Gateway to the West
Louis, Missouri. Folks, THIS is Dan Fogelberg! I was in attendance at this live recording concert in the Fabulous Fox Theater in St. Though I love listening to the recording and watching the show over and over again, NO MEDIUM can do Dan Fogelberg or Tim Weisberg justice! This was a once in a lifetime event that had to be experienced in person! R. I. P. Dan. We all miss you!.


Great Live CD
The song I love the most is "Road Beneath My Wheels" the guitar playing is so impressive that it blew me away. I became a fan of Dan Fogelberg back in 1980 with Phoenix, but this live CD is a classic. Talk about talent!!!!
This is considered one of my top 10 Live Recordings!!!.


Fine performance but song selection weak overall
At the time of its release, I was excited to hear that Fogelberg was putting out a live album. . until I actually saw which songs were included on it. While I enjoy several cuts from this album, overall I am dissapointed with the song selection. There is nothing from "Home Free" or "Nether Lands," albums that include some of Fogelberg's best songs. Not only are these two records ignored, but many of the songs that are included are ones that are not among his best. Indeed, this live performance felt a little too much like a "Greatest Hits" album, one that usually does not include the best material an artist has to offer but, instead, includes songs that received the most radio play. There are, however, fine moments in the performance, one being Tim Weisberg's guest appearance for three tunes and another being Fogelberg's surprising display of acoustic slide ability on "Road Beneath My Wheels. " Fogelberg needed to put out a live album at this time in his career. It's just too bad that he did not spend more time deciding what and what not to include on it.


Enchanted
This live albun covers an evening that held me enchanted and enthralled as I listened to all the old favorites (and some new favorites!) with a fresh twist. I have been a Fogelberg Fan since the mid '70's and his work still does something for me. This is his second best album next to "The Innocent Age".


A Gem Among Live Albums
Having been a Fogelberg Fan since 1977, I was thrilled by this release in 1991. Listening to this album "over & over" again (to use one of its track titles) still makes me sad that Dan never supported his European sales with the odd tour over here. It captures Dan Fogelberg doing what he does best, enchanting the audience with his musicality and his emotions. This is a brilliant live album that will never sound "dated", and I also highly recommend the excellent video version of this (again, sadly only available in the US format which will not play on standard European VCR's).
