As a fan of Bob since Sugars 'Copper Blue' and being unable to see him live, this is as close as i'll get to a gig.
A lovely snapshot of some of his music thro' his career, all done with the passion and energy I've heard about from gig reports and reviews.
The version of 'Celebrated Summer' is worth the money alone, 'Paralysed' and 'See a litle light' are as fantastic.
This is a essential part of any collection of Bobs music - buy it, buy it now!!!
Now, how can i bribe the man to come to Edinburgh???

This is a raw, fast and vital live set from Bob Mould and his band (Jason Narducy on bass, Richard Morel on keyboards and Jon Wurster on drums).
Despite his lengthy career, there's nothing here that resembles an artist going through the motions: unlike some recent reunions of old acts for example, this live set has more energy than you'd get from most new bands on their first album.
The set starts with classics from the first Sugar album, Copper Blue (The Act We Act, A Good Idea), goes via Bob's solo work (See A Little Light, Paralyzed) and ends with a sequence of Husker Du gems (like I Apologize and Makes No Sense At All). It's all played with skill and pace and the live mix does a good job of putting you right there in the room.
Highly recommended.

For any Bob Mould fan, just looking down the set list on the back cover makes you think this is going to be something a bit special. Popping the CD in and pressing "Play", you're greeted with a few drum hits and guitar noises that let you know it's been well recorded and that this *is* going to be an awesome listen.
Starting off with the opening tracks from Sugar's classic Copper Blue, "The Act We Act" and "A Good Idea", the intensity rarely lets up throughout the entire CD. When this was recorded in 2008, Bob Mould was almost 50 and he still had more energy and vitality than any modern-day watered-down punk upstarts. After delving into the the "hubcap" solo album ("I Hate Alternative Rock", one of the better tracks from that patchy record) and representing the brilliant "Workbook" album with "See a Little Light", it's back to "Copper Blue" for "Hoover Dam", before playing the more recent "Circles" and "Paralyzed", both of which offer a slight change of pace (but are also the weakest tracks here). The final four songs are classics taken from the Hüskers back catalogue with "I Apologise", "Chartered Trips", the untouchable "Celebrated Summer" (worth buying for this track alone!), "Makes No Sense At All" and closing with the rousing thrash of "New Day Rising". It's understandable that after nearly 25 years, there's a lack of desperation in the delivery of the closing track, but with the drums and guitar as fierce as ever, it still seems to blow everything away that has come since! Having seen Bob Mould solo and with an electric band, his vocals were always really strong and close to perfection. On here, however, he's having a rare off-day and his voice cracks and several points during the set. It doesn't detract massively though and this is a great live recording of an artist of great power. If you have even a passing interest in the man's music, you'll love this CD!
