28. L.A. Guns / A Nite On The Strip. 2000. 3.5/5

Having recorded their previous album Shrinking Violet and started touring, there was a change in tact not long after, and former members Phil Lewis, Mick Cripps and Kelly Nickels suddenly returned to the group to reunite the band's classic lineup. From here, the tour reignited, and striking while the iron was hot, the band recorded this live album at the Key Club.
The resulting album and live set contained none of the songs from the previous two albums, reverting to material recorded only by this line-up. The price you pay when you are doing 'reunion' gigs.

There is a good vibe about the whole album. It acts as a 'greatest hits live' package, kicking off with "Face Down", and then into some of their best known and greatest tracks, "Sex Action", "One More Reason", "Kiss My Love Goodbye" and "Bitch is Back".
"Over the Edge" sounds better here than it does on the studio version, while there are songs in the back half of the concert, especially "Never Enough", "Nothing Better To Do" and "Rip N Tear".

Sometimes it is difficult to imagine how songs will translate from the studio to the live stage. This is a good effort in capturing the excitement and vibrancy of this band in their natural environment. The song selection is terrific, and the band appear to be enjoying themselves. Always a bonus when it comes to recording a live album. Worth a listen.
