I had this album on vinyl about 20 years ago. I just never got round to replacing it with a CD. Now I have it back and it is on my CD player almost constantly. There is not a bad or "filler" track on this album. Listen paricularly for the title track, and the classic rocker "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight. A great live album, from one of the greatest bands of all time.
Format:Audio CD
is that really worth buying it on cd ?
well, listening to the original lp on my cheap stereo, it gives me thrills 'cause the sound is deep and heavy !
i can read, there are bonus tracks, but are they so damned good ?

This rerelease should have been treated with more respect
13 Sep 2011
Format:Audio CD
There can be no doubting that this is a classic live album. If you don't know, The Silver Bullet Band were so good in the late 70s/early 80s that they could tear up a storm in any arena. The music on this is ample evidence and, like Live Bullet, a seminal double live album.
New remasters should make the best possible of releases. But....
On the first cd release fans bemoaned the fact that Let It Rock had been edited down from the 10min 30sec it was on the original vinyl release. This should have been the time to put it right but Capitol hasn't! It is still the edited version. A star dropped :-(
The bonus track Brave Strangers should also have been placed after We've Got Tonight because, like the studio album, it followed it in most live shows on the tour. Another star dropped for this :-(
What is here is fantastic but is could have been and should have been even better.

Great recording except...
20 Sep 2011
Format:Audio CD
This cd is a great recording; except it does what a lot of recordings do; when released on cd, it gets something omitted, or shortened. Specifically, Let It Rock gets cut down, to make room, on the rerelease for a bonus track; which could have been for another recording, or make it two discs and release the track in full, plus the extra track. It sucks when companies do this, or make listeners buy imports, e.g., Bursting Out by Jethro Tull. The original cd omitted three songs. Result? Buying an import 2 disc; which should have been in the original release to begin with. Otherwise, has many great songs: Against The Wind; Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight, and many more. If people are willing to pay (and to wait [though it might be forever]) a re-rerelease that actually includes both the extra track and the full length Let It Rock, how 'bout it-eh?

a missed opportunity
7 Oct 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a little disappointed by this edition, the sound is generally improved compared to the previous edition of the 90, but the impression is that Capitol didn't use the original masters, they simply tried to improve what had already been prepared for the previous edition:
- Let It Rock has been shortened even
- The sound at the end of old time rock n roll has some imperfections, as if the tape used was ruined
Definitely better than the previous edition, but it is still an issue in low budget, we look forward to a final deluxe edition with bonus tracks and expanded booklet
