I bought the cd and the dvd to this concert and popa just kicks ass. I have his other live concert on dvd and i believe this one might be a little better but they are both very good.This music is very raw i didnt know very many of the songs but got into them right away i love chubbys voice and his lyrics are one of a kind if you like straight ahead blues rock with a lot of guitar playing you should enjoy this very much. Thanks for reading.

I just can`t seem to get enuff of this great live cd.Popa chubby is right up there with some of the best blues guitar players out there.Why this guy is not more popular is a mystery to me.I would put him up there with joe bonammasa,and jimmy d lane.This is more rockin blues and you can tell he is hendrix influenced,but who isn`t.Buy this and it will not come out of your player.

While the songs on this CD are a little more reserved than I’ve come to expect from Popa, I find the CD to be very good. The one time that I saw him live he played a subdued first set and then proceeded to blow the roof off of the place in his second set. Still, I don’t think you can go wrong with a live offering from PC.

Having seen Poppa Chubby play live and having bought his other live CD, I bought this CD with high-hopes of listening to a hard-driving rock/blues piece of music. Instead, I found it to be an uninspiring, lacking in energy and intensity, and ho-hum live CD. Poppa doesn’t seem to be into it and neither does the audience. If you are looking for a gritty, loud, greasy, boisterous, blues/rock CD, this isn’t it.

Try again, Poppa. Next time, turn it up and let it rip.
