    You'll wish you'd been there. You'll wish it would never end.

    This was Fela on classic form.

    This is not exciting music; it's a hypnotically paced political screed.

    It is a mostly great show, though not all dynamite.

    He doesn't sound very dangerous. Just glad to be out. [ Aug 2012, p.55]

    The sound quality isn't ideal, but Fela's bruising music is.

    The two hours and four tracks of Love In Detroit capture the mood and excitement of a Fela show during this second phase of his career. [Jun 2012, p.93]

    While it isn't all great, most of it is, and while this isn't the best way for newcomers to acquaint themselves with Fela Kuti's music, it is an essential document for fans.

    There's still no room for the instrumental warm-up, so don't throw out that original bootleg. [Jun 2012, p.99]
