Recorded live on September 8, 1999, this is a decent document of Davie Allan in concert. Comprised mostly of original material, it includes his few familiar 1960s standbys ("Apache," "Blues Theme," and "The Born Losers Theme").

Recorded live on September 8, 1999, this is a decent document of Davie Allan in concert. Comprised mostly of original material, it includes his few familiar 1960s standbys ("Apache," "Blues Theme," and "The Born Losers Theme"). Perhaps he's heard enough of "Blues Theme" and "The Born Losers Theme" himself, as the pair are combined into a three-and-a-half-minute medley. There are also covers of "Peter Gunn," "Baby Elephant Walk," and the old Max Frost hit "Shape of Things to Come."

It's not quite all fuzz tone, either; on the closing ten-minute "The Missing Link," he unleashes a pretty wild array of special effects, at times creating a sensation akin to getting sucked into a wind tunnel. At moments like these, he almost sounds like the poor man's Link Wray, though it's doubtful any pun was intended by the song title "The Missing Link." ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
