ONE OF THE BEST LIVE ALBUMS EVER.
It's very raw, straight and fun. This is how a live album should sound.

If you own the rest of their discography, the live versions are great and faster. For example, "We're Not Gonna Take It" is much better than the studio version, this is probably how it should sounded from the beginnig, "Stay Hungry" sounds great too, "I Am, I'm Me" is much better alive. It's a shame that live versions from albums like "Love Is For Suckers" and "Come Out & Play" don't even exist. Hopefully one day. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Although not very well produced and short on budget (I guess) this stands out as one of the best live album I have ever heard. They even included live versions of "Jailhouse Rock" and "Train Kept a Rollin" from a 79 concert.

TWISTED SISTER really knows how to handle the crowd. If you haven't seen them alive, now that they are back don't miss it. It's great. They came to the MetalFest in Monterrey in 2004 and they were the last act. . . . . . . . . . After 3 opening bands and then Dokken, Quiet Riot and Dio I thought that there was nothing left and the crowd would start to leave the place (I mean, 8 HOURS on a concert it's something to get the crowd off), well, nothing of this happened, when TS came on stage it was as if the concert was starting and the pump of the crowd and the band was like magic. UNFORGETTABLE.

You want a great live album? Buy this one. And don't listen to anyone that says something different. Listen this one for yourself.

Highlight: We're Not Gonna Take It, Stay Hungry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Almost everysong on the record.
Lowlight: They didn't include "The Price".

Gender confusion + 3 chords = comedy!
He's one of those guys who looks back on his own band's hilarious discography and repeatedly pronounces it as "great" and "important" without even a trace of irony. Dee Snider is the best. In their defense, never before TS have four Revlon-damaged construction workers come up with such catchy anthems as "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "Under The Blade", and you have to respect for a guy who dressed like THAT and still managed to convince millions of Midwestern, pubescent teenage boys that he was "tough". Thanks to having a co-worker who's obsessed with this album, I know it so well I can (and often do) perform the in-between song raps. Sometimes you have to feed your inner-hesher, and this will do it, have no doubt.
