This album is fantastic! It is by far one of the best sounding live albums I've heard. Simon does a great job on all the sings that he didn't originally sing on as well. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that because it is digital only and the songs are downloaded individually there is about a second of silence between songs. On a studio record that wouldn't be a problem, but on a live record where the songs flow seamlessly into each other the second of silence takes you out of the live experience a bit. Overall though, that is a minor complaint and the songs are fantastic live.

Really good self released effort to remember the shows of the last tour. One little thing you need to have in mind for the next one: the 16 tracks can't be recorded on one CD so you may have this in mind to master the final tracks with fades so we can burn our CDR's properly (or cut some stuff to get all the music in one CDR). Anyway, great live sh**t!!!! Cheers from Argentina (again!!!)...

A great souvenir of the 2013 tour. Saw them in Los Angeles and they put on a kick-ass, high energy show. Long, generous set list, too. Every song you could want to hear is here. Sure, Simon’s voice cracks in a few places and there are some high notes that are just out of reach but this is a raw, unedited live performance. They had been on tour for a while at this point, probably with little sleep. These are demanding songs even when you’re not running around on stage and singing 16 songs in a row. I really hope he stays with the band.
The band sounds really tight. They do a good job with the backing vocals live and the recorded sound of the instruments is excellent. Any time the guitar drops out and it’s just bass and drums I picture Peter swaying back and forth in that red leather jacket. Maritn is one of the best guitar players out there. I like that he doesn’t go for all the Yngwie noodlie-noodlie crap that helped kill rock music for the fans that didn’t play guitar. He plays rock guitar right—octaves and harmonics but no whammy bar a la Joe Perry or Slash. With some live albums you really miss the overdubs when there’s only one guitar player in the band but here it never feels like anything’s missing. Eric is an outstanding drummer and as much as I love drum solos, like most fans I’d rather hear another song so kudos for that, too.
The world really needs a band like Crashdiet right now. It seems like the only good rock music left in America are the snippets we hear in movies and T.V. commercials. It takes hearing “Back in the New York Groove?? in a DiCaprio movie to remember what a great song that was—you’ll never hear it on the radio again. Many bands have the look but not the chops to back it up or might play great but not have the songs (Dream Theater). They might borrow a lot of their song titles from other bands but Crashdiet are original and current and I hope they come back to Los Angeles again soon. And next year the Wiltern instead of the Whisky!

To start very easy download, I think the album sounds great for a live cd, I know it was many different shows combined into one cd. The mastering I think was done very well, as an album it sounds very good. // Actually it was only one show, the one in Stockholm! Thanks for the review! Cheers //LONDON
