Good double lp of good sound quality as some live stuff from this era tends to be [&*!#]. The live part is much better than the studio lp for me with some good jams and laidback spaciness, though "The Soft Weed Factor" is one the best pieces Karl Jenkins brought to the Softies, I don't think he bettered this in any of his other compositions. Cool and well organized jazz improvisation and the sound is a bit softer than previous Softs efforts, a very smooth sound although on the side two it does go a bit wild in around the drum solo. "37 1/2" is totally grooving, nice riff and Marshall's drumming is real good, better than that Wyatt chap.
