One of the best live albums to come out of Canada in the early 70's, Larger Than Life ( And Live’r Than You’ve Ever Been ) is a testament to the popularity and prowess of one of Canada’s top blues rock bands and an essential addition any rock fans music library despite the recording flaws in the recording. Unfortunately this reissue by Unidisc does not contain any extra tracks or additional liner notes but the sound quality is considerably improved over the original vinyl format.
