Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A nice sounding recording with many pictures.......2005-01-06

I have to admit that I was so psyched up to get this when I heard about it. I was lucky enough to finally see the Wildhearts here in American for the 1st time twice last year and couldn't wait to hear these discs. After the first listen though, I lost all my enthusiasm. Some of the older tracks are on here which is great for a long time fan like me but for some reason, the songs didn't jump out at me like their studio recordings. A stamp on the cover states, "100% Live" which I am to assume means no overdubs or fixing in the studio. The recordings and performances are adequate enough but that is the rub. I was looking for the greatness that I found in the live Japanese release "Tokyo Suits Me" a few years ago or the "Anarchic Airwaves" set from a few years earlier than that one. There are some great tunes on here, don't get me wrong. I will buy anything they put out that contains the songs Greetings From Sh*tsville, Caffeine Bomb, Nita Nitro (my all-time Fave), Suckerpunch, Turning American, My Baby Is A Headf*^k, Weekend, and Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes. The live version of Cheers is included but doesn't improve on the studio version. These guys played Caprice at both shows in Pittsburgh and I just wondered why. It is on here as well. A few of their B side songs are included in the set which could have been improved with other CD album songs instead. There are 4 videos listed on disc 1 but I was unable to access them so a waste for me. Many, many pictures in the booklet but they are so small that you almost need a magnifying glass. Still a solid 4 because of the songs and The Wildhearts being back together again (minus Danny). I just expected something more from these guys. Their studio records are just so addicting. Check them out if you haven't already. Not one track from their "Endless, Nameless" CD is on here which I was surprised by. Some of those songs need to be heard in a live environment removed from that horrible mix. Come to think of it, nothing from "Fishing for Luckies" is on here either. I am glad that the in between song Ginger babble was kept to a minimum here, he basically begged our crowd to "buy the new CD" between every song which made him look really pathetic at the Pittsburgh shows.
