Spring Standards, Masters of Stage & Studio
by DrLenny on 9/18/12Mercury Lounge - New YorkFollowing the release of Yellow Gold, I was amazed how this album demanded repeated listening. So much creativity packed into each track, absolutely no filler here. I was brought back to the Beatles post-Rubber Soul era. Bringing us back to the current tour, supporting this complex recording in a live setting will always be a challenge. So depending on the capability of the sound board and house system, YMMV. That said at Mercury Lounge, the technical achievement allowed the powerful humanistic sensibility of this band to transport the whole room. Guess you could say I rather liked it.
