5.0 out of 5 stars IT'S ABOUT TIME! LOVERBOY LIVE ROCKS!, April 5, 2002

Anybody growing up in the early eighties should remember crankin their car stereos up loud to such party hardy songs as "Working For The Weekend" and "Jump". Then there were the hard driving ballads like "When It's Over" and all out fun rockers like "Hot Girls In Love". These guys played hard, even though their image was a bit much for the guys. You know what I mean, The red leather pants, Mike Reno's bandanas, and even their name "Loverboy" made it a little tougher for us guys to say "Loverboy - Hell Yeah, Man". Now had they been "Mike Reno & The Raiders" or something. Never the less, behind the image was some hard drivin' all out rock n roll worthy of all respect.

This LIVE CD proves how good of musicians these guys really were. I mean these guys played tight, as tight as their pants, and really knew how to rock the joint. This should have been released back in '86. The songs on this CD were taken from concerts that included their tour with Journey. Loverboy & Journey, now there was a sold-out stadium event if there ever was one. This is one of the Superbowl's of concert recordings.

Do yourself a favor, and relive your youth, at least in your music.

RECOMMENDATION: Buy this CD, drop the kids off with grandma for a couple hours, and lose yourself for a little while back in the eighties.

5.0 out of 5 stars Die Hard 80's Fan, January 26, 2002

What a fantastic CD!!! I was really into Loverboy from 1980 to 1986. then only got it out from time to time, replacing my old albums with the CD's when they came out. There is nothing bad about this CD. The sound quality is awesome and the mix of songs is perfect, with only a couple missing. Gangs In The Street and Teenage Overdose. I saw Loverboy live twice in the early 80's and this CD takes me back to those great years. I wish they would have released a live album like this back when they were in their prime.

I remember seeing these guys open for Journey in 82 at The Omni(Atlanta) and being surprised at how hard they rocked. They were overtly corporate and seemed to have every cliche in the book. But, they also had something that other great rock bands like Kiss(70's version), Journey, AC/DC, etc had- they had great hooks. From the opening cow bell of Working For The Weekend, to Take Me To The Top, Queen of the Broken Hearts, Turn Me Loose, Hot Girls In Love, Lucky Ones, etc.... these guys delivered the goods. They were also a very tight band. They never pretended to be master musicians like Zeppelin or The Who, but they knew how to play in the pocket, especially Paul Dean. His kinetic guitar playing and great sense of rhythm really propelled these songs. Maybe I'm getting old, but it seems like music was just more fun back in the early 80's and this band kicked ass.
