This triple album was part of a RSD release a couple of years ago. It was recorded at various venues from around the universe. Now that sneer can only get wee Billy so far, and after the minor success of Generation X (especially in America), he needed something (or someone) to give him the boost he needed. That boost came in the form of guitarist extraordinaire, Steve Stevens. This is emphasized right from the get go with opener, Postcards From The Past. A nice tune with amazing guitar. If you have seen Billy live he does put on a good show, but for me Steve Stevens steels it every time.
A good selection of tunes are represented from every corner of Billy’s career, but the best for me are the ones from Rebel Yell – especially Flesh For Fantasy, which is just sublime, and extended as a highlight piece of the show with Steve showing what he is best at. A nice rendition of The Doors classic, LA Woman, is aired. Surprisingly his vocals hold up really well here (he is not the best live as his voice does give out). The best reaction from the audience is for the hits that you’d expect, White Wedding and Rebel Yell. They are given the full treatment towards the end of the show.
Very enjoyable live album and recommend for everyone.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
