No records had resume enough good the energy of a band live on stage! The Descendents were probably the best punk-rock band to see live! This live CD contain all of their hits with all their live energy, well, that's awesome!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Descendents live..Could it be any better than this?, June 10, 2005

magician of sadness "forbidden_sorcery" (Kentucky) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Liveage (Audio CD)

Let me start this review by saying that almost without exception,I hate live albums.For me,live albums are little more than a band's excuse to milk the public for money,not to mention the arrogance of the group in question's assumption that every schmuck with ten extra dollars would go right out and plop it down for their slab o'plastic.Then'there's the feedback,onstage mistakes,and usual stupidity of people in a group.That didn't happen with the Descendents Liveage album.This is as close as one could possibly get to perfection without actually having been there yourself.In fact,in a rare occurrence,the Descendents play almost all of the songs I would have asked them to play had I selected the songs.Yes,a few songs aren't on the album,but MAN,what a setlist."Silly Girl,"perfectly played by Egerton,to me sounds even better live than it did on the original album,and my personal favorites "Clean Sheets"and Pervert"are absolutely excellent.And in this case,the audience participation actually added to the performance,not detracted from it,especially the guy that shouted "I have"during "All-O-Gistics."Well done gents,well done indeed.Folks,buy this album..You will NOT be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE TEMPLATE LIVE PUNK CONCERT: Descendants 'Liveage', December 23, 2002

By 

Coopy Fender Beupus (Alexandria, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Liveage (Audio CD)

Anyone who has ever had the opportunity to see their favorite band(s) perform at the historic First Ave. in Minneapolis, Minnesota probably has a good story to tell about the experience. The Descendants performance could easily be included.
Bashing out tunes like 'Silly Girl' and 'I'm Not A Loser' stand as a form of template for up-and-coming aggressive punk go-getters with pubic hair counts in the single digits.
BOTTOM LINE: GREAT PUNK SHOW. A MUST HAVE.
