Search - Twisted Sister :: Live at Hammersmith

ONE OF THE BEST LIVE ALBUMS EVER.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is how a live album should sound. It's very raw, straight and fun.



If you own the rest of their discography, the live versions are great and faster. For example, "We're Not Gonna Take It" is much better than the studio version, this is probably how it should sounded from the beginnig, "Stay Hungry" sounds great too, "I Am, I'm Me" is much better alive. It's a shame that live versions from albums like "Love Is For Suckers" and "Come Out & Play" don't even exist. Hopefully one day......................



Although not very well produced and short on budget (I guess) this stands out as one of the best live album I have ever heard. They even included live versions of "Jailhouse Rock" and "Train Kept a Rollin" from a 79 concert.



TWISTED SISTER really knows how to handle the crowd. If you haven't seen them alive, now that they are back don't miss it. It's great. They came to the MetalFest in Monterrey in 2004 and they were the last act..........After 3 opening bands and then Dokken, Quiet Riot and Dio I thought that there was nothing left and the crowd would start to leave the place (I mean, 8 HOURS on a concert it's something to get the crowd off), well, nothing of this happened, when TS came on stage it was as if the concert was starting and the pump of the crowd and the band was like magic. UNFORGETTABLE.



You want a great live album? Buy this one. And don't listen to anyone that says something different. Listen this one for yourself.



Highlight: We're Not Gonna Take It, Stay Hungry..........................................Almost everysong on the record.

Lowlight: They didn't include "The Price".
