Alice Donut were one of the finest bands of the late 80's/early 90's, and if you ever saw them live you would have been a fan for life. Lyrics that required some thought to write, excellent two guitar interplay and the occasional trombone combine for a lovely green meat stew of punk rock (if you must pigeonhole them). Every song on this live album is one of their best, performed during a tight live CBGB show complete with hilarious between song banter. If you buy this and "get it", then immediately purchase the rest of their catalog before it gets really hard to find. If you buy this and don't "get it", stick to things like Blink 182 until you have your first child and start amassing Sting and Michael Bolton records. Good luck.

Nope. This is a masterpiece. From the dubbed in Frampton style crowd noises to man screaming at the auidience to drink robitusin, this album is king. And the music kicks A*s!!! You'll like this one.

If you're an Alice Donut fan, this is gold. A great song selection, amusing lyrical changes on the opening song and of course the largely incoherent into to Demonologist.

This is easily in my top 5 list of great live albums. It serves as a chronological counterpoint to "Donut Comes Alive" as this has mainly later material on it. You can't really compare their first album with this one-they are both incredibly strong live performance albums. If you want to survey their music, buy this one and "Donut Comes Alive" first and foremost. Then scoop up all the rest, as others have mentioned, because if you grok this junk, you'll definitely need some more.

THIS WAS THEIR FIRST ALBUM I HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT THIS GREAT ALTERNATIVE PUNK FREAK POP BAND IN DECEMBER 2000
BY MY SISTERS EX BOYFRIENDS HOUSE.I WAS AMAZED BY THE LIVE, RAW
SET THEY PLAYED THAT NIGHT THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED.I LOVE HOW TOMAS ANTONA MAKES FUN OF PAUL STANLEY INSTEAD OF SAYIN COLD GIN HOW WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A TASTE OF ROBITUSSIN!!!!! I WAS ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING WHEN I HEARD THAT, HA HA HA THIS WHOLE ALBUM COMBINES ELEMENTS OF JANE'S ADDICTION, SLAP OF DEAD KENNEDYS OF HEAVY SARCASM LYRICS WISE.HANDS DOWN THE BEST UNRATED LIVE RECORD
IVE HEARD IN A WHILE,I THINK BETTER THAN MOST LIVE ALBUMS BY BANDS TODAY CUZ TODAY'S GARBAGE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO DONUT'S MATERIAL. PROPERLY PACKAGED WASTE BOX OF NON CREATIVE ARTISTS
IS ALL WE SEE NOW. SO DO ME A FAVOR THROW UR T.V. OUT THE WINDOW AND CORPORATE ROCK CD'S OUT THE WINDOW AND REVAMP UR COLLECTION BY STARTIN WITH THIS CD AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU SUCK DOGTURDS.

I will keep this short and simple.This is Alice Donut as they should be heard to really appreciate them...LIVE AND RAW!!!!!I have been a fan since 1987 and this is one of the best and funniest live albums I ave ever heard.GET THIS NOW!!!!!!
