3 out of 5 stars Gene alive.......2005-10-10

pretty good live document of this powerful english rock band. all the songs sound good and there aren't really many surprises. solid.

5 out of 5 stars Good live track selection and sound.......2003-05-15

I already had a prior compilation for this band so I've already heard a number of the tracks and its saving grace was the differences between the live and studio versions and the new songs. Few live albums have a real strong sense of closure, but the track selection on this one has a good arc and makes you want more, just like a good studio album

5 out of 5 stars Pleasant Surprise!.......2000-10-21

As a huge fan of Gene, I assumed they were a "studio" band. I assumed that their soft electronic rythms and techno beats would fail miserably on a live album. Any Grateful Dead lover will tell you there is nothing quite as painful as a sub-par live album when it comes to one of your favorite bands.

Fortunately, I was completely wrong. This recording from the Troubado in Hollywood is TOP NOTCH! Though unaided by high-tech gadgetry, lead singer Martin Rossiter's vocals are superb.

I wouldn't push this CD on a first time Gene listener, but for anyone even familiar with their work, this is a must have CD.

5 out of 5 stars Gene - Rising For Sunset review.......2000-08-12

Wonderful live album from a wonderful live act. Contains just about every Gene song that you could wish for including 2 promising new songs. If you lke Gene this is an essential purchase, if you want to find out what they're like then this is a good starting place
