"Another worthy archive MC 5 release brought to you from the folks at the Alive/Total Energy label.For some strange reason,it took time for me to land down a copy of this disc after it came out.With twelve cuts and a duration of seventy minutes,this proves to be a relatively long set,for the MC 5.The sound isn't perfect,but it's decent.Well,good enough for any REAL MC 5 fan.Starts off with "Kick Out The Jams" and "Come Together".As the gig progresses,one notices several covers,like James Brown's "Cold Sweat",Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" and Cream's "Born Under A Bad Sign".One of my all-time MC 5 favorites are here,"I Want You".Wanted to mention this appears to be a straight-on through concert.No snippets of the best of a half-a-dozen shows.Don't you hate it when bands do that?At least without noting it on the CD's back cover?A real find for MC 5 fans."

Good Live rock 'n roll

"This CD is pretty good... the quality isn't excellent, but overall it is a good example of the MC5 live. This CD was recorded before Kick Out the Jams... and it is a bit more raw than the album. I recommend this to a true fan of MC5... or rock and roll and pre-punk rock."

Noisey, live, raw

"This is noisey. The sound quality is not great, but it's good enough. Everything on here is heavy and wild. You get a nice cross-section of the 5's material-James Brown, Straight ahead hard rock, and wild heavyy rock takes on Jazz-this is a one of a kind."
