Here are some snippets of my reviews from Moose Loose's two studio albums: "Moose Loose's debut Elgen Er Løs is a powerful fusion album, that mixes in funky clavinet lines with some ferocious electric guitar leads, playing in an almost psychedelic style... Here they sound like a cross between No Mystery era Return to Forever and mid 70s Jean-Luc Ponty. And despite the song title, Moose Loose have definitely downplayed the funky aspects of their sound. In fact this first track does begin to tell the story of Transition, as the title of the album is also descriptive."
This live outing predates their debut - and combines both of the above albums. There's very little of the funk element, while the band performs in a more traditional jazz rock setting. The guitar, however, remains ferocious. This is guitar, electric piano, bass, and drums playing both high energy fusion and spatial jazz rock tunes. Organ is credited, but it's not a focus area. If all that sounds good, you'll want to get this. Bread and butter early jazz rock/fusion is what this is.
