I originally bought this in 33 RPM format, which came in a two record set. I wore out those albums. This brings back some of the best songs that the Daredevils played for their enthusiastic fans at concerts around Missouri and Kansas. The recordings are clear, and you can tell the band played to the enthusiasm of their audiences. Additionally, several artists that joined them when they were around their home town of Springfield, Missouri played on this album.
One of the songs is a very neat setting of "Satisfied Mind" played in the men's bathroom at McDonald Arena at Southwest Missouri State University, so that they could gather the acoustic sound of that area.
I've been looking for this to come out on CD for years, it's one of my favorite Daredevils albums. If you are a Daredevil fan, I'd think you'd need this one, regardless of which Daredevil albums you have, to fill out a good collection of this type of music.

I am thrilled to finally own this on CD. It is a great compilation of classic Ozark Mountain Daredevils tunes, and it is a lot of fun to listen to as well. They had a great time making this CD, and it shows. For fans of '70's classic country rock, or Ozark Mountain Daredevils fans, it is a must-have. Enjoy.

I am happy to see they have put this fine cd out, fantastic live album wont disappoint. I have all of their stuff this is one of the best, The sound quality is excellent, I waited along time for this set to all come out. It is also a long player. I remember when it first came out, it was a two album set so you get your money's worth on this set.

I purchased this CD for my husband because this is a favorite band. He was so surprised, he just loved it and so did I. I will make a point of looking for more CD's from this band at Amazon.com. Thank you! Cheryl Ellison

Way back when I was in college, someone was playing this album at a party I went to. I have always liked "country rock" and I loved this music. The Ozarks are, IMO, one of the best relatively unknown bands in this genre.

Great tunes to listen to while hanging out with friends and having a few cold ones on a hot summer day.

This is not bad, I suppose if you are a big fan you'll enjoy it. I just found it musically very weak and VERY boring.

I have had this cassette since 1979, i wore it out, and was lucky enough to find the CD on Amazon.com. I love it! James

I grew up seeing the daredevils at venues such as Cowtown Ballroom and may have been present at one of the concerts this was recorded at. Great album. Ooh Boys its Hot is one of the best summertime beer drinking songs ever.

we took this cd with us to rocky point on vacation and had everybody dancing and having a good time. The music is alive and well almost thirty years after its conception.
