"Newly expanded with three complete concerts, this 1978 double live album captured the elastic, elusive charms of Little Feat and proved foundational for jam bands to come".

"Their crackling combination of funk, jazz, pop, blues, swamp rock, and New Orleans rhythms that created such studio gems as the 1973 Dixie Chicken and the following year's Feats Don't Fail Me Now exploded on stage. Bringing in the Tower of Power horns for some songs further pushed the shows into the red. The set list ran the scope of Feat's albums, cherry-picking the best moments and injecting them with crunching energy, often extending and nailing a pocket the studio versions frequently just hinted at".

"These recordings capture the band at the peak of its powers, wondering why it didn't break bigger in the United States even as it enjoyed popularity abroad. Backed on several tracks by the Tower of Power horn section, the band on these recordings was vocalist-guitarist-leader Lowell George, guitarist-vocalist Paul Barrere, keyboardist Bill Payne, drummer Richie Hayward, bassist Kenny Gradney and percussionist-vocalist Sam Clayton. This is full-force Feat, captured before George, its co-founder with Payne and its foundational songwriter, withdrew from the group to pursue a solo career".
