This live album has come close to overthrowing The Romantic Warrior as my all time favorite album! Again RTF continue to amaze with their complex arrangements and time signatures, this time made even grander by the big band.

By now the guitar was gone, but the horn section and Stanley more than make up. The first disc is my favorite with long tracks and generally more energy. The second disc is a little more laid back, with some solos by Stanley and Chick.

My favorite tracks are Endless Night(pure bliss!!), Musician, Musicmagic and Spanish Fantasy. Endless Night could be sold by itself, it is that good!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Quality and timeless' recording... don't miss !!!, January 6, 2006

I would say this was the best live recording set up by chick corea ever.Very difference from the others RTF's materials but far better in most way (my humble opinion). Most of the songs from Musicmagic are featured here with fantastic extended solos and intros. These are the tunes that first turned me on to the music of c corea ever since. I owned the original 4LPs set and also bought the cd-set with the red cover. In the RTF red cover cds, certian portion found on the LPs were omitted from the cd including the part when chick introduces the musicians- which was really great to feel the response and reaction between the audiences and the band. Also the extended intro to 'so long mickey mouse' too was cut. However, it was still very good consider some of the materials needed to be removed to allow the 4 LPs to fit into the 2cds set. I hope this new release with today's tech.would contain the complete recordings. If 'quality' and 'timeless' tunes are what you looking for, go get it. Been listening to them for over 20 years, still sound great and fresh today. ..A t the same time, I was longing for Chick to try some of these songs in the Elektric band format, that would be mind blowing esp. for tune like 'endless night'.
