This 2003 release is Nils Lofgren's fifth official live album, and while it may not quite match the raucous affair of 1977's Night After Night, it still proves him to be a formidable talent as a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and bandleader. The double disc set includes tracks from Lofgren's early career, such as White Lies and Lost a Number, as well as the classic "I Don't Wanna Talk About It." It also features newer solo tracks, like "Puttin' Out Fires," and his rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner."

Bruce Springsteen has frequently introduced Nils Lofgren as the "greatest, most overqualified" second guitarist in rock & roll, and for good reason. Lofgren will certainly be remembered as one of the great team players, first as second chair to Neil Young, and more recently with the E Street Band. The fact that the Rolling Stones wanted him to replace Mick Taylor and those early tours leading Ringo Starr's band blurs the fact that Lofgren has created some terrific music of his own.

The set list for this live album touches on more obscure moments from Lofgren's career, dating back to four tunes from his early trio Grin, one from his debut LP, and a touching tribute to long-deceased Crazy Horse co-guitarist Danny Whitten via the latter's "I Don't Want To Talk About It." Lofgren's guitar sound is wonderful, and his covers of "The Star Spangled Banner" and Roberta Flack's "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (a studio bonus track) reveal that he still possesses one of the more beautiful and soothing voices in all of rock music.
