For fans of Santana and Gregg Rolie this is an immediate crowd pleaser. This album gets you going from the opening track 'Jingo' and keeps you going through all 12 tracks. Gregg and band do a spectacular job with all the songs and you won't be disappointed. While Gregg has released solo efforts through the years, his most notable effort came in the form of the band Journey. But after he left and adventured out with 'The Storm' the premise of this album is where Gregg shines and with prior solo releases is where he has tried to stay at. A much under appreciated vocalist and keyboard player he rocks out on this live release. I still consider his work with Journey some of the band's best music, regardless of popular opinion. Their first three albums, musically are far superior to future releases with the exception of 'Infinity' where the album was mostly written before Perry came on board. Gregg Rolie has a unique voice and I was happy to see a live release from him with solo and Santana hits. Maybe he is an acquired taste, but once you listen you do get hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars the next best thing, November 10, 2009

Having seen GRB live a couple of times, I have to say that this CD is the next best thing to being there. This group is so tight musically that you would think that the album had been done in a studio, but no, this is a live performance. Normally I do not care for live albums because the sound quality and distractions from the crowds ruin it, but not here. You will LOVE this album!

I've been a Gregg Rolie Band fan since I saw him live back 2002! This one has been a LONG time coming, since his last effort is from 2001 (Roots). I immediately came here when I saw this release on Gregg's website, for $8.99 it's a steal. They are one great live band, and should not be missed, if they're in your area. They bill themselves as "Santana Live! - the way you remember it", that about sums it up here! This is also an excellent way to jam out to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, seeing two members of GRB actually played there! I've heard this is from a 2007 show from Sturgis, and even better news, that it will be released on DVD as well. Do yourself a favor, and buy that, too! You will NOT be disappointed!
