I first heard this album in'90.I recomend you listen to this cd a couple of times before forming an oppinion.These guys are tight.Andy prieboy picks up nicely where Stan Ridgeway left off.WVD's rendition of Johnny Cash's "Ring of fire" is to what Johnny's rendition of Trent Reznor's "Hurt"is.
My favorites on this disk are "Wrong way to Hollywood","Blackboard sky" & "Living in the red" and thats not to take anything away from any of the rest of the disk.I just feel these are the most hipnotic trax.For a live album I rate it "e",for exellent.A great mix of moog & tradition...Like a rootbeer float,they go great together,well in this case anyway.

I was so lucky to have stumbled across this CD some ten years ago in some cut-out bend at the record store. I had always been a WOV fan and fan of Stan Ridgway. Well, when I saw that this wast the Andy Prieboy WOV I was not sure how good it would be. Well, it took me one track to fall in love with this great album. The band is incredibly tight and clean. Prieboy taunts the crowd and then pleases them with some blistering vocals. Marc Moreland is his great self. Any WOV should have this in there collection.
