Title: STHETICS of a strong live album, but not a strong reissue
Product review: Nevertheless, I give it 4 stars for the significant content.Frank Doris (from TAS*), talking of Buck Dharma, wrote "...a titanic, hurricane force musician". He is a great guitar player, and this album is a raw evidence. The live tunes are okay ('Dont Fear The Reaper' is, to my ears, better on this live version(harder and faster) than the studio's. But, it is for the remarkable version of 'Astronomy' the majority of us will be after this recordI had the vinyle record years ago, and I must say it sounded better than the re-issue; cd's fault? [ my cd copy is a CBS pressed in Austria if that means something ]. In fact, some tunes have a good sound, others are less obvious. Musically, this is p o w e r f u l stuff : hardrock - - if not heavy metal - - at a 1 0 0 % technical peak ! * *The Abso!ute Sound, vol 20, issue 104
