Digital remastering of this live recording from My Father's Place, New York, on June 19, 1979, from the high-quality stereo soundboard master. This rare performance, released just after the release of "Night of the Living Dregs," offers a timeless, crystal-clear sound. Shortly after this performance, the Dregs' record company went bankrupt. Although they managed to move to a new label, they were swept up in the chaotic music industry of the 1980s and became literal "victims." It's no exaggeration to say that 1979 marked their golden age, a pinnacle of their career, as they were able to fully express their limitless musical freedom and unparalleled performance talent. The stunning live performance captured on this concert speaks volumes. Opening with "Odyssey," the band's dynamic playing is breathtaking, and the ever-changing stage progressions clearly demonstrate the band's depth. Tracks like the over 10-minute "Cruise Control" are truly breathtaking, encapsulating their entire appeal.
