It's only right that the world's all time greatest entertainer's last official live performance waited 56 years to be released. His music is the kind that gets better with time and like all forefathers he was more of a live performer than a recording artist. Even Louis Jordan's greatest albums are him interacting with other people on stage. So it makes sense that Armstrong, the then 66-years old trumpetist responsible for the world's first ever commercial hit in the form of "What a Wonderful World" would jump on stage singing and only after greet his audience while his band would back him up with a plethora of instrumental crescendos that had already pushed the pop sound onto an unsuspecting world. Sure, by 1968 his sound was no longer new, but instead it was a fine wine served on special occasions, its prestige, ironically, the kind of high-class bravura that pop itself--and "Pops" Armstrong himself--could do without. For a guy who loves live music but finds its recording quality often mushy when transmuted to a compact disc, it's a delight to hear such a well-made live album. This is thanks to technology and Pops' way of living on the stage more than anywhere else.
