MxPx fans need to be sure to get this album. It's very well produced for a live album, and it has lots of their new songs on it, like tommorow's another day, i'm ok you're ok, cold and all alone, and some of the older stuff too. It all rocks!! Especially the cover of the Ramones "kkk took my baby away." If u like punk music, u better buy this cd!

Well MxPx is back and its about time. I love the new CD. I cant even tell its live. The one thing Ive always admired about MxPx is the way they right about life and how it is. Having these Chrstians stand out like a thumb tack is what this world needs. God gave them a gift and they are using it.

Best job of recording a Live album I've heard. Most live albums magnify the singers voice and drown out the instruments so badly it's better just to buy the actual albums. But with a superb job of recording it is definately worth 15 bucks to have an MxPx show in sitting in your CD case. Very cool to hear MxPx live and with a little different sound. If you are just starting out on MxPx grab Life In General or Slowly Going The Way Of The Buffalo. Then after you get those buy this CD and Let It Happen.

MXPX is not a band generally liked by people claiming to be "true punk rock" fans, and to be honest, the band is not really punk rock at all. MXPX is decidedly pop punk, in line with bands like Good Charlotte or Blink-182, but MXPX brings a certain level of reality to their music that is mostly evident on their live album, recorded at the 9:30 Club in Baltimore. Baltimore has a huge punk scene, and yet MXPX, with melody, harmonies and happinessm completely blew everyone away with the release of this album. Here we have a band with true skill and the subsequent recording of a live album without any added "studio magic", like Blink-182's "Mark, Tom and Travis Show", that is also a testement to their ability to play their songs without fault and to make a truly great live show. I can't rate individual songs off the album, as I consider it to be almost one long song, and prefer to view it like I would a show, but all these songs are well handled enough for me to confidently give the album 5 stars. It will not disappoint, wether you're a die-hard fan or have only just heard of MXPX.

Seriously this IS the best cd I own. They provide a great combination of an awesome punk sound and very low-key christian lyrics. What I mean by this is that they have a line or two in most songs that talk about God and Salvation, but they don't overbear you with line after line of it. That is what I like about them. They prove that you can be a strong christian and still have fun in life. And what some people say about them is true, they almost sound better live than on othjer cd's. I'm not making that up because I just saw them on May 1st with another great band, Ghoti Hook, and they were incredible! But don't let that stop you from buying their ither cd's, I have Life In General, Pokinatcha, and Let It Happen and love them just as much. Best songs are, in no specific order: Tomorrow's Another Day, Chick Magnet, (Party,My House, Be There), Small Town Minds, Want Ad, Lifetime Enlightment, Middlename, The Theme Fiasco, and Punk Rawk Show. Any Punk Fan will LOVE this CD! Buy this, you will not be dissapointed, I PROMISE!

P.S. If you know anything about Slick Shoes, e-mail me at akientz@alltel.net because I want to know if they're any good.

This has to be one of the best live cds i have ever heard. The cd has live versions from all of their major cds, and all the songs sound great. From the beginning of the cd at Tomorrow's Another Day to the ending with Punk Rawk Show, Mike Herrera's vocals are great and the whole band sounds awesome. This is a great cd for a hardcore MxPx fan and also great for someone who has never heard MxPx, because it has some of MxPx's greatest hits.

I recently just saw MxPx on their On the Road Again tour, so on this album the set is a little different, but it is still amazing. MxPx puts on one great live act filled with so much energy that, even if you aren't an MxPx fan, you can enjoy the show. From the opening song "Tomorrow's Another Day" all the way to their closing theme "Punk Rawk Show", the show is an energy rush the whole way through. In between we get tracks mostly off of "Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo" and "Life in General", with some "Let it Happen" and "Teenage Politics." Bottom line is, just get this album. 23 songs of pure energy. Other tracks to check out: Chick Magnet, Party,My House,Be There, Middlename, The Theme Fiasco, and KKK Took My Baby Away(cover).

This is just an amazing CD. It is full of energy from start to finish. If you do not have any mxpx CD's you should start with this one because it gives you a feel for each of their albums. I love the ramone's cover song that they do.

I was really suprised when I picked up this CD, and found that this is the best sound quality that I've heard from a live CD. Not to say that the songs aren't great also. With all of their great songs, and a great cover of "KKK Took My Baby Away". Anyone who likes MxPx and owns at least one of their previous albums needs to pick this up. You won't be disapointed, and with 23 awesome live songs, you'll have something to listen to for quite a while.

great cd, captures their live sound perfectly
