Hard to rate Cipollina because he's just so awesome no matter what, but this show is really not all that. Never cared for Gravenites myself: he's kind of a blues singer from the Robert Hunter school of performance art: pretentiously non-pretentious. Cipolllina was always capable of tons more interesting stuff than this, and even managed to get some out there when he wasn't fulfilling the stereotype of the San Fran shuffle. If you like more progressive stuff, don't think that this is all Cip could do, is all I'm saying.

What a great show. I've been a QMS and Nick Gravenites fan for years. This is a real pleasure to listen to. John is one of the most underated guitar players around in my book. Hearing Pride of Man sung by Nick was like a breath of fresh air after all these years. Bravo!

i saw this show hanging out in the "recently added shows", waiting for "curator approval", (not yet available for download) on christmas eve. i was giddy with anticipation, just what i had asked for. but, this made me reflect back on the year 2005, and whether i had been naughty, or nice. i pleaded anyway, santa...please...for chriiiiistmaaaas.....oh pleeeeeeeeeeeze!!! it was not to be so (they give people time off around here for christmas?...sheeeesh!!!). my stockings were bare (i know this might turn on a few of you...but, back to the story). and, it does have a happy ending (ahem). the show turned up here on the 27th. i guess i hadn't been altogether, that bad-a-boy after all...(eh santa?). it is everything i imagined it would be. a one disc diddy of a dandy show. roger(can i call ya santa?), ya done it again. your audience tapes of these shows are friggin incredible. thanks again!
easy 5 stars all the way around
