CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Recorded live in Barcelona in 1998 as the band promoted their farewell studio release, 'Success', with a set composed mostly of material from that album and its predecessor, 'Amazing Disgrace'. The raw quality of a live environment provides contrast to the polished album versions of tracks like 'Flavor of the Month' and 'Broken Record,' making this a worthwhile release for any true fan. Also included are an absolutely frantic rendition of 'Grant Hart' and a memorable version of Cheap Trick's 'Surrender'. From Badman Records. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsRawness and passion 04/27/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This live album recorded in Barcelona (with extensive liner notes by Ken Stringfellow) captures the band the way I always wished their studio albums had: all is rawness and passion regardless of perfect pitch and time." Finally, a great live rock album with no overdubs! 09/10/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "It seems some of you out there have been jaded by those shimmering, "just like the record only with clapping and more reverb" live albums that are more overdubs than live. A real live rock band who is jumping off amps and running across the stage with reckless abandon will sound like this record - Raw and Balls Out - especially when playing at the venues described in the liner notes (one had a stage made of sheets of plywood and oil drums). If you are a fan of The Posies beyond Failure and Dear 23, BUY THIS CD! It's loud, it rocks, and it's The Posies, what more could you want? It even sounds like they're having fun! Imagine that, a rock band actually enjoying themselves! I gave it four stars instead of five only because I can't stand the song "Broken Record", but the cover of "Surrender" is hilarious; one unabashed rock show cliche after another, and the live version of "Please Return It" is much better than the album version. Enough said. Except that you should make sure to get the acoustic live album which is excellent (although not as good as they were in NYC near the end of the tour) and also the amazing Jon Auer solo record. Pray to your God that these guys keep putting out records."
