Subject: Highly recommended

This is an absolutely outstanding performace and a top quality recording. What's more, it was a great weekend all around.

Subject: Warm and Fuzzy

Yes, this is a must for long-time fans of Howe and his extended family. Great sound quality. Wish I'd been there. Thanks for sharing! I give it a very biased 5 stars.

Reviewer: Jörg - - November 6, 2005
Subject: Wonderful!

Already a legendary performance by now, this special event during a special event (the anniversary-festival of Club Congress, which also featured the reunion by Green On Red, among others) is some kind of retrospective-show, three decades of GS, Blacky Ranchette et al, the songs featured here range from "Steadfast" from the very first Giant Sandworm release to the recent gem "Classico". And participants from all three decades, make this even more special - but this is no all-star-Greatest-Hits-show! It's a Howe-ish celebration of the songs and the music, with a rather spontaneous approach, sometimes the versions turn out magnificent & wonderful (Yer Ropes, Classico...), sometimes rather ramshackle in an entertaining kind of way (especially hilarious the attempt of Heartland). This is a must-have for anybody familiar with the work of Howe Gelb, newcomers might first get the Mühle Hunziken set (or buy the albums, of course). Thanks a lot for making this one available online!
