5.0 out of 5 stars Turned on and high!, November 27, 2002

This is a great live document of a band that is clicking on all cylinders; truly transcendent. In addition, it contains the only "live" version of "Out there" (the Live in Australia CD is a "Live in studio" effort) and a truly awesome version it is. The version of "Down and away" is preceded by the unreleased in any form "Mask" and an amazing "Turned inside out" follows. As a matter of fact, this 15 minutes or so (Mask, Down and away and Turned inside out) is, in my opinion, the most astonishingly honest and brutal self-assessment on record. A great, essential document, you'd be a fool to miss it

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Hank at his best, August 15, 1999

My only complaint is that the whole show is one track. Other than that this is Rollins at his best. The show is tight and has plenty of improvision on Henry's part. I wish there was more material like this avalable.

With Hot Animal Machine currently out of print, Turned On is, I think, one of the earliest recordings available by the Rollins Band. This album is pushing to be ten years old and still sounds as good as any of this band's newer stuff. Each song is a solid work of music, with Henry's gravelly shouts and screams, Chris's distorted guitar riffs, Andrew's deep and low basslines, and Sim's hard drum hits and cymbal crashes. I prefer this live album to the subsequent studio recordings after it, if only for the passionate fire and fury of the Rollins Band live. Henry's throat must've been in shreds afer the rips he pulled on it during this show. Down&Away and Turned Inside Out are perfect examples. Yeah, the whole album on one track is a little annoying, but the honesty and heart of it all outweighs this petty complaint.
