I THINK this is the same as the oop King Biscuit set, which sadly wasn't all that good. If this is the same release, I suggest buying Live At Carnegie Hall instead.

The King Biscuit sets I have were recorded in 1977 at the Royal Albert Hall. When first issued they were called "King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents In Concert:Renaissance". There were 2 separate discs issued. When the sets were reissued in 2003 they were called :Renaissance:Greatest Hits Live".

I downloaded this new set, and I like it.
The Carnegie Hall stuff is very good

Thanks for the correction. I am now interested. Can you tell from the download how the sound quality is? Cleo's live stuff tends to vary.

The sound is quite good. I haven't listened to the Carnegie Hall sets in a while, but I find this satisfying.

That has to be the ugliest cover I ever saw. :shock: Especially in contrast to one of the most beautiful female voices in music. How diabolic! :ohno:

This one is from a WNEW-FM broadcast. It's a good one.
