5.0 out of 5 stars almost like being at their show, December 2, 1999

absolutely a must for the discerning (aging?) punker...i especially enjoy the ad libs from Mr. Morris between songs- he's a genuine entertainer. ...the album brought me back to a show of theirs in 1986 here in Chicago. buy it! (then tape it and give copies to all your wonderful friends)

5.0 out of 5 stars All the best songs live, September 10, 2003

This is the closest the Circle Jerks ever came to releasing a greatest hits album. All of their best songs played live at breakneck speed. 22 songs in 40 minutes. If you like circle jerks, buy this amazing live album. The recording quality is amazing, they sound almost the same as they do on their albums. The best songs on here are Beat me Senseless, Wild In the streets, I and I, and I Don't. ...

5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL PUNK ROCK, July 27, 2006

This is THE essential recording by the Circle Jerks. (I have all of their other albums as well.)

As a 30 year old Circle Jerks fan, I find that this is a mix of their best material from their early albums. I have seen them in concert 3 times and I have found that this is a great representation of their shows.

I have bought the gig CD twice because one of my friends stole my first copy.

It's truly unfortunate how underrated the Circle Jerks have become over the years. Too many have dismissed them for being too poppy, not being hardcore enough or as being too childish. I find that most people who describe them that way only have a cursory knowledge of one of the greatest punk bands ever.

The lyrics are smart, the music makes sense and most importantly (and which rarely happens now days) you can hear the band having FUN on stage.

How can you go wrong with 22 songs for 16 bucks?
