The studio album didn't work, but Beck Bogert & Appice's Live in Japan is a bit of a better bet, since it captures more of their interplay, thereby giving a better idea of why Bogert decided to embark on this particular project. Still, this is constrained by its ham-fisted arena rock and middling material, and, like the studio album, remains primarily of interest to the diehards (especially since it was only released in Japan).
