Great live look at a under appreciated band

"A good collection of some of emmett swimming's better songs, with a couple of covers thrown in( The Police, Billy Bragg) for good measure. Recorded over two days early in the year, it shows the strengths of a band that deserves a bigger audience that it currently has. Definitely recommended for any fans of good, straight ahead rock."

"Emmet Swimming is a rare gem in rock/pop music. They unapologetically make great albums. No one seems to respect great albums anymore. They've now put out 5 albums and I can only think of one or two songs out of the 60+ that I would even consider skipping when I listen to them. I usually don't like live albums, but this one delivers in a major way. WAKE UP WORLD!!! (Actually while the world sleeps I get to see them in little clubs in North Carolina like the Cat's Cradle, and the Brewery. So maybe it's alright.)"

The best live album to get ever!

"This is a great way to experience Emmet's live sound when ever you want. They are one of the best live bands that I have ever had the pleasure to see. And over the years they have gotten better and better. And the couple of covers on this album also shows their talents, to make someone else's song their own. I love the Police's So Lonely cover, and it's a suprise to see how well Eric and sing."
