Released a couple of years after their original Alive! album took the world by storm, this is an interesting mix.
When originally released as 2 albums, the fourth side contained new studio material (obviously the second half of the second CD here).
It was also recorded to ensure that none of the songs that appeared on Alive! would appear on here, thus not duplicating themselves.
The first CD is great. Detroit Rock City, Calling Dr Love, Love Gun and King Of The Night Time World are all great. The second CD is a real letdown. It doesn't keep up the same high standard as the first, and as a result, the whole package suffers. The studio material is pretty lame.
And this is what usually happens. When I ever put it on, it is only CD 1 that makes it to my stereo.
Rating : CD 1 - 4/5. CD 2 - 1/5. Overall 3/5.
