This unique show truly captures a broad range of their previous works. It's got a touch of flashy showmanship, yet it still grasps the heart of what they once were and probably performed for countless live crowds years back. This album embodies the live experience and makes it an essential performance to appreciate. The tunes are straightforward and incredibly upbeat. No doubt about it! They're clearly having a blast during their time in Japan.

I'm checking out the CRP-16002 (dbx) edition of this album, and let me tell you, if it's got 'The Crusaders' on it, you're usually in for a treat. The band's playing, the production quality, and the overall musicality are all outstanding. Plus, since this is a dbx-encoded recording, there's something extra special about it from a technical standpoint. I've noticed that with dbx-encoded albums, during the quiet parts, it gets REALLY quiet! But then, when the dynamic range kicks in, you'd better watch out, or you might rattle the windows. dbx sure knows how to make the most of range expanders. The dbx encode/decode unit (in this case, the dbx 122) is a breeze to use, whether you're playing back a recording or encoding/decoding a tape. This particular album has all the classic elements of The Crusaders: Sample, Hooper, Felton, and Henderson play tight, solid, and really connect with each other musically. The addition of a symphonic orchestra for certain tracks just adds to the overall quality. Since it's a live album, the venue allowed the band to feed off the crowd's energy and vice versa. The songs were all previously recorded on other releases, but this album really showcases both the technology and the performers. You can't compare a studio recording to a live performance, but the dbx encode/decode technology and the performers themselves complement each other beautifully.

Plus, since this is a dbx-encoded recording, it's got that extra something special from a technical standpoint. I've noticed that with dbx-encoded albums, during the quiet parts, it's seriously quiet! But when the dynamic range kicks in, you'd better watch out, or you might find your windows rattling. dbx sure knows how to make the most of range expanders. The dbx encode/decode unit (in this case, the dbx 122) is a breeze to use, whether you're playing it back or encoding/decoding tapes. This recording is classic Crusaders: Sample, Hooper, Felton, and Henderson are tight, solid, and really feel each other musically. Throw in a symphonic orchestra for some tracks, and you've got an even richer sound. The venue where this was recorded (it's a live album, after all) let the band and the crowd feed off each other's energy. The songs were all previously recorded on other releases, but this album really shows off both the technology and the performers. You can't compare a studio recording to a live performance, but the dbx encode/decode technology and the band members complement each other beautifully here.
