"Live at the Regal" probably is a better record, it just doesn't have that "historical feel", or whatever the heck you want to call it.

Thanks Mark-"Live at the Regal" is supposed to be even better, so I have my sight sets on that.

Thanks, Mike P., for the comment. Great versions of "The Thrill is Gone" and a snarky "How Blue Can You Get."

I bought this out of a bargain bin many years ago, and loved it. Thanks for reminding me about what a great recording it is - I'll have to buy a copy now, to replace that long lost cassette!

is this the album where they mention the warden in the introduction and he is booed by the inmates? I always get a chuckle out of that.
