This is a great performance from Stone the Crows at their peak with Les Harvey's great guitar work and Maggie Bell's raunchy singing. There is only five tracks on this c.d but don't worry there's no drum solo's or over indulgencies-although some of the slow blues workouts are a little uninspired (hence only four stars) but on the other tracks the band are stunning. The opener 'friends' really rocks and there is some great hammond/guitar workouts 'love 74' is far superior to the studio version, but the real standout is the twenty minutes plus of Dylan's 'Hollis brown' which shows what a dynamic band they were live and what a great singer Maggie Bell is. The track just builds and builds. Instrumentally it's spot on with some fine guitar. The only let down is it fades before it's finished (i'd love to hear the full version). Still, as an introduction this is a good place to start as the studio albums(forget the one with Jimmy McCulloch) are a bit hit and miss.
