Backed by Booker T. & the MG's on this Redding classic live album. For starters the sound isn't the best and the song tempos are off, but who the hell cares this live album is great!! All the hits are represented here. The wild raw energy of the concert comes out beautifully, loud horns, fast pace and the tremendous voice. What a show it must have been!! Otis's energy was at a all time high, coming off the buzz of showing the psychedelic generation who's still the boss at the Monterey Pop Festival. Unfortunately this record was the last release before Redding's death in a plane crash, but it's a great end to a great soul man's superb career, so show him some RESPECT! Deh-Nah-Neh-Nah-Neh!
