5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't think he was THIS good!, August 12, 1999

I have been a Gary Hoey fan for about five years. I saw him live in '94 and it was a great, although somewhat short, performance, only about eight songs. However, this recording is untouchable. My God! Hoey tears it up on every single track here. As a guitarist myself, it sounds to me like he has been working diligently to improve his playing ability. I think he has greatly strengthened his technique and speed, and this show is THE BEST thing I've ever heard from him. Don't wait, don't think. Just shell out the money for this album and soak up a HELL of a performance! Unfortunately, though, someone borrowed this from me and never gave it back! I guess that proves how cool this album is, but I'm furious! Maybe I should buy it again, huh?

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Killer Album, November 27, 1999

This is my favorite Hoey album. Everything on this album just rocks. Catchy melodies, killer solos, great tone. I've been to 3 live Hoey shows, and while it's impossible to capture the raw magic of a live show, this cd did a great job of capturing the raw sound. If you have never heard Hoey before then this is a great cd to start with.

I love live CD's even though they can be a major let down. This one is anything but. I love this mans musik and guitar playing and this is the best one yet. His playing gets even better in a live environment and his band is awesome. His playing is inspired and his material lends itself brilliantly to the stage.
HIGH TOP BOP / PEACE PIPE / LINUS & LUCY are simply brilliant.
His version of RED HOUSE is good as well and shows another side to this artist. ( maybe a blues CD wouldn't be out of the question????) The 2 bonus studio tracks are also gems. Enough said - BUY IT !!
