48. Black Label Society / Alcohol Fueled Brewtality Live + 5. 2002. 4.5/5.

Oooohhh! This was the first taste I had of Black Label Society live, and it just enhances their reputation.
As if the albums themselves hadn't been enough. Once you hear Zakk and the boys playing them live, you can never listen to them the same way again. This is the way Black Label Society songs are supposed to be heard – live, loud and heavy.

I must admit that I would never have expected Zakk's vocals to sound so good live, but they are just perfect for his songs, and he doesn't miss a beat singing and playing. His guitaring, as always, is just brilliant.

Not to forget the “+5” here as well. Zakk's version of Snowblind is a classic in itself. Just bloody brilliant!

Rating : You gain an even greater appreciation for this band when you have heard them live. 4.5/5.
