Hey, Mark Lajoie here.

We have now, after 47 years, put out an album of live performances! It took me awhile to figure out how to revive and/or enhance some of these. Several of them were recorded & salvaged by Joe Prunera and given to me many years ago and I had posted some of them on ReverbNation, hidden within the backlog of our many songs. Recently I began working on the live material; eventually, I had the idea that others should hear them. I'm no producer, and these are not of ideal quality for sure, for instance, "Roll the Rock Over" cuts off at the end; but it's undeniably a treasure to have these gems available to admire.

Some of the recordings capture the genesis or earlier version of the songs, like "Prodigal Song" or "Great Rock Road". Others are missing something in the mix: you can't hear the bass or the piano, etc. But each of these captures some of that live magic that we undeniably had, and the powerful strength of expression in that Best of All Messages.
On the cover you see our classic bus that took us to so many of those performances. We stopped doing regular concerts in the early 90's. The first song, Love in Arms, is actually pretty recent, recorded by Jim at our 2014 concert at St. Peter's for the Mellos. The others range from 1982 or so to a reunion concert in 2004.
The cuts flow immediately from one to the next:
1. Love in Arms
2. Roll the Rock Over
3. Prodigal Song
4. Carry On
5. Gigue de Lajoie/Do You Understand
6. Don't Run Away
7. Step Down
8. I'll Survive
9. Great Rock Road

What a JOY to hear this! Let us rejoice!

Peace & Love & JOY,
