Great folk revival concert
Great performance with some of the best folk tunes of the era. Mono, just as many Kingston Trio discovered concerts are, but it’s also what you’d have heard in the seats

The last recording of a wonderful lineup
This is the last recording of the best lineup of the Kingston Trio since the 1960s. It’s all new material instead of another collection of remakes. These guys were summarily “retired” and replaced with a lineup that can barely play, and do only remakes. So grab this album to see the full potential of a “Kingston Trio” format!

An uneven foray into folk-rock, but classic anyway
PP&M we’re surrounded by the Beatles and by folk-rock by 1966 when this was recorded. The next 2 albums largely departed from traditional acoustic guitar and bass, with mixed results. This recording has some of that folk rock, but is most successful in the tracks with the old formula. The Good Times We Had, Mon Vrai Destin, and Kisses Sweeter Than Wine are classics. Adding Dobro to Pack Up Your Sorrows was a master stroke. But Hammond organ etc on other tracks just detracts from their signature sound. A bit uneven, but with many splendid songs. B+ overall.
