APHC Final Performance - a masterpiece and maybe the best November 20, 2006
Joseph B. Cohen (Brooklyn, NY United States)

This was intended to be Keillor's last show in 1991. It was not, to a lot of people's great relief. First there is the music - if ever there was a recording to match the guitar work of Chet Atkins and Leo Kotke in 'Sleepwalk' I've yet to hear it. The songs Keillor sings, sad songs, beautiful songs of endings and parting will break you heart. The last episode of the 'News from Lake Wobegon' is just astounding. You cannot miss the tone of a man saying goodby to a lifetime. The humor is what it always was, just plain wonderful. If you've got to leave, didn't want to, hoped you would come back you will hear it all here. Parhaps the finest show he's ever done.
SO beautiful, it'll make you cry. April 11, 2000

Keillor outdoes himself with this extra-long show. An artifact, a historical document, and a labor of love.
