The music bed, at least, is outstanding. One of the songs I show to any drummer I'm about to work with about the kind of drumming I like.
Topper is great on it. I remember a Terry interview where he said that song was too hard for him to learn. Too bad everything else on it is a clusterfuck.
The instrumentation and arrangement are pretty great as well.
Okay, all the vocals are god awful except Joe/Mick's little backing vocals.
I quite enjoy Paul's struggling-to-pass-his-ESL-final-exam approach.
Hah!

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yeah those vocals are way too forced. Really great tune though.
