DEEP: A complete and much improved recording of the Oklahoma
City soundboard tape, although not up to the standards we've come
to expect from boards these days. The sound, in fact, fits the
event, giving it a mangy kind of dust-bowl and tumbleweed type
vibe. The unique Desire sound is captured on stage, running
the gamut from the raunchy rock blues of "Maggie's Farm"
to the soul-searching, almost plaintive "Going Going
Gone," from the mystical sound of "Isis" to the
countrified and jaunty "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You
Go." Just listen..... oh, and the filler.
rmd: Highly, highly recommended. Not quite up to the
standard of Hold The Fort (For What
It's Worth, the definitive 1976 disc, but a very close
second -- and several of the individual tracks are better!
