Editorial Reviews

Product Description
2007 live album from the 'voice of Rock', the talented bassist and vocalist who has played with Deep Purple, trapeze and others. For his first solo show in Australia in June of 2006 at the famed Sydney venue, Hughes brought his unique brand of Rock-Funk to a new audience. Indeed, this is one of Britain¹s greatest Rock singers in acoustic mode, intimate and live, and his soulful, distinctive voice is in top-notch condition throughout. The songs range across his career, taking in material from his solo albums like 1977's Play Me Out to 2005's Soul Mover and his newest release Music For The Divine. On top of that, Hughes returns to his legendary Deep Purple days for 'This Time Around', 'You Keep On Moving', an astonishing rendition of 'Mistreated' and a duet with celebrated Aussie Rock front man Jimmy Barnes on 'Getting Tighter'. DTM.

2.0 out of 5 stars Only for Hughes worshipers, November 5, 2007

By	Jerry Kaufman "JKlrock" (Holiday Acres, Mo.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not up to the standards you would expect considering how good his recent anthology release is. The tunes don't hold up well in a acoustic setting, go figure! The production is average at best, kinda grainy. His most recent recordings are excellent but this is not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great live concert and vocal licks, January 24, 2008

By	William Lee "Elgarian" (York, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would respectfully disagree with the previous reviewer. All of the tracks on this wonderful CD stand up to scrutiny. Glenn's voice is in extremely fine form and in no way does the production on my copy sound "grainy". This is well worth a punt from anyone who admires great music and superb vocals. Glenn Hughes continues to inspire. BTW, I love his rendition of Mistreated (it blows me away) and Gettin' Tighter with Jimmy Barnes is brilliant!!!!
