Goodnite: Best of Walt Mink Live

I was at this show, and maybe part of the reason that I love this CD is because I can hear myself screaming in between songs. But honestly, I think that this album does a very good job capturing the joy that is a live Mink show, and I've been to dozens of them. If you haven't heard this band, then you haven't lived, and I am very excited for you! What a treat you have in store! But start out with the earlier records--Bareback Ride, Colossus, El Producto. LUCKY YOU!

I disagree with this being hailed as quintessential Mink. I felt that this was a letdown after seeing Walt Mink live. They were thoroughly better than this CD when I saw them. The CD came out no too too long after I had seen them live so the memory was still fresh and not softened by time. I NEVER listen to this, though I do keep it as part of my collection. If you must have Live Mink this is the way to go. If you love them and do not need 'Alternate versions' steer clear.Side note.The label on the CD is misleading. It lists, I beleive, Showers Down then Twinkle and shine. THey advertise this as 2 different songs when in fact it is a medley. It was confusing as the number of tracks are different than the number of tracks that are listed.
