    Live In Nash-Vegas is the title for this must-have to the Michael Knott / LSU collection. It's an acoustic concert recording with Steve Hindalong helping out on percussion. The setlist includes 16 hits, performed with grit and passion. The microphone from Mike's voice is a little too hot, but hearing his fine vocals loud and clear is not much of a problem. Highlights will be different for everyone, but I'll point out how good it is for doubters to hear Mike clearly articulate the concept of grace falling free on us in the tune "Grace." The raps before a few of the songs lend itself to the songs well, kinda like VH-1's Storytellers show. The slow songs sound beautiful with the acoustic instrumentation, and the fast tunes convey an amazing energy minus the electricity.
