Absolutely Stellar!.......2006-07-24

Taken as a whole and not stripped down track by track, this is truly (as per the introduction) a musical moment! And what a moment it is. Stepping in for Larry Carlton we have the new pretender to the session crown Steve Lukather, young and raw. On drums we have the new Bonham, Jeff Porcaro, displaying his peerless skills. They come, they see and they conquer. The stamina of these musicians is legendary. They don't let up for a moment. Listening to the cramp inducing drum workout makes you wince. Hearing Lukather wind his fingers up and crank out speed licks is truly heart stopping. You can see why these musicians took LA by storm and the genesis of many Club, Studio and Stadium dates had it's beginning in places like this. Pure musical alchemy where the dross is burned out in the fearsome cauldron and heat of Live performance. These musicians were on the cusp of greatness. Lukather lays down his trademark sound and tone which would be refined over the next year, during which he would pull off his greatest sessions for Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Randy Crawford etc...Likewise for Jeff who used these gigs to hone and practice his evolving mastery of the drums. A pity David Paich was not sitting in the keyboard seat on this evening. These 3 musicians would soon strike paydirt at the grammies and help to shape the sound of popular music for years to come. The real godfathers of music bar none. A holy musical trinity for musicians to admire, setting standards which have never been surpassed. With this recording you are holding in your hands a moment in time and a piece of musical history. Kudos to Matheison and Pops for attempting to keep up with them.

Best fusion album ever!.......2002-08-04

I heard this album when it first came out in '82. Twenty years later, it still captures the essense of what fusion could have (and should have) been. Like most fusion albums, this one is chock-full of tight, flashy performances. Unlike most fusion albums, however, this one delivers strong and memorable melodies. Not once is the musical statement sacrificed to the gods of flash. No exssesive soloing. No exssesive anything. I wish I had been there in person for this show. Whoever reissued this did the music world a HUGE favor...

Superior Live.......2001-06-08

When i first listened to this album back in the eighties, i was stunned. How could a bunch of musicans create music with so much energy ? This is a liverecording from LA with two Toto-members, namely Steve Lukather and the late Jeff Porcaro, alongside with Greg Matieson and Pops Popwell (whoever he is). Lukather frenetic guitarrwork has never been better. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride...
