5.0 out of 5 stars A Shred Sensation, April 4, 2005

Perfect, i have never heard anything as beautiful as this. When I found this at a neighborhood yardsale i almost defecated my pants. Jeff Martin sings like an angel. 30 seconds into Paul Gilberts electric guitar solo and i was speechless. So Racers, if you're feeling dangerous, pop this cd in and let good times roll!

I've loved this band since I first discovered them back in the mid 80's. While "Extreme Volume I Live" shows the band in top form, the transfer to cd is not the best... good enough though. The playing is imaculate and all of the band's members went on to other things... Paul Gilbert of course went on to form Mr. Big and also have a successful solo career, Scott Travis went on the become Judas Priest's drummer, Jeff Martin became the drummer for Badlands, (Voodoo Highway and Dusk), and more recently the drummer w/ The Plot, (feat. Micheal Schenker-gtrs. and Pete Way- bass), John Alderete and Bruce Bouillet formed The Scream w/ John Corabi, (one time Motley Crue singer), and remain active in the music biz. Of course, all but Bruce continue to write, record, and perform as Racer X to this day. I recomend this to anyone who loves the over the top speed of light virtuosity of the late 80's and (very) early 90's when people really bothered to learn to play their instuments intstead of just using them as props. Vol. I features individual solos from each band member. This should really get 5 stars but the transfer cuts one star off... and it really isn't that bad... buy it and play it often... loud!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Listen to this CD...., February 24, 2003

If you're like me, a guitar player (15+ years) you've heard of the great Racer X.. I knew that they were fantastic, and that Paul Gilbert was an amazing player, but really, how good CAN he be???
I had my guitar in my hands when I popped in this CD for the first time, figuring I'd have me a little jam session with the disk, and, after about the first note of the opening song, I set down the guitar, and just listened to the entire disk, without moving or playing, just absorbing all that I could from this CD. If you are a guitar player, you MUST own or at least respect this CD.
