I could save everyone’s time by just writing BUY THIS ALBUM and that would indeed be correct but a tad lazy on my part.
The band are filled out on this recording by the addition of a second guitarist in Bruce Bouillet. Just to prove how over the top this band are, this is a single disc recording and there are four solo spots on the album – everyone in the band is a virtuoso musician in their own right. I’m a big fan of all things guitar, and I’m a huge fan of Paul Gilbert and he is all over this, but Bruce Bouillet is a revelation here also.
This is one band I would have loved to have seen live, and this is as close I’m going to get. This recording represents a live testament to the first two Racer X albums, which are great, and it’s awesome to hear how tight the band are.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
