Harry's best live album and robably best overall too. A great concert and well recorded. Such a shame he died so young. To sum up a Superb Album but be prepared to be moved.
Certain elements had to be re-recorded in the studio due to technical problems with the live recordings. The original LP release featured three new studio tracks, two of which ("She Is Always Seventeen" and "Love Is Just Another Word") were omitted from the CD release. A Better Place to Be" was released as a single, and did manage to crack the Billboard Hot 100 chart

His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle".
