"Lost somewhat in the bounty of previously unreleased material distributed across the deluxe editions of Marvin Gaye's 1971-1981 studio albums, this performance appeared in totality on the second disc for What's Going On. Eighteen years later, newly mixed by John Morales, it gets an appropriate separate release with in-depth contextualization from Gaye biographer David Ritz ... the gig itself - with a humble and gracious Gaye frequently commenting and directing musical director Maurice King - is basically a rehearsal in front of a rapt and vocal audience".
