As you might expect, songs from his Stax homage Get Happy!! are featured prominently; hearing a full horn section blare out Steve Nieve’s organ hook from “Possession” is just one of the first and best “holy shit” moments the concert offers. There’s a one-two medley of the O’Jays’ “Backstabbers” and EC’s own “King Horse” that will leave you in a puddle on the floor. By the time the encore rolls up and the horns anchor a relentless, driving runthru of “Pump It Up,” I’m practically on my feet, even if I’m in the car, even if I’m driving it. I wish for time travel technology solely to travel to 1983 and attend this concert.

I've moved my Rekkids review "project" over to Popdose, at the gracious encouragement of Mr. Jeff Giles. Here's my first one over there, on a classic Elvis Costello bootleg.
