I bought this CD from Allan himself (who autographed it after the show) when he played in Denton, TX a couple of years ago.

This is an incredible live recording. Allan's playing can be completely overwhelming to the listener (in a good way). But the way I make sense of what I'm hearing is to closely follow Jimmy Johnson's bass lines. The bass provides an elegantly solid impression of the melodic changes and progression of the song. Listening against this backdrop, Allen's unbelievable/amazing guitar work takes on an even higher and greater sonic relevance. It's hard to take the main listening focus off of the guitar, but if one can do this, the a very rewarding musical experience will be achieved.

This is a MUST CD for any true Holdsworth fan. Allan is a class act, start to finish, and an artist in the truest sense.

Allan Holdsworth is so transcendently excellent as a jazz/rock guitarist, so inventive, so hard on himself, and so exploratory, that his fan base is minimal. However, those "in the know" heap upon him the highest praises. In other words, he is so good, few people like him; but those that do heep one superlative after another in their attempts to capture something of his art in words.
Mr. Holdsworth's music is not easy to find, at least in the US, so I cannot rate this against his entire corpus of work. However, I find it to be the best I have heard thus far and the best band and venue. A note on the wrapping claims this is Mr. Holdsworth's first live CD. I have "I.O.U Live" (which is superb, and feature the same line up with the addition of Paul Williams on vocals), but apparently that was a bootleg, according to the official Allan Holdsworth web page ([...]
There are no vocals on this recording, which allows all the bandmates to stretch out and up. The songs all allow for--in fact, demand--extended improvization, a challenge well heeded by Mr. Holdsworth, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Wackerman. The latter is mixed very hot with stellar fidelity, which is apt given both his power and subtlety. He plays with a large set, laden with tom-toms and cymbols (including very small, chime-sounding ones), but plays them in a more jazz-like way than any heavy metal drummer with a comparable drum kit.
Holdsworth is an unending wellspring of creativity, weaving mostly legato textures at breakneck speeds without ever shredding just for the sake of speed alone. Call it high velocity tastefullness. He also displays his symphonic sense a few times on the synthaxe, although this is not credited on the CD itself. He is listed only as playing "guitar.

I'm not an AH scholar. Before this recording, I was only familiar with his work in Tony William's Lifetime II and with Bill Bruford (solo & UK). Wow! This is hard-boiled stuff, yet with a beauty and elegance all its own.

On a side note, Chad Wackerman is a revelation. Curse you, Frank Zappa, for that infernal '80s drum-machine sound!

Like I said, I'm not an AH scholar, but now I'm a fan.

Allan Holdsworth is one of the electric guitar's stellar craftsmen; his legato phrasing and chordal techniques are jaw-dropping examples of accomplished technical prowess. But, alas, somewhere along the line of developing his method, he appears to have left the music behind. The problem is a noticeable lack of soul, and by that I do not mean rhythm- or blues-derived artifice. The playing on this CD, while technically awesome, is sadly meandering and melodically mostly vacant, with "Water on The Brain, Part II" the exception. To hear what Holdsworth is really capable in terms of pure musicality, check out his acoustic collaborations with pianist Gordon Beck.

No question that Holdsworth is an excellent guitar player. One of the best but this show is more like an exhibition. None of the songs are memorable in my opinion. I came away from listening thinking " Wow he is great" but not wanting to listen again. It is one incredible run from the beginning of the song to the end. If that is what you like, knock yourself out. The most amazing part is how can Holdsworth play that fast that long? Wow!

Background: I'm not a fan of jazz fusion. But this live album gets high marks primarily due to the trio format forsaking an additional melodic instrument namely keyboards. As a result, one can enjoy almost non-stop playing by Holdsworth, perhaps the greatest electric guitarist ever along with John McLaughlin. There are plenty of insanely fast, sweeping legato guitar lines. I do appreciate his compositions and his chord voicings although I'm not thrilled with his rhythm tone. More of a 4 1/2 star rating.
I am a huge fan of free jazz style drumming and I find myself listening to Chad Wackerman with equal interest. With the guitar and drums playing the most prominent roles, it is rather reminiscent of the Coltrane-Rashied Ali pairing in Interstellar Space.
The audio quality is clear.

For those not familiar with AH's work: If ever Amazon's samples didn't accurately portray an artist, it's here. All of these pieces are -just- about to break out into the most exciting, demanding, advanced guitar solos in existance. We all have our favorites for a variety of reasons, but when I plan on playing electric guitar cds, I have to save AH for last, or everyone who follows will sound like a beginner.
