Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.

53 /100
Lowland
Higher than 3% of albums we've rated

A capable live set whose familiar older songs provide strong anchors, while the jumps between eras keep it from feeling like a tightly shaped album.

What we noticed

  • The set opens with older material, moves through three 1980s songs, then places “The Wizard,” “July Morning” and “Easy Livin’” together in the middle.
  • The later songs return after that classic run, with “Gypsy” appearing near the end before two more 1980s tracks close the set.
  • The 13-song running order alternates between early-era staples and newer material rather than building around one album or period.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
