"This is good live stuff, but I would kiss a truck stop toilet seat to be able to purchase this bands first three studio releases."
It's too bad it's only one night

"Black N' Blue was one of the victims of the demise of pop metal in the late 1980s. It had a decent run -- four Geffen records -- and some moderate MTV airplay of two videos. This live album encompasses the best of those songs in a one-night show in the band's hometown of Portland, Oregon. The rawness of the LP makes you feel as if you attended the show. The band sounds great and looks great, too. They are out of the glam scene. Guitarist Tommy Thayer, who wrote a few songs for Kiss, has started EON records. We only can hope Black 'N Blue releases more music on this or any other label."
I was there- and yes, it sounded this good!

"I first saw B&B in Texas, 1985, opening for Kiss. Two years ago I had by chance relocated to Portland where the band originated, and was lucky enough to attend this one-off reunion show at Key Largo (now called "Ohm".) Think and say what you will about the 80's "hair bands", but these guys were the real deal, and this performance proves it- Definitely seasoned pros! Unfortunately the reunion was only temporary, so I'd love to see their back catalogue reissued on CD!"
A LONG TIME COMIN'...SAVED MY EARS MAN!!!

"It took me years of searching for some info about B'n'B since their first three kicka.. albums are in the "imposible" to find list, even on the internet. Its great to know that they are still alive (mean that literally) and that so many fans are in need of more of their music as well. This Live album really makes justice to the band as they sound even better than themselves?. Get it and see what I mean. GEEEEETAR!!! B'n'B drew the line when it came to the 80's HARD ROCK scene specialy when onstage.The act-itude mannnn! It would be great to have more off them going around. It would be great for another studio album from them to come out.??? A lot of "trendy" rock bands (and fans) going around today could really use listening to this "THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS" BLACK'N'BLUE ROCK BAND... Sound like a fan? I AM!!!"
