Album Notes & Community Reviews
Compiled from performances between late 1989 and early 1990, this double album highlights the band's resurgence following the commercial success of 'In the Dark'. The set notably features brilliant saxophone contributions from Branford Marsalis on an extended, legendary rendition of 'Eyes of the World'. It serves as a definitive document of Brent Mydland's final, creatively fertile era with the group before his sudden death.
