. THE STUDIO TRAX ARE THE ICING BUT THE LIVE STUFF IS THE CAKE. TOTALLY RECOMENDED.. HIS BAND ON THIS RECORD IS TO DIE FOR!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for the collection!, November 26, 2002

I love the combination of live and studio material on this one. Yes, it seems as if Dave may have preferred to wait and add more live tracks to this album, adding the studio stuff to "It's Like you Never Left." However, "Headkeeper" on the latter is a completely different version from the one found here. This version is all Dave on vocals, with no harmonizing on the chorus, and it features a fabulously spacey ending. I can't pick a favorite, I just love them both equally. "Here We go Again" is a shorter version of "Silent Partner" without the moog bass, unfortunately, but again the two complement each other well. The HIGHlight, of course, is the live material, and I agree with the previous reviewer that "World in Changes" is becoming my favorite live number by far. Also, any album with "Pearly Queen" in concert goes straight to the top of my list. Buy it for the live stuff, appreciate the studio stuff, but make sure to add it to any collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars I hate to date myself, but....., January 7, 2002

I think this is one of the best albums ever made. I got it while I was in high school and the album sits in my living room on this very day (January, 2002!).

My favorite song is Headkeeper, I'm surprised no one ever covered it, If someone did, I would love too hear it.

The songs are good, the guitar playing is fantastic, Dave Mason has always had a destinctive voice. I think Dave Mason never got the credit he is due.

All in all, it is a great album you never get tired of listening to.
