I don't normally post about concert videos, but I've watched this one more than once and wanted to memorialize that. I like that it's short (about an hour), has Fred Maher, Fernando Saunders, and above all, Robert Quine. Some people make a big deal out of it, but it lacks that special spark if you ask me. I should compare it with the audio recording of Live in Italy. I did rate that a notch higher for some reason, even though it's the same band playing alot of the same songs at around the same time (although to a bigger crowd). Can it be that the band is so visually boring that it actually detracts from the music to watch them play it? Lol if so. Maher is definitely the only one that's fun to watch play.
Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.
