This album is lots of fun! I wore out this cassette back in highschool ('88-'92), repurchased the cassette in college and have since then picked it up on CD. If there is one album you need from the Descendents, it's Livage.
This album has such a great vibe. It's fast, upbeat, funny and has tons of great tracks. A much better album than Hallraker.
Do yourself a favor. . . grab a tall cup of coffee and pop in this disc. You won't be disappointed!.
The Jump Off.
This was the record that in the age of Grunge turned my young, impressionable mind to real rock and roll. This is the record that inspired me to listen to real punk rock. No one knows me or cares about my opinion, but I would be remiss if I did not post my feelings about the most important record I ever listened to. Thanks Milo, now go cure cancer.
The Descendents live..Could it be any better than this?
For me,live albums are little more than a band's excuse to milk the public for money,not to mention the arrogance of the group in question's assumption that every schmuck with ten extra dollars would go right out and plop it down for their slab o'plastic. Let me start this review by saying that almost without exception,I hate live albums. Then'there's the feedback,onstage mistakes,and usual stupidity of people in a group. That didn't happen with the Descendents Liveage album. This is as close as one could possibly get to perfection without actually having been there yourself. In fact,in a rare occurrence,the Descendents play almost all of the songs I would have asked them to play had I selected the songs. Yes,a few songs aren't on the album,but MAN,what a setlist. "Silly Girl,"perfectly played by Egerton,to me sounds even better live than it did on the original album,and my personal favorites "Clean Sheets"and Pervert"are absolutely excellent. And in this case,the audience participation actually added to the performance,not detracted from it,especially the guy that shouted "I have"during "All-O-Gistics. "Well done gents,well done indeed. Folks,buy this album. . You will NOT be disappointed.
This is one of the best live records ever!
No records had resume enough good the energy of a band live on stage! The Descendents were probably the best punk-rock band to see live! This live CD contain all of their hits with all their live energy, well, that's awesome!.
THE TEMPLATE LIVE PUNK CONCERT: Descendants 'Liveage'
in Minneapolis, Minnesota probably has a good story to tell about the experience. Anyone who has ever had the opportunity to see their favorite band(s) perform at the historic First Ave. The Descendants performance could easily be included.
Bashing out tunes like 'Silly Girl' and 'I'm Not A Loser' stand as a form of template for up-and-coming aggressive punk go-getters with pubic hair counts in the single digits.
BOTTOM LINE: GREAT PUNK SHOW. A MUST HAVE.
