Title: A disappointing effort to say the least
Product review: From the slipshod cover "art" to the abyssmal sound quality to the sloppy performances, this nearly-bootleg album comes across as a classic "just finishing up our record deal, now let's get outta here" type of release. It's a real shame, as the current lineup of this band (featuring Paul Kantner, Jack Casady, Marty Balin, and Diana Mangano among others) can be a stone killer in concert. It's also unfortunate that about half of this set repeats selections (though not performances) from their 1995 effort, "Deep Space, Virgin Sky." Fans deserve much, much better quality, and the band isn't doing itself any favors by adding this sort of material to it's catalogue. I give it two stars as a die hard fan who owns all JA/JS and related releases except "Modern Times." In fact, die hard fans may be even more critical of this stuff than casual fans....all others need not apply....
