One of the best live CDs I ever heard. Recorded at a Florida beach club, Pizza delivers a rollicking atmosphere and terrific tunes. Forbert covers everyone from Robert Johnson to Jimmy Rodgers, adds a few of his inimitable originals, and finishes up with a not-to-be-missed version of "Sweet Pea." Outstanding from beginning to end, and highly recommended.

I just finished listening to this for the first time, and I decided to check out Amazon to see what people were saying about it. I'm not surprized to see that reviews are going from outstanding to lukewarm. If you're new to Steve's music, my advice is: don't start here. I've been a fan from the beginning, and I agree with the reviewers of most of his records here on Amazon, the guy is really an underappreciated talent. The better way to find that out is on his studio albums. I rated it with a 3 because (1) Amazon required me to give a rating, and (2) I feel that how much you'll appreciate it really will depend on how familiar you are with his music. As the liner notes say; "So here we were- singing for a small crowd that stood so far away we couldn't see their their faces clearly, so-not worrying about it-playing pretty much for ourselves, ...(we) decided to get a tape machine rolling." For guys like me that have continued to listen to his albums off and on for years this is a nice treat. It's almost like catching him live, except you can be Bar-B-Qing on the porch while you,listen. For someone not familiar with his music or looking for the production quality of his studio stuff, this would be a disappointment. Note: the last two songs are not listed on the CD, but are listed here at Amazon, except the next to the last track is "If You're Waiting On Me", not "I'm Backing Up, Boys".

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, September 28, 2002

I have been a fan of Steve F. for almost 25 years, and I am at a loss to understand the other two reviews raving about this CD-- I sold mine back. While Forbert is Forbert and is never awful, this is certainly NOT his best; missing the fine tuning and details of studio albums, and some weak selections
Pass and go on to other things.
