Big sounding set from the quintet of Matthew Valentine, Erika Elder, Doc Dunn, Muskox and J.Mascis.  Bit of an archival release with a set recorded at Club Soda, Montreal, QC from back in January 2010 with a 800 capacity venue support slot for Dinosaur Jr. Quite a short set at 35 minutes which given the nature of the set does not have quite the same level of experimentation as a full-on MV&EE show but some great extended psychedelic jams on this one. The set opens with a great version of "Cold Rain" which probably sounds closest to some classic 1969-era "Dark Star" from the Grateful Dead. Some great weaving and intertwined guitar between the various players including some delightful melodic bass. Towards the end the songs picks up building into an almost kosmische vibe or even Neu! type groove. Next is the set's highlight which is a fantastic jam on "Get Right Church" with the rhythm section really coming into its own providing that classic 70s tight but loose feel. Some great lazy drums fills mixed with some crashing symbols and the bass playing sounding somewhere between Larry "The Mole" Taylor of Canned Heat and Bill Cox from the various Hendrix outfits.  In fact the Band of Gypsys is quite a close comparison here with a real groove to some of the jams which sound so effortless and fluid. Over the top there is some tremendous psychedelic blues jam guitar from MV - my kinda stuff that I would happily listen to for hours. This segues into quite a different version of "Environments" which has a real space rock or kosmische jam feel to it. Long, mellow drawn out feedback with J.Mascis playing lots of cymbal work and snare-brushing over the top. The set closes with a 'big-sounding' version of "Summer Magic". I really like the massively amplified whispered vocals from Erika during the chorus which is quite different from previous live versions and gives it quite a haunting feel. Towards the end this breaks into another extended electric guitar jam - if this is your kind of stuff then you should check this set out. Overall a set which runs: "Cold Rain", "Get Right Church" into "Environments" into "Summer Magic".  A real 70s-vibe classic guitar jam based around a solid rhythm section in the style of Canned Heat, Hendrix and The Allman Brothers Band with some space rock thrown in the mix.  Also love the classic 70s rock double-live album cover shot with the full stage lights behind all the guitarists. It's recommended. – Andrew Ross.
