"A fine live performance of the Igster in action,while out on tour and all.However,it's the EXACT same show that's been released as 'King Biscuit'(see my review).The same sixteen tracks,just a different,and I guess a better cover.For completists ONLY and I do mean only."

Rougher Version

"This is the original release of this show. The mix is a bit weird, and the vocals are out front with the guitars mixed low. The later release was remixed and doesn't have this issue. This version has one song not on the "King Biscuit" version (Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell); that version has two songs not on this version (Winners and Losers/Scene of the Crime & Cold Metal). So, if you want the complete show, you still need both versions.



As for the performance, it is top-notch. Iggy is very vocal between songs, more so than on any other recording I've heard from this tour. Even songs that were medicore on the album (Squarehead, Easy Rider, High on You) shine in their live incarnations."
