Although the Groundhogs never released an official live album during their 70's heyday, there have subsequently been numerous live releases made available. Sifting through the myriad of live Groundhogs CD's is something of a minefield, not least as some of their live material turns up repeatedly on various different titles. Quality control is also an issue; for what worth, I rate both the BBC Live In Concert and Live At Leeds '71 discs highly, but for me Live At The New York Club 1991 finds a seemingly tired and disinterested band merely going through the motions.
Hogs On The Road however comes highly recommended! Recorded in Germany in 1987 in support of Back Against The Wall, the band are energetic and attack the cross section of 'Hogs material with panache. Sound quality is excellent on this 2 CD set and, more good news, the tracklisting includes 3 additional songs which are not listed on the packaging, namely Split parts 1, 2 & 4. Excellent live 'Hogs!

First thing I MUST say - the sound quality is simply excellent, and even more surprising considering the age of the recordings. It is the best Groundhogs live recording I have heard, and one of the best live albums on CD (I am talking purely of the sound quality here).
I love it.
Now, one negative point:
This is a 2 CD set, with 10 tracks on CD1 and 7 tracks on CD2. However, the listing on the CD shows only 12 tracks in total and no mention of more than one CD.
There are 2 different track listings shown here on Amazon also, and they are both wrong.
The track listing is NOT:
1. Ground Hogs
2. Hogs In The Road
3. Express Man
4. Strange Town
5. Eccentric Man
6. 3744 James Road
7. I Want You To Love Me
8. Split IV
9. Soldier
10. Back Against The Wall
11. Garden
12. Split
13. Waiting In The Shadows
14. Light My Light
15. Me And The Devil
16. Mistreated
17. Ground Hogs Blues
18. Cherry Red
NEITHER is it:
Disc: 1
1. Express Man
2. Strange Town
3. Eccentric Man
4. 3744 James Road
5. I Want You to Love Me
6. Soldier
7. Back Against the Wall
8. Garden
9. Waiting the Shadows
10. Light My Light
Disc: 2
1. Me and the Devil
2. Mistreated/Groundhog Blues/Cherry
This second version is closest to what is written on the liner.
The actual track listing is as shown with the MP3 download versions availble on Amazon:
Disc: 1
1. Express Man
2. Strange Town
3. Eccentric Man
4. 3744 James Road
5. I Want You to Love Me
6. Split Part IV
7. Soldier
8. Back Against the Wall
9. Garden
10. Split Part I

Despite being advertised everywhere as a single disc - this is actually a double disc with 17 songs rather than the 12 shown on the sleeve. (track 12 on the sleeve actually being 3 separate songs plus 3 parts of Split. Also Amazing Grace is in there somewhere.)The Hogs are captured very well here and you could almost be in the audience. Being a long time Groundhogs fan, I was pleased overall by this disc, but with just one criticism. This applies a lot to Tony for a period and it is that he throws away the vocals. I think that Tony had a great blues voice and like to hear the way he sings on record, but often when live just spits out the words as fast as possible losing the soul in his voice. (particualrly Eccentric Man and Split part 1). Other than that ist would be excellent, so I rate just very good. Worth getting if you are a Groundhogs fan.
