Same old stuff but worth it for die hard fans!

This collection of live tracks is basically the 1974 King Records release, "Live In Japan" but the one thing that makes it worth the purchase is that this collection features the alternate concert recorded for "Live In Japan".

A few more mistakes are noticeable in this digitally mastered recording.

Tony Peluso fumbles in his DJ voice, and Karen too screwed up in "Sing", forgetting briefly that she was suppose to sing it in Japanese.

Does it really matter though? No. Karen could do what she wanted to ... she owned the best voice of the turbulent and crazy nineteen seventies! The sound quality is awesome. I almost like it better than the show that appears on "Live in Japan".

There are a few bonus videos from their 1974 show: Close To You, Jambalaya, and Yesterday Once More (viewable via Quicktime). Not exactly the selling point for me.

The book that is attached to the CD casing is loaded with rare photos.

All in all, it's worth the $20 bucks it can be found for!
