"... a full portrait of what the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is all about. Better still, Circlin' Back is just a good time: as John Prine, Vince Gill, Sam Bush, Jackson Browne, and Jerry Jeff Walker take the stage, the entire thing feels like a party - which, of course, is what it was".

"Just about all this material will be familiar to longtime fans of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and much of it to fans of American folk music in general. But there's a vibrant energy to the show that makes it much more than a nostalgic exercise. This music lives on. The traditions that birthed these songs have existed since long before there was a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and they'll live on long after the band has gone to that great stage in the sky. We're fortunate to have this document to mark 50 years of glorious music-making".
