The review

This title presents two concerts, both in soundboard quality. The first one featured Ten Years After at the Hungerthon Benefit Concert held in New York on a marathon from 18th through 19th November 1989. The band that had reformed recently was about to present a new album and hit the stage playing just 4 songs. This recording is excellent and presents the whole set. Mick Taylor was rumoured to have been part of the set but there is no indication that he did join them on stage. He was however present at the second concert by The Alvin Lee Band at Kiel 8 years before in November 1981. This 4 song set is part of a concert that was supposedly broadcasted by FM Radio and has recently surfaced. Both concerts are soundboard recordings and play well, deserving a silver release.
