3 out of 5 stars guitargod.......2007-02-04

The music is great,although the vocals suck,I think scott is an amazing guitarist,but really needs to find a good vocalist!The vocals make this recording average.It really shocks me that musicians who play at this level of expertise allow such poor vocals on their recordings.With a good singer this cd is 5 stars all the way!

3 out of 5 stars Huge skills but the trail gets a little lost here and there........2006-05-23

Seemingly over endowed with an ability to do anyting on an electric guitar, Scott Henderson proceeds to do just that.He basically blows his plethora of techniques in every song.Is it free form Blues?.Is it a recombinant jazz/blues fusion that attempts to eschew any stylistic influences from his peers?.....Well I do hear some Holdsworth, and I do hear a very Beckian tone to his slide.But for the most part the licks are not particularly engaging, they just don't compel me to listen over and over like on a Morse, Holdsworth,Beck or Robin Ford release.He has his own tone but I dont particularly like it.His chordal timbre barks and his lead tone is not patently his, it should be by now.There is a time you can just throw things up in the air and catch the notes as they fall,Henderson definitely can do that.But this was not the live gig they should have released in my view.

3 out of 5 stars .....not soo good!!!!.......2006-05-04

I have heard scott henderson for three times live in Italy,two times in Rome and one time in Forlý and i have all his "blues-band" cd.......so I can say one thing...this is the worst live performance of scott that I ever heard...may be was an bad night for him....whatever scott, you are always the best!!!

5 out of 5 stars exactly as described........2006-02-23

5 out of 5 stars What do you do with this guy?.......2005-08-17

For your average guitarist, all you have to do is mention a few "one-million-or-more-sold-albums" guitar players to initiate endless gushing and fawning. I won't mention any names. That's to be expected when most beginning and intermediate musicians only hear what's on the radio and TV. If, on the other hand, you are a true student of music and your instrument, you seek out music and players that challenge your ears and mind while also being tremendously entertaining. Scott Henderson in my opinion is one of the most interesting musicians out there and the best guitar player that no one's heard of. His technique is a combined mastery of tremolo bar note control (a la Jeff Beck), chording and bending (all three simultaneously on occasion) with the knowledge and feel of a skilled, experienced bop musician playing like Jimi Van Halen. Does that make sense to anyone? His style to me is so interesting because he stuffs a theory lesson into practically every measure without sounding too much like a show-off/shredder (you know, the guys that play 32nd note arpeggios for fifteen and a half bars and then bend to the high note)... totally hip and one of a kind. That, however, is the conundrum. Despite all of the diverse theory and technique his style is equilateral. I've heard the majority of his work and you get the full Scott Henderson experience at all times. Wouldn't you if you could? He only makes sense in his own environment so to speak. He won't be backing up Celine Dion any time soon. The guy is AWESOME and if you are relatively inexperienced his playing will probably go over your head but who am I to say. In reference to this particular performance, you'll be hard pressed to find another trio (yes, trio) that sounds like this live. I'd recommend it to every musician who wants to hear one of the BEST of this or any other generation. Also, to the people who for whatever reason don't find this review helpful....never mind, I won't waste my breath. If you have an ounce of musical intuition and brain-one in your head you'll dig this record. I'd also recommend listening to "Well to the Bone" (his studio album previous to this from which came most of the compositions on this record) Happy fuming!!!!
