DEEP: This is the full show from '92 Waikiki presented in
amazing, in your face, take no prisoners quality - from the Board!
Quality here, IMO, exceeds that of both Marseilles '93 and Monterey
'95. The mix is perfect w/Bob's voice well upfront but not too
dominating and every instrumental nuance ringing clear and true. A
fine show that grows better with each listen and includes a few
truly transcendent moments. Move this to the top of the '92 list.
Bonus tracks are well-selected, a nice complement to an already
stellar collection. Very attractive looking package patterned
after the Elvis soundtrack of the same name. Overall, a more-than-
excellent effort.
rmd: Beautiful sound quality; one of the best soundboards
around. In terms of performance, though, ... But despite singing
through his sinus cavities and enunciating like a drunken student
practicing a new language, he pulls a few tricks out of the bag,
particularly an outstanding "Golden Vanity." The band
sounds great, and the cover is clever.
