Summary: Chunk in the gravy!
Comment: Let me just start off saying to "C. G. Frier" and his review, that they are coasting. He must be a new comer to the band. The reason they are playing material from the older albums is obvious. Joie and Merv are playing in this show. Basically original members who played in the headiest early periods. I didn't even know they were back. So I would not imaging that they would play anything but songs they helped write or new stuff in the mix. Ever heard of Eat Static?
All I can say it is a real treat to see Merv back behind the drum kit and Joie twiddling away on the keys. Oh Yeah!
Oh and Brandy does some whaling justice on the bass too!
I have all their live stuff and don't listen to it much, they are just not recreatable live at home. This on the other hand is so close, with the spacey parts between songs, so close. Sunrise Jam is amazing, worth the price alone.
Either you get the Ozrics or you don't. If you do then get this one.

Summary: Excellent as always.
Comment: I didn't even know they were releasing this, so it was a great surprise. I can't say there is anything new here as they play live very much like the studio recordings, but it's still great stuff as always. The DVD is a great bonus.

Summary: Interesting show but DVD is odd
Comment: I wasn't blown away by this particular performance (prefer Pongmaster DVD over this one) but I had an odd experience with the DVD and wanted to pass it along. My copy makes the worst racket when it is spinning in the player. Actually loud enough to distract from music unless you have it cranked up. I tried it in all 3 of my players with the same result, so I'm not sure why that is. I've never run into this before. If anyone else runs into the same issue, I'd love to know about it. I knocked a star off for that alone and another for just a mediocre performance (IMO).

Summary: Outstanding!!
Comment: This is one of the best live recordings of Ozric Tentacles I've heard, and I have heard many. This CD also has three of my favorites: Jurassic Shift, Eternal Wheel, and Tidal Convergence. The song list that Amazon.com provides doesn't include Tidal Convergence, but it's on there. However, the CD does not have The Throbbe.
This CD also comes with a DVD of the same show, which includes all of the songs including The Throbbe. It is great to see Joie and Merv again, and Brandi Wynne does an outstanding job of filling Zia's shoes. This particular show is a bit more loose than other shows that the Ozrics have performed, and on the DVD they all seem somewhat frantic on stage. It must have been a hectic gig.
However, I'm very happy with this product, and it's available at a great price as well. This is one of my favorite Ozric CDs.
