5.0 out of 5 stars I saw these cats in Pittsburgh back in 1976 at the Strand ., January 28, 2000

By	"drehworrad" (USA- Left coast) - See all my reviews

I had this album on plastic but due to a miss-hap, I've spent the past 15+ years hit'n every record store /garage sale looking for this dyn-no-mite ! record. If you want to know what fusion is about, you must get this disk. Cobham kicks a whole in your speakers and registers a 4.5 on the earth quake meter! Geroge Duke grew another arm with 2 hands on it! Check it out, if fusion / rock / funk, is your thang! This was the penicle of fusion and funk. The cats studied !

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic band, stellar live album., December 28, 1998

By A Customer

This record is probably the only documentation of this awesome act, which included John Scofield on guitar and Alphonso Johnson on bass--both at the top of their craft. This is true fusion: heavy on the funk and rock, but chock fulla killer jazz changes and full-shred soloing. As usual with a Cobham offering, there are moments of self-indulgence (Frankenstein Goes to the Disco) and there are plenty of space noises. But this truly represents the finest era of jazz/rock fusion--before the genre was nearly destroyed by "smooth jazz."
