Le son de ce bootleg est un peu voilé, mais pas si mauvais vu la date. Dans son speech d’introduction, Alex Chilton raconte qu’on vient de leur voler leur camionnette avec tout le matériel dedans. Le groupe joue devant un auditoire restreint, on pense au live 69 du Velvet Underground. Le concert est bon. Beaucoup de reprises au menu (Kinks, T. Rex) et, justement, une interprétation toute en émotion de Candy Says. "Remarkable that, along with his later cover of “Femme Fatale,” Chilton was so tuned in to the softer side of Lou Reed’s songwriting at this point in the 70s. Most of the proto-punk/punk scene focused on the other extreme of his stuff, right?  Big Star’s “Candy Says” is a loose affair (“We don’t know it very well,” Alex jokes), but as with most things the band touched, it’s gorgeous." (Aquarium Drunkard)
