George Thoroughlygood..
There are those acts that do their best work in the studio but are pretty dull live and there are those who are in their element in intimate live venues. GT is a perfect example of the latter. IMO his studio albums are pretty so-so as the tunes are all quite similar as the instrumentation is fairly basic and the production quite flat. The live recordings, of which this is marginally the best, are another kettle of fish. With 'Live' you get to feel the vibe of the gig. The energy just pours out from start to finish and the versions of the one dimensional studio recordings are made meatier, gutsier and much more fun. I've heard scores of live albums and this one is considerably better than many highly rated (and often doctored)live recordings. In fact I'd put it on a par with Dr Feelgood's legendary 'Stupidity' and the Allman Bros classic Fillmore. So, if you're not that familiar with GT's stuff but are interested in checking him out futher, this is the one to get, no question about it.

what a blast
This is no shrinking violet of an album, more a full on roller coaster that begs to be played at volume setting 11. A fusion of blues, country, rock - loads of slide guitar and great backing makes this one of my all time favourites. Pour yourself a bourbon, a whisky and a beer and just soak up the atmosphere of one of the greatest live acts ...ever. GT has been around for some 20 years now and likes to sing about the earthier side of life - being skint, getting wrecked, having no job, The kind of stuff that most of us can relate to. If you want a powerhouse of of a hard core, hard edged blues album that is guaranteed to stir the emotions this is for you.
