The MC introduces Narada by saying that at the rehearsal, he was anxious to see if Narada was as good as he was 20 years before. He said,he was better! Not sure if I would go that far, but the older pudgy Narada kicks some serious ass on here. Aside from a poppin "Freeway of Love" & ruckus Purple Haze, this is earth shaking fusion gold-IMO. 

This is an MD production so the focus is mostly on the drummer. BTW- I would download almost anything with Ray Gomez or TM Stevens even without Narada.


enjoy
