Reception

The concerts on October 31, 1984 at The Ritz in New York City were given a positive review by Billboard . ^[3] The band's set at the Crack Down! concert in Madison Square Garden on October 31, 1986 was given a mostly positive review. In a review for The New York Times , Jon Pareles said that the band's new vocalist, Buddy Miles, "did not do much with the songs, but he delivered an impassioned version of his own 'Them Changes'." He also added that the band "worked up a percussive momentum during instrumental sections, particularly the climactic 'Black Magic Woman'". ^[4]
