5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Black 47, September 3, 2002

By	Eric W. Hulbert "wonko389" (White Plains, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This is Black 47's best CD. Black 47 is one of the best live bands around, always giving 110%, and this album helps you appreciate their original sound and their hard work. This is also their last album with Chris still in the band, and his voice and hip-hop influences are currently missed. Every person for whom I have played this album is now a Black 47 fan as well, joining the loyal family of followers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Drunken Fun!, April 14, 2003

By	Eve Nevarre "Raven" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews

They cover Dylan, Bob Marley, and the Clash but they do it with the classic Irish flair as only Black 47 can. Kirwan's voice has never sounded worse but that is what makes the album so brilliant. It is almost endearing. This live version of "Funky Ceili" may be the best ever. "Green Suede Shoes" sounds great live as well. The vocals in "40 Shades of Blue" are excruciating but somehow suit the song perfectly. This album is good drunken fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as good as seeing the guys live, December 24, 2000

By	Derek I. Dalmolin "kell" (Bayonne, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first discovered Black 47 at the tender age of 18 (sneaking into Paddy Reilly's on Saturdays to watch the band). Every show was a new experience. Never had I been part of a crowd so affected by the music. And this CD captures that feeling. If you are a longtime fan, this is one to pick up to enjoy the live experience at home. If you are a newcomer to the Black 47 phenomena, pick this CD up to sample the flavor of one of their shows. Great fix for when you're jonezing for a Black 47 hit.
