Having had the opportunity to check out this remarkable band during several stages of it's unending metamorphosis, I am well aware of what a Nazareth show sounds like. I am equally aware of what a Nazareth show feels like. This outstanding collection has somehow managed to capture both ! The sound quality is in a word ... impeccable ! The interaction between band and crowd is as it should be. The reason for my rating being four stars out of five is.. This live disc is so utterly fantastic, that it should have been a double or triple disc release. I've left one star open for "Snaz 2".

I had this album on cassette several years ago, it was stolen with many others. It is the one I missed the most. I spent many years trying to find it again. My prayers have been answered. If you think Cheap Trick at Budokan was the ultimate live album of the 80's, your sadly mistaken.

Nazareth's albums all had a "lighter" tone to them that always bothered me, so that is why this CD is so great. It captures them in their live concert fury, with loud guitars and lots of noise. Some of the songs are throwaways, but for the most part, this is what Nazareth should have sounded like in the studio. If you are an old fan-pick this up. It will give you a completely different look into this band and how they could really ROCK.
