From the New York Times...

 

 

 

Live shows can be an iffy proposition especially for hip hop. And with a nine man group like Wu-Tang Clan, the execution and results can be unwieldy and raucous, like the act itself. Yet the guys succeed in spadees on this live concert recorded during this past summer. Here GZA, RZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, and the rest of the gang deliver rhymes in tag team fashion, creating the spectacle one would expect from a rock band. Even in a West Coast setting where this concert was recorded, the Staten Island group still maintained its East Coast cred by play the hits and crowd faves. Brutal, funny, and bold--Wu-Tang is still a force to be reckoned with.
