5.0 out of 5 stars Live Indeed!!!, September 30, 2003

If this was a new release by the latest grunge/rock press darlings,it would be raved about.It sounds as contemparary as anything put out by bands a quarter the age of Link Wray and,unlike most of the official live releases by most artists,sounds to me just what it purports to be,Link Wray recorded absolutely live.I saw Link and his band on this U.K. tour,caught them in Newport,Wales,just a few nights before these shows were recorded,and this disc brought it all back.You do not get a lot of stage talk with Link Wray,he walks on,plugs in and he's away.These recordings snarl,sneer,rock and roll all at the same time,they show more of the true rock'n roll/punk spirit than anything I've heard in years and they are pure Link Wray.WHY IS THIS MAN NOT A SUPERSTAR???

From the first buzzed out chords of "Walking Down a Street Called Love" through the end of the second helping of the classic "Rumble", this album is almost pure wild and wooly raunch. Almost because of two ballads, 14 and 17, and "Fire" which is kinda long and repetitive. But the remaining 15 tracks are WELL worth the price of admission. A must buy!
