  Here's a review I found on the record-fiend blog.

The show kicks off with the droning "Spirit of America," which at first appears to be going nowhere, but then sorta nicely settles in the head with a minimal almost-krautrock vibe, plus with some scrappy axe choppin' from Rainbow. Sky does some fine ranting about saving the crowd from their "living hell" and even an inept drum solo (drummer credited only as "ED"...hmmm) doesn't ruin things. The album really takes the listeners to the gig with between-song crowd heckling kept intact, as one ornery audience member yells "Shave your beard!" Sky says "Not for 100,000 dollars," but eventually retorts "Only for a million dollars"--god, hair, and well, $, man. My fave cut on the disc is track 4, a weary, ragged version of "Can't Seem to Make you Mine," with gorgeous, gospel-style, rhodes-y organ provided by Brian Eye-Zen. The track is excellently rendered as a lament, a paean to loss and everything out of reach--perhaps to Sky's non-enduring fame? Rainbow's scuzzy Crazy Horse-style guitar only enhances the vibe. Another Seeds' classic is included, "Pushin Too Fast," uh...that's right, "Fast," as Sky moans, "We had to change the title." I've read that the Seeds record label owned the rights, which is pretty sad. Unsurprisingly, Sky Sunlight also liberally changes the lyrics to the tune, and sounds a bit uninspired, though some pissed-off shouts punctuate the performance. Side 2 kicks off with the snotty cave-teen anthem "Nobody Spoil My Fun," which features some crunchy-ass noisy guitar and metronomic drumming, which somehow makes it in sync with Cabaret Voltaire's version of "No Escape," which had to have been recorded around the same time. The next cut, "Wake Up" is simply sublime, some lovely pastoral garage rock, spiritually akin to the simplicity of the Velvet Underground's 1969 live material...the keys flow, the guitar is spikey yet melodic, but then Sunlight throws in some odd shout-outs to coconuts, veggies and dogs..? Ah well, I dig it. The LP closes with the 7 1/2 minute epic, "Star Jewels," which picks up where the spacier Seeds' "Future" material left off (a great album, despite what so-called rock purists say). Here Sky sounds like a cool old mystic incanting over the 3-chord dirges he was simply born to chant over. A buried Stooge-ian riff propels it all, and the whole thing spirals divinely into but a single chord freakout...whew!

There's also a very brief review in the Acid Archives book and an expanded review in the Lama Workshop section of  lysergia  which can be found online.
