Hardly anything here to really capitalize on as far the need for Tim being ripe for a Live outing goes...

As overblown & over-dubbed as most other acts of Weisberg's breed, taking their comfortable, cozy, studio-based mush to the stage...

A mystery why it reached so high on the charts as it did, but still not within the Top-20, merely reflects the impression that Live albums such as this are much better left for "serious" Jazz artists or best left to Rock groups...

Even in the intimate setting Hollywood's Troubador has to offer...!
