Album Description

27 track live album recorded on tour in Europe in 1996. Since 1980, Bad Religion have been stunning the music world by mixing melody, thought, attitude, speed and ability. Bad Religion have sold over 5 million albums since their 1980 debut becoming punk legends in the process. Bad Religion has always seen music as a force for social change. On their last CD The Empire Strikes First, punk's most important active band takes its weightiest stance yet on the dual themes of religion and politics. Clearly condemning the Bush administration's doctrine of preemptive war, and questioning religion's increasing and ever-frightening role in American politics, Bad Religion's message proves to be more salient today than ever before and it's conveyed with the fierce musical attack that has helped define the band, and the genre, for two decades. Includes the hits 'Punk Rock Song' and 'A Walk', plus three previously unreleased tracks, 'Dream Of Unity', 'It's Reciprocal' and 'Tested'. Sony.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A transcendant musical experience.......2007-05-11

This album is a must for any true bad religion fan. Some of the songs on this album have never sounded better. Greg Graffin and the boys play their souls out, and it speaks. "American Jesus" is sublime. "Portrait of Authority" is perfected, and "Change of Ideas" sounds truly overwhelming. "Part III" is my personal favorite, and very fitting for the current politics,even though it was written so long ago. This song got me hooked on this album. When I drive, I always turn up this song. It, like Spinal Tap, reaches 11. "Dream of Unity" is also on this album, a hard to get gem. Greg Graffin's vocals are human, live and spontaneous, as in the version of "Generator" which is beyond compare. The liner notes are great, and they have descriptions of all the places they went, and where they recorded each individual song. There are some anecdotes that just boggle the mind.

Everybody who claims to like Bad Religion should have this CD. It is without a doubt my favorite live album of all time. The added heaviness makes the songs that much better, especially with such heavy hitters as "No Control." "Do What You Want" is also great. The whole album is great. Every critically minded music lover should feast upon the harmonic cornucopia that is Bad Religion! What other band has a PhD from Cornell leading the fracas? A band for the ages.. oh yeah, "Along the Way" is killer as well. Just buy it already!

You are the government!

4 out of 5 stars Complete Your Collection!.......2007-01-17

This is a very solid CD, like most of BR's are.

BR's approach was quite interesting. Instead of putting a lot of money and effort into capturing a couple of shows, then cleaning up the results in the studio, they recorded continuously with basic equipment through their whole tour -- and picked the best cuts with only modest editing.

(Nitpick: I'm not fully convinced that it works on every track - the background vocals were not captured well on some songs.)

But good grief, there are 27 recordings on here! Even a nominal BR fan can find something to like on this album, and the band really loaded it to the rafters. This would be a "two CD set" from anyone else, but BR really delivers!

I'm so glad too, that they included some of their rarities on here. You might not get a chance to hear those, even if you do attend a live show.

Definately give this CD a chance, if have already bought a couple of BR releases, and are considering getting more.

5 out of 5 stars life in a moment.......2006-04-05

this is one of the only live albums id ever spring the payola for. the raw energy in the performances is just unbalievable. after seeing B.R. live about 6,7 years ago i was very pleased with the album for it brought back that show. this is definetly one of those albums you can listen to over and over driving everyone around you crazy unless there die hard fans too. id give this three thumbs up along the five stars. two of my thumbs and one from the guy standing next to me.a most definet worthy purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2004-07-17

This CD is amazing. I give it four stars only because of certain songs that weren't included.

I'll review each of the three previously unheard tracks:

Dream of Unity: This song is famazing. That's all there is to it. It's a slow dirgey song about unity (duh.) It's just an incredible put-up-your-lighter song. They should put this on a mainstream release sometime. 7/5.

It's Reciprocal: Not bad at all, a lot better than some of the filler on Gray Race. I really like it. Good lyrics too. 4/5.

Tested: I just didn't get into this one. I'm not into it at all. 2/5.

Overall rating of the three new songs: 4/5.

Overall rating of the CD: 4/5.

Overall recommendation: Buy this, just for Dream of Unity and It's Reciprocal, not to mention some really great live versions.

Yes, I'd have liked to see some other songs like Anesthesia, Only Entertainment, Entropy, Walk Away, 21st Century Digital Boy, Inner Logic, Infected, and Handshake, but such is life.

5 out of 5 stars does any band sound better live than BR?.......2003-10-21

As someone who has listened to Bad Religion since they first came about, I am not only impressed by this album, I am obsessed with it.

This band found their style very early in their carreer and they have not changed it at all, even with all of the MTV pre-made poo that we are subjected to on a daily basis. Bad Religion still have the ability to write their own lyrics, and sound exactly the same as they did 10 years ago.

This album is living proof that this band sounds just as good live, if not better, than they do straight out of the studio.

I love hearing a song that I know and love in a different manner. It's especially good if you are drunk and want to sing along, but feel bad that you can never sound as good as they do.
