3.0 out of 5 stars Voice-over kills what should have been a great cd, April 30, 2004

The music on this live CD is spectacular, as satisfying as anything Mac has ever recorded. But I'm downgrading this to a 3 stars because of the horrible decision by the producer to have the first minute of every song destroyed by having a superimposed recording of Dr. John verbally giving us his thoughts about the song. The first minute of the actual music as a result remains only a distant fade in the background. And for me, the instrumental introduction of the song, where the doctor is playing his butt off, is often the best. Mac gets an A+ for his efforts; the producer gets an F for his bonehead move.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Awesome, January 5, 1999

A foot-stomping, finger-snapping, ass-kicking blend of New Orleans funk, soul and gumbo. This is one of the good doctor's best - if you like good music with funky beats, you're going to LOVE this album

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love the "Doctor", you need to have this one., September 10, 1998

For those of us who have had the good fortune to see Dr. John live, we know what we miss when we listen to his studio recordings. With the live recording you get the set-ups about why a song was written, who inspired the song to be written, and just some good time dialogue. If you love this man's style like I do, you need to put this CD in your collection. It just makes you feel reeeeel gooood.
