Not good enough.......2004-05-05

The performance of the songs is great as usuall, but the girl isnt as good as Bobby is, i think she is a little bit nervious(africa, hold the line) and she didnt make her best.
Besides, Simon plays better in the annivesary album, the drums are pretty important in TOTO.
If you are looking for a nice live version of "I ll be over you" you should buy this, but NOT if you want nice vesrsions of "Georgy Porgy" and "99".Those really sucks¡

A Frustrating Release.......2002-09-05

This CD should get 5 stars. The music is excellent, the songs are as good as they ever were and the crowd atmosphere works its way very easily into the living room.

This CD should get 1 star. The song selection is virtually identical to the "Past To Present" compilation, there's 83 minutes spread very thinly over two discs, and it was taken from a show lasting around 3 hours.

So I give it the in between grade of 3 stars. But really, this CD has no use for anybody...1999s "Livefields" is the essential live TOTO album. Casual fans might want live versions of some of the better known songs ( most of which are not on "Livefields"), but they're unlikely to want to shell out for a double disc that could almost fit onto a single disc. If this had included more of the songs that were played that night ("I'll Supply The Love", "If It's The Last Night", "Angel Don't Cry", "Never Enough" etc, etc) then this could have been a great release. As it is any interest left in it beyond the inclusion of a fine cover of "With A Little Help From My Friends" is the documentary value of hearing Simon Phillips drumming with the band shortly before he became a full band member.

If you have a chance to pick this album up cheaply, then you should. However nobody but the most ardent die-hard fan should actively bother to seek it out - you'll only be frustrated by the thought of what it could have been.
