It cannot be anything but 5 Stars. I was at all the Marquee gigs as well as Wrexham and every tour since. Without doubt one of the greatest live bands who knew how to stir up the audeince, the Hammersmith Cd was damn good but this is going to be better because its one of those shows where my distant memory still exists. Before these shows all we really had to go by was two TS (home produced singles, both now signed) and imported radio shows which feature music they never released even today. They stole the show and blew Wrexham apart. These guys were never a support act as no-one could ever really follow them

I had not heard them live in this era, before they were "big", but what a great surprise it is. They are SO heavy and strong, something like the MC5 meets a Sherman Tank. It's really fun to hear how intense and funny Dee Snider is between the songs, it's really half the show, how he includes the audience (rabid, you can tell) in their world. It's a rough and raw recording (varies in spots with a mic or two going out on the drums) but overall outstanding sound and power. Not slick, it sounds like you're right there in the 2nd row. Amazing show, check it out.
