Comment:	Larry appeared at Flevo several times. His 1980 performance was recorded and broadcast on the radio but none of the tracks feature here (even though a few tracks from the 1980 concert were officially released by GMI elsehwere). The 1989 concert was also filmed and broadcast on Dutch TV but there is no sign of an official DVD release of that concert. Despite those drawbacks you can't argue much with either of the Flevo CDs. Both show Larry mixing new takes on some of his better known songs with material which was either new at the time (My Feet Are on The Rock, Nightmare #49 (Part One), He Really Loves You in 1989 and Heaven Wants To Bless You, Let It Go and the rewritten Bombs from 1998) or recently released but nit too well known at the time (Twelve Good Men and Everybody Work from the 1989 set and Goodbye Farewell and 2 stand out songs from 1991's Stranded in Babylon album from 1998). In 1989 you got straight ahead blues and rock and roll arrangements with Q-Stone except for a few quiet numbers in the middle. 1998 saw a more adventurous approach with Beam, there are some very good guitar solos here, one or two of the songs don\'t quite work out but the grungey reworking of Six Sixty Six is a triumph (not a banjo anywhere to be heard this time round!). Its also worth pointing out that although there were too many live albums from Larry that in every decade he released a few excellent live albums that are worth tracking down eg: Restless in Manhattan (recorded in 1972), Wounded Lion (recorded in 1977 with Alwyn Wall Band and Norman Barratt), Snapshots of the '77 World Tour (new Zealand 1979!), Stop This Flight (1985), Live At Flevo With Q-Stone (1989), Totally Unplugged Volume 1 (recorded 1992) Shouting In Ths Storm (1998), The Vineyard (1999) and Rough Diamonds, Precious Jewels (2001 - 20 year retrospective on LN's Belfast concerts)
