If you're like me, there's certain artists that you always buy their albums. For me, artists like U2, King's X, and Larry Norman fall into this category. While there have been a few live albums that Larry's released that turned out somewhat disappointing, this isn't one of them. This is a live album in which Larry Norman utilizes a tight band as his backup talent and performs a full concert. Holland's Flevo Festival usually records the acts on main stage, and this is the second live Larry Norman CD to come out as a result. Beam does a solid job backing him up. We get a good sampling of both old and semi-recent Norman material. The super gem here is the final encore - "Jesus Freak." That's right, the song that Larry nailed down for The Mother Of All Tribute Albums is featured here in frenetic live fashion, even including some apropos ad-libs.
