The live TOP SHeffield recording,"Direct", received a one-star rating from allmusicguide...not the end all...but not good either...this was based soley on the performance...
Phasecorrect-
I find allmusicguide helpful in cataloging artists and their work. However, their ratings and opinions of what is "best" or "representative" of an artist's work invariably differs from mine. I never let their rankings deter me.
Phasecorrect, If that reviewer was implying a poor performance by the use of such a rating, I would have to assume one of two things... either said reviewer was sleeping, of forgot to turn on their amplifier while auditioning.

I really don't think there is such a thing as a poor performance from T of P. They are an incredibly polished group of musicians that will put on an unbelievable performance at any venue.
