5.0 out of 5 stars Blows Away "Live at Leeds" as the best live rock album ever!, May 30, 2002

Absolutely essential listening!!

How many rock artists do you know today that play "take-no-prisoners"-style hard-rocking guitar music with intelligent, inciteful, adult lyrics along with exploratory improvisational finesse and instrumental acumen? None that I can think of - at least none that do it anywhere near as well as Brother Wayne!!

Here it is captured white-hot, live and transcendent... direct to tape with no studio touch-ups... just 3 guys playing rock like their lives depend on it... and in Waynes case... IT PROBABLY DOES!!

I can't say enough good things about this artist or this CD in particular.

They just don't make albums/CD's like this anymore. This is what rock music should be. High energy, great material, and fantastic playing. I can't recommend this CD enough. It's meant to be played loud and it'll get your blood flowing. Buy this, you can't go wrong.

Before slipping this sizzling CD into a player, please open the booklet and read the essay by Wayne Kramer, since it provides a quick tour on the influence of the early rock/R&B live albums to his growth as an artist, the importance of playing gigs and an intriguing twist on how live performances have not always been found on stage.

The solid 14 tracks - clocking in at 71:25 - are culled from three Spring 1998 shows at The Mint (Los Angeles, California), as the "Anarchist in Residency" performs with bassist Doug Lunn and drummer Ric Parnell. The material mostly explores Kramer's recent releases on Epitaph Records and it doesn't get any better than the anthem for rusting dreams on the declining American landscape in "Something Broken in the Promised Land." The sonic explosion of a power trio is heard on "Bad Seed," with a real gem being Kramer's nod to the Beat Generation on "So Long, Hank." "Kick Out the Jams" is not treated like some ancient relic to fire up bored fans to rush to the merchandise stand after the final encore and "Bomb Day in Paris" captures the brutal moves by the puppeteers of the international chessboard.

During the golden age of rock music in the 1970s, the live album degenerated into a means to push product that had more to do with studio overdubs than chronicling the real performance. Kramer brings the true potential back to life.
