First pressing, signed boldly by Rollins in black marker pen on the front cover, "Best wishes, Sonny". This live double album was recorded at the Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, across three dates in April 1978. Sonny is accompanied by Donald Byrd (trumpet), Mark Soskin (keyboards), Aurell Ray (guitar), Jerry Harris (bass), the drummer is the great Tony Williams. This is a typically stylish Milestone production. Cook & Morton described the, partly electric, band as "mismatched" but concede that the album has "two great set-pieces, a ravishing 'Autumn Nocturne' and a fine display of virtuosity on 'Silver City'". The former, at a little over six-and-a-half minutes, has Sonny in total solo command for much of its length, at times scouring the tune for inspiration and throwing quotes - sometimes affectionately, sometimes sardonically - hither and yon, but ultimately with a bursting-at-the-seams romanticism and profound affection for an old Tin Pan Alley favourite. Richard Cook & Brian Morton, The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings, ninth edition, 2008, **(*); Discogs website. 2 12-inch vinyl LPs (Milestone M-55005), new plain paper sleeves (original sleeves also present), original gatefold album cover.
