Why bother.......2006-09-13

This re-issue really kills the album completely. It's only half of the live tracks, and none of the new studio tracks. And honestly, without the new studio tracks, there's really no point in bothering with this album.

what about the new songs ???.......2006-04-03

A big disapointment that the new tracks, which are all good songs are not included.
when it first came out i thought they could have saved the new tracks for a future album and left it as live hits only cd, but they included the new songs and therefore they should have been included on the remastered version. Buy the original 2 cd set instead.

Not worth it without the second cd.......2005-12-13

This Poison release, 'Swallow This Live' really dates back to 1991. It was originally a double album, with four new studio tracks recorded specifically for this affair. 'Swallow This Live' was notable in that it was the final Poison effort before guitarist C.C. DeVille left the band (he later returned). This version here is a recent reissue of that previously released album.

Here, 'Swallow This Live' is now a single disc which omits several of the cuts from the double album. These include the new studio cuts, such as "So tell me why." The average fan isn't missing too much, because some of those studio tracks were not top notch. They sounded like left overs from earlier Poison albums. The double disc version of 'Swallow This Live' also contained both a drum solo and guitar solo, two very pointless tracks that took up a lot of running time. These did not survive the trip.

On their own, the live tracks are a good retrospective of Poison in concert. If you don't already like Poison, this one won't convert you. However, the Poison performances here are very entertaining. While some tracks sound a little sloppy, all of your favorites are right here.

If you are a devoted fan of Poison who doesn't already own this, skip it. You will want the 1991 double cd version of 'Swallow This Live' by Poison, not this single disc copy. While this streamlined reissue trims a lot of fat from the earlier copy, this stuff that is left off is a necessity for a Poison completist. Some people might even argue that 'Power to the People', a similar Poison album combining live cuts with a few new studio tracks, is a better purchase.

Maybe Give This CD To My Girlfriend So She Will Take A Hint?.......2005-04-28

Poison can really rock when they play live. This would have to be one of my favourite live albums. C.C. DeVille's guitar work on the track "Talk Dirty To Me" is even more intricate than the studio recorded version. This guy would have to be one of the best rock guitarists around. These guys are like a Mack truck-once they get rolling they are near impossible to stop!!!I recommend this album to any aspiring rock guitarist who wants to hear how it's really done and done well!!!

2004 Reissue of Swallow this Live.......2004-07-03

Swallow this Live was originally released in 1991 as a two disc set. Included on the two disc set were five studio tracks. Here we have a 2004 reissue from Capitol/EMI abridging the disc to where it can be a single CD. Besides the five studio tracks missing, there is also a drum solo and guitar solo, and the strange placement of Every Rose Has It's Thorn at the very end of the disc, as well as some of the profanity edited out. If you overlook the missing solo's and studio tracks, you're left with a decent live document of Poison's Flesh and Blood tour.In 1991 Poison was still at the top of their game, the single disc should satisfy casual fans, but hardcore fans would probably rather find a copy of the original two disc version.
