Review

This collection, which claims to be the best-of the Band in concert, is somewhat misleading. Not that the tracks here aren't excellent, but the inference is that they are drawn from this fine group's many live recordings, when in fact they all come from a single show the Band did on New Year's Eve in 1971, which was released as the double-album called Rock of Ages. This makes a good sampler of that show. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
