4.0 out of 5 stars For Sandy West - this album rocks!, October 23, 2006

By	R. Blazak "Sociologist" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My friend in the 70s, David Coston, had this album on Japanese import and I borrowed it all the time. It sounded so much bigger than the studio albums. I'm finally getting my own copy today, in loving memory of Sandy West, one of the great all-time rock drummers!

5.0 out of 5 stars In honor of Sandy West and because The Runaways rock!, October 26, 2006

By	C. J. Bryant - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My review is in honor of Sandy West the drummer for The Runaways who passed away on October 21, 2006. I also have been a fan of The Runaways since they began. I grew up with them - have all their albums and still listen to their music. For me, it is the kind of music I can put on and instantly feel energized and alive. I love Queen's of Noise, California, American Nights and of course, Cherry Bomb from this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars On the Road..., February 21, 2005

By	Reijo Piippula "Rekko" (Turku, Finland) - See all my reviews

After making two enourmous studio albums The Runaways give them fans what they wanted for: a live recording. I like this live album so much because it is simpel and doesn't have anything strange: intros, outros, interludes, guitar solos, or anything absolutely nonesense. They just play and sing songs: that's what the audiences wishes for. There's three songs from their second album, Queens of Noise ("Queens of Noise", "California Paradise", "Neon Angels on the Road to Ruin"), four from their debut album ("Rock-n-Roll", "You Drive Me Wild", "Cherry Bomb", "American Nights"), and five previously unreleased songs ("All Right You Guys", "Wild Thing", "Gettin' Hot", "I Wanna Be Where the Boys Are", "C'mon"). I think there should have been at least one more track from "Queens of Noise"...maybe "Midnight Music" or "Heartbeat" would have been good. I think the previously unreleased songs are good in this live concert, especially "Gettin' Hot" and "I Wanna Be Where the Boys Are". The sound quality is very good and feels like you actually would be there listening to them. I like when audience sing with them "Rock-n-Roll" in the beginning of the song: "It's Alright!". Cherie Currie never loses her touch with the audience.
Stars: Cherry Bomb, Queens of Noise, I Wanna Be Where the Boys Are
