Recorded proof that the current "Two York Dolls" version of the New York Dolls is still an amazing live act. Musically, they're tighter than the original band ever was. While some of the original magic has faded, this version of the Dolls still ROCKS!

this CD rocks.. as my wife is the Dolls fan in the family
she would also have to agree with the other post that its not long enough..what they should have done was to make a double live CD from the tour..with more of the new songs.
perhaps a DVD as well. (hint hint)
keep up the great work guys.. glad to have you around again.

All songs on this cd are much better than the first reunion live cd and all the old live recordings. My major complaint is the length of the cd and the fact that there only 2 songs from their fantastic studio reunion cd. The dolls have never sounded better.

I've seen the boys twice now in the past couple years, and this is a great example of how much fun they have onstage. Sylvain is still the life and blood of the band, and DJ is the preening dandy that he always was. The band sounds tight...but not too tight. Conte is an admirable fill-in for the late Johnny Thunders, and Fancy Pants Delaney keeps the backbeat goin' long and strong. Sami is also a joy to watch movin' all over the stage.

The recording sounds great. This is no cheap-sounding, secondhand bootleg. It sounds like the sound engineers really cared about the product they were putting out! I only wish there were more songs to listen to.

Could you ask for a better CD for $5? No. So skip the MP3 album (which costs $10), and buy the CD! The best $5 you'll ever spend on a piece of music.

What a great sound this band has, The original dolls made it and the current dolls tightened it.
Wow, David Johansen has proven he can sing just about any genre of music and sing it beautifully. Sylvain Sylvain is playing better than ever, and the new Dolls are keeping it altogether and alive. Steve Conte has put a fresh coat on the old songs while keeping the new in the Dolls veins. If you don't own a live Dolls cd then this is the one for you. If this is the first Dolls cd you own or are thinking or owning grab the whole catalog and see what else your missing.

Have To Say. This Is One Of The Best Live Albums I Ever Heard. The Sound Quality Is Excellent And By The Time Your Done Listening To This Your Energy Is Pumped.(Listen To This Loud With Some Good Headphones And You'll No What I Mean.)A Must For All "NYD" Fans."

This is the new "Dolls". With only Sylvain and David still alive from the original band they recruited some of the most compatible musicians to keep the spirit of the 70's New York Dolls alive.

David's voice sounds a little strained at times, but his harp playing is incredible, in keeping with the spirit of the Dolls some of the key changes jar a little, but they were always meant to. This cd represents the natural evolution of The New York Dolls....... if you're a fan, get it and cherish it....

The reunited Dolls were great out of the box but they are really hitting hard now. This CD opens with a killer version of Babylon, the best Babylon I have ever heard.

I notice that the limited pressing sold out quick but the used items are available very cheap. Get it while you still can. This one just roars.

Did I mention that Babylon rocks really, really, extra-especially hard?

Recorded live at two gigs at the famed Fillmore East - December 28-29, 2007. As huge of a live album fan that I am - this is a true gem. Fully appreciated the two songs they played off their 'One Day It Will Please' reunion CD - "Rainbow Store" and the *ss-kicking "Dance Like A Monkey". As always, it's also great to hear the classics they had time to play like "Trash", "Jet Boy" "Pills" and "Lonely Planet Boy". Never really gets old, does it? Highly recommended.

This CD is great for riding to work in the morning if you teach high school! I was in NYC at this concert and thoroughly love the CD.
