3.0 out of 5 stars Detroit Rawk at its best, July 20, 2003

By	Ridley Cornsyrup (Kennewick) - See all my reviews

Two years ago, I saw these guys almost steal the show from the headliners White Stripes. "Raw and Rare" is a perfect description for these guys and gals and this disc will help tide over fans for their next album. A collection of mostly live tracks from the "Lack of Communication" material. These tracks do sound thicker and livelier than the studio versions and a better indication of the band's explosive live perfomances. Also included here are a couple killer covers. "R & R Nurse" is great reworking of the Compulsive Gamblers tune and "Take a Heart" is 7 minutes of pure Rawk. The album concludes with two specially recorded tracks, but are pretty much throwaways.

As a fan, I really enjoyed this CD, but if you are new to the band, I suggest trying "Lack of Communication" first as an introduction to this band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than all their studio work, January 29, 2006

By	Logan Seguin (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album does the band justice that i havent seen on any studio album by them. I have Pawn Shoppe Heart, and its pretty good, but after seeing them live, it just doesnt do them justice. This album shows all the energy they have on stage, and the female vocals sound incredibly better. The sound quality is great, and the track list as well. All in all, one of my favorite new "rock" live albums.
