Mix The Kinks, Led Zeppelin's 78-80 era, U2, a host of pre-Rock 'n' Roll blues men, and a couple hundred sweaty people together and you'll get a great rockin' album like the live presentation of The 77's at The Warehouse in 1988. Anyone who really appreciates da blooz will dig these tunes. I mean, when you take a tune like "Mercy, Mercy", throw a jam in the middle of it, and stretch it out to 11 minutes, and then follow it up with two consecutive 12-minute tunes, you either have some great rock 'n' roll or some over-indulgent mess. Well, real rock 'n' roll is a little of both, I guess, and you get it all here.

HM Magazine #86Reviewed by Doug Van PeltWhen people talk about re-issues in the future, this one would be a great one to hold up as the standard-bearer. Why? Because, in addition to the original live disc, this one features an entire extra disc of live recordings! Several songs, like the hits "This Is The Way Love Is" and "Nobody's Fault But Mine" are included here from the 77's live recordings archive. We're treated to instrumentals,…Similar sounding releases
