Reception

[edit]

"Live" received mostly negative reviews from critics, With AllMusic reviewer Jason Kaufman giving it a 1 and-a half start rating, saying "This concert document seems about as necessary as a pet rock." while adding, "Even with spacy songs like "Who's Got the Herb?," the blatant Santana rip-off guitar solos of "Nix Hex," and "Homebrew," the experience isn't good enough for a contact high associated with the best, or even semi-competent, live albums."
