Captured at the very summit of their powers back in the mid to late 70s, this double LP is the sound of the classic Ohio Players lineup doing exactly what they did better than almost anyone, namely playing funk and r&b with a physicality and tightness that you never really manage to get in studio sessions. 'Love Rollercoaster', 'Skin Tight' and a genuinely extraordinary 31-minute version of 'Fire' anchor a set that showcases why this band sold platinum and why their influence never really went away. The performances are expansive and sweaty in exactly the right measure, so this is an essential slab from one of the great American live acts doing their thing in real time.
