This album was recorded at Sweden Rock Fest in 2024 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the band. Nine songs are played here, eight of which are from the band’s first album. I loved the first album. It’s regarded as a bit of a Scandi classic in hair metal circles, and what better place to celebrate than at the Sweden Rock Festival – probably the best festival in the world for this type of music.
It’s a raw warts n’ all recording but it works perfectly and that’s how it should be. Maybe there are some BV’s on a backing track, but that’s it. If you have the first album then you know which are the bangers. Loaded Gun, She Drives Me Crazy, Rock N’ Roll City, and We’re Wild, Young & Free are all great songs and it’s cool to hear them done live.
This is a limited pressing so I’m not sure how easy it is to grab a copy.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
