Review

Steve Howe and Steve Hackett's GTR was one of the shortest-lived supergroups, releasing only one album in 1986 and breaking up a year later. During that year, they gave a handful of concerts, and the live King Biscuit Flower Hour captures their virtues quite well, arguably even better than the studio record. Not only are highlights from GTR are featured, but so are Yes' "Roundabout" and Genesis' "I Know What I Like," as well as the previously unreleased song "Prize Fighter." Both guitarists are in fine form, and their solos are generally jaw-droppingly accomplished and musical -- in fact, they're so good, it's easy to overlook the fact that GTR's songs were frequently underwritten and unmemorable. For Howe and Hackett fans, this King Biscuit Flower Hour is certainly worthwhile. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
